i dont see how chunky has said anything revolutionary, in fact his problems have been outlined by pretty much all of us, the fact of the matter though that this ship has much the same vulnerabilities as a maelstrom, so saying its bad because it will have trouble tracking something close up is pretty stupid. and lets face it any active shield tanker is gonna have problems with neuts.
secondly the point of this setup is to bait the kind of fights that you cant get out of a maelstrom, preferably something in your optimal with ships that wont do enough damage to crack you or have enough tank to last too long against you.
but i guess if a mael is obviously so much better that should be the ship of choice as youll probably get the most people engaging you!
You have mentioned the problems but passed them to the side as if they are not that much of a nuisance (especially the cap).. they are and you are literally retarded. Go fly it and stop playing with EFT, so fucking dumb.
You have this idea that you're going to find a small gang made up only of recons. (also in low sec due to crystals and the recons also have to be retarded to die to this) If they have absolutely anything else with them (and they will) you're going to diaf.
edit: Before 'but a mael...' a mael is vastly more resistant to neuts.
