Ranseur vs. Sarissa

[Prysin]

Compare the stats and take into account that the Sarissa is even larger than the Ranseur and like the 3rd largest battleship on the entire server.
Agility can't help you if you are still too fat.
The Sarissa needs to be either scaled down or buffed into the heavy bs class.

Sarissa and Ranseur is EXACT same size. NOW AND BEFORE....

I flew the Sarissa for about 1 1/2 year, logged some 3000+ hours on it, yeh, nearly half a year online ONE SHIP....

The sarissa, sucks unless you know HOW to use it. With the turret split its grown to be an incredibly weak ship. It has some good sides to it, it is agile, it was/is nearly as agile as the old ossie, despite being nearly twice the size in every way (fatter, longer, wider). It has a GREAT advantage that it do NOT get stuck in asteroid fields like ever.... But then theres the downside, much less hull, less guns, less power for the same size. I still think the sarissa looks better then the ranseur, both old and new, but that is a personal opinion that doesnt do much in a pvp setting.

The old sarissa was briliant though, with 3 cerbs, 9 basic primes and a mortar or two it could rival the firepower of a fully loaded OC prime dread. With said setup my CAU7 Sarissa could beat a CAU 8 dread in a brawl like 2/7 fights.... which is surprisingly good considering its the underdog in every aspect but agility.

The agility was GREAT in the old mod, because bombers would try snac you at 2-3k, which you could fairly easily avoid once you knew how to pilot that thing, now it dont matters since Nova's track and its no longer just 3 bombers at your ass, its most likely 13 of them....

BUT, if you want a great advice, the best ship outta them all is..... wait for it...... The Storta Destroyer.
WHY? Sure it cant tank as much BUT, it has a CD, it has a thruster, its hard to hit at a distance, its far more likely to kill a bomber then you are in a dread. It can kill legates all alone once you practice a little.

AND BEST OF ALL, people usually underestimate you and dont bother to call in the full gank force before you've killed half of the enemies.
