Flying A Shock Ship In SIRIUS ?

[Default]

Most people is sirius who don't have a sirius ship , either fly:

Snipers: (bored of seeing these ^^ ) - even though most complain about it's BAD armor, SIRIUS is filled with these "bugs".

Engineers: (mostly R85's with full sirius tech)

Defenders: (even though a rare ship, most clans have at least 2-3 of them in hangar) - good thing they are not that rare in SIRIUS after all.

Tanks: (best choice for "lone wolves" who want to kill some mantis and live to tell the tale) - even though i don't see many of them in sirius.

Storms [Anin-12 Parsec does not count]: (haven't seen any flying around since i came in sirius ) - good overall ship.

Shocks [Anin-10 Terrorizer does count] : WHERE ARE THE SHOCKS

Any pilots that fly a shock as a sirius ship?
Any advantages, disadvantages that you are aware of?

PS: Not "Armor too low for sirius" statements. Snipers have low armor as well but sirius is full of these.

I like the Engi class best, tank is a neet ship, but can't compare to a myst, so u get the point why I do not have 1 . Storm got to weak armor, but a good ship for pve when a engineer is around, and in pvp, if the rocket hits crit you're dead meat xD

All ships are good when an engi is around lol!
Storm armor is good enough. It's just that it has a long cooldown compared to a sniper (probably the only reason it got replaced from snipers), so you pod before it's rockets "reload" so you can use them again and turn enemies to pork chops .

The question is though.: Why shocks are even more rare than mysts?! PvE wise they are better than a tank if you use your "skills" right. I have even grinded for cryo with a stun and got more cryo than with tank.

Mi Clan's Admiral, was flying with Draconis Mantis Shock (when he hasn't the Ancient Ship equiped).

Disadvantages: low damage
Advantages: Aggro Beacons maintain mantis away while killing Big Green Ships, Stun Domes allow you to escape from npc's without using Afterburner.

But I think shock acts as support ship, distracting npc's and slowing them.

stuns doesn't work well on bosses...

Disadvantages: low damage

The "low damage" part. In theory a shock does more damage overtime than a tank, engi and even storm (only when thermo and/or rockets reload) when using speed actuator. 1 storm rocket equals 2 blaster shots when buff from aim comp isn't working. So theoretically a shock does more damage than a storm that has secondary weaponry on cooldown [rockets included]. Adding the fact that in sirius someone is rarely soloing Rings 4 & 5 in a drac ship, then the shock has decent squadron capabilities making it a good ship with a little skill from its pilot.

In the same conditions a shock does not take the aggro from npc's so it does not more damage than attack ship class, you can only use speed actuator and blaster shots, perhaps it's faster and do more damage if the other ships only use blasters, but we must consider that sorms can shoot rockets, use aim and use thermo, as shock uses speed actuator, and stuns.

Despite the low damage, shocks can survive more than any other class ship. ^^ Even though doing less damage..
