Choosing between two cruisers.. - Sand_Spider - 02-23-2008
I am currently deciding on whether I should get a Talarca light cruiser, or a Blood Dragon Cruiser.
Some things to think about:
Talarca has 8 turrets, while BD cruiser has 7.
BD cruiser has forward cannon.
BD cruiser has more armor.
Talarca is cheaper.
Talarca has a somewhat slimmer profile, except for the thin wings sticking out.
I am not really concerned about price, so I am thinking on buying a BD cruiser. But.. I have heard forward cannons are useless, and if so, then an extra turret would be better, what do you think?
This question mainly goes to any NovaPG members, but anyone is allowed to reply.

A bomber.
BD Cruiser.:P
Foreword guns are pretty good against other caps.

The froward gun of the BD Cruiser has a small arc, while the on the Liberty Cruiser it has not, so it is a tad more useful. The forward gun is dealing more shield damage than the the Cruiser Inferno. So if you mount a Inferno on the Talarca you will have left 7 turret mounts to.

The main difference is the talarca manuavers like a large gunboat, and the BD cruiser has a kick-tail gun.

Allow me to tell you an insane Talarca Loadout.
Get it suited up and ready, mount 4 Cruiser Infernos and 4 Cruiser Razors. Set Infernos to wep group 1, Razors to wep group 2. Alternate wep groups when appropriate.
You will pawn all...The talarca is probably one of the most maneuverable cruisers out there. Combine with EK, and you get an exceptionally devastating ship.
