Moa

This ships falls under the Blanket Reimbursement Policy

Overview


In a class that's notable for offering a large number of relatively fragile shield ships, the Moa stands apart as the only shield tanker to realistically compare with its armour brethren in terms of durability. On the surface, it shares a lot with its Amarr cousin. For a start, its bonuses to shield resists and hybrid turret damage seem oddly familiar, as does its offensive complement of five turrets and 15m3 worth of drones. Ostensibly then, it's easy to assume that the Moa is mainly about tank. You know what they say about assumptions.

Ship Description

The Moa was designed as an all-out combat ship, and its heavy armament allows the Moa to tackle almost anything that floats in space. In contrast to its nemesis the Thorax, the Moa is most effective at long range where its railguns can rain death upon foes.

This is pretty expensive and inferior in all ways to a Drake, except that Drakes are always bait. Also, with a bit of twiddling, you can swap your low slots for a Damage Control and Magnetic Stabilizer and get more DPS, but it's really not worth it. You don't have the Powergrid for a heavy tackler unless you downgrade to ion blasters.

You are bait; you stand there, pointing something, until someone else can jump in. If it's an interceptor, you're probably screwed, but if they get in range (assuming aggression), scram and web them and wait for people to get you. Against a battleship, point them and orbit them at 500 metres with your afterburner on. Though you have an increased sig radius, this will allow you to speed tank them. Do not fit a MicroWarpprive unless you can warp/jump to them at 0, and even then it's probably not worth it. Most importantly, the point is the last thing to go in. You are bait, you will die, you just need to keep them pointed until your buddies arrive.

This is, in addition to a LOLWUT fit, an excellent setup for catching assault frigates, Dramiels, and the like. Nobody ever expects an armor-tanked Moa that can do damage. It will not, however, last long against anything larger than a destroyer.
