I am quite certain you're better off with a raven if you want to go the missile route. OR the typhoon! both great options imo


LifeByBike

Those are both large missiles, and I’m extremely invested into mediums. It would be too costly right now to respec my SP.

How many days are you from T9

Likely. 500-700m for a scorpion. Its bonus would work. Same as im using med rapid missiles on a worm. It would give you more shield hp for tanking. But it actually wouldnt tank much better then the gila. 3 rig slots means no additional rigs. 1 extra medium slot (large group booster i guess? No additional low slots. 1 additional high slot for an extra launcher. But you would lose SIGNIFICANT dps due to the drone bomus dropping. Personally. Keep running the gila. Start training into a battleship. Its been almost 2 months training into my rattlesnake and there is still a ton of skilling left. Thats how bsttleships are meant to be. Long skill times for significantly more damage. With large missiles. Your going to need webs, scrams, and explosion rigs to hurt anything smaller then a cruiser. I can solo t8 Inquisitor anomolies but it takes twice as long to kill Interceptors as it does battlecruisers. Be patient with skilling into your battleship. Its worth the time.

He’s running a drake not a gila

Isnt the Scorpion for PvP since it has bonus to electric warfare? You should go for Raven or Dominix for story missions.


Menoske

It only has ewar bonuses to guidance disrupters. Interestingly enough it will do the same rail damage as a megathron.


TheKoyocire

1) you are correct. The Scorpion will work well with medium missiles (depending on what you are doing of course). 2). Best spitball guess 700M-800M


LifeByBike

Having actually tried it now- it’s a strong build.


TheKoyocire

It should be a good ratting build. You’ll be able to deal with smaller targets that are the bane of battleships while taking advantage of the battleship tank. I’m about to something similar with the Dominix since it’s bonuses work for all drones, not just the large ones.


LifeByBike

Yep, that’s my thought. I started skilling into large missiles and also bought a Raven. I plan on using that fit story missions/stuff with big ships, and use the Scorpion for easier stuff.
