A Titan Zebu is in no way at all comparable to a Delquad or a Wattage wth you guys talking about. Oooh and tbh I'd rather even have a delquad then for example a Zeus Throne.
Noone here compares Delquad/Wattage to titan zebu xD and bout that ZT, your a sniper so capital ships have kinda no comparison to Delquad but w/e
What annoys me in Delquad is it's very low survivability compared to t20 sniper ships.
Jujusorka has 40% to most of damage types, uber 70% to laser damage which is one of Ai's favorite damage ( it also favors shoting from behind warps
since laser etheral attacks do much less damage)
It also has really decent reflectivity and vis + inbuilt 125 electricity.
Cost: ~8b ? Not sure whats the price atm.
Absentis also has 40% resists to most of damage, 50% to laser. Reflectivity is even lower than juju's, 125 inbuilt elec and nice inbuilt mods.
Cost: ~35b iirc
Both ships have 1 vulnerability. Medium-low resists and very low visibility so you can cover from shots. Also both have inbuilt cloaks.
Now lets look at Delquad of next tech generation, low tier.
Uber hull for loot, but 3 weap slots (same as Absentis with lower hull) won't
allow you to utilise it for taking additional weaponry, some goes for cloak (Cloaks give us some bonus but wont cover as well as inbuilt once, nevertheless its worth it imo)
Nice speed - its nice for faster travelling but it wont really help you when ai spot you.
Big size - 31% bigger than Juju and twice as big as Absentis - makes hiding behind warps and objects harder.
Resists: 35% to laser, lower than most of resists of Juju&Abs
20% to energy, ouch
One more 20% resist, then 3x 25% and one at 60% which is mining, mining is hardly ever used by ais tho so it doesnt save your ass often.
Now the part that hurts me the most in this ship.
Reflectivity and visibility.
Rougly 2,5 times more vis than Juju and Abs and 2,4 times more reflectivity. Kinda horrible for a sniper ship especially that most of dg gates are by the sun, so we are getting gang raped once we enter dg due to our low resists.
Vis won't cover our resists as it were in Juju and Abs so we are screwed if we won't PWI asap.
No Inbuilt electricity ,but -10% elec temp instead. Inbuilt elec was affected by augs tho and gave us decent regen boost.
Inbuilt mods are really lovely but they still don't make up for vulnerability to damage and high visbility.
Delquad got also inbuilt device, but I've got mixed feelings about it once again, it gives uber resists and shield regen boost for a few seconds, but at the same time it gives like 6 mil vis, using it anywhere close to ai is a suicide. We will see pretty volley of marbles flying our way just as the tweak ends, never the less it's nice if u use it reasonable.
Last Delquad's advantage is it being able to use t21 augs, Phobos or Deimos augs would cover vis and shield problem if only they wouldn't drain range/dps so much, we can use Marks. artemis aug but it's poor -20% vis is way to low to cover vis.
Cost: ~45b maybe a bit more if u have to buy BP.
tl;dr
Bright Red ship on the black background is not the way to go for a sniper.
