EVE Online: The Raw Power of the Harbinger

Stradden

MMORPG.com EVE Online Correspondent Andrew Wallace writes this overview of the Harbinger warship and the best way to get the msot bang for your buck out of this vessel.

This is a story of a boy and his Harbinger, and possibly damage dealing setups. One of the fierce tier two battle cruisers, the Harbinger, is utterly Amarrian; a golden beast of a ship, with enough turret slots for a rack of seven lasers and space in the lows to fit damage boosting modules, as well as a bit of a tank.

I've flown this ship since its release in the Revelations update at the end of 2006, and I adore it. There is nothing I enjoy more than dropping out of warp and unleashing incandescent streams of laser death onto the enemy fleet. The damage potential of this ship is fairly disgusting and squeezing as much firepower out of it became something of an obsession as I started to perfect my gunnery skills; which leads me to the main thrust of this article: damage! So, despite me harping on about golden ships and lasers, this is a general article on getting the most firepower out of your damage ship, if you like that sort of thing.

Read the EVE Online article.

Mmmmmm, violence.

 

An odd choice for an article, but an interesting read nontheless . I myself enjoy flying Battleships and carriers with setups I spends months perfecting .

Gallente HAC for me but i do miss when i used to fly Amarr, you have made me whimsical for the old days, i must really bring my self up to speed on Amarr ships, nice article and now i realise why my Amarr ships couldn't hit the board side of a barn, i was going for range ( lol drones make life SOOOOO much easier).

After I finish training for my Carrier I'm going to start to cross train into Amarr. Gotta love their ships (even before the buff), who doesn't love seeing the golden fleets that CVA brings.

As for battlecruisers, my top choice is the Hurricane. You can't beat the damage and tanking abilities the thing can spew out. It can even make for a mid range sniper (with the right skills you can get about 80km optimals), an excellent fleet support ship. I've even seen nano fittings, although I haven't tried it myself, which some people have used to great success. Just with they would buff arties, god I hate them. Hell buff Minmatar in general :P (lawls Nag).
