Sunesis: anything good about it?

We have this ship for long time. I haven’t seen it in 0.0 where i live. Haven’t met it in low-sec when i visit it.

Any good pvp fits for it? Is it good for pvp at all?

ill be honest ive only seen 1 person flying it around in high sec.

Bought one, fitted it… used it against some anoms. It works, but it flat out doesn’t have the damage you’d expect from a destroyer.

I’d have to say while it might make a quirky scan ship the price tag attached pretty much means you’d either be better off going entirely to a spec ops or astero or just sticking with the cheap as chips t1 scan frigs.

Basically it cannot deal competitive damage and it isn’t reasonable isk for scanning against the benefits of a covert cloak or just being instantly replaceable for under five mil.

It actually makes a fairly decent scram-kiting destroyer with a 10MN Afterburner equipped to it:

Co-Processor II

Warp Scrambler II

Small Processor Overclocking Unit I
Small Ancillary Current Router I
Small Core Defense Field Extender II

Hobgoblin II x4

Hail S x720

Or you can always run it with blasters and a MWD with slightly more DPS/tank:

[Sunesis, *5MN MWD Blaster]
Damage Control II
400mm Rolled Tungsten Compact Plates
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Adaptive Nano Plating II

Faint Epsilon Scoped Warp Scrambler
Small Compact Pb-Acid Cap Battery
5MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive
X5 Enduring Stasis Webifier

Small Knave Scoped Energy Nosferatu
Light Electron Blaster II

So basically brawling.

Not PvP, but it makes for an excellent hauler/salvager, especially in Anoikis. Largest cargo space (>2600mˆ3) of all destroyers with a proper fit. Not many tractors/salvagers possible, but 4 salvager drones. Scan bonus.
Agile, but slow as hell.

I use mine for transporting stuff. Its pretty fast

Too rich for my blood to just do salvaging… If I’m gonna spend that much, I would probably just fly a Noctis.

I’m stuck as an alpha for the time being and just use a catalyst and atron and I very satisfied.

Show me your Noctis with 2s align time.

It looks intimidating. There’s that.

It’s a cheap Astero. Because of its scanning bonus, you can use it to scan down hacking sites and intimidate other explorers. Dunno if you can actually catch an explorer in it, though.

High agility. Thats why an oversize prop setup makes sense
