Setting up my first 6-7box, suggestions/thoughts/advice?

The tackler would be for your "future endeavors". You could use him for DPS in the meantime.

Yea my current issue at the moment is figuring out what my "Dps" will actually be. I found that Abaddon's are much MUCH more dps (900+) with just pulsers alone. The problem is that everyone keeps harping on Amarr being only a singular Damage Type capable race. So even though their guns can touch upwards of 900-1000 with Large Mega Pulse II's on an Abaddon they're still sup-par dps compared to anything caldari that can change dmg type missiles.


My issue, again, is that overall I don't believe their dps to be THAT much more superior vs Amarr if even i'm fighting heavy resistance rats.


So right now I'm stuck between going Amarr or Caldari. It wouldn't be an issue, as much, if I were fighting between two different races of the same tank type (ie: amarr/gallente or caldari/min). However, whichever path I choose I cannot stray from without adding another 30++ days of train time for a shield or armor logi.

That, and gunnery skills won't help me with missiles so .


My question is, are 900+ dps (before drones) MegaPulse II Abaddon's that have a min/max range of 0 -> 83km, or even though Caldari are sup-par horrid damage the 600ish dps a Raven (before drones) or the "meh" Tengus are better in your opinion?

I haven't played in such a long time that things have changed in terms of how things work on the PVE side of things. My hardest issue is choosing a path that won't have be regretting dumping months of train time into the wrong path.


Hence my EvE frustration


Right now I have my new guys training their sub-skills required for anything I choose (like Weapon Upgrades, Energy Grid Upgrades, etc etc), however in a week or two I'll hit that stage of training where I have to choose a path :/.

If i choose Amarr I take my Logi guys down towards a guardian, but if I choose Caldari my logi guys go towards the shield logi :].


Not to mention Fury Heavy Missiles are expensive fired from 4-5 toons at once :P.
