prophecies are great bricks and i loved flying them. the problem i had with them was their speed. theyre slow as balls and if you dont have people tackling for you, youre not going to hold anything unless theyre stupid enough to come that close.
HAM damnations fall under the same problem that prophecies do. they ahve an amazing tank, but they dont have the speed so catching up to anything to apply ham dps is just a lot of sadface.

and lords, those mach fleets would indeed be ultimate homedefense. the only thing is that i live in null and theyre a bit too expensive for me to just fly around willy nilly :P

I mostly day trip into WHs and the lack of local still gives me the heeby jeebies :P
