I have to disagree abou the targeting computer not being usefull early game. Youy only have a small handfull of ships, the TC ups dmg and causes you to less of them. Not saying that its not MORE usefull lategame, but so is just about any cap ship ability. (passive)

im sorry, i mistyped, the evacuator has more damage, hp, and shields and a skill that is actually useful against militia, the only disadvantage it has is that it is even slower than the akkan, but that doesnt matter since it can actually KILL its foes (unlike the akkan)

That's why I like it for the early game. A levelled nano dissassembler is a very potent weapon in the small-scale early engagements, because it strips a lot of armor and also does a nice bit of guaranteed damage, which can help it fend for itself better than the akkan. It's a small enough ability later on that it can go unnoticed, but definitely helps it considerably in the early game. Also, it has a bit of punch, so you aren't wasting the flagship bonuses as much as you would be on an akkan.

EDIT:


You must have missed the other one of the Evacuator's abilities, gravity warhead, which "slows the movement of targeted enemy ships and prevents them from entering phase space." Combined with the nano-dissassembler, the jarrasul comes with better abilities for assassination than the akkan.

meh, its like phase out hull but it lets you attack the ship while frozen

*shrug*

well that sounds better I guess. but still 1) its an eclectic usage, and 2) trapping a dissabled ship is much better than trapping it with frigates that will defend it.

eets if you only turn and run when you're garunteed a loss, you need to rethink your strategy. sometimes you pull back due to risk, or because you *could* take out the enemy cap, but you dont want to risk it

frankly when it comes down to it a level 3 anything will crush an akkan unless it has a massive numerical advantage OR ion bolt, the evacuator can hold its own for a little while, but nonetheless will get danced all over. even if your enemy does lose his cap.

I mean the eclectic usage would be getting lucky enough to get frigates trapped with the cap, usually theres a large margin between the two.


its a moot point, ion bolt is still better.
