Test Driving the Jackdaw

So the new Caldari Tactical Cruiser appeared on SiSi yesterday. I jumped in one and took it for a spin.

Important Note - My Caldari Tactical Destroyer Skill (its not even called that yet! Still just an ID number) was only at 3 for these tests.

Other Important Note - I did these fits on the fly. I wouldn't recommend these. Just quick fits to see what the base stats you can get from the ship are.

So pics first.





Then onto the stats. I tried a 10mn rocket fit first.

5 T2 Rocket Launchers

10mn AB
Medium ASB
T2 EM Hardener
T2 Adaptive Hardener
X5 Web
T2 Scram

T2 Power Core
T2 BCU

EM Rig
Extender Rig
CPU Overclock Rig

Cap stable and a free utility high slot which I lacked PG and CPU for.

Defense Mode:-
Defence - 9000 EHP with 78/82/79/77 resists and a medium auxiliary shield booster.
Attack - 8.5km range on the Rage rockets doing 228dps
Speed - 990m/sec

Sharpshooter Mode:-
Defence - 6658 EHP with 67/73/69/65 resists and a medium auxiliary shield booster.
Attack - 14km range on the Rage rockets doing 228dps
Speed - 990m/sec

Propulsion Mode:-
Defence - 6658 EHP with 67/73/69/65 resists and a medium auxiliary shield booster.
Attack - 14km range on the Rage rockets doing 228dps
Speed - 1300m/sec

Against a BC rat it powered through without dropping below 85% shield in defensive mode.


Next I try a light missile fit:-

5 T2 Light Missile Launchers

1mn MWD
Medium ASB
T2 EM Hardener
T2 Adaptive Hardener
X5 Web
T2 Disruptor

T2 BCU
T2 Overdrive

EM Rig
Extender Rigs.
CPU Rig

Defense Mode:-
Defence - 9000 EHP with 78/82/79/77 resists and a medium auxiliary shield booster.
Attack - 31km range on the Rage missiles doing 185dps
Speed - 1585m/sec

Sharpshooter Mode:-
Defence - 6658 EHP with 67/73/69/65 resists and a medium auxiliary shield booster.
Attack -52km range on the Rage missiles doing 185dps
Speed - 1585m/sec

Propulsion
Defence - 6658EHP with 67/73/69/65  resists and a medium auxiliary shield booster.
Attack - 31km range on the Rage missiles doing 185dps
Speed - 2114m/sec

Whilst the 10mn Rocket fit is cap stable, the light missile has less than 2 minutes cap.

Compared to the first time I took out the Svipul and the Confessor (which admittedly have been nerfed recently) I'm not sure where the Jackdaw fits in. My rocket Corax has less EHP and slightly less range but higher DPS. I think I need to see how the level 5 skill works on the Jackdaw's stats! At level 3 I'm not impressed.

  1. Long time reader and wanted to test the new t3 just haven't had time one fit I've thought about but don't know cap times etc would be:

    t2 rockets (w/rage)
    meta 4 nos/neut (depending on cap should be stable w/nos)

    t2 1mn ab (slow but possibly not too terrible)
    meta scram
    2x meta web
    2x MASB

    t2 dcu
    t2 bcu

    As far as I can tell that would be tight for cpu ~99.5% so cant use missile rigs so prob 2x em and one other (prob an extender for me)

    Would use less fitting mods but is the lack of speed and possibly tank but better application is worth it? Not sure till I fly it ;)

    1. Extra day, my skills up to 3, Your fit 542m/sec up to 700 in prop mode, 7500 EHP in defensive 60/77/74/71 (I used 1 EM rig) and 241dps now with the neut. Would be good vs blaster AF's with those win webs

  2. Its the Gallente tactical destroyer that will be the interesting one.
