With the right setup, even a slow boating cruiser can eat anything, I fly a Tal Shiar Adapted Battlecruiser on my TAC and I wont fly anything else really (save a Vesta) There are alot of ppl who say Tac in escort, engi in cruiser, sci in sci... I say open your mind.... It comes down to fly what you like, your play style is…
I used to fly Vesta (tac) exclusively, wonderful ship, able to do crazy things... I do think cryptic should add AUX rear weapons tho... would be a unique but interesting addition to a great ship
