Miner hunting w/ SBs = Priceless

My vote goes to Belts. You just got to love a SB with boosters.

Rix? I loathe Rix in all their forms, so that option doesn't even get a glance. Killable station pods give me some justification.

Also if done right, you can have a base dead before anyone hears the "station at risk" warning. Nothing sucks more then hearing "XYZbase is under attack" but not getting a warning of which it is till its already down to half hull.

Even newbier, Rix have to go Exp for higher damage output AB weapons.

QUOTE I voted Rix of course, because while there is a possibility of solo'ing a techbase with a Rix SB, there is no possibility of solo'ing a techbase with any other SB given the same situation as you're facing in your Rix SB.[/quote]

I was within 0.1 seconds of soloing a techbase (IC or GT) whilst in a belter sb before. It was 10v10. A combanation of coming at the base from the right angle, boosting and hvy cloak 1 nearly did the trick. I can't remember what ab missile I had, or what kb I had, but it was 6 missiles to kill it.

I'm referring to SB's using Station Drone 2, while other factions (sans TF) need a Supremacy for AB2-3.

A lot of the arguments against Rix seem to be assuming that there is only 1 SB against your techbase.

No, a Rix SB can't usually solo a defended techbase. I agree with that firmly.

But you need at least one competent defender, already launched, per SB, to shoot down the drones. This is a much higher ratio than other SBs.

On the other hand, I have actually solo'ed techbases with Rix SBs!

What I mean to say is, if another SB can solo a techbase, a Rix one would almost certainly do it a lot better.
