Eagle was/is a great ship, but can't take a hit at all. The imperial eagle is a worthy successor to the regular Eagle. Tougher and hits harder, faster, but you lose some manoeuvrability.

I just went back to the sidey on a second login while I sat out the shockwaves of "explorergate". It was great fun and it still sounds brilliant.

Don't diss the sidey. It's like your first car, probably a bit crap compared to what you drive now, but you still have a soft spot for it. I bet you can even remember its registration number...

Ran into Dudley last night in Azrael and showed off in my Imperial Eagle. He park his Python and brought out his Imperial Courier.

After teaming up at the nav beacon so I could get 2 kills and christen the Eagle, I think he said he was going over to Gende to get one. ;) I wish I got Commission.

Currently I am using a Gimbal Beam on the Medium and Gimbal Multis on the Smalls. One one utility mount makes it a little rough, but I went chaff. So in order to make some coin I need to Wing up with someone whom has a KWS if I am going for bounties. In a CZ its not an issue. I also went witha A2 scoop and dropped in a second 2T fuel tank to make it easier to get places.

Build is here.

We actually talked about you last night. I think it went something like this:

"Go Get one and we will sneak up on Kharma and Kill scare him!"

Nice, my build is similar, but I have shield booster and hull re-enforcement
