what ships to re?

BW`s is the answer. But i would go with Thor or Zeus as the third terran. No retal missles with long range. People like those fens....I`m OK with `em, but not worshipping them as most. And Nirv`s are a strong terran ship, but easily matched by other ships.

take it for whatever my two cents is worth. Which would be...ummm...two cents. <shrug>

lyth isnt essential. i went with BW`s formula for the most part:

herc tyr thor
pyth pike shark
arag chlor chorite

with herc, tyr, thor, you are packing plenty of missile heat. but to be safe, i went with chlorite, which is every bit as potent as the pike (no ret, 9 range, good ratios) and also missile. packing all that missile, tiger seemed overkill, so i went with shark. shark/chlor make great top stacks. waaay better than fodders

BW`s post is the one to select "this is the answer"

i like:

herc
thor
fenrir

pyth
pike
tiger

lyth
chlorite
arag

combine those with king/queen + borr/cronus you will have 9 moderatly high range no retal ships, then you can slap a herc or lyth somewhere in there > hit everything on aggressive

its mighty good fun

Pyth, Pike, (Tiger, Barracuda, Shark) <- Depends upon the role you need shark is to soak up damage tiger missile boat and barracuda extra no retal flanking

Herc, Tyr, (Nirv. Fenrir, Thor, Guarda) <- Again just take which fits best for your style..

Lyth, (Flysch. Aragonite), (Epi, Chlorite, Chlor) <- Arago is generally a less picked capital but personally i prefer it over Flysch.. for the third set just go with what fits what you need/how you stack best.

if you have any questions about what i said or about virals in general feel free to pm me directly im more then happy to help
