Cheapfleet Challenge Winners!

Category Winners:

Best E-War
Winner is ... FNG's Crucifier
I like that this is a really cheap ship that just wreaks havok on an enemy. Two or even three Harbingers/Hurricanes just get totally messed up with this setup.

Warrior I x1

Best Tackler
Winner is ... Uma Uma's PoorMan's Zoomboat (Vigil)
You gotta love the speed. And the Dual prop fit is a nice touch. It should be able to keep under the guns of most larger ships.

Best Gank
Winner is ... Borgel Slydaeus' Incursus
Really the only entry that could be considered for this category. However, getting a cheapfleet frigate over 100 dps + tackle and speed to get in range is pure win.

Best ship to bring to a fleet
Winner is ... FNG's Crucifier
As a sometime gang leader, this is the sort of ship you love when new players come along. Cheap ship with low skills trashing the effectiveness of up to three enemy ships. Gotta love it!

(see best e-war for the fit)

Best ship for solo work
Winner is ... Zamemee's Old School Punisher
Hard category to judge since so many entries. However with a big buffer tank combined with a good active tank and decent DPS, this is the ship I would place my bets on.

Grand Prize

As for the grand prize ....
It comes down to two ships, the Old School Punisher and the FNG's Crucifier. One ship excels at solo work, the other is exactly the sort of ship that should be brought by new characters to a fleet. Perhaps I should retrack my statements in the past that new players should choose Minmattar.

The Winner is ... FNG's Crucifier
I just like this ship. Super easy to fit. This is the sort of ship that would make a great introduction to faction warfare, or joining up with a pirate gang. Vagabonds and Hurricane's beware, their fleet has a Crucifier.

Congrats to the winners, prizes should have been awarded by now. Thanks to all who participated.
