With the newly-improved Maneuvering Jets, the Eagle is really something (it's a close call whether the Eagle or Dominator is my favorite cruiser).
With all its forward-focused weapons, you can unleash a massive amount of firepower and pinpoint it on one location, easily cutting through armor. That said, what loadouts are you guys using?
Here's mine:
2x HVD, on left & right ballistic hardpoints
3x Phase Beam
5x Burst PD, three on front and two in rear
And ITU.
Middle ballistic hardpoint empty, two small missile slots empty. All extra points into vents.
I find it works very well at overloading and disarming ships with all the EMP damage, and the rest of my fleet can then unload missiles to quickly cut down the armor. The three Phase Beams work well in a pinch too, seeing as they do energy damage.
I've been experimenting with filling the front middle ballistic slot and removing the two rear Burst PD, but then flux balance and Salamanders become much more of an annoyance, respectively.
Thoughts?
