Since nobody else seems to have mentioned it: 0:15 that's the weight of the Soviet artillery piece used to fire their 280mm shell, not the weight of the munition. The shell "only" weighed 246kg. A 650mm shell would probably weigh about 10 times that (because if you double the diameter you octuple the volume).

[@militarymoose87]

I love it when you put out a video, and I can just hear the ear to ear grin you have on your face while recording. I'm glad to see more ship fitting and application guides. Those always seem like they have been your passion point. See you in space.

[@captainbenzie]

Glad you enjoy it! And yeah, it feels so much better making EO.content. I feel happy and content again 🙂

Pretty new to the game and was love at first sight for this ship. Been working my way to it and now a video on it? Great day over here!

[@captainbenzie]

Hope you enjoy it, it's absolutely one of my fave ships both visually and in practicality too.

[@teutonicknightmare]

Minmatar pilot here - I am also addicted to artillery fits for combat sites and ratting (being an alpha clone for now really hurts to not have an MJD D:). My favorite part is being 60-100km away in my Maelstrom or Tornado, leaving my turrets ungrouped, and just pressing F1, F2, F3....until everything blinks off my overview

[@captainbenzie]

Lmao that alpha damage is FUN!!

[@havocnchoas]

Great video Captain! I was looking for this one yesterday, because you mentioned it in your MTU vid 😆. Happy to see you enjoying the hurricane again!

Hey brother, I'm just now coming back to the game as long time minmatar flyer! I haven't played since 2014 and I've forgotten everything literally lol. I remember flying the hurricane a lot and your video is like making me learn to ride the bicycle again, thanks thumbs up!

Haha thank you 😁

[@dahunlee_acousticguitar_covers]

"In rust we trust" hehe on a more serious note though, I would recommend messing around with abyssal modifications for the shield extenders (and gyros/afterburner too, if you want to min/max); you can add a good chunk of hp, dmg and speed that way for reasonably cheap. One high slot that could maybe work might be a drone upgrade (I think there's one that extends the max range, but it's been awhile since I used them). I used to really dig the hurricane but then spent too long in a tengu, and now switched to a legion lol. Too many fun ships to fly imho.

[@captainbenzie]

I'm a Tengu pilot on my main, and this guy is now also flying a Cannon Loki. But I will always have a soft spot for the Cane!

[@Caladonian_1st]

Good stuff Benzie! Can’t wait to join EO and start working towards a Cane myself. Gonna be a few months till I have the setup. I REALLY like that passive tank ability something EE hasn’t matched.

[@captainbenzie]

I hope you enjoy it when you reach it! The Cane is awesome, and yeah, I love Passive Shield Tank!

[@OrionIcaoa]

I wanted to fly a hurricane but was too torn between the autocannons or the artillery and ended up flying a scorpion for a while before dropping back down to a Drake/Moa and it’s been a fun change of pace to do L3 missions in between doing T0 abyss with my polarized kestrel. I’m looking to upgrade to a drake navy issue soon but it’s way too overkill for what I do. I one shot most frigates and destroyers, 2 shot cruisers, 3/4 shot battle cruisers and battleships are just a tankfest xD it’s been super fun!

[@captainbenzie]

Lmao sounds beast!!

[@refineme]

Get into a Tengu, you won’t regret it. Been my daily all purpose for over a decade. All T3s are super fun ships.

[@MaestroKaestro]

Benzie i much prefer you talk about EO then EE, can tell you enjoy it more and honestly im thinking about testing it out with an alpha clone and would love you making a starter guide like u did for EE

[@captainbenzie]

Honestly, I've been having much more fun with EO content lately. As for Starter Guide Content, absolutely have been! Head to my main page (KZbin.com/c/CaptainBenzie) and you'll see "EVE Online Catskull Academy" there 😊

[@SchwartzBOSS]

Cool guide for a solid ship!

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you, the Hurricane is my favourite ship so there's more to come!

[@rasyid010]

Hurricane is one the best looking ship in EO. No it's the best. It's similar with Republic and Empire ship in Star Wars.

[@captainbenzie]

Absolutely agree that it's amongst the best looking! I think some of the Edencom and Triglavians come close (Kikimora and Thunderchild etc) but factoring in cost, power, versatility etc... The Cane wins!

[@mpfeil8484]

Wish you put the fit in description so I can copy it lol

[@grenvallion]

I'm watching your EO stuff just because they're entertaining. Most of the stuff I know but some things I may not so worth watching anyway. One thing I think you should do a video on is the overview settings. You're using the Eve University overview, and I think that would be helpful for newer players because it duffers greatly to what they see.

[@captainbenzie]

I'm actually using the Signal Cartel one, but yes, I do need to do an Overview video 😅 I'm glad you're enjoying and I hope I can help somehow!

[@grenvallion]

@@captainbenzie ah fair enough. It does look similar. Though I guess it's just a good setup in general. Overview is love. Overview is life.

[@captainbenzie]

Excellent ship!

[@timothyv4887]

I’m pretty new to Eve Online, but I’m interested in the possibilities of joining factional warfare to train my combat skills. Would this be interesting for you to make a video about? Or is it really advanced for beginners?

[@captainbenzie]

PvP is always fairly advanced because you're going up against players who know their ships well. I strongly suggest getting a feel for your ships capabilities in PvE, then trying PvP after that. That's basically why I've not covered PvP yet, as I feel there's basics that need covering first.

[@truedarkmasta8015]

It is good idea to start factional warfare. As soon as you join that way of being in Eve as soon you find a social part of that game. Also, you will be surprised with your knowledge burst of Eve ships abilities and piloting skills. In a month of active factional warfare you will look at so named “pve-players” like at vegetables. Try your best. Don't listen to hisec crabs.

[@Rai2M]

I used to fly 650mm arti passive cane back in 2010 and i loved that ship ) Great for missions etc. But... after that i switched to Machariels/Vargurs for pve and missile boats for pvp ) hint: don't fly this cane in low/null sec ) It's gonna die horribly )

[@captainbenzie]

Yup, it's a Hisec mission runner for sure and training towards a Vargur on this alt for C5s!

[@archaprime5439]

Hey man, new player here, questions for you, 1 How often do you run into issues with vessels at a close range orbiting you etc, could I counteract this by having 2 auto cannons and 4 arty turrets? and what is that shield module you have there at the top that's glowing orange?

[@captainbenzie]

Ahoy there! Honestly, if you're splitting your weapons like that, you're making a ship that doesn't excel at anything, and suffers because of it. A better approach is to understand the ship and your opposition. You have long range weaponry. The advantage is the range and the amount of damage it does per hit. The downside is tracking. But the further away something is, the slower it's traversal velocity. Imagine standing at a roadside looking out across a road, beyond which is a field, beyond which is another road. If two cars drive along those roads at the same speed, the closest one shoots by really quickly. The one in the distance seems to move much slower. As such, you use target priority. Shoot the frigates first before they get too close. If they do get close, your drones will finish them off, it just takes a while and slows down your clear time. The orange shield module is a "Multispectrum Shield Hardener". When activated, it uses a small amount of capacitor to increase all of your shield resistances, reducing the damage that you take.

[@archaprime5439]

@@captainbenzie Appreciate you brother, I followed your build to a T, absolutely gobsmacked at the damage I'm dishing out, I'm an Artillery Marine in real life so my fascination with artillery goes very deep but wasn't expecting it to be this fun. Also saw that you're living in Zim, I grew up in South Africa myself, lived for a while in Limpopo Province right next to you there so, hope all is well down there. Was also wondering if you plan to do a video on the tempest?

[@Chazie_]

Cool I’m gonna give the cane’ a try I’ve never flown one , how does it compare to the drake In your opinion? o7

[@captainbenzie]

I'm a filthy casual Drake enjoyer, definitely an excellent ship. As for comparisons, I genuinely couldn't give one. I love them both...

[@gogereaver349]

minitar alpha strike is just nasty. but can be a problem if people get uder the guns. missles dont suffer from that but can be outrun by some ships.

[@CBlyat]

Salvager in the middle slot for heat sink no? Does heat wrap? My understanding is no. Also, why not a meta 4 shield extender instead of a "1"? Too expensive maybe, or does it just lower the fit req. and not the shield amount, idk. Think it's an F-S9 for the medium at least

[@captainbenzie]

I basically fit using what I had lying around or was very cheap nearby. Yeah, a Large Regolith isn't much more but this is what I had. Same with the Multispectrum. As for the Salvager going in the middle for overheating, this is only for L3s. I've never had to overheat anything and doing so may speed things up but also reduces profit due to repairs/nanite paste costs.

[@555edu555]

Benzie, is EO insurance worth? I ask because compared to EE it looks like it doesn't help at all, only getting a part of the ship's value IF you looses it in a time period...

[@captainbenzie]

It's different. Having that amount back can really help, but it keeps things very much in industry's hands for ship building.

[@PlayerSalt]

the shield extender bonus battleships have now is fairly recent, honestly i find myself either running a destroyer cruiser or battleship now, as my skills are pretty good im liking destroyers more and more every day and yeah all the battleships are amazing now , battlecruisers im not too interested in anymore

[@captainbenzie]

Definitely valid points and I'll gladly agree that Battlecruisers fill a shrinking niche... Most use them simply as a stepping stone whilst training to BS or above. That said, I will ALWAYS love the Cane. Even if it's not amongst the most lucrative, to me, it will always be amongst the most fun!

[@bradleyjohannson2075]

@@captainbenzie BCs are great in PvP my friend, both T1/faction versions and the command ships are a great balance between DPS, movement and tank.

is artillery just always better than autocannons or am i too new for this

Nah, Autocannons are amazing too, just because this is a passive shield fit, the range helps reduce incoming damage for a nice chill experience. Brawling with Autocannons usually requires a more aggressive tank but makes for a powerful damage dealer!

@@captainbenzie thanks. if you dont mind me asking, what do you mean by more agressive tank, like an armor tank or something?

Hurricane doesn't really have the structure for that 😅

[@Wyrsa]

The Hurricane is the best BC in Eve. But to be fair lets look at the other contenders. Is it Caldari? The Drake? FFS NO! Absolutely not. Ferox? No that ones just the coolest not best. Is it Gallente? No, just no, I'm not going to even bother. Amarr? The Prohecy is cool but its a drone boat so it can't be, and the Omen is a good candidate for worst BC. None of the mini battleships count, (i still think of them as the T3 battlecruisers) as they are, well, mini battleships. (Though i will admit that the T3s have the most in common with irl BC theory)

[@captainbenzie]

By T3s you mean the Attack Battlecruisers like the Tornado and Oracle? Drake is amazing for it's tank potential but the Hurricane is right up there on damage output and versatility.

with 5.6 million sps you shouldnt be anywhere near a bc lol but thats just my opinion

[@captainbenzie]

Why not? One of the joys of EVE is that you can absolutely specialise your skills and focus purely on what you want to achieve. I had no desire for other stuff on route, and as an experienced player I knew precisely where to place the SP. I'm also only running L3s in Hisec, you don't need deep, varied skills
