CRB 20: 350 engine max at 113KPH (before speed tweak) and 5 MPL
CRB 27: 2 AMS and 5 MPL and can zombie
CRB 27SL: Can take Jump Jets
CRB 27B: 6 Energy points

I don't know the quirks on them and I'm not going to bother looking them up.


I often take a 12 man team of CRB 27 into group queue and 24 AMS means no missiles can get us as we cross over on Polar and dive the enemy.

In scouting I take a CRB 20 with an XL 350 and 5 MPL and try to chase down anything that is trying to kite us.


Though the 27B is pretty awesome.


The CRBs with the 3 hard points in the center (1 Head + 2 CT) can take a low standard engine and zombie.

Crabs are good, its hard to choose a favourite.

i like the 27 for twin AMS, can be rather useful.

The 27sl is great as well, jj are fun. i run mine with 4 MLs and a HPPC, 3 JJ and a light 310, with spd twk it hits 108kph, good fun.

Finally i quite like the Florentine, im running 2 ERML, 2 RAC/2 and 2 RL10 with a light 245, only hits 85 my slowest crab.

I couldn't find a build that worked on the Florentine, so I went full derp - 2 LB2X, 2 ERSL, 2 RL10, LAMS, XL325

It's terrible

FLORENTINE

Could try something like this. Go a little slower and take two MRM30s or switch that LFE for a XL and go faster or maybe fit a couple lasers on.

Florentine is the worst of the crabs and is one of the most lack luster mediums in the game.

I struggled with my Florentine when I first got it. I went through a number of builds before I found one that worked for me. 2 medium pulse lasers, 2 srm 4, and a lbx 5 on a XL300. It sounds underwhelming, but it works. Low face time and great heat management coupled with crab hitboxes and good speed make this thing work. It is my second favorite Crab.

Went MRM 40 & 2 ERMeds on mine. Didn't even bother with an LFE, just plopped a standard in it. An MRM build is really the only thing that seemed to work for me. The 1st launcher is SUPER high mounted, 2nd launcher is about cockpit level? Makes peeking with MRMs actually decent. But the thing is overall garbage; never bothered to master mine.
