Shield+MWD means your sig is going to be massive when you're burning in so be aware of that. Avoid fighting anything that would fit a scram cause it would shut down your mwd and leave you at the mercy of whoever is scramming. Be prepared to get shitfucked by 10 dudes at a time when you're just solo roaming in low/nullsec but don't let it discourage you. I was on a small roam in catch yesterday and we got baited by a falcon and dropped on by like 10 frigates and when we tried to leave they had bubbled all the exit gates to the system at 80km and forced an engagement. with a falcon. we didn't even get to shoot anything. gently caress catch.

If you really want some PvP grab a nimble cruiser, destroyer, or some sort of combat frigate. Get a small anchorable bubble and set up a drag 100km off a gate that is out of scan range, wait above it at a perch and mash dscan when someone shows up in local, if you can take it warp down and wait for them, if not warp to a safe. When you test your bubble in warp from the other gate drop a can with 1 ammo in it to decloak people who get stuck in the bubble. This way you get to decide what you fight as opposed to hoping you don't get face hosed. Most of this stuff is pretty cheap, just make sure the cargo hold of the ship you want to use can hold the bubble and enough ammo. Gorn has a pretty great how to guide for this stuff if you are in GSF.

The bubble thing also lets you dictate the range at which the engagement takes place and go all-in on gimmicky fits that you would never loving use if you were just cruising around renter space looking for trouble. If you pick a ship purpose-built for skullfucking things that land at zero on its bubble you can have a very solid edge over whatever poor schmucks get caught, especially since a lot of popular roaming ships rely on maintaining distance to survive. A Cynabal running free is deadlyto frigates, but a Cynabal that starts the fight hard tackled at 1,000 meters by an afterburning assault frigate is about to have a very bad time.

So my secret santa wants an onyx. Knowing that the true spirit of goonsmas isn't just looking up a fit and buying a ship, I took a shot at fitting one out.quote:[Onyx, Onyx 1] 80.7/92.8/89.1/81.9 resist profile. 111k EHP vs uniform damage. Cap stable at 66% without the mwd, 1:40 with. And I don't know what any of that means. Any feedback on how terrible this is would be great. Or alternative fits. Edit: nb: I can't fly hictors, and every time I fly a dictor I die.

Just returned to EVE, time to learn the game properly now because I've just come to the realization that no matter how many times I type "best PvP/Sandbox MMO" into google, I'm never going to find anything other than a pile of dogshit if I don't just suck it up and get back into EVE. So I've just copt myself a shitload of plex and purchased a nice little 22Mil SP focused PvP pilot from the character bazaar, currently soloing around lowsec losing ships trying to learn the dance.

Altho I think it's more that Guristas ships are currently King poo poo of nearly any solo PvE. About the only things they can't do well are incursions and some 10/10s. (And even the latter is questionable, as I'm guessing that you could get a high enough resist on the Rattler to tank the Maze.)

All that dps, drat. avatarinwin posted:Could you share the fit you use, and would you recommend it over a gila? For c3 don't use the passive fit. Go with a similar-to-tengu fit. Deadspace booster + boost amp, some t2 resist mods till you get ~600dps tank, then fill the rest with damage. 3 drone damage amps, 3 bcus in the lows. Painter in the mids somewhere, 5 rapid heavy launchers, 1 heavy nos, 1 t2 cc rig, 2 t1 ccc rigs. Go slaughter everything. Edit - gecko + 5 rapid heavies with faction scourge = 1500 dps  Bet it applies it all incredibly well too, that's why it's so good.Edit 2 -  All the WH talk in here is working, ehhh?!

They gatecamp PF- a lot, roam a lot and generally poo poo-talk a lot. Really, join GW, apply to SV (they're a SIG) and go. Don't play Eve with pubbies, it's just not worth it.

Jon Von Anchovi posted:Thanks for the advice - I'm entirely aware that I'll likely die to groups but not bothered losing this batch of 5. My problem with that fit is it's presented in context of a gang as a support unit -- the long point holds them down enough that the Enyos mentioned will have time to get in Scram range. If you're attempting to kite something with a scram (say, a Retribution, Hawk, Jaguar, Thorax, Enyo, Maller, etc), there's a non-zero chance your opponent would pick off your drones the second he realizes you're not hitting him with your guns. The Ishkur is a good ship, but fitting it out as a kiter is like putting rockets on a Crow and getting in people's faces. Yeah, you can do it, but should you? If you're looking to leverage your blasters and drone skills, I suggest a fit similar to this: code:Along with what the poster above said, set up a Drag bubble 100km past the gate and sit on a perch until someone comes along. A Stop bubble is easier to do, but drags have the benefit of disorienting people who have tracking camera on (if you've ever been caught in a Drag, you know what I'm talking about). Drop onto them at 0 and proceed to feed them antimatter. The ideal camping spots are out of Dscan range of other gates or celestials. Make sure to set up plenty of pounces while the bubble is coming online, in case you need to Overheat your Cap Booster every time you use it. That cycles it faster, getting it to reload quicker. Do the same with your Ancillary Armour Repairer -- pulse it, don't let it run. You want to get the maximum use out of every charge you can. Remember that you have to press the overhead button every time it turns off. Orbit close, don't worry if your guns are having trouble tracking -- your small sig should keep you from being hit too hard. If you're fighting a cruiser, kill drones first. They'll be the cruiser's main source of damage against you. Avoid Vexors and their variants, and Thoraxes. Caracals should be ok if they're Heavy fit, otherwise a RLML Caracal will kill you and use your bubble for his own camp. Your best prey are ships that typically rely on speed to stay alive. Omen Navy Issues, Dramiels, Daredevils, Orthrus and Garmurs. You should be able to win against almost every other assault frigate and most faction frigs, but all of that will take practice. If you've never PvP'd before you'll likely be overwhelmed by the adrenaline rush and make some mistakes. That's ok, control of that will come as you continue to fight. Just remember to breathe, zoom out, and have drones on your overview. Good luck.

avatarinwin posted:Could you share the fit you use, and would you recommend it over a gila? Would love to! Here's my current Rattlesnake (fit courtesy of the mad scientist experimentation of one, Nex Dementia):  Here's some points of interest regarding this fit and why it's ideal for C3's: -It's cheap. Total fittings + hull is only 598 mil ISK estimated. This is because this fit gets away with T1 rigs. As Gilas require ~75 mil ISK in T2 purger rigs in order to tank C3 sites, this Rattlesnake fit only costs a few hundred million more and vastly outperforms the Gila. Gila would take me between 16 and 20 minutes to clear a site. My Rattlesnake cleared every site in exactly 7 minutes tonight. It's incredible and I do recommend it. -The RHMLs murder frigates with the faction target painter. The battleships already go down insanely fast, so trust me, you do not need cruises or torps. -The target painter plays a critical role in keeping aggro on you and off your 30 million ISK Gecko. You've gotta run the target painter or some other type of ewar. This, and the cheapness of the fit, is why I am using an active tank fit right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4XXvGsnrok Here's an additional passive fit that is capable of tanking double the DPS of my current active shield fit. Video was linked earlier in the thread by MorsAnima. This fit is incredible, but the T2 purger rigs run 100 mil ISK a pop, which is why I am currently not using it. It also does not have any ewar, so I am confused how he keeps the sleepers from aggroing his drone.

In general, the Ishkur is pretty meh. The main problem with that fit is the fact that you have no way of holding someone down to shoot them with your blasters. Also, use warriors and not hobgoblins. Personally, I'd recommend going AB/Web/Scram if you are going blaster fit and just get in their face and hammer them with drones/Neutrons.

Have you considered dropping the tank a bit and going for more dps? With the kill speed you really don't need 700 dps tank, I'm sure you've noticed the booster barely being used after the initial kill or two in each wave, and since the aim is maximising clear speed, DPS is king. I'm dying to test this, but missile skills in the dirt means no-go. Anyway, this is what I theorycrafted - code:It's clear you'll make a fortune in this, but if you intend to keep costs down then yeah, your fit looks pretty solid. I like to splurge on fits, what can I say, it's fun. MorsAnima fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Dec 8, 2014 |
