On a related note, what's a good ship to welp into a gang of interceptors, but still take down a few of them in the process? RLML Caracal? I've seen people use light missile launcher drakes. Pack on the uncomplicated idiot-proof tank and just trade light missiles with them until you run out of health. The insurance is fine and you get SRP for whittling down the overconfident interceptor gangs.

Why the hell doesn't the Sacriledge get bonuses to RLMLs when every other missile cruiser does. Fukken bulllshit.

I think the best way to gently caress up a gang of 10 inties might be something like a bait ishtar in an anom, with an arazu cloaked next to it. edit wait forgot about the decloak targeting delay, they'd gently caress off as soon as it appears. gently caress. VVV edit 2: yeah I getcha, but a fully bonused RLML sac does sound kinda nuts to me. The range bonus might be ok. Klyith fucked around with this message at 22:37 on May 21, 2015 |

The LightSail launches and tests out the solar sail tech they developed next year, which is what the Kickstarter is for helping to fund.

The gang will be thinking "lol, easy kill with some shitlord ratting in a Nestor" and then you can rep the Lachesis while your support warps in.

All my google results are getting work proxy'd i will explain it to you as a scrub that does not even understand the current sov mechanics can: instead of shooting at buildings to capture territory you install something on a ship that lets you capture points. everyone seems to think it gives too much advantage to the attacker and offers too little to the defender to maintain all that now trollable space

It actually does still get a 5% ROF bonus for RLMLs, but the 5% damage bonus doesn't apply. You can still get 450 overheated dps from RLMLs with a 65k EHP tank and great resists, so yeah I could see it being used as close-in armor fleet anti-support. grumplestiltzkin posted:Use a lachesis.

Just have it sitting in the anom at 0 with a shitload of scrams and grab anything that's dumb enough to land. There isn't really any one ship (other than a perfectly-placed smartbombing battleship) that can pin down and kill gangs of interceptors; that's why they're so popular.

mikey posted:A Lach will have trouble actually locking and killing interceptors, though, and assumes that they warp to the anom at 0 and then sit on their hands for 5 seconds. A Huginn with ACs and a sensorbooster might do a bit better, but you'll only be able to catch 1-2 at a time. Depending on how many interceptors you're going up against and how overconfident they are, a pure DPS RLML/XLASB Rapier with an SB might be a better option, since it can kill an MSE interceptor in about 7-8 seconds. If I may just step in and solve everyone's problems with my finely honed EFT skills:  The solution is not one, but THREE Lachesis. One remotely sensorboosted with 3 modules each from the other two Lachesis, which also sensorboost themselves with signal amplifiers, regular sensor boosters, scanres-rigs AND have an additional faction point and 5 Hobgoblins each. Group of interceptors warp in, get locked down and shot at by the main Lachesis, anything that flees gets two-volleyed before it's beyond 80km, anything that comes in close gets scrambled and torn apart by 15 Hobgoblins. You also need an off-grid booster...and implants, obviously. There, for a mere SIX BILLION in ships and implants that die to literally every other imaginable situation, I've fixed the problem of a handful of menacing interceptors priced at around 100 million isk and not at all wasted 15 minutes of my life while horrendously bored.

Duzzy Funlop posted:If I may just step in and solve everyone's problems with my finely honed EFT skills: Use an RLML/ASB Caracal if you don't want to risk a battleship and don't care if you die. If the interceptors are less dumb and don't all warp in at zero, use a Rapier with a sensor booster:  This locks an inty in 4 seconds and kills it in about 6-10 seconds. Decloak when you see one of them on a 5AU dscan, and your recalibration shouldn't be an issue.

Even if you somehow get caught in the smarbombing BS you should have an MJD too. If one of them has a scram they're pretty drat close... what's the range on large smartbombs? You can still probably tank them and call for theta to save you, if you're near JU. Try (not) to smartbomb them while you're at it.

Non-faction smartbombs are 6k which is shorter range than a scram even ignoring that interceptors have bonus to range. Most of the idiots flying through our space in interceptors use long point lml maledictions though

Well, it was semi-relevant in like 2007 right after it got massive HAM bonuses (and when HAMs were still good) but right before the speed nerf. Maybe 4-5 months? Remember when yaay or some other terrible ex-MM FC thought HML sacrileges would be cool and welped like 100 of them into Mr. Vee in Delve

However, upon looking at his fit, one smartbombing BS won't kill it. Speaking as someone who played during the peak of 30km/s Crow bullshit, this interceptor meta is incredibly stupid. These things should absolutely not be able to fit for 2s align AND have nullification, nevermind being able to cram an MSE on for smartbomb resistance.

mikey posted:It should absolutely be a module, highslot with a mass penalty and some grid requirement, such that you can't make one nullified and <3s align, or nullified+LML+MSE without giving up multiple lowslots for fitting. Nullification should be useful for a point tackling interceptor or two, not for entire roving gangs that can kill poo poo on their own. Agreed the interceptor meta is dumb. Nullification should be dropped imo at least for the combat focused ceptors (taranis, crow, etc)
