Super handy, thank you. I guess I was undervaluing speed and mobility in my other fits. I suppose that's way more important in small gang fights.

Opinion time, and I bow to ullerm because he undoubtedly has way more experience than I do, but I think that curse fit is way too thin to make a real impact on a small engagement. At 24k ehp you're going to be cut to ribbons by drones and you can't rely on the TDs to mitigate any reasonable amount of damage, especially if you are at range. As with all curse fits you can't run the neuts and the MWD at the same time without capping yourself to poo poo so you'll have to choose between keeping range with no cap warfare or getting within tackle range.

Here's what I would do:
code:
[Curse, tanky mix]

Damage Control II
Power Diagnostic System II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Drone Damage Amplifier II

50MN Quad LiF Restrained Microwarpdrive
Large Shield Extender II
Large Shield Extender II
Warp Disruptor II
Stasis Webifier II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II

Medium Energy Neutralizer II
Medium Energy Neutralizer II
Small Energy Neutralizer II
Medium Energy Nosferatu II
Medium Knave Scoped Energy Nosferatu

Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer II
Medium Egress Port Maximizer II


Infiltrator II x5
Vespa EC-600 x5
Acolyte II x5
Hobgoblin II x5


Nanite Repair Paste x50
The loss of the TD's means you are much more vulnerable to battleship guns but they are going to be tearing you a new rear end in a top hat with drones anyway so whatever. The web is there as T3D insurance, those fuckers are everywhere and the point/web//neuts/speed combo means if they get within 10 they aren't getting away, but you've still got the long point range capability for kiting when required. You have to sacrifice cap runtime to plug the EM hole though...

True gooniness is a mentality rather than a subscription to an Internet forum.

If you act like a goon in meatspace interactions with real people it's also sign of a mental illness but :shrug:

You can swap it to whatever you want, so long as it doesn't use any grid. If you're confident you'll be fighting stuff you can keep capped out (and therefore not running away) then throw another tank mod on there. Or a small cap booster if you want more runtime.

I finished a level 4 mission with a maelstrom and an ishtar and only managed to lose two Garde I and two Ogre I. Game is brutal. People that do them in maelstrom must know something(s) I don't. If anyone in rock Bros wants to do missions with me that would be fun. Ishtar is awesome because it zooms around and tanks a whole bunch.

I was in Theta in 2006. Does Thecrate play anymore? Everyone I've checked on my friend list hasn't been on in 2 years.

I think it's worth it. Despite what reading the posts in this thread might make you think, EVE is actually a neat game. Or rather, EVE is a neat game if you play with a group of people you like. There are a handful of options in the OP, but I'd steer you towards either Goonswarm or KarmaFleet. Don't make the mistake of trying to play by yourself for a while to get the hang of the game, that usually doesn't work very well. (VideoGames posts notwithstanding.) Get into Goons or KarmaFleet and start playing with other folks.
