the CDFE doesn't really give you anything. Also I don't know anything about missions, so you might be able to simply AB away and blap them as they follow and lose transversal or you might need to shoehorn in a web/some other mod to help apply damage. edit: did they ever make it so faction guns can use t2 ammo/benefit from weapon spec skills? second edit: [Nightmare, New Setup 1] Large Armor Repairer II Imperial Navy Heat Sink Imperial Navy Heat Sink Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II Armor Explosive Hardener II Armor Kinetic Hardener II 100MN Afterburner II Large Cap Battery II Large Cap Battery II Heavy Stasis Grappler II Federation Navy Stasis Webifier Tracking Computer II Tracking Computer II Drone Link Augmentor I Drone Link Augmentor I Tachyon Beam Laser II, Gleam L Tachyon Beam Laser II, Gleam L Tachyon Beam Laser II, Gleam L Tachyon Beam Laser II, Gleam L Large Energy Burst Aerator I Large Auxiliary Nano Pump I Large Anti-Thermal Pump I Valkyrie II x5 Hobgoblin II x5 might be viable with implants that increase repping power. it reps less than half of the shield setup but if your fighting rats inside 14km it will be doing a lot more dps.

I have had a long issue with trying to understand drone aggro. 2 weeks ago, I was trying to solo rat in a VNI. Rats kept focus firing my heavies down, put would ignore mediums and lights. Eventually they started a process of killing 1-2 drones, of any size, then ignoring drones for the rest of the site. So I started sacrificing a single light drone to start a site and then deploying my faction drones and it was working fine. Then, all of a sudden, about a week and a half ago the rats just started ignoring my drones. The day before, I had finished Drone Durability 3, but was experiencing the same issues all day. The next day it just... fixed itself? Then tonight, I did something stupid and forgot to put my AB on and lost my VNI. After I refitted with the EXACT same fit, I went to a site and the rats started focusing my drones down again, like back before 2 weeks ago. I tried sacrificing drones again, didn't work. As soon as I deploy more than 3 heavies, the rats start attacking the drones. There has been no drone skill changes during this time. Can anyone explain what is happening and/or how to fix it? tia

Are you using literally any ewar modules at all? Doesn't matter what it is, rats hate ewar and will target the hell out of you just to make it stop.

I've found that the aggro tables get messed up sometimes. When this happens to me I get safe, eject from my ship, and re-board. That usually fixes it. Usually.

You need something to kill occasional tackle frigates. There are a few missions which have some which are basically untrackable to large guns by orbiting at 2000m at 500k/sec (and MWDing at 5000k/sec with 20km 90% webs). For those, eg, in my missile boat I carry precision missiles and TP them. Otherwise, I use drones. Most missions which are worth doing won't have situations where you need to otherwise reduce transversal on stuff.

Re: nightmare fits There's a few l4 missions that fitting an mjd and blapping from range significantly speeds up clear times as well. Granted, it's been a while since I've missioned, so that could be bunk now. I'll see if I have one of the fits saved later on though, never tried armor on it but shield was great for me.

FranktheBank posted:I have had a long issue with trying to understand drone aggro. Rats and drone aggro is this weird loving dance that makes no sense in this game. The ewar trick used to work, but last night on Sisi I was testing this exact thing against wormhole rats in my Rattlesnake and NOTHING worked to keep them from aggroing my drones. I tried remote armor repairing them, remote sensor boosting them, target painting a sleeper rat, and even neuting a sleeper rat. None of these things kept the rats from switching to my drones. What I eventually settled on for my Rattlesnake was the following: 2x Garde II's for cruisers and close range battleships. 2x Curator II's for long range battleships and far away turrets. 2x Berserker II's for frigates that close and orbit me at around 6km. This way, all drones I deploy are near me and I just recall them if they come under fire. I think the Berserkers are the best heavy drones for dealing with frigs because they are fast and seem to be the only ones capable of tracking them. Ogres miss frigates all day long. Anyway, maybe that helps. You aren't alone with this problem. I think CCP likely hosed with aggro mechanics, because the days of AFK drone warfare seem to be over. Either that or sleepers are just extra obnoxious and none of this applies to normal rats.

ChickenWing posted:I'm 95% sure it's this - I know sleepers are hell on drones, far more so than regular NPCs Running regular highsec L4s in a rattlesnake I occasionally have to pull a drone, even if I've been tanking all aggro for a minute or two before launching. Not a huge deal for me because I usually MJD out to sniping distances and drop sentries but it sucks when you come in from an acceleration gate and immediately get aggro from a bunch of elite frigates that you can't hit for poo poo w/ cruises, painted or not

Note on ewar and aggro, sometimes a target painter or undersized neut does not distract them from eating your drones.

So I was looking through the AT ships and their bonuses and it seems to me like there's been a pretty strong power-creep every successive year - like, compare the Moracha to the Mimir - the Moracha does everything better and can cloak. Will CCP ever nerf these things or are they so rare that they're happy to maintain their role as AT trump cards for the big boy teams?

They should be stop making unreasonable ships, then give bpcs to the winners, then let them be gettable 1 year after they are prizes. It's dumb when CCP devotes that many resources to creating things that virtually no players in eve will ever see. Faction battleships used to be a big deal, back in the day, and now they are so commonplace they are fleet doctrines. I'd love to see things like the Moracha available to every player who is willing to grind out 9.9 standings and get a one time offer, or reach some rank in faction warfare or something. Keep the supply small, but make it so you occasionally see them.

So what is the biggest draw to upgrading to a Scimitar from a Scythe? I get that the Scimitar has a little more tank, but the Scythe would be cheaper, gets a boost to all logistics drones so I can have a few armor rep drones stored for fixing armor between fights, and even with Logi Cruiser V, the Scimitar only gets a 300% boost to shield booster range while the scythe has 430% as a role bonus. Is it the additional fitting resources with the extra powergrid and CPU? Am I not comprehending what all the bonuses the Scimitar gets do? I'm only just starting to dip my toes into logi so I'm trying to learn what's what.

Scythes typically have to stick with Medium reps, while a Scimitar can be made to go with larges.

You probably do not want to take a Covetor into low sec or null sec, unless you're part of a larger group. Procurers are relatively tanky, you might be able to fend off a single ship, but you'll most likely get shot.
