ullerm is already owning in a dual rep Vexor so I don't see why you'd want to go to a Proteus that has so much buffer you'd be better off with a Fax than a local rep. People tend to not fight you if you're in something with an obvious active rep tank like an Eos.

proteus with single rep can like cap-stable tank 500dps or so, and that's a gimmicky fit

you could probably do one (with implants+links) that scrams out to 18k, permatanks 1200+DPS cap stable, and does 700 dps

it's a good ship, probably my favourite t3 (although i don't really fly one outside of AHACS)

I like it, I just haven't bothered using it for cov ops pvp yet.

I also love flying my Tengu, but with out current doctrines and the fact that there's no great dps fitting for a cov ops tengu, I basically only get to use it for doing sleeper caches and other forms of pve. :(

i really liked the petes back when they were a thing, but then CCP went and nerfed what wasn't a terribly OP ship

yet balance legion hasn't been nerfed yet

Just follow along if you don't wanna get neutered.
Am I mistaken in seeing that you can throw pretty much whatever the hell you want on the Pontifex and Magus because all their damage potential is in drones, yet somehow their fitting stats imply that CCP wanted you to put guns on them?

Because that's what I'm seeing when I fit these things.

or the orthrus which can zip around at a measily 7.5k/sec and spew out 500 easily-applied DPS to 60km

How do 3 un-bonused turret slots make you want to strap guns on those boats?

he's saying they have pg/cpu like ccp thought you were going to strap guns on, but because you're not because they're unbonused, you can fit like anything else

i thought you could do small neuts or something?

with the bonused drones the pontifex and magus have probably the best damage of any of the t2ds if you fit small blasters

Apparently there's some tears going on about the carrier heavy rocket salvo changes, because carriers deploying 3 2011-era Dramiels with RSB-Svipul lock times and Maelstrom alpha was balanced.

Well, you see, because fighters are frigate sized, each fighter should have the dps, alpha, and ehp of a frigate. Being able to solo 27box frigates is perfectly balanced because I paid 2b isk for them, which is more than 27 actual frigates cost.

This is the best argument I've seen for carriers applying excellent DPS to frigates and cruisers. By a lot. I would actually accept it as a valid reason coming from devs.

It's the event that's spawned the sites. There's a new Scope button in the UI to bring up your new content to grind. Apparently the gold box at the end of the grind contains a 1 run capital bpc.

Compared to the GSF average in levels of activity, skillpoints, organization.

They were obviously not happy in GSF but as a whole they are "fine"

I take people saying the word fine as eat dirt and die in this case ratpercusses didn't integrate with groups. Then when they left they got dunked in fountain on a move op. Basically they ate dirt and died. Yup totally FINE.

Today's comedy of errors:

* Got a limited-availability Shadow of Serpent challenge: Mine 100,000 scordite in one hour
* Throw together a buffer-tanked 2xDDA procurer and hop into 93PI to start chewing rocks, am largely AFK for 20+ minutes
* Less than five minutes after coming back from AFK, I get jumped by a pilgrim and rapier from CE
* Put drones on the rapier, he warps out after exhausting his XLASB charges
* Pull drones, deaggress, drop mobile depot. Swap DDAs for WCSes.
* Warp off from pilgrim's scram to station
* GF in local
* Repair, return in a bit, and finish mining with no further attempts at molestation
* Hit the 100,000 unit mark with 4 minutes to spare :D

I am proud of you a miner after my own heart. So want to come chill with me and raise 93pi indexs in the future?

also other stuff to post about:

IMO the new serpentis event is kinda dumb, and if I'm gonna spend a whole bunch of time dicking around with PVE it'd be better to do WHs, lvl 5s, or even hisec incursions, just because the payout will be so much better. TYVM :ccp: for a total grindfest with lackluster rewards.

PL has also been having a lot of dunks on carriers since we've moved; I'm really glad that more people are using them now
