He was propbably purpose trained to sit in a titan. Subcap shenanigans detract from that. He probably has another subcap dude.

Up until the last two years ago most of our titans were just glorified pos queens.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I'm doing solo PVP sometimes. Mostly do die hilariously to everything, since I'm the shittiest pilot ever born. In one of my first solo fights the other guy was so confused about my Maller dying so fast he wrote "WTF, where's your tank?" in local. I had forgotten to switch on my armor rep and only remembered after my guns had self-neuted my ship. :v:

After four years of playing EVE, I have two kills to my name, total.

Anyway, I always liked the Pilgrim. Mostly because the thought of ambushing people and then using cap and e-warfare to make someone absolutely helpless is funny to me.

Are you flying around lowsec or dipping into null? I usually run around null, but thought that I would give FW-Space a try and just died to a Huggin, which was sitting in a medium plex and had a merlin as bait. :argh:

On the other hand I tanked their gang for a good 10 minutes before they reshipped a couple of their guys and brought out more caracals to actually kill me.

My dedicated PVP-character is mostly for LowSec and FW, my main's adventures in seeking death were in LowSec (kill 1), NullSec and W-Space (kill 2).

In NullSec I never did anything except die in the most ludicrious fashion, like that one time where my Manticore drifted into someones POS-shield, decloaked and got blown up while I was studying my d-scan. :shepface:

Goons mining 2 full regions of highsec more than the rest of the game, with possibilities of it being at least 3-4 regions, makes me think why isn't more of null like that, it's how it is in the Chinese servers.

Align, F1, Warp. Repeat.

:stare: You can do this?

If we used 600 Petes we'd be probed and bubbled within 10 seconds. Our fleets comps are intended to be very forgiving of the odd bad fitting. For goodness' sake, we struggled with Crows and went back to Claws.

The whole point of Petes is to do fuckall dps and live forever because you can warp/alpha/warp before another fleet can catch you and they can't be bubbled.

They were the 3rd party ship of choice for a while just because the only real chance you had to kill them was on a gate or at a perch.

only partially true, i was just the closest person aside from tilta to a base level erebus when we decided to get one by virtue of going dominix->thanatos/moros with a focus on drones mostly

it worked out ok because titans didnt use guns at the time

Jesus, that fitting! You would've been hosed against anything bigger than a BC, but I suppose you just wanted to kill small poo poo? Hyperion ist easily my favourite battleship in the entire game, but it's not as engagable as others. Probs for taking that badboy into null!

Given that he talked about goons and their bad fitting decisions, I believe he was suggesting that someone would go for all-align or all-dps or just focus on locktime (most likely) and get everyone else killed by being a big, probe-able beacon in the middle of the fleet.

Finish off your missile supports, then armor comps to 5. Then train bomb deployment to get void bombs

Then Hic 5 and graviton physics 5 then sensor comps to 5 is what I would do.

I don't have any really good advice, I mainly looked because as a low SP scrub it's good to see where bitter vets decided certain skills were "good enough."

But you seem to be missing the support skills for damps/painters/TDs, if those are things you use often.

edit: Missile Bombardment 5 is also a big deal due to the :ccp: math regarding missile range

Armor:
* You're missing Armor Layering (reduced mass for plates) entirely, get it to 4
* Armor comps to 5, you're walking away from 2% resist on your EANMs
* Maybe remote hull reps to 3 or 4

Drones:
* Fighter Hangar Management 4 (5 if you've got aims on a super)
* Support Fighters 4 (the extra resists on T2 sirens go a long way)

Electronic Systems:
* Secondary ewar skills (Signal Suppression, Signature Focusing, Weapon Destabilization) -- these are arguably more important than the base skills

Engineering:
* Thermodynamics 5. Get on it, son.
* Resistance Phasing to 4 if you fly anything with a RAH

Missiles:
* Get your core skills (Warhead Upgrades, Rapid Launch, Guided Missile Precision, Missile Projection) to 5. Then see.

Rigging:
* Get everything you've already got injected to 4. You're missing drone rigging, but so few ships use that, it's not a high priority.
* Hybrid and energy weapon rigging.

Targeting:
* Get the other two sensor compensation skills, and get all four comps to 5.
