dragonstalking posted:It's not about the tank it's about utility mods and tackle. Utility I'll grant you but you can sacrifice a mid for a point on a snake and still have a comparable tank to a mach, coupled with an insane amount more dps I think the meta will move away a bit from just armour BS/t3 fleets

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Before two weeks ago the last time I played there weren't any anomalies. It's pretty safe, especially now that you have to pay attention though you are better off running level 5 missions in your carrier for 4x the money and less risk but it takes more work/money to setup in the beginning. Level 4s have added a thing called burner missions, tough single or trio rats that will wreck your poo poo, but if you have the right setup you can complete them stupid fast for a very high payout so it all depends really

It's because they thought that adding the components for cosmos missions would be enough, not realizing that except in a few cases most cosmos items are terrible and seldom used

bluegoon posted:Do I have to do the low level missions in order to access the other ones? Everything is just melting.. So long as you have the relevant social skills to at least 3/4 it only takes a few missions per level to get to the next one, without them though its probably a proper grind. Every 16th mission though you get a story-line that is pretty mandatory as it gives you a massive standings boost. If you are doing missions for empire factions though do cosmos missions for a quick boost

I wonder what draw backs they would've come up with for those if they came out at the same time as the t2 ammo did, iirc some missiles slowed you down if you had them loaded for batty lore reasons

Except that MS stopped doing those and started just putting currency values on everything instead. Probably because otherwise you wouldn't be able to directly go from isk > aur store item using plex in case w/e item you want isn't on the market yet or is at gently caress you prices.

Jazzzzz posted:Blops V considered mandatory, or will IV work to start? Blops 5 is only really mandatory if you are trying to bump in a panther, otherwise its just a nice QoL thing with the blops bonuses being weird like inertia on the sin which is nice to get off the field but not really necessary, with lvl 4 you move faster cloaked than uncloaked (no prop) which is nice though. JDC V on the other hand its pretty mandatory

Jazzzzz posted:Already have JDC V/ JFC V, but I'm two months out from a Sin with T2 guns and Blops IV. The Panther is a bit over a month since I already have the guns trained. Widow/Redeemer I only need to train Blops IV which is about a week, but it sounds like they aren't so hot. The sin is better with no guns and using its highs for neuts and smart bombs, or RR if you are dropping on something with teeth. If you are dropping something solo/small gang the neuts will kill any active tank (most tanks) better than the extra dps can overcome it. Panther is nice for the select-able damage and 2 utility highs, redeemer does more damage but is locked and has little utility so its better in bigger groups where you don't need to be a swiss army knife. Widow is, odd? rhml is nice for burst damage but that's about it, its OK for small work but bigger gangs are all armour with RR which it is terrible at doing but jams can be a nice thing to have in niche situations IMO. Small blops drop/solo I'd say: Sin > Panther > Redeemer = Widow

Nazareth posted:Hey guys. I'm relatively new to taking the game seriously and I have a question. As in things you can do with blops-like ships? Exploration sites (data/relic) in null/low sec, gets you good at scanning and evading bads quickly, can be done from day one with a t1 explo frig that while can't warp cloaked is cheap as poo poo and pays for itself 30 times over with 1 good site. FW missions are almost exclusively done in bombers and piss out LP for little risk. DED sites, ties in with the exploration but can only really be done in either a blops BS or a T3

You can always do industry on separate characters, but if you're doing blops then you are generally moving around a lot in hostile territory, industry is generally rather static to an area which unless you want to do a lot of travelling isn't really feasible

FranktheBank posted:I'm super noob on the subject, but as I understand it, Arti is for the high alpha (like gate camps) and ACs is for actual fighting. I'm guessing the ACs fit drops the sebo for some tank in mid. Pretty much, but you can still get some really nice dps out of arty on it and it counters active tanks really well because it helps alpha through reps, but the svipul does struggle to fit them with an armour tank without gimping the fit a bit, or dropping to 250s, with shield though I personally prefer arty over autos just because you don't have to be at knife fight range to apply most of your damage.

Landsknecht posted:So I was just playing around in EFT and with the svipul you can do a dual MASB fit (with MWD and 200mm ACs) which will put out 370dps and tank around 310 with one MASB running (about 615 with both going, unheated), using no boosts and implants (just strong blue pill) You can also completely passive tank the it with purger rigs, all power relays in the lows and 2 MSEs and get a daft regen out of it that murders pretty much anything small solo by simply outlasting it

Landsknecht posted:I'd worry about being up against an hecate because those things poo poo dps while having a decent tank (and if someone is packing the new serp implants, well then) While true that it doesn't have the burst damage of an active tank it's not susceptible to neuts or screw-ups which is nice, I actually tried taking one on in a hull tanked/aar hecate and found that I couldn't break him fast enough to win, maybe with dual rep?

Reverand maynard posted:The svipul is one of the only (minmatar) ships that can actually use arty. A full rack of t2 arty will leave a tempest or maelstrom with like 1% pg left with all Vs The tornado, firetail, thrasher, munnin, the whole hurricane line and rupture would disagree. While I don't agree with the decision, I'm pretty sure the to make it so that you can't fit the largest arty without concessions on BS is by design, though the test mael doctrine seems to be working well for them (only needing a PDS to fit) and is rather cost efficient.

FruitNYogurtParfait posted:why can you fit full rails when they're better at basically everything except alpha Because alpha is important to overcome reps in medium fights? In large fights I guess not so much, but when have there been 255v255 man BS fights recently? Let alone bigger like in the fountain war. Also, even if you are losing a fight with arty you can still trade kills for longer because you can alpha people with fewer ships.

Given what I see in low sec everyday that probably wasn't the best of ideas. Small gang pvp I'm involved in sometimes escalates to carriers being undocked. I wouldn't worry about ccp nerfing the OP cancer ships any time soon, they drag their heels when it comes to that, it took them ages to nerf the drake and the ishtar, so I figure the svipul and the orthrus have some time left

ECM burst is better than targeted because you turn it on and that's it, no messing which is what you should be drone ratting for anyway, laziness. RR pulls agro regardless yes.
