Ships & Modules

[Phantasm, PHANTASTIC]

3x True Sansha Heavy Pulse Laser (Dark Blood Multifrequency M)
2x True Sansha Small Nosferatu

3x Dread Guristas Adaptive Invulnerability Field
Gist B-Type X-Large Shield Booster
Caldari Navy Shield Boost Amplifier
True Sansha Small Capacitor Booster (Navy Cap Booster 400)

2x True Sansha Power Diagnostic System
True Sansha Heat Sink

Medium Semiconductor Memory Cell II
2x Medium Semiconductor Memory Cell I

3x Hobgoblin II




Obviously an expensive ship so it would only fly in gangs with other such ships to lessen the obvious chance of primary the bling ship . I have the skills but need more to get it going really dangerous but overload can tank 1.4k assuming the modules dont burnout before the capacitor. Basically a high end fleet ship. I don't have either the isk or enough SP to fly it as well but id like to know if its even worth working towards.

lol

This fit is terrible in every single way. You would really have to stretch to make it any worse

The Sansha don't particularly like the Caldari Navy. If you are roleplaying, you should be fitting a faction module that is more friendly to the Sansha.

The fit makes no sense as it seems to have no role, faction pulses make no sense and without tackle it doesn't work in pvp. Also in fleets you really don't want to use a faction ship/fit like that because it means you'll be primaried each and every time. Do not think that ship size/cost will help you survive pvp if you're inexperienced, it won't and all it'll be is a hilariously expensive lossmail.

No Prop, No Point, No Scorch, No Chance

Without going into detail you should take on board a few things, faction mods can be useful if used to enhance the attributes of the ship - eg faction point on a ship that gets a bonus for point.

Faction lasers as already pointed out, can't use T2 ammo so for pulse you really need Scorch ammo - so T2 guns

By having to fit PDU's you have a gimped fit as those two low slots could be used for more gank and/or mods to assist the guns

Ditto for your rigs - having to fit 3 memory cells says you just don't have the power - unless you fitted based upon your skills rather than skills at 5 - one I can understand but you could use the other slots for shield and/or gank

Try looking at it (possibly) with shield extenders in the rig slots (possibly an EM rig ?) more gank in the lows.

Mids - well you're kind of on the right track but you need propulsion mod and possibly tackle - unless you are aiming just to do DPS and expecting to be running with some tacklers in a group

It's just too damn expensive for what you would like to use it for and just won't be optimal with this set up.

Saying all that the Phantasm isn't used a lot in PvP - I'm sure people do use it with success but youre fit gimps what it could do.

In all honesty - try another cruiser that uses similar mods (amarr) see how they work, skill up shield and secondary sklills (engineering, electronics etc) then see on a few months if you think the Phantasm is the way to go.

OP is looking for the following fit. Obviously for use with Tengu and Loki links, and drugs, etc.

Everyone likes dying to a hurricane in a fancy fit

Hi, props for the willingness to learn and asking questions.

First off your fit sucks balls because the cap will last about 20 seconds before your bling ship becomes a stationary target.

Secondly the whole point of lasers is using scorch. If you're flying lasers without scorch you're not coming across as a good player. T2 medium lasers don't take that long to train for.

So to start sucking less you'll want to pay attention to how long your cap lasts, how much cap you're booster is giving and how much the mods are consuming. For that reason using an X-Large shield booster is simply dumb.

There are two ways to fit a phantasm for active tank:

Large shield booster + 2 x Medium Core Def Cap Safeguard II
or
Medium shield booster + 2 x Medium Core Def Oper Solidifier II

The remaining rig should be a t2 anti-em.

Either of those ways you get a decent tank that will last until you run out of cap charges.

If your budget is as flexible as you imply try an a-type med shield booster, cald navy boost amp, t2 invuln for goot tank and low cap comsumption. If you wont be using point throw another boost amp there. All fueled by a t2 medium cap booster plus the mentioned rigs. Dont forget a prop - mwd or ab at least.

Good luck.

this thread just got me thinking: can a reasonable fit phantasm handle a C2? it would be pretty convenient to loot and salvage while running the sites and not risk too much isk while soloing them.
