cloaky proteus is a beast :)

i fly this in a very small gang

Proteus is a brilliant cloaky solo/gang ship, ultra-heavy tackle for large fleets or armor buffer brawler in a logi fleet. It also does a very impressive active armor tank.

I agree with Predator, the above not the best cloaky Proteus fit I've seen either:

- not taking advantages of the extended scram range
- no drones
- no defense against neuting

But to each their own, this is my bogeyman:

I've been researching many cloaky Proteus builds for the past few days, as I've been thinking about jumping in one for some upgraded solo fun. However I am abit wet behind the ears with the Proteus. Can anyone preferably with experience, critique my build.

My logic behind the build
The major obvious flaw is it doesn't have any drones, however I have seen rational arguments argue that you can go without them. With 4 mids it has a capbooster to counter Cap warfare, and still retain a web, as I have seen many builds with a booster but typically forgoing the web.
As for the tank it has a 90k ehp which Im hoping should be enough? The repper isnt really there to be an active tank, although obviouly you could use it to prolong if you need to use it, but the idea was not having to go back to a station to repair. As for the EM rig, yes it's meant to be EM not Exp as dropping the EM rig just gave a too bigger EM hole, and having a EM rig just balanced out the resists better overall. Obviously the EANM's and Tackle can be upgraded to faction variants.

Is the tank idea too weak? is this viable or complete utter set sail for fail?

I can thing about a couple of those loot piñatas get lown by 1 or 2 cynas with faction point 30km, it's always nit to spit battleship dps on EFT. In game if you're going to solo you better be able to hit crap at least 30km or you'll get home in a pod sooner than later.

You can fit your Prot for 400'ish + dps 30+km without implants/combat boosters, switch AM for a nive 650+ and Void for destruction "in tha face", it's more than enough dps to kill stuff, but at least you don't get yourself owned like a noob pointed from "there" and unable to do anything else but watch yourself miserably die.

You need to loose at least one this way to understand EFT is nice, play the game is better.

Yes, because everyone flies Cynas.

Run into a Cyna on a gate? Warp...and if he points you, slowboat back to the gate...plenty of buffer on most Proteus, and Cyna's generally don't fit webs or warp scramblers.

If it's 2 Cynas...well...you either didn't scan/scout enough or you picked a fight against ships your Proteus really can't handle well on purpose. Fighting Cynas in a blastership is stupid, and that goes for all of them...not a fault of the Proteus. Pick your fights, and don't get into fights you can't win.

PS: Yes, sometimes you get ganked too...it's Eve ;)

Why no friction extension sub jack? No love for the long scram?

Fair point.
