Missions & Complexes

I'm currently doing amarr missions with a vindicator.
Great ship, with my skills I'm doing about 900 dps with 425mm T2 guns from 20km, sniping frigates with FN antimatter L.

I put a few days of skilling for a nightmare and I can get into one.

Because of the fitting layout, I can fit a better tank (my vindicator fit is shield based, which isn't a lot of tank) and a MWD, but with my set of current skills, I will do about 790 dps with drones (almost 900 once I get the BS and guns skill to 4) at 38km.

Currently I don't really need to warp out of missions because of my tank, and on some missions (blockade) I do need assistance from a friend since I can't hit anything at all.

Reason to go to a nightmare is the EM damage, can fit a better tank, and even get a MWD or AB on to get between gates when its needed.

I plan to fit it pretty standard with meta4 guns for now and faction heat sinks/TE/TC, and a heavy or medium nos just for the bit extra caps (I don't know if I can fully drain an NPC, its just an idea to try, but its nice to get some extra caps in).

Reason not to is because I like my vindi. But if I get a nightmare and spec it to missions, I can set my vindicator to incursions blaster dps and do those as well from time to time.

So, is it worth going that way?

i am new to the Nightmare and it works. my fitting is a bit expensive but fun

flying the nightmare fitting wise is 100% game play style

most fly with a cap booster and a XL shield booster.

not many use the pithum a-type sb in consunctions with faction tachs so they can run cap stable

all of the above use tachs

some use a similar fit to above with mega pulse 2's

and finally VERY few use cap power relays o make their Large/XL shield boosters cap stable


I highly suggest less is more.

look me up in game if you want some agent pointers.

this.

I used to do missions in gallente space. Hence the vindicator.
I moved to amarr space for now, which is the reason why i'm considering switching to a nightmare.
I have a good set of skills for both armor and shield tanking, and good gunnery skills, so switching isn't that hard. Only problem was is it worth going, as a nightmare and gearing it does cost a billion+.
