Ships & Modules

Some of the eagle eyed ones of you on here may notice I recently uploaded a Rokh fit to Battleclinic... To be met by abuse, and I quote 'Poor Rokh'.

After sitting and browsing my fitting tool, I just can't seem to find the ship that's right for me, all I want is something that I can PvP in Null Sec primarily, and MAYBE the odd bit of PvE. The major skills (Electronics, Mechanics etc...) are all at 4, and I cannot use any T2 guns (16 hours for T2 lazors, blah). So I just want to know, what do you guys think I should go for? It's all starting to seem pointless now, having constant abuse thrown at my new Rokh.

Rokh is a tricky ship.

But mainly, if you dont have the skills dont fly a Battleship.

Get a frig/dessie.

You don't start pvping in 0.0/low in a battleship.

Ther's one thing i don't understand :

Rokh : Caldari Battleship Skill Bonus: 10% large hybrid optimal range per level and 5% shield resistance per level.

But you are training lasers, right ? So why not choosing a ship which has bonuses to lasers ?

What about the Maller for example ? http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Maller
Or the Omen : http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Omen
In fact it's hard to asnwer if you don't tell us which size of lasers you are about to T2...

What do you do when people decide to warp off?

If you are planning on learning PvP, fly cheap. Stick to T1 frigates, destroyers, and if you got a bit of wealth T1 cruisers. You may have some trouble finding viable frig targets in 0.0 (probably have better luck in low) but you will find some, and you will learn to run from much larger forces. It's not only possible it is very plausible to loose 5+ ships a day learning to PvP. Can you afford to lose multiple Rokhs? Not to mention all the T1 frigs have recently received a buff, making them pretty awesome. T1 cruisers will be getting a buff here in a few weeks.

If you want to PvE, dock up your PvP ship and undock with a different PvE ship. You will find very few instances where a fitting for a ship is acceptable for both PvP and PvE, it's the nature of EVE PvE. PvE fits usually have massive resist holes, no warp disrupt/scram, sometimes no prop mod, etc.

What? Please elaborate on how Nanite Repair Paste helps one win a fight. I find I do better in fights when my mods are not deactivated being repaired.

As a couple have already suggested, I wouldn't start out in a BS. Bad choice. Rokh is decent as a fleet sniper, but that's about it. Consider Rupture or Stabber, high meta weps and faction ammo. It's much cheaper, and until you feel your way thru you'll have the isk to experiment. But yeah, those are Minnie ships so you'll have some cross training to do. There's a reason why Minnie ships are used for people just getting their sea legs under themselves.
