hi, so this weekend i'll finally be able to learn large pulse laser specialisation Cool.

I currently have amarr battleships skilled up to level 3

I do not have t2 tank yet

I'll be flying an apocalypse with a set up along the lines of

8 mega pulse 2's with scorch + conflagration

3 x cap reharger 2's

1 x ab

3 x heat sink 2's

1 x dc 1

1 x large accomodation vestment armor repper

3 x cap control circuit 1

doing this from memory so pls forgive me if i have missed a low slot

the cap is stable with the ab off.

not sure what the dps will be but id imagine it will be around 575 or so.

I think you forgot the hardeners in there. 2 or 3 should suffice, even if they are t1. I'd skip on DCU if I were you though.

DPS seems about right for Sanshas and Blood Raiders. You might want to try a (Navy) Armageddon instead, it's RoF bonus adds up to an impressive damage output and range isn't much of an issue with Scorch and the 5 sentry drones (if you have 'em) are a nice addition too.

I'm not pro when it comes to amarr missions but i'm guessing, like anything, you'll want to watch for the close-in guys. I lost a couple T1 battleships in L4's early in my career to these buggers who web/scram and suddenly you're getting the full brunt of force from the rest of the ships.

Good luck, mate! Have fun!

first i would advice you to ask yourself: what if you get tackled by elite frigate? Incoming DPS is crazy, capacitor is getting dry, tank is getting overwhelmed.

Options:
1. small drones - NPC aggro makes it very tricky, you need some skills to kill these tacklers to be able to get out
2. Micro jump drive - personally i would prefer it to AB at least for start. No need to use it often, just having "last chance way out" is always good.

Try and see! Good luck

t2 large repair system is a short train, particularly next to the ttime needed to get t2 large guns. Train it.

Some first-hand PI tips

add

T2 Large Armor Repairer
T2 small drones
T2 Capacitor Booster with Cap Booster 800s (Heavy Electrochemical will pass but holds 4 charges and the T2 has 5)
T2 Armor hardeners

to your list

It's up to you what you train and in what order but if you are trying to get into Level 4's asap then training T2 large guns first was a huge mistake.

These should be your prioriities: T2 drones, T2 tank, getting more cap.

T2 large guns is what you get around the 20mill SP mark.
