Ships & Modules

Hey guys,

I am trying to find a strong enough dps/tank fit that I can solo sansha haven sites in a quick and safe manor. I am using a t1 Apoc fit which can do Sansha Forsaken Hubs solo, but slowly. I don't mind spending some isk, but can't fly marauders quite yet. Here is the apoc fit I've been using, Sansha Gamma L for close range and Imp Navy Microwave L for long range (keeps me cap stable):

You can either upgrade to a Apoc Navy Issue or a Nightmare. Navy Apoc is not as expensive as the nightmare and is very similar to your current ship, it just has easier fitting and an extra low for an extra damage mod. Nightmare is far better and can put out really impressive dps, but you need to have good shield tanking skills and is quite expensive.

However you should really get T2 Large Pulses A.S.A.P, usually the only ammo you need is IN Multi and Scorch (and maybe IN Gamma)

if your previous fit was working tankwise why you need another extra repper?
fit another heat sink

other than that i think the abaddon would be the better choice

Its really all about tracking. If you have a gun that does 1000 dps, but tracks for garbage, vs a gun that does 200 dps but has excellent tracking, generally the weaker gun will do better (your less reliant on luck and/or flying skills). Alot dependent on your flying skills, the angular velocity of the enemy, etc. I'd consider a tracking computer, but I would not sack your cap for it.


I'd increase the tracking to make sure your guns connect consistently at a range you like, then up the damage (this is PVE, faster they die, better off you are). I'd probably fit more tracking, as the jump to T2 guns will be in itself a substantial damage increase).

Other than that, if your tracking and repair stability's good, you should be good to go.

For those who say "More damage", my general logic is "Aint no amount of damage mods going to help if you miss every damn shot".
