I never use turrets so tell me if I messed something up.
Well, those graphs seem to be against a 125m signature orbiting at 20km with 600m/s traversal, creating an unique situation where Scorch really shines. If you lower the traversal, Artillery wins. And if you lower the distance, auto cannons win.


That Stabber is running with an MWD, so closer to 1000m sig radius.

As long as ANY amount of transversal exists in that situation, the Scorch has better/equal DPS to the arty. Drop the transversal to 0, and arty wins.

i was under the impression that we are talking strictly pve here. mission rats never orbit at 600m/s, in fact, they usually die while approaching you with ~0 transversal. in practice, your damage application rarely suffers from tracking issues, unless you're using railguns without tracking mods (or maneuver into your own dead zone on purpose).


Oh, I didn't know PvE was THAT different from PvP, that explains some things.

Ignore me then, fly that sexy cane model

Spreadsheets do not exist in this dojo. :D


Two rolls of duct tape; one for my ship, and the other for unruly ride-alongs.

MJD Sentry Domi for everything except L1 missions (where you can complete them with a T1 sentry Vexor before the Domi has finished jumping.

It's never too soon to get into bigger ships. If a mission can be completed in a cruiser, it can be completed in a battlecruiser. They use the same sized guns, and the battlecruiser can fit more of them so you can one-shot all the little frigates with your artillery in one salvo. Sure, you won't have the skills to fly that battlecruiser or battleship in L4 missions, but a hurricane will blitz L2 missions like nobody's business, and L3 missions are built for battlecruisers and battleships.

Nothing beats the MJD sentry Domi when it comes to cruising through lower level missions. There's plenty of room for growing into the hull too, since you start of with T1 everything. The shield on an unskilled Domi is enough to buffer through most L2 and many L3 missions, so the young pilot can even take their time about skilling into shield or armour tanking. Then there's that 100km gap you open up with the MJD, which means you don't actually need tanking skills at all.

The downside of using over-sized ships? Travel time. The Dominix is a battleship which means it handles like a cow stuck in mud. Smaller ships travel faster, but require better player and character skills. You can indeed finish L4 missions in an Assault Ship but it will take forever and one mistake will cost you that ship.

As for the OP wanting to make a little ISK to become self-sufficient: check the Making ISK guide.
