Ships & Modules

for pve the sleip can do L4 and other contents just fine, it's just not as good as a machariel or others bigger hulls.
for pvp it's just too expensive to be used on the front lines, most of the ppl will use something cheaper.

it's not a bad ship it's just hard to justify the high-ish price tag.

im going to leave this here.

A PvE Sleipnir is decent although it really shines in PvP as in Ralphs video, it's capable of a massive capless tank as well as up to 800+ capless dps which makes it a really hard to kill, hard hitting ship.

The time it would take to train the skills for a Sleipnir just for PvE are definitely not worth it as there are better options such as the Machariel and the command skills aren't going to be very useful in most PvE circumstances. However if you're adamant on a PvE Sleipnir you can get quite decent stats for pretty cheap, something like this:

Hobgoblin II x5

350dps omni tank (cap lasts like 11min w/o AB, so it's basically stable) which is more than enough for any L4 if you fit mission specific hardeners. Does 800dps @ 19km, 650dps @ 45km and around 350dps @ 87km (lock range). It's quite slow with only an afterburner but you have the fitting to slap an MWD on there, you can also use 2 rapid lights instead of 2 HMs to help clean up frigs more easily. It's also got a really nice 6k alpha so you can one shot some of the weaker cruisers which is really satisfying and you dont have to deal with them repping up in between shots, you can also split your guns and one shot multiple frigs at range.

not my video dude, all credit to Mr Hyde113.

I am in awe. That was absolutely beastly.

Yeah I meant the video you linked. I phrased it badly.

Uwotm8.

Quite a few of the CS are excellent.

The Abso has the tank of a TIII but with more DPS, the Damnation has the DPS of the Sac with ludicrous buffer and dual neuts, the Sleipnir is an Arty Cane but better in every way including TIII level resists and the Vulture is a rail Eagle on steroids and with an MJD option.

They are also cheaper than TIIIs and come with no SP loss element.

Also the point of ships like CS is people overblob you and then you kill them regardless.

Absos short range...

Absos deal 855DPS at 7.5k through to 497 at 54k with no range mods.

Shadow made great use of Arty Sleips and rep-gus because of there excellent buffer, resists and alpha.

Balex makes good use of the HAM Damnation when a Sacriledge does not have enough tank for what they are facing.

So no CS aren't useless, they just need to be supported, like any other ship really.

What a scrub you are. Lost dps on the sleipnir, haha. Honestly, if you know what you're doing, the Sleipnir, the Claymore and the Eos are absurdly strong solo-choices, the Nighthawk (HAM+capstable dual med neuts), Astarte and Abso are amazing once you got a 10+ man fleet ready and the vulture is like a T2 railgu with a MJD, and railgus are amazing already.

So, if you really need an alt to hard tackle something for your sleipnir to hit, then you should start NOW training motion prediction beyond level II. Or read up on how tracking works. I've shot orbiting frigates at 500m down by just keeping align and capping out their webs, sure you can do the same.

To give you numbers: Pre-Buff Sleipnir (all V mainly) 550dps with faction since you could either fit a 900mil pimpboat with 3 RF Gyros or a 2 Gyro fit for 380mil which results in said dps, Post-Buff Sleipnir wth 3 gyros even the cheap way has 650dps with faction and way higher resists. Bottom line: You can now have a significantly superior sleipnir for the same money, or you can have a slightly improved old pimpsleip, just that it now only costs you 300mil instead of 900mil.

yeah the sleip is all kinds of NOPE, particularly when it has neuts in the utility highs.
