Vague query about Loki rig selection

I've been EFT warrioring recently trying to figure out the various ways I could/would fit a Loki. After I got a few potential fits set up I realized that I was going to be limited by my choice of rigs. So far I have two fits--one for PvE and one for PvP--that both use Shield Extender rigs. I've also come up with one other PvP fit that uses CCCs. I don't want to post the fittings because I'd basically be giving away my setup to the people most likely to find me in space and kill me.

So what I'm asking is, for those who've flown Lokis, what rigs do you use on yours and what purposes do you use it for? I'm trying to find the most versatile option, allowing for as many different purposes as I can. But at the same time I don't want to gimp the fits just to have that versatility. Eventually I'll have separate T3s for PvE and PvP, but for now I'm trying to get the most I can out of this single hull.

Yep thats pretty much how it goes for PvP. For Pve a mix of Nanopumps and CCCs..


Shield lokis suck.

Thanks, I'll try out some fits with those combinations of rigs. I didn't really look at anything with an armor buffer yet.

T2 trimarks for PvP web lokis

T2 field extenders for PvP web+arty loki

Most likely CCC if you want to PvE, but I'd suggest using a different ship

For PvP I prefer trimarks.

Now for PVE you would probably use shields and want to plug the resist holes.
If you NEED CCCs, then I would wait a bit for a Loki.

no, you didnt. there are no Loki PVP fits that use CCCs.
for PVP the rigs are basically 3x trimarks, 3x extenders or extender/kin res/exp res. always T2.
some arty fits are also ok to fit with an acr.

There is no Bob.

I didn't say it was a good fit. P

I guess I need to look at T2 rig prices, have never actually used one before. This thread has been very helpful though, thanks everyone.

Pve shield loki works for c3, however, it's painfully slow to pve in a loki since autocannons suck and arties are even worse. Go train up for a tengu.

It's likely that if I ever upgrade to a T3 for wormhole PvE it would be a Tengu, because that's a nice progression from the Drake. My Loki will have two initial purposes, null ratting and cloaky pvp. Depending on my rig experiment, that may end up being two actual hulls.

Cloaky Loki is a lot of fun! As mentioned earlier Trimarks or Extenders ftw.
