So i have just joined CALFW and having a lot of fun. But ISK is a little hard to come by so i have decided to run missions. Now i can sit in a Manticore and have what i think to be decent skills. I havent settled on a fit so thats what i need help with! Any advice on my fitting and running missions is welcome. Also if anyone in cal fw would like to help me (show me the ropes of running missions in-game just shoot me an eve-mail :)

When you say 'Running Missions', are you referring to regular Agent missions or Factional Warfare missions ?

Too many sebos. In the mids you want a MWD, Medium Shield Extender, Thermal Resist Amp, Sebo with range script.

Gal mil rats use a lot of damps though right so dont i need the sebos? And since i will be squishy no matter what is it even worth it to use the shield extender?

I've only ever needed one sebo. You could just join Mimatar militia, the Amarr FW rats only tracking disrupt which has no effect on missiles.

You're using the right fit, just google fw mission guide and find out which missions are harder and skip them.

Any other tips or trick i should know? And also would i be worth it to be an target painter on replacing on of the sebos?

The targets you'll be shooting are either big structures, fat industrials, or battleships - no painter needed tbh. Manticore is fine. You'll bank a lotta iskies with that bomber.

Always remember to start immediately burning off the warpin; in some missions there will be a spawn of frigs and such that pop up within 20km of the warpin partway through the mission. That can really ruin a paper thin bomber's day.

Drop Cal militia, join Minnie Militia.

46km isn't very far. Have you trained for T2 torps? Javelins can reach our further, and Rage torps have even better dps.

^^ Thats right. Also, you'll get jammed, so you probably want that extra speed for maneuvering your range. Or as suggested, join the farmmatars.

I'm in it for the money

He won't get jammed. Gallente FW rats don't jam, just sensor damp. 60km isn't bad, but the longer the range the better.

Here is some food for thought:

Ever thought about using Polorized Torp Launchers?

Here is a fit but requires Geno set, or +3 PG implant.

[Manticore, FW PVE]

Ballistic Control System II
Ballistic Control System II

Sensor Booster II, Targeting Range Script
Sensor Booster II, Targeting Range Script
5MN Cold-Gas Enduring Microwarpdrive
Medium F-S9 Regolith Compact Shield Extender

Polarized Torpedo Launcher, Scourge Javelin Torpedo
Polarized Torpedo Launcher, Scourge Javelin Torpedo
Polarized Torpedo Launcher, Scourge Javelin Torpedo
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
[Empty High slot]

Small Ancillary Current Router II
Small Warhead Rigor Catalyst II

Targeting range is 213km. Gonna take a few damps to bring that down under 75km.

DPS with Javs is 575 w/ 91km
DPS with Rage is 864 w/ 50km range
DPS with Faction torps is 734 w/ 60km range
