armor tank a lachlesis and fit damps in the spare midslots... We do it and it works wonders..

The reason people fly shields is because plates make your ships heavy as balls and between the old shield ishtar tengu shield ishtars meta there wasnt really a reason to armor tank...

Thank god thats over so we can now go back to being annoyed at other aspects of eve...

One of the main reasons big fleets fly shield and not armor is because of the lack of higher EHP long point and long web variants of the combat recons.

There should be armor variants of the Lachesis and Huginn.


Technically the Lachesis is an armor variant of itself, people just like to put shields on it.

My Armour Lachesis has 55K EHP 4 damps and 2 points/scrams... Seems fine to me.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

Armor recons suck! End of story.
When was the last time any of you saw one in a ahac/t3 or BS fleet?
Let's be honest, most group will use an ashimmu or a loki for webs and put ewar on unbonused dps ships instead of bringing a single recon.
They just don't have the EHP to last in a stand up brawl but it doesn't mean we need to create a new ship for a problem that has been solved ages ago.

Yesterday evening... Call it 12 hours ago... We formed up to stomp on some nubs out in nullsec behind our static and just as we were about to throw down they all docked up or something... Wasnt really paying attention to that part of the operation as i was driving the logi... Next question
