I am using the Gila as a primary tool for running anoms and basic ratting duty in Sansha space. Here is the setup I have now. I removed one low slot module to accommodate that particular nerf but I am having a great deal of difficulty in figuring out how to accommodate the -20 CPU nerf.

I have maxed the CPU skillset and am currently running at 98.7% CPU. Advice?

Please and Thank you!

You could try some of the cheap deadspace resist amps and resistance fields - that might help a bit

As long as your fit is at or below the 100% CPU level you are fine. There are no bonuses simply because you are using less CPU. To phrase that another way you only need CPU if you do not have enough to fit something you want / need so why stress out over your CPU?

so let me get this straight, you lost a low slot which most likely used 30 cpu but you lost 20 cpu from the fittings of the ship (i guess with skills goes to 30 , correct me if i'm wrong). i don't see how your fit changes tbhLol but anyway the tank or the dps gets a kick in the nuts so either go for dead space hardeners ( 20 ish mill a pop for more tank and less cpu ) or my fav faction dda's

I like the idea of putting a 'relatively' cheap dead-space hardener set for the CPU save. That may be the route to go. Thanks very much.

Here is the result. Traded out for some of the less expensive Faction and Dead Space modules, dropped the DCU and added the third Drone Damage back. Kept it in the +20 CPU range and left the extra low open for the nerf on server roleover.

Getting very close to 700 dps with drones and missiles and 45k EHP. With this fit I think the Gila (as a PvE boat) is still very viable.

I'm still confused as to why you have to worry about cpu at all. You're losing a low slot, that presumably used a 30 cpu item, while the overall ship lost 20 cpu. You have a net GAIN of 10 cpu...

I had recently switched from Light to Heavy missile set. It ate more CPU and would have made my fit not work. I could have gone back to the light missiles but I wanted the extra dps on sansha rats.

Everything works now, so I am happy with my boat. And since it is shield tanked to begin with I could safely remove the DCU II. Besides, if something is hitting me hard enough to get through the shields, then I probably don't need to be there in the first place. Have to understand that I am still a relatively new character without maxed skill sets. A year from now with everything for the ship at 5 this probably wouldn't have been an issue to begin with.

More bling, but better - the bling isnt even that much as the Piths and the navy extenders are relatively cheap.
The T2 Purgers are worth it.

With MY skills (not that great):
626 DPD
48.5k EHP against Sanshas,
Shield Passive recharge against 239 DPS from the rats

All skills lvl V:

689 DPS
54k EHP Vs Sanshas
passive shield regen : 293 DPS Vs Sansha.

I mostly use this for semi-AFK ratting and rarely, if ever use the missiles.
4 Hobgoblins in the drone bay to take care of some pesky frigates if needed (but then again, thats where the RLML comes into play too)


I normally just kill the first rat, Orbit its wreck at 50km, set drones to aggressive and do something else on my other monitor ;)

Rapid Light Missile Launchers are better than Heavies. At least as far as the Gila is concerned.
