Thanks for the bug report,

I have been unable to observe any negative difference in cap usage between the two fits you provided in the thread. However I did see that the reduced web strength was having a minor effect on the speed at which I could destroy the NPC.

Hope this helps!

If NOS is broken there won't be any difference between two current fits.

A small T2 NOS at optimal should provide 4GJ/s cap recharge. It isn't. Not even 0.5GJ/s. AKA broken.

And 'negative difference in cap usage'? Doesn't even sound like he/she was testing NOS.

[edit] Still haven't gotten another Cruor burner... would be nice to post some neut cycle time numbers with/without NOS.

as u kite the dram with this u have a small transversal. you have to be over 840 m/s with the ab. so perhaps check ur imps and made an upgrade to a faster ab.

so drop a HS for an overdrive to get over the 840 m/s and/or replace the ab. should be working.

Still no Cruor burner, but I did some testing on Ashimmu burner today, and medium NOS are definitely working as intended.

I then hopped in the test Jag and found a belt rat... the exact same results as posted previously, small NOS are either completely broken or working at less than 10% rated effectiveness.

The Jag tests were conducted within optimal, the Gila vs Ashimmu test was within 500m of optimal.

Murphy please give me a Cruor burner Sad

FWIW:
Without NOS the Gila hit 16-17GJ peak before neut cycle finished.
With NOS it was ~70 or ~110GJ depending on if one or two NOS cycles finished.

I tested out the same medium NOS on a belt rat and it wasn't working.

At this point the only explanation that makes sense is that some (but not all) burners have been given a NOS immune flag and/or cap warfare resistance that wasn't there previous to March update. Goodness knows what other entities have have changed also.

Is this intended?

I have a NOS fit succubus that I use for worm burner, but haven't tried it out since this fiasco started. Will test it next time I see one, of course now it'll join the cruor in the list of burners I've jinxed myself out of...

Also, will bug report it.

I haven't considered nos to be effective vs npcs since the nos nerf in 07 or 08. The only ship I have it on is my gila for the blood base, and that was just because I thought it might generate enough aggro to keep the ashimmu from shooting my drones, any cap it gives is just a bonus to fuel my target painter.

thats right, but sometimes you are in need to get more cap and cant use a booster.

As of the last patch, I've been unable to kill the Dramiel with a unified daredevil (unable to track it well enough). Most likely due to the web change.

I'm late to the party, but for me, a week ago, NOSes were working exactly the same as pre-patch on Burner NPCs. I have one on my anti-Cruor fit to power my web and I had no issues.

Finally got another Cruor burner, just let it orbit me at ~3200m for about 5 minutes with web/guns inactive.

No NOS: cap maxed out at 6-7GJ every 5 sec neut cycle.
With small compact NOS: cap maxed out at 8-12GJ every neut cycle (depending on 1 or 2 NOS cycles). 4000m optimal.

So it's working, but only just... and nowhere near as well as it was before March patch. Appears to only drain 1-2GJ per cycle instead of the pre-patch 9GJ.

Also, I refit the NOS for a rocket launcher and was still able to keep an Enduring webber running.

At this point I think I'll just train hybrids and buy some daredevils.

Well as of March 21st, or sometime in the week before this date, the Anomic Base "Destroy the Burner Ashimmu and its Henchmen" has changed quite much. The sentinels AND the ashimmu agress drones 100% of the time. I have been using a average fit Gila from this thread for a long time and never lost more than 2-3 tech 1 Vespas. Today I lost all tech 1 Vespas AND my t2 GTFO Vespas all while pointed, thus losing my Gila. I then bought another gila, went in to finish the ashimmu as his sentinels were already dead. Upon deploying my drones he immediately aggressed my vespa 1's again and killed 2 of them before I killed him. So basically from what I am seeing, drones get full agro 100% of the time in this mission now.

Is anyone else seeing this change or did I just experience a crazy ****** random AI issue today?

has been a pretty good chance at that happening for months now. And according to one of my posts it has almost always been possible. Drone hate is pretty strongly coded into the burner AI. I carry a mobile depot and a cargo full of t1 drones to make sure I can get the job done. When did the orthrus get nerfed? I think Anize Oramara made an orthrus fit for the mission because of that, or maybe it was an onyx? Some comments on page 48 about drone aggro and that was in mid december, cba to scroll back any more right now. but somewhere before then it seemed to become a more common issue.

Managed to kill guristas burner. I am quite far away from all-5 and it took like 500m to find a key. So I am sort of proud of myself. Anyway, let's explain to newbies like me, WHY this fit looks like it does.

Scram - must have if no matar frigs 5 learned. If he has the same speed as you, you are dead having Void S.
I do not know if matar-V will work at all, honestly. If matar frigs is less than 5, you should probably replace one rig with thruster to be fast enough to orbit the worm and load Caldary Navy Antimmater S instead of Void S.

BEFORE you jump there,
1 heat your scram,
2. set default orbit to 500 (trust me, you will actually orbit him at 1600)
3. heat mwd.
right after the jump immediately (!!!) turn on your hardeners, or you will be dead in one shot.
check where this bastard is, press orbit, make sure you starting to move toward him, turn on mwd. try not to miss scram distance. Having the distance like 7000, turn off the heat on mwd, on 5k turn off the heat on scram.
Ofc do not forget to repair and replenish capacitor.
So, you are orbiting him on ~1600? Now it is the time to heat your guns. You are not in a hury anymore, just be cool and do not panic. Heat your weapon for 10 shots, turn the heat off, repeat.

Let's imagine you've lost the ship (welcome to the club) and eager to have your revenge. Before you warp in, try to remember, how far from mission beacon you were killed. The far it happen, the worser is the situation, because this fit is quite short on cap. try to reach him as fast as possible, maybe even burning mwd away.


P.S.: this is actually my first fit which is maid totally by myself and tuned after losing another ship. I started with comet, and managed to reach and pin him down, but it seems that comet requires all-V skill to do enough damage. Or, may be, I just have to think a bit more.
P.P.S.: on the second thought, It dawn to me that your friend on armor griffin loaded with anti-kinetic in lows and full stack of ECM jammers could be much better answer...

imo it is better to just approach the guristas burner so you don't lose any damage to transversal, at blaster range it just tries to fly away in a straight line so you get good hits.

also it really helps to heat the hardeners for the first cycle or two, if you break ~5km/s you are faster than the missiles and you can get hit by 2 at the same time.

MWD I always heat it for the first cycle, and using the recommended fit with max skills and a zor's I get into scram range with one MWD cycle. with lower skills I'd guess you are close but probably should run a 2nd MWD cycle with the heat off. 5mn MWDs generate a lot of heat so I wouldn't try to do more than 1 cycle heated. Also you can typically activate the scram slightly before you get into range

also the burner is always directly behind you so if you turn the camera backwards in warp you should be facing it.

last thing with only 2 guns and an empty high the daredevil can heat for a very long time. I typically turn my heat on as soon as I start shooting and forget about it.

Well I figured out what happened and what I did wrong. This one time I deployed my drones too fast before I started shooting with my rapid lights. So yeah, you have to get 2-3 volleys off with missles then deploy drones. The mission is back to what I am used too. I also now carry a mobile depot with 20 extra Vespa I's just in case I have issues again in the future. I also have 3 warp core stabs in cargo for GTFO.

Looks like orbiting was a wrong decision.

Only on the first try. Every subsequent leaves him near your new wreck.

With appropriate thermodinamic skill. Even with blaster-empty-blaster it is a bit complicated to me.
Thanks for advices.
