Some background info:
The gunnery skills I have at V are
Gunnery V
Medium Projectile/Laser V (Autocannon and Artillery specialization are at IV each.)

Support Skills are the following
AWU I (WU 5 goes without saying but somebody won't read or something.)
Motion Prediction IV
Sharpshooter IV
Surgical Strikes III
Controlled Bursts III
Rapid Firing III
Trajectory Analysis II

T2 Lasers are 2 days away. just ******** lazy to train them. (Shoring up support skills first)

All of my core fitting skills are at V, along with Repair Systems at IV. Most of my compensation skills are at II but I use an active hardener fit so that doesn't help much.

Also, I just did an Int/Mem remap a few weeks ago and would rather not bounce back to Percep/Will because that would kill the point of the remap in the first place. I have a free remap available but I'd rather not touch that because I'm unsure what will happen after it goes away. (Do I go on timer or what?)

Now, the meat of this question. I'm not sure which Legion fit to go with. (All subsys skills are at V cept for Propulsion.)

This one, which has a monster of a tank

[Legion, Blingion I]
Corelum C-Type Medium Armor Repairer
Damage Control II
Armor Kinetic Hardener II
Armor Explosive Hardener II
Power Diagnostic System II
Corelum C-Type Medium Armor Repairer

Cap Recharger II
Gistum C-Type 10MN Afterburner
Cap Recharger II
Optical Tracking Computer I, Tracking Speed

Focused Medium Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Multifrequency M
Focused Medium Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Multifrequency M
Focused Medium Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Multifrequency M

Medium Capacitor Control Circuit II
Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump II
Medium Nanobot Accelerator I

Legion Electronics - Tactical Targeting Network
Legion Defensive - Nanobot Injector
Legion Engineering - Augmented Capacitor Reservoir
Legion Offensive - Liquid Crystal Magnifiers
Legion Propulsion - Fuel Catalyst

Or this one, which has less tank but moar Spank

[Legion, Blingion II]
Corelum C-Type Medium Armor Repairer
Damage Control II
Armor Kinetic Hardener II
Armor Explosive Hardener II
Power Diagnostic System II
Imperial Navy Heat Sink

Cap Recharger II
Gistum C-Type 10MN Afterburner
Cap Recharger II
Optical Tracking Computer I, Optimal Range

Heavy Pulse Laser II, Multifrequency M
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Multifrequency M
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Multifrequency M
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Multifrequency M
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Multifrequency M

Medium Capacitor Control Circuit II
Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump II
Medium Ancillary Current Router I

Legion Electronics - Tactical Targeting Network
Legion Defensive - Nanobot Injector
Legion Engineering - Augmented Capacitor Reservoir
Legion Offensive - Liquid Crystal Magnifiers
Legion Propulsion - Fuel Catalyst

I change my hardeners to mission specific hardeners, so I don't have a problem with that.

Also, a somewhat on-topic question: Are Imperial Navy Crystals worth it? I use primarily Multi, Ultraviolet and right now, Microwave. I know each crystal gets 4000 shots but where I am, crystals ain't cheap.

What I use the Legion for:
Exploration, yes I have the Emergent Locus Analyzer subsys.
Blitzing Missions
Screwing around in L3s. (Some days I like having a MWD)

Thoughts, guys?

o_o For all the uses you listed these are way over tanked. You should have 3 heatsinks. You can even roll through L4 missions without all the stuff you have. Just use two mission specific hardeners and one repairer. If you are nervous you can even use rigs to increase your tank but you probably don't need to do that even. Im not sure if you have the skills or not for it but if you do I would use HAMs instead. You can get the same DPS while being able to switch damage types and have an easier time with capacitor management as well as longer range :D.

Not sure about the ammo though!

FMPII's or HPLII's work fine for missions. Try this fit: http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/49347-Pimpin-L4-800-DPS-Legion.html

I use a variation of this but honestly as long as you fly it with common sense you will be fine. Move around on the mods as needed for price. Hope this helps, message me in game if you need more fits and I will send you a few.

Just gonna go down the list.

Kietay: I don't gots HAM or Missile Skills beyond 2/3 at all and I'm trained for T2 Lasers for the most part. I'd also rather overtank then go lose a ship because I was a tool.

Danny John-Peter: Yeah, that bugs me too, a lot but I'm cautious and would rather not be "Oh, I made a mistake and now I am teh ded."

GenesisMilke: I was actually playing around with a set up to similar to that but not sold on it.

Istvaan Shogaatsu: This is why I watch D-Scan in empire. Guess it can't help the 'raped' factor at gates/stations though. How can I improve it so it doesn't Die in a fire easily from a casual ganksquad? If its people who know what they're doing, **** it, I was boned regardless of what I was flying.

Don't fit 2 deadspace reps. You don't need them. Also, I'm not sure how I feel about deadspace ABs. Only fancy stuff you need are two faction heat sinks. Someone could still gank you for the lulz, but it wouldn't really be very profitable.

Theoretically in an EFT lolfit, I've pushed the Legion's tank to something like 2000+ omni and cap stable. There's no situation where that's helpful. (In PvP, the low buffer + neuts would stomp that.)

T2 lasers are a must because you have to be able to use Scorch. Navy Multifreq is also worth it because they shoot a fair bit before running out. If you're super cheap, carry a set of regular multifreq for whenever you get one of those kill a structure with a million HP missions/plex.

@SpaceSqurriels
Yes, I know I need AWU V. Its on the list after...

T2 Drones, Armor Comps to IV, Targeting, and that's just off the top of my head. I get it, believe me. I want AWU IV at the least but I'm not Will/Percep and just remapped like two weeks ago.

T2 Lasers, alright, that sums that up. Thanks.

Mike, I think this fit is good but you can swap to the Augmented Capacitor resevoir fit an ACR for the CCC I and drop the large cap battery and still be stable, Should free a mid for a web or another tracking comp.

OP

If youhave to try two reps try the meditation reppers they have better fitting and cap use. Less rep but still with two it should be more than enough.

I would recommend a faction afterburner also, prob Republic Fleet.

Few things of note:

- the Legion is terrible doing missions because it has no range and no drones, not saying it can't do them but you'll waste lots of time and be mediocre while doing it. Just not logical
- I see explosive/kin resists, that makes me assume you do missions in minnie space (otherwise your tanking numbers aren't realistic), in which case you lasers are useless. Using lasers against Minmatar targets is easily the worst combo you can think of.

There are no redeeming reasons for using a Legion in lvl 4 missions, your range is crap, your damage types are limited and your T3 resists don't mesh well with your damage type. Using a legion for Incursions makes full sense but requires a different approach ofcourse but don't bother buying one for lvl 4 missions.

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

Legion's own cap of targets is pretty low IIRC. Keep that in mind.

You need a 1600mm plate, I'd suggest trading the DC for it. Go with the PG subsystem. You shouldn't need the AB with decent logi pilots, but even with that replaced for a sebo or TC you still benefit from the FC prop SS's better agility than the chassis SS.

I don't recall off of the top of my head if you could easily fit the plate with the CC eng SS, you might need the PG from the ACR one, but the weaker your fleet is the more cap time/stability you'll need.
Blitz legions only need a few mins cap per site but also are high SP chars that are almost if not completely stable using conflag for >850dps @20km anyway (4 heatsinks, 2 locus rigs, 2TCs, TLs on you from Oni). Only the jamming frigs seem to neut and usually they're primary and gone before they would neut you too much to keep shooting and recover cap.

Pimp the web to fed navy asap. Don't forget generic and medium-laser-specific damage implants.

which would render me cap stable, meaning Guardians can cap up someone else. I would need more levels of energy gun rigging with AWU to get the second optimal rig, unfortunately.


Also, Maud'dib, getting "Good" Heavy assault missiles will require about a month of training. I can use T2 Pulse today. Straight I do want to build a Bricksupertackle Legion but that won't be for a looong time due to finances.

The better your legion, the better fleets you'll be able to access, the higher your isk/hour. You could earn a T2 legion in an evening, at least one very nicely fitted one in a week easily. Set your training to what you want to access to fly, your isk earning rate still has plenty of headroom but you'll soon hit the +5s training SP rate cap.

Dropping the AB for a SeBo is a function of how well you trust the logi pilots you're with. A legion only needs the AB for non-Vanguard sites and if you're doing an OTA when logi problems strike. Else there should be plenty of reps about in either NCOs or NMCs. This is every more of a no-brainer once you're in a fleet with nice offgrid ganglinks running. So try find some reliable regulars to let you bring a more efficient fit. There's no need for legions to even move in NCOs. The SeBo really helps once you're talking about legion fleets contesting legion fleets.

As for cap, I wasn't expecting you'd be fed any anyway, I'm used to running only with Oneiros support, we dps-tank by just melting everything asap with those bonused Tracking Links on us. I suggest you aim for such fleets too, as frankly flying in mixed/other armour fleets is holding back your legion. We can safely win contested sites going in 8 wrecks late with just 6 dps ships and 1 logi on grid again bad NCO fleets.

See how stable you are by EFTing swapping 1 CCC for an EM rig, and swapping the EM hardener for a HS or TE. Also know that the top a-type passive energised thermic hardeners are only ~60mil (same ballpark as your HSs/web) iirc and will also help your cap, as well as make your tank unable to be neuted off/forgotten to be turned on as you jump systems. You really should be able to get stable with the 3rd HS, and when you get to good fleets you'll find any stability issues that the 4th one might bring are again solved by the sheer dps your fleet's applying to the frigates.

You may want a PG implant, or to use a 'bailey' 1600mm plate. Also faction TCs and SeBo. With just 5% medium laser 2.5-Gamma and 5% all turret dps G2-Delta that's 860dps at ~20km, before heat. With 6%s and heat, 9 legions are pushing >9000dps applied well against frigates once you factor in 8TLs per fleet. Just graph how well large guns track 62m sigs with any transversal before you suggest other ships come close. The Abso is the only other dps contender and it has huge tradeoffs.
A CX- rather than -Delta implant might also make a small difference to your cap use. There is of course the -Beta line of implants to directly reduce your gun cap use too, but they clash with the AX- tracking implant line.
For every little help in a contest, Synth drugs are legal in all space, for 3% bonuses to cap/tracking/sig reduction, etc and will last up to an hour per use.

I have not mentioned officer modules yet but you can find yourself contesting such levels of isk & min-maxing in incursions. Also people using High Grade Slave implant sets to be able to remove the plate and free up a lowslot.

Don't fly what you can't afford to lose, Concord only provides consequences, have a spare logi trailing you, fly what is fun to you, etc Blink

I would suggest getting the below all to at least 4 first, controlled bursts to 5(think that was the one for cap usage) and I hope Energy systems Operation is to 5. Then I would head back to a fit tool and start over. You will save some iskies and frustrations.
BTW, don't think you can fit a T2 tracking computer unless you have TA to 4.
