I would like to build a ship that could take me on (semi)-AFK trips from one edge of New Eden to the other, fast.

I need high subwarp speed, and high warp speed. High agility is a plus.

Pricerange as high as 200-300M.

What do you have, forum?

Cheetah with nanos in the lows, some agility rigs, a MWD set to F1, and a rock holding the F1 key down.

Not good. AFK as away from EVE, but doing other stuff requiring the PC.

There you go, 814m/s speed with no need to press F1, 13 AU warp speed.
Just plot course to avoid low/null sec, stick it on autopilot.

Haha, classic.

Personally, I'd stick some passive shield resist modules on there for insurance in case of gatecamp.

Use your favourite interceptor - ships built for speed with high agility and warp speed. The claw example above is perfect.


Or... plan ahead and use a jump clone!

I was wondering if the Gallente Atron for the cheapo option or it's T2 version, Taranis, might do the job nicely here. What races can you fly?

Or you could use a shuttle. It's almost like it was built for specifically this purpose. Almost.

(Granted that claw is way faster.)

#11 - 2012-03-02 16:31:35 UTC
a shuttle is really risky if you get close to any trade hub.

for example, on my way to jita i usually see 1 - 2 suicide gatecamps with trashers killing small ships/industrials of old characters to get the KM of the Pod. i know 2 jumps away theres some pirates killing pods all the time, and no, being on a noobcorp wont save you. hell, i've seen this on my way to dodi lately, wich is a ghost town compared to jita. and keep in mind that if you lose a ship the pod stops flying and they will have time to reship / swich to a -10 char and come back for the pod.

if you want to move fast any old character with any other implants besides +4s, i wouldnt use anything but a cruiser. with nanos on the lows they can be quite fast and will survive any destroyer camp.

if you have less than a bill on implants, go for an interceptor with high passive resists, no real need to rig for speed. diminishing returns will hurt if you stack too many +speed mods, and nanos are more than enough if you are shield tanked.

Pretty much any T1 or T2 interceptor hull or Dram will do just fine. Fit it with nanos and overdrives and such. Personally I use an Atron for quick runs to the market and such with 100m3 cargo room, since it's cheap, but any quick frig really works just fine.

just use a rifter. 6au/s base warp speed, 3x rig slots for moar warp speed, 3xlows for nanos, wideley available and so cheap it's practically throwaway. i got about a dozen of them lying around in various stations, some of them with deadspace ABs (because **** you).

I should buy an Ishtar.

Too many sucide gankers in High sec as of late. I would highly suggest you don't AFK travel in anything that doesn't have a huge tank.

You want to travel from one side to another. Get a jump clone. You can bounce back and forth every 24 hours and its instantainous. You can also have about 6 of them depending on skill.

Don't screw around with people who have nothing to lose... and for gods sake never... go afk traveling in anything other than battlecruser +

Check my loss mails for confirmaiton of people blowing you out of the sky in high sec.

Good point about sticking on shield extenders on the Claw. 2 Med Shield Extender II will give 5543 EHP.

If you prefer to go cheapo:

737m/s. 10.4 AU/s, 3947 EHP

Cheetah is also a good choice, faster warp speed than Claw, but slower velocity.
Dramiel is meh, slower both in warp speed and velocity than Claw for several times the price.

Get the best of both worlds - skill up a few jump clones and then over the course of a week use an Ares (or other "speedy" interceptor) with warp rigs, Overdrives/Nanos in the lows and an MWD to "seed" your JCs at the cardinal points of New Eden. If you're AFKing blank jump clones AFK from A to B you'll lose a lot less isk if you get AFK-podded with implants in your head, and you'll be set for future super-fast transport in the event that you need to, say... get from Khanid space to Rens in 30 seconds or less.
While my personal preference is the Ares, a warp speed rigged Vigil gets the job done just as well for a fraction of the price.

For extended AFK AP your non-warp non-MWD speed matters a lot more than your warp velocity or MWD velocity, as the vast majority of any AP session is the 12-13km from warp-out to the gate. In this respect, Real Speed matters a heck of a lot more than agility - my Ares can pull 770 m/s with the MWD off ( 5292 m/s with it on); I'm sure the minmatar "speedy" interceptor can go faster.

I have used a similar Vigil for this before.

I would pick a ceptor. I like the claw fit + MSE, but I would like to add a few points.

Claw v Stiletto

Claw has more low slots = more prop upgrades to get you to gate faster on autopilot. Also more base speed than Stiletto.

Stiletto has higher warp speed = gets you to final destination faster.

I would use a Stiletto like this:

[Stiletto, AFK Autopilot]
Overdrive Injector System II
Overdrive Injector System II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II

Medium Shield Extender II
Magnetic Scattering Amplifier II
Heat Dissipation Amplifier II
Kinetic Deflection Amplifier II

[empty high slot]

Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I
Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I

Speed: 715 m/s
Align: 2.8 s
Warp Speed: 19.4 au/s
EHP: 5433 omni



Let's compare that to a similar claw fit:

[Claw, AFK Autopilot]
Overdrive Injector System II
Overdrive Injector System II
Overdrive Injector System II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II

Medium Shield Extender II
Medium Shield Extender II

[empty high slot]
[empty high slot]

Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I
Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I

Speed: 814 m/s
Align: 2.9 s
Warp Speed: 13 au/s
EHP: 5543 omni

So the claw goes 99 m/s faster, but has 0.1 slower align. This means the stiletto will get up to speed a little quicker, although a slower speed. The Claw fit has 10 more EHP from omni damage. The Stiletto warps 6.4 au/s faster and will hit warp 0.1 s before the Claw.

The Stiletto will take over 11 sec to get to the gate. The Claw will take about 10 sec.

Which one would you take for a long trip? This is why I would look to the tackle-oriented ceptors over the combat ceptors.

Stiletto looks good for AFK and also non-AFK.

LOL I did some amusing tests of the AFK Claw a long time ago.
I wanted to see if it would survive some pretty hairy gatecamps on Autopilot and it did!
Though I am in no way shape or form recommending anyone to do this.
Ahem... Autopilot is BAD mmkay... tsk tsk

Also, while on the subject, what about a really cheap tanky autopilot fit for a Rifter?

Cheap because I don't want to spend too much on just something that moves cheap BPOs around to research them.

Honestly, the Vigil does this better than the Rifter thanks to it's 5% speed bonus. Just use the above posted fit, or edit to your liking. It will suit you fine. If you do edit it, I would consider swapping the Small shield extenders for passive shield resist mods. If you MUST use a Rifter, fit it just like the posted Vigil fit.
