Get a Tengu.

Have you done WHs before? Pretty sure no Subcap can solo a C5 (not even sure about a Capital can do them).


PS, batteries are better than recharges for cruisers and below assuming they can fit, not only do they give you a bigger buffer but you get better recharge rate as well. I would personally say that tracking is your issue (crappy Rail tracking) , so more webs for you.

I fly a Legion and I can do all but 2 C3 sites in it (T2 fit + faction web) and the fit below is based on that. I have however not tested it.

PS. Avoid hitting triggers if you Tank is not that great. Also If you are fighting a BS Upholder try and get an orbit under 15km. Under that range they do 0 dps (you can orbit the 2 in a Database with no reps running at all). The Other BS's its more like 10km depending on your speed.

Not sure if you would get away from a C5 at all.

Also Frontier sites are C3 :)

So many things wrong with that fit I wouldnt know where to begin.

Oruze are ****, run Outposts and Solar Cells instead

Gut-check: go watch this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-RaBU4Kos8

Then go save 4Bn for the ship and 3Bn for the implants:

Possible to solo a C5? Absolutely. Video demonstrates how.
Is it a good idea? Is it reasonable? Is it possible without having a cloaky hauler drop off a cargo container of cap boosters for you in advance? Different questions entirely :)

EDIT: re-watching the video now before the soundtrack gets pulled. I really enjoy Lindsey Sterling, and I'm man enough to admit it.

Oh, and on-topic? You can pretty much solo anom in a C3 with 700DPS+ of tank plus 300DPS+ gank; if you want to ensure you can do it without warping off, make sure you can hit a solid 800DPS+ for the final wave of Fortification Frontier Stronghold and you'll do fine. I partially ran a FFS in a Scorpion yesterday with terrible DPS (~300 between drones & cruise missiles) and far less tank. It's not hard, it's just time-consuming, and I ran out of time!

And if you can keep up your speed and transversal, you can skimp big-time on the tank. That's just harder than "sit in one place and tank all the things in a battleship".

EDIT2: Renamed fit.

But you already went home.

And he lives in a C5, so he goes big too.

Anyhow, there were a number of issues with that fit. Meta guns on a T3? Ewww. It wasn't even cap stable with everything running (you need to be at least cap stable to deal with neuting in WH sites).

Here's and adjustment that IMO would handle the sites better. It is still a Proteus so you will likely make better isk farming the C3 farmers than killing sleepers with it.

Rule 1 of doing C3s in a cruiser: Only EM/therm resists matter. All exp/kin damage from sleepers comes from missiles. Sleeper battleship missiles have 330m explosion radii and 60m/sec explosion velocities. If you are moving, they don't do any damage. Even if you are webbed in place, they still only do 33% damage. Also, missiles cannot wreck, so if your tank does break, it will break predictably and let you warp off. If you're EM/Therm weak you can explode instantly to a couple of wrecking shots. Explosive hardener and EANM are wastes of a slot, put EM or Therm hardeners in there.

Second, use drones, not railguns. Seriously, just use this fit (you need Geno CA-1 and CA-2 or a PG implant to fit it):

It's much more DPS than that railgun fit and doesn't have to deal with crappy railgun tracking. Use the ancillary armor rep on waves with four webbing frigs to keep your tank up until you kill them off and can resume speed tanking. If you don't have multiple webs on you, you don't need it to maintain tank. Comes with a salvager and tractor beam so you can loot everything in the site while you're shooting it, no need to come back. Probe launcher to get you out of the C3 if the hole is closed, this basically has everything.

If you're worried about drone aggro, remember that sleepers will NOT switch to your drones unless there are frigs active. You will never lose your Ogres or Hammerheads, as long as you don't deploy them when there are still frigs alive. Use Hobgoblins and the blasters to kill all frigs, then switch to Ogres or Hammerheads to kill everything else. The frigs will occasionally switch to your Hobgoblins, and sometimes you can't scoop fast enough to avoid losing one. That's why you have 10 spares.

100mn AB looks dumb but it works great, maintains your speed tank against multiple webs and when only battleships are left, it gets you to blaster range ASAP, at which point you obviously turn it off.

Yes, but since Loki has no drone subsystem to conserve high slots, the DPS you can do is going to be very dependent on how much you need/want the probe launcher/salvager/tractor beam on there. Armor tanked Loki is absurdly effective (and very cheap) for C3 sites because of the racial EM/Therm bonuses, but the armor subsystem costs you a high slot so you have to give up one of those three. (prober/salvager/tractor) Shield tanked Loki can get all three on there, but it's expensive.

I'm just finishing training he skills for a loki. Armor tank would be great. I don't know anything about fitting t3s yet though. I have an alt in a sb cloaked in the whs when I'm running sites, so I don't usually fit a probe launcher, salvage, or tractor. I just come back in dessy to clean up. Can you hook me up with a fit for it?
