Ships & Modules

Hello,
I am wanting to build up a Cyclone for combat. I must be doing something very wrong, because I outfitted an autocannon and two rocket launchers and I am out of CPU space. Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

yea! have a couple of ideas!

maybe.......
1 - start from small ships (frigates and destroyers, cheap and very funny to fly around as far as pvp is involved)
2 - join a player corp or chat with people in that NPC corp you are now, let them teach you about fitting etc
3 - we all started as noobs don't worry
4 - start messing around with fits when you have spare time, i suggest you to use pyfa (best tool ever) but even the ingame fitting simulator can be enough at the start

5 - generally don't fly what you can't afford

You're not supposed to put rockets on a cyclone. You should be filling all the highslots with autocannons. Top troll post btw.

HAMs would probably be the best bet. I like this fit, could also swap the lows to 3 bcus and a co-proc. and then a bunch of small tweaks to change to t2 web/scram or something like that.

Cyclone is actually a missile boat, it cannot fit more than two projectile turrets, but it can fit 5 missile launchers.


I'm not sure English is Calamity's main language, based on how he phrased things in his post.
"rockets" might be a generic term for all types of missiles instead of the specific type of weapon inside the game.

He only mentioned the "rockets" and an autocannon in his post, but no matter what combination of missile launcher and autocannon I sim-fit on a Cyclone, with no other modules fitted the Cyclone has powergrid problems rather than CPU problems, and only if I try any kind of battleship sized turret/launcher.

Something else in his fit is using up a lot of CPU, but since he hasn't mentioned what other modules he's trying to fit, it's hard to pinpoint where the exact problem is.
