Ships & Modules

I was playing around in EFT and came up with this. Yes, it is an overpriced piece of nonsense, but the purpose is to have an utterly invincible PVP fit, so you have to look outside the norm. It goes 4000/ms and has 15s align time and does 300 DPS.

The question is, can it orbit an opponent and keep them properly pointed? (30k Warp Disruptor Optimal)

The Officer Reactor Control can be dropped if you don't mind not having a full set of pvp implants.

But anyways, how (assuming I have a scout) do you plan on catching me? Can you go 4000 m/s while double webbed?

That with a snake set. 5076 m/s with my skills.
Get Loki boost and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

Now. Why a Tengu ? Why not do something stupid with a Cynabal. Or some other super fast ship to begin with ?

Such a fit doesn't exist.

Before you pour even more ISK and brainpower into the concept, try out a cheaper version before you become someone's lolmail. Like really. This is the kind of question that needs to be answered by flying, not on the forum.

At least get a corpmate to duel you to armor or something.

Thanks to the people who helped answer my question of whether or not it would be able to orbit :)

-What if you see a Rapier/10-Man Gang?
I wouldn't fly solo.

-Easily soloable
I wouldn't fight to the death if I was taking damage. I could easily disengage and warp off.

-Why not a cynabal?
I find artilleries to be awkward for kiting since they have bad tracking. Also, Intercalated Nanofibers

-Don't waste so much isk
2 billion isk is chump change, a month's in-game wages. I'd rather re-invest it than sit on top of an ever-increasing but useless wallet.

Comical that I spot this via google while building a similar fit for curiosities sake.

Loki boosts and snakes gets you ~11km/s overheated. While ironically being more agile than the 100mn AB fits since you can drop the fuel catalyst sub. In all honesty though, I'm not sure at what point speed ceases to matter/benefit you at all. You get 8.7 km/s without snakes, for all I know you're better off with Halo's ( 350 sig might be small enough that 9 km/s makes you stupid hard to hit? (haven't done the math)). Nomads get you down to a 8.3 sec align, which is actually retardedly good considering the speed you're zipping along at, but again...at what point do you stop caring about each second align gained?

It's all just theory craft though, and almost certainly a gimmick more than being actually useful. You're literally sacrificing 4-5 slots for fitting mods alone to pull it off, then eating cap boosters just to keep moving that fast. It leaves you with no real room for damage mods, basically none for tank. Imo, if you're serious about trying it out, just drop the webs. There's no way they'll be useful, as they'll force you to fight within bonused scram range, meaning inevitable death for you since the setup is left with nothing when that MWD gets turned off. Hell, an Arazu would be basically your worst nightmare in a fit like this, although momentum alone would probably pull you 80k or something stupid like that away. Of course, you do have that warm feeling inside from being faster than (I think) any other conventional ship fit in the game.

Oh, as an aside, the only documented usage of a fit like this I can find is here:

The problem I see with high speed, bad agility and long point is that the target can easily break your orbit with o/h MWD and get away, or land webs + scram on you. With more enemy ships on field, maneuvering a freight train that goes bazillion m/s sounds quite risky.

I did this consistently in a Proteus, which is not the speediest ship around but does have extended tackle range, against my corpie's 100MN AB Tengu.

Yeah, links will make it better for you, but like said they can work either way.

Tengu is awesome enough with it's tank and damage projection in conventional setups anyway.

I reserve the right to declare this as a brainfart, but wouldn't having 2x the agility but also 2x the speed result in a similar turning radius as the AB version?
