Warfare & Tactics

It works fine. It has a smaller cargo hold but can be immune to bubbles (which is a big perk in nullsec).

As to the fit, Covops offensive sub, covops cloak, Interdiction Nullifier prop sub, lows either agility or cargo room, mids and highs whatever you feel like. It's really not that complex a concept.

Tengu could fill this role fairly decently however the cargohold would be fairly limited. My thoughts are you will most likely be nullified (because this is where a tengu would shine for hauling) which generally takes away 1-2 lows slots, which you could use for expanded cargohold II. In addition, another reason to use a tengu over blockade runner is the align time, which is best augmented with and inertia stablizer, which again would take low slots.

IMO if you are interested in a T3 for hauling, due to fast align time and nullifier, perhaps look into a Proteus, which has more lows than a tengu, this allowing you to fit those precious expanded cargoholds and inertia stabilizer mods.

At work so don't have fit, but interdiction null, covert recon, 100mn ab, warp core stabs in the lows smallish passive tank, think it was about 50k ehp and some launchers. Warp core stabs will mess with targeting, but the idea is not to stick around and fight. Haven't been caught yet, even in a bubble with abandoned drones, think its called a spiked bubble.

Like drdxie and others I use a T3 to haul low-volume high value loads thru nullsec and w-space. I tend to use loki or tengu but others may prefer others.

The critical elements of my fit are:
- covops cloak and the subsystem to support it;
- interdiction nullifier;
- dual prop (10MNs, although comment above re 100MN AB is noted);
- 2 warp core stabilisers.

Other slots I fit, depending on my mood, with cap rechargers, jammers, nanos, and cargo expanders.

My main use for this ship is very small high value cargo (sleeper stuff, BPOs etc) so the lows are usually setup for GTFO rather than cargohold volume. Compared to a blockade runner the main features are that she carries much less volume but isn't messed-up by bubbles.

Tank and / or weapons?? I see no place for either on this ship. The cloak is my main defence and if anyone ever manages to get a target lock on me I figure that I am dead.

What is your fit?

Also, I'm kind of leaning towards the 100 MN AB instead of MWD because of the sig penalty, I can't fit an XL booster though.

The only thing that is possibly a threat to a nullified T3 is a dedicated camp with R-sebos and cans/abandoned drones to decloak. The chance of a fleet not specifically set up to catch them doing so are so small that we often do not even try when one jumps into our roaming gangs.

Really? In a cloaky nullified role T3's have essentially zero combat ability. and even maxed out a cloaky hauler tengu is only going to get about 1500m3 of cargo space, which is tiny compared to even a high risk fit blockade runner.

IMO these types of fits actually help out 0.0 space. Consider a player like myself, who would like to play out in 0.0 more, but I am nowhere near able to fly any caps yet (most of my 0.0 friends tell me a carrier is almost essential for personal travel around 0.0).

So a cloaky nullified setup gives me the ability as a relatively newer subcap player to actually get in and out of 0.0 space. Otherwise not only would it be more dangerous, but (more importantly) it would be far more annoyingly tedious. And that would likely make me not bother even trying out 0.0 space.
