Ships & Modules

Let's say either solo or in fleet, what ship is preferred to use for c-2 to c-4 WH sites?

I'm thinking a Legion, but is there something else better? Looking for help from experienced Pilots!

Thanks!

Tengu... or a Geddon maybe for something cheaper

Good ships:

Tengu,
Tengu,

and...

Tengu.

If you find a site too hard, add more RR Tengus.

I've watched a faction-fit legion die to c3 sites.

Use a tengu.

I was pulling somewhere on the order of 120-150M/hr with a Sleipnir/Noctis combo in a C2. Don't follow the herd if you don't want to.

There is difficulty and skill in knowing when to use something, and knowing more about the game. But then, some people prefer skill as in faster reflexes, knowing when to pull the trigger and where to aim; but eve has absolutely nothing to satisfy the latter group; so yes, for people like that a simple Tengu is better. It's not fun having to manage a ship like a business constantly. Not for me, nor for a lot of other people.



How does that even happen? I could trigger everything in most C3 sites and tank it without moving, as long as my modules are on. The only way you could die in a C2 with a faction // deadspace fit tengu is if you forget to turn on your modules or get attacked by other players.

I said he had it deadspace pimped. I didn't say what mods did he use.

EvE lacks many things but it certainly doesn't lack stupidity.

Of course I use it, but not because I find it enjoyable (UI is not very pretty, there's no interactivity or skill involved in your personal abilities, you just push a button and up comes the information you need).

The only skill involved using it is in finding specific ships which is a bit fun because it;s at least somewhat interactive (having to orient the camera to a certain angle). I just feel like it could be much more.

Like I said, EvE brings nothing to the table for people who like action involving more than spreadsheets and precise calculations and information management.

It's one reason why soloing is very hard and rarely done; because no matter how smart you are there's a peak at which that intelligence does not translate into winning against multiple people, or even against the same foe who just happened to fit the counter to what you're using.

Unlike in a game like Tribes Ascend, where a skilled player can literally fight 4-5 people and come out victorious through his own twitch based skill.

The extremely precise nature of the game encourages team based gameplay to ensure you can win. Fights are almost always decided prior to engagement. If you punched in the offensive and defensive numbers of all ships and their speeds, signature radius, and other information; into a powerful computer, it would easily be able to determine who'd be the victor.

You NEVER know who will win in a game like Tribes.

Don't think though, that I don't enjoy EvE, I merely wish that it had something more. Like everything in this game it's specialized.

I think the problem, what makes me a bit annoyed, is there isn't a single game in the known universe that is like what I want. That's a terrible place to be in, to want something desperately that doesn't even exist.

yeah...all fights are predetermined by the numbers...

There's a lot of player skill involved in soloing, although I agree that a lot of it is in the planning. But to say that how you handle triggers depending on the ship you're flying, how much cap you have vs how many neuts on the field etc, requires no skill is foolish. Even something as simple as killing all web rats causing an early trigger but gaining enough speed tank to handle the spawn.

Sounds like you've been flying the ultra-boring tengu for too long.
