Wormholes

Greetings everyone!

I've run C3's now for a while (in a Legion) solo and although i manage to take down all sites i would like to make it faster.
Currently i am giving an alt a shot (i always used to run the WH's with a buddy who salvaged and did nothing else - he quit :/)
and i was wondering if it viable to train a loki/legion alt who sits at a SS with with fleet boosters.

I do not know if he can use the boosters while being cloaked - if he cannot do that it is out of the question anyway i think.

Maybe some of you already did that and could share some of your information.

Best regards,
Bhear

Fu*k.

Thansk for the info though

also a deep space safespot and have the booster continuously flying off in some random direction may work... no idea though

You would be surprised how many people do have them though, with so much money made in WH space enables thos quite easily: http://lfarm.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13497764

Thank you all for the answers, think i found a way ;)

Fly safe!

Loki alt with skirmish boosts has its advantages as well. The links are useful for both armor and shield fleets, so the same alt is suited for more situations, and the increased speed and decreased signature radius has a significant impact on the tank of armoured cruisers as well, though not as large as armour links would. As an added bonus, the webifier range increase can be a significant boost to your dps against small targets, especially if it is a faction web you are boosting.

For running sites in an active tanked armour ship, armour links are still better, but in PvP encounters the increased ability to control range you get from skirmish boosts is likely to be the difference between life and death.

In larger corporations the skirmish links become even more important, as the webifier range boost means your rapiers/huginns/lokis can web targets for your dreadnoughts more reliably and thus quarantee more dps delivered. A skirmish boosted rapier webs targets from absolutely astonishing ranges.

I make extensive use of booster alts – for PvE combat, PvP, and mining / harvesting.

For my solo / small-group sleeper killing I would run a perfect fleet booster fitted with a siege implant – my sleeper killers were all shield tankers. He would use either a vulture, sitting in a POS and perma-running seven boost modules, or a tengu uncloaked at a safespot running five. IIRC the T3 would provide stronger boosts than the CS with all relevant skills maxed. Each CS / T3 is bonused to provide optimal boosts in one area … distributed along basic racial lines (caldari = shield / seige, Minnie = skirmish, amarr = armor, gallente = information), so vulture / tengu are best for shield / siege boosts.

For my small-ship w-space PvP I often have a booster tengu providing 5 modules of boost (and a skirmish implant). For bomber support I run the three skirmish mods, one info and often one armor / shield. The tengu is not optimised for skirmish boosts but can run one more module than the loki. You could argue that the loki is better because of the increased skirmish boosts, but I am still pretty happy with the non-bonused tengu.

It’s pretty damn impressive how much benefit the boosts provide. IIRC my sleeper shooting ships would gather 25+% more shield HPs and 10+% increase in each resist, as well as greatly improved booster performance, quicker target locks, reduced sig size etc etc. My flimsy little bomber will point a target from over 40km and web / paint them at greatly increased range. Whether it’s PvE or PvP these are brilliant force multipliers.
Of course there’s the counter-argument that I’d be better off using that alt to provide a second DPS ship. That may be so but I kinda like focussing my second-by-second attention on the one active toon and only having to occasionally check the booster dude … DS for probes especially.
