I don't want people making fun of my Interceptor!

I have an alt that I pampered with Snake implants 1-5; plus the #6 Omega to bring it all home. I thought my cruising speed in an Ares at 896.5 m/s rocked, but every so often I come across a post that means I'm doing this way wrong or they're full of junk about how fast they can go.

This forum helped be nearly double my Hyperion DPS once, so looking for thoughts again.

Is this right?

'Crucible' Small Capacitor Battery I

Republic Fleet Overdrive Injector
True Snasha Power Diagnostic System
Synthetic Hull Conversion Intertia Stabilizers I
Nanofiber Internal Structure II

Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II
Small Auxiliary Thrusters II

My speed skills are at 4 or 5, I can't add a 10MN drive due to power and I could add another auxiliary thruster. But still, I am not close to well over 1 - 1.5k m/s like some claim.

WTF

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Why in space are you trying to maximize the speed you can achieve with your prop mod turned off?

Anyway, fit more overdrives if you really really want to. They make you go faster. Cloaky zoooom YAY.

Try something more like that.

As a fleet tackle ship, your job isn't to go OMGWTFFAST, your job is to charge in and get tackle and survive long enough for secondary point/RR/DPS to get to you.

If you're looking for a random gimmick fit instead of a real tackle fit, then you should specify what gimic you're looking to do.

Lose the cloak... you may notice slight increase in speed, also important it will decrease your lock time

I made this as a blockade runner so that is why I have the cloak. But all I really try to do is fly around Jita airspace fast. I'll take the cloak off and add an overdrive.

If I get the alt into a fleet fight I'll take that fit advice for sure. Thanks.

That's kind of sad that you bought a Snake set just because you wanted to go fast for the sake of going fast. You can do the exact same thing on the test server for pretty much free.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

or you could just you tube for the fastest ship speed in eve.. and watch the video. after that you won't feel the need to try to max your speed anymore.

  - remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not  "afk" cloaking -

Or you could just train a blockade runner and do it right.Straight

Not really a good joke thread. Have to post it with a younger noob corp alt. And be a little more subtle with the question.
