I guess this is a caldari fw guide. Because this is bad advice to give if you fly for amarr.


or your just not doing it right...



Ill admit I am not that good at pve. But I have spent some time trying to figure out how to tank the minmatar rats.

But unless your pretty much in a heavy missile drake you will not be able to solo these easilly. That is you won't be able to keep doing them without docking to repair or replenish your cap boosters.

If I am wrong please post your pvp BC fits that you use to easilly take these plexes.

Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815

Very much so. I like to use destroyers for the minors. There are a ton of fits that are really good. You will have to choose something you think is competitive with the FOTM ships and fly them to counter those.

A couple weeks ago long range dessys were the rage in Cal V Gal space. The incursus and merlin buffs changed that so they could mwd quickly into the dessy and get under the guns.

When things like this happen you need to be able surprise the guy by rocking a 200mm AC thrasher or whatever.

I havent flown the merlin or incursus since the buff but I have seen incursus do nasty things

Thanks Bolster! You the man!

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

[quote=BolsterBomb All major plexes have a 20 minute timer and you must be within 25km of the button to run the timer down. .[/quote]

It is 30km of the button. I know not much difference and no i am not trying to **** someone off. Just giving correct info if that is what this thread is about

Good guide! Thanks Bolster.

Your short scan range is a bit high though at 21 million km. I find 200,000 works nicely for detecting ships on your accel gate.

The standings/captures to get next rank seem to have changed also since the patch. More captures needed to get to next rank.

Can someone confirm?

Here is the old matrix for Gallente:
(This is from else someone who posted in forums years ago, so I have no credit in this)

Breakdown per rank:

1 Federation Minuteman: 0
2 Defender Lieutenant: 4 (+4)
3 Guardian Lieutenant: 10 (+6)
4 Lieutenant Sentinel: 19 (+9)
5 Shield Commander: 37 (+18)
6 Aegis Commander: 65 (+28)
7 Vice Commander: 108 (+43)
8 Major General: 177 (+69)
9 Lieutenant General: 292 (+115)
10 Luminaire General: 522 (+230)

Defensive plex capture standing yield:
1 Federation Minuteman: +3.0%
2 Defender Lieutenant: +2.0959%
3 Guardian Lieutenant: +1.2457%
4 Lieutenant Sentinel: +0.8584%
5 Shield Commander: +0.6425%
6 Aegis Commander: +0.5071%
7 Vice Commander: +0.4152%
8 Major General: +0.3493%
9 Lieutenant General: +0.3%
10 Luminaire General: +0.2619%
