Wormholes

Sleeper NPCs are some of the toughest red crosses in EvE. Its not just their hit points and their damage that makes them dangerous but a number of other behaviors. For example, they are prone to switch targets. Where a dedicated tanker can be used in null sec or low sec complexes, in w-space every ship has to be equally capable. The fact that they switch their target is the reason drones aren't super useful, they will target and kill the drones.

The other thing Sleepers do is neut, depending on the class of the wormhole and the site you are doing they will try to neut you out. Thus players prefer passive tanked shield ships, armor ships don't have that luxury, they can only active or buffer tank. Again, depending on the class of the wormhole (C3 and below but dont quote me on that) you can still do some sites in an active armor ship. As for Missile preference, its simple, missile Drake can reach out and touch their opponent up to 73km away while consuming no cap. A hybrid ship can do a lot of damage but you will have to burn close to the Sleepers to blaster them or keep on kiting in order to keep em in your optimum railgun range. Both approaches require active prop mod use and will be heavy on your cap.

Overall, you can still find ways to do sites with your active tanked hybrid Gallente ship. However for maximum efficiency and a piece of mind a passive shield ship with missiles is better. Hope this helps.

because Heavy missiles have ludicrous damage projection. And the key ships that use them are shield tankers.

These people do not entirely know what they are talking about, there are wolf rayet systems that increase armor resistances while reducing shield resistances.

furthermore small/medium drones are rarely targeted by sleepers simply fitting your ship with proper vamps and rail guns depending on the system will do just fine.

there are many options out there that are very strong for armor tankers, such as domi spider rep fleets for c5's or bellow depending on your pilot amount/skill

missiles in fact have a big downside because if you get a bunch of people operating sites they waste missiles as they have travel time. but in the same respect drones have a good bit of travel time and sentry's have crappy tracking. every fleet has its downside in wormhole space, it just depends on where you are in wh space and what anomaly your system has find the right corp with the right setup and your golden

I couldn't read any of that i was distracted by all the interesting things on your face, like an amusement ride it is.

I ran about dozen anoms in C2 and C3 with a drone Proteus, lost one Warrior II. Myrm works fine fr C2s solo as well. Flying active armor tanked drone boats in sleeper sites is just like flying them in PVP, manage your cap and watch your drones, win in the end.

Also, RR Sentry Domis are ******* boss in C3s. Cost 1/10th of a Tengu and not so prone to ganks. Never worry about triggers.

Switch to lights for the frigs that get close. We run with TP's and webs, sleeper frigs literally vaporize under 10 bonused lights.

below C3 you can fly pretty much anything you want

Yea, don't know how that would be.

However, there is a magical module that you can fit to your ship, and used right makes your fleet almost immune to ganks.

Romie, care to elaborate then? because i have trouble seeing how a domi is less gankable than a tengu...

I think the hardest fleets/ships to gank are MW fit proteus' as they are constantly on the move.

Yeah no **** but it doesn't make you any harder to gank.
