Ships & Modules

The reason for the fits being the way we have them is for a couple of reasons:

1) Newer skills = harder fittings, less defense, and less damage.
2) Newer players may not want to have to study every mission, and many of us prefer just to go to them and give it a try, which we have more fun in.
3) Newer players make more mistakes (accidentally multi spawning, drawing full room aggro, etc), and therefore it is helpful to have more forgiveness, hence the listed cap hungry fits, omni tanks, prop mods, etc.


If they want to get into blitzing missions, or fitting for each of them, etc., gods know there are plenty of players that can give amazing advice for that, but I think it would be a different thread.

this lasers are worst gunz i had
if enemies (minmatar frigates) get closer than 4k metres , and if there alot of them(5-6) u screwed. no chance u could hit them. warp away and then when u warp in mission location. this bastards are 2-3k metres away from u by default SO u screwed again . im tired of this bullcrap and changing weaponz
otherwise i prefer DPS for harbinger rather than tanking

After retribution you can prolly run an EANM and a reactive (they don't stack properly) instead of running two specifics. Saves time refitting, more isk in the pot.

Harbinger is a bit too big to be efficient in level 2 missions but I can give you some tips for killing frigates in an Harbinger.

Firstly, the Radio ammo is fine for killing frigates, but if you look at the properties of that ammo, you'll see it's a long range ammo. In this game, longer range means less DPS.

So. What is the point of using long range ammo if the frigs are 2-3km away? If you use a shorter range ammo, you can do a lot more damage to them. Yes, true, but that still doesn't solve your tracking issues.

Your guns are too close to the enemy ships and your guns can't keep up with them. How do you solve this? By putting distance between yourself and the enemy ships. You won't do that with an AB because it's too slow. Fit a MWD instead and find the sweet spot, probably 10-15 km. Use an appropriate ammo type to get the best DPS for the range you require and you can kill them very effectively. The other bonus of using a MWD is that you can loot up quickly and have some nice mobility instead of crawling around everywhere. It allows you to shuttle up close to the bigger ships like BCs and open up on them with some good Multifrequency ammo, which will tear them apart far more effectively than your Radio. Try it, I'm sure you'll find it much less frustrating.

dude tyvm u best. MWD is what i needed and multifrequency works well. now learning EFT
u are not gonna believe! me but some dude gifted me ASHIMMU and now im researching to fly it. look cool with this fit - http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/35776-Ashimmu-pwnage-solo-boat.html
28hours more!!!
harby need some relaxation I guess :)

My advice is to take it into a level 3 mission and get blow up by NPCs. The most valuable lessons in this game are the most expensive ones. Get that Ashimmu blown up by NPCs and you will learn more than you would spending an afternoon on this board. Others might recommend against it, but it will be worth it in the long run.

Good luck, make sure you train Energy Emission Systems.
