o/

It is down time now or i would be trying this out but my question is as follows....
With the changes to FW plex, is it possible to go into a medium plex in a frig or dessy and speed tank/kill the one NPC and complete the plex in a smaller ship?

If it is how big can you go? and what fit would you think to use?
i mainly fly mini but can fly amarr.

Thanks in advance.

You have to kill NPC guard for a timer to start counting. And they have somewhat solid tank (read: do not die in 1 sneeze, only in 6).

This is what you do:


  1. You create 7 more accounts.
  2. You create 7 more characters and train them to use Bantams.
  3. You buy 1000s of Bantams and the DPS frigate of your choice (Daredevil is best).
  4. You kill the NPC in plex with your real frigate, and send in your Bantam to run the timer. You find another plex for another Bantam.
  5. You cash out tens of millions of LP each week.

Ideally this should be 7 friends, instead of 7 more dummy accounts, but hey, whatever works... Blink

7 friends would mean 49 more Bantams, I do not want stupid friends.

Ignore to dumb remarks......unless you are baiting the trolls in which fair enuf.

I have solo'd the novice, small & medium in T1 frigs pretty easily as long as they are decent dps brawlers. I have found that the kitey setup have a hard time getting through the new tanks of the medium npc.

But I have had no issues with any of my T1 brawlers in burning down the new npc's. It is so easy in fact it's kinda made LP farming easier again.

That is the Way, the Tao.

Balance is everything.

A frigate that can put out around 200dps will clear all sites except the Large Plex. You need 350+ DPS to break the tank the battlecruiser NPC.

200dps?

I can clear a medium in a ship doing 120dps pretty easily. not many T1 frigs easily go about 200dps without expensive implants/booster/inks/whatever with basic to decent skills.

Balance is everything.

That would require Cynthia to have friends.

As it was told to you many times: you know some people have friends, others have internetspaceshipfriends and pretend this game is their social life. How sad.

And yet there is another group that has neither. I guess that's doubly sad.

I generally run the mediums in cruisers/assault ships so I am unsure of the minimum.

I just know from my testing pre patch that my 200dps Incurses ran them easily. Yet my Myrms drones alone struggled with the large plex battlecruiser.

I am surprised 120dps clears a medium although there will be some variation due npc resists.

Yeah I've ran them in cookie cutter rifters. Took longer than my blaster incursus of course but swap to fusion ammo and blap away :)

I like it tbh. it mean that brawlers have more to do now than before.
