More like 15 km orbit.
1100m/s is not very fast for a cruiser to be honest, and the main issue with the legion here is that you might as well use a drake, which would be 100ms slower, probably more dps and still good buffer going for it.


100m/s slower on the drake? You're fitting your drake wrong.

And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell. Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell.

100MN AB T3s do not "align slow"...if you are ontop of you boat, you can simply deactivate the module or you are aligned to what you want way before it's time to warp.

100MN AB T3s do not "orbit" with ABs on...usually it's either strafe runs (HML Tengus) with another tackler holding the target or you having long range disruptor with good o/h control, or in-ur-face-get in Scram-range burn to target tactics you would use in a short range HAM Legion. At any rate, if you believe nano-tempests can do the job, 100MN T3s feel pretty close in agility etc.

If things get ugly, the 100MN AB is working even under scrams, and you try to either approach the gate in time de-aggressing, or burning away aligned to a celestial while killing the fast tackle (out-running most DPS boats).

Oh, and webs are crazy more effective than TPs...plz...TPs real advantage is range, so naturally not that useful on a close range boat like the Legion, or a sig radius or expl. velocity bonused boat like a HML tengu...Also, Web is both an offensive and a defensive weapon, while the TP is only for offense.

The 100MN AB is a good call. I'd fly it like an AHAC if I were you... keep your sig down and orbit your way out of incoming damage.


Orbiting in a 100MN T3 is like trying to lose weight by eating more ice cream.


Please note the full stop (aka period) between my two statements. Clearly I'm not suggesting he orbits with the AB on.

When I fly AHACs, I never turn off my AB. Sorry for the confusion.

So I take it using Legion Offensive - Assault Optimization means you can’t run a HAM cov-ops configuration on the Legion?

Correct....

and the AB is not for orbitting, just to GTFO if needed.
