Warfare & Tactics

You can manually pilot a bit I suppose. Is the slasher neut fit? It will e a race between burning his tank down vs. your cap going away.

align time isn;t really the deciding factor here. basicly the faster ship is faster... so it's difficutt to manage range.

the obvious answers. are

1) change scram for web, but then you have no tackle.
2) or fit an MWD and hope he is fitting a disruptor rather than a scram.
3) fit you low slots, rigs etc to give you more speed.
4) use a complex ab.

what you'll probably find in these situations tho, is that the fast ship is less well tanked, so you could instead hold your ground and fight in the short range.

minmatar are good at pvp largely becasue they are able to dictate range, this means they often choose when and if a fight happens.

Thank you for your educational replies. I am grateful.


^ I do indeed have a 125mm Railgun II-fitted Incursus. And I am getting somewhere with it. I will post the fit at the bottom of the post.


^ I do have a web. Actually, that answers my original post: If Slasher does not have web, I can just burn away from him (and in the example I gave in original post, he does not have a web)

=================

If you are curious about my fit: (Keep in mind that my char only has 1.7M skill points):

[High-Slots]
125mm Railgun II (Both long- and short-range ammo in cargo)
125mm Railgun II (Both long- and short-range ammo in cargo)
125mm Railgun II (Both long- and short-range ammo in cargo)

[Mid-Slots]
1MN Afterburner II
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
X5 Prototype Engine Enervator

[Low-Slots]
Small Armor Repairer II
Adaptive Nano Plating II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Damage Control II

[Rigs]
Small Semi-Conductor Memory Cell I
Small Auxiliary Nano Pump I
Small Hybrid Collision Accelerator I

[Drones]
Hobgoblin I * 1

The clue is in the web, if you are both ab fit and both want to brawl inside 10km. The one with the web dictates range almost regardless of ship types. Set keep at range at 7.5km, the web will do the rest. though it may take a few seconds to pull range if he came right in before you could land web.

Though if you are going to fit a web, fit a fleeting propulsion meta 4 one. The extra 5% speed reduction makes a difference.

he means a warp distruptor as opposed to a scrambler.

this allows you to prevent warp at longer range. 24km for t2. but it will not shut off their mwd.

this is usually the preferable option when you are able to control the range of an engagement.

edit: previously when i said switch scram for web, i was suggesting 2 webs. but like i say you then lose tackle.

If he has a neut fitted , align something. OH ab and hope your faster then him .Slasher has little tank..
If he doesnt have a neut.. use antimatter and **** him , when he trys too disengage , oh ab and burn at him

by this point your in a bit of a tight spot. you've lost your greatest advantage in the fight, range.

the obvious choices are to fit your short range ammo. and overheat AB and oh rep once get you to low shield.

all you can really hope to do is out last him. If overheated you can pull some range, then you can burn away. if not then there is very little you can do other than hope that your reps offset enough of his damage to pull through (which is unlikely)

It is implied in definition of faster is that he can overtake you. If he can't overtake you, then he isn't faster. So the original question is moot.

Unless you make yourself go faster or make the target go slower, you'll always be overtaken.

So either fit speed mods, get Loki links etc. or fit webifiers etc.

If you cant shake him and pull range, OH ab and align to something, he is not fast enough to keep up transversal with you while you're aligned.

Sell the incursis - buy a hookbill.

AB/ Scram/2xWeb/msb in mids.

Set orbit to 7000m

Kill other thing.
