Hi

I just got warfare link specialist to 5 on my alt, nd i'm looking for a decent T1 battlecruiser that I can put my alt into and leave in a nice safe somewhere. Not sure about the exact science of unprobe-ability. Was thinking 2 or 3 conjuntive ECCMs and a signal amp II. But then I still don't know the maths lol.

In fact, does any1 even use them?

Fire away and ty in advance :)

you cant make things unprobable anymore

also they should change ganglinks to only work on grid imo

Something like this should work. But again, not totally safe. Nor was it safe b4 the patch I believe. As for the maths, I don't know, somebody just told me to add ECCM and get some number above 1.08 or something.

Last I checked woth co-pro II's you can fit five links on a drake, cane, or myrmidon, six on the drake or myrm with faction co-pro's. Doesn't leave room for much else though, so those would be POS queens.


And you can't make a ship impossible to probe, but you can sure make it difficult.

Just toss it together. It really doesn't matter too much as such link ships are reasonably expendable by their very nature. You can't make them unprobable anymore, but you can make them very difficult to probe with a few ECCM's. Do be aware that the signal amp does absolutely nothing for making it harder to probe. Targeting range and scan resolution are in no way factored into the probing mechanics. I presume you meant to say backup array as that is the low slot passive ECCM.

In any case, slap on 2x ECCM, put in your desired links (you will probably max at 4-5 tbh due to CPU), toss on the needed command processors to get them all activated at once and then fill those lows with co-processors so you can actually online it all. A t2 regular cloak is handy for concealing it, it's best to keep such ships hidden until you actually need the links active. If you leave them on all the time without parking it in a POS, someone is going to narrow it down with d-scanner then nail it in a single probe cycle. Not that it matters since it's cheap but it's still annoying having to go buy a new one.

edit without talons it will still be really easy to probe

Cool, I feel slightly smarter in an area I wasn't b4. Will have to invest in a set of talons. Also it has just occured to me that incurance will cover most of the fit if indeed I do go pop.

Your sensor strength had to be higher than your signiture radius, you really need a T3 for what you want im afraid, you could do it with a BC and get 1 bonus and be hard to probe (ish) so it wouldnt be effective , use a T3 and you can be very hard to probe unless virtues / implants.
