Ships & Modules

Projectiles, then run circles around cruisers in a mach

You don't rate the Vargur?

after all is said and done, the vargur is just a budget machariel. less range, less speed, less damage etc.

edit: i just noticed, after the TE nerf the vargur with two scripted TCs wil actually outrange a shield mach (lol).

AC. Dmg selection, tracking, projection. Things like reload time is a nonfactor.

best bet for an alt to help you run missions is get them into a BC not a BS. When in mission they can orbit your main, smaller weapon systems can hit smaller targets easier, and depending on the ship you fly you can fit RR on the BC to assit your BS tank allowing it to be fit fro more DPS.

For example I ussed to run level 4 missions with a Raven and an alt in a drake. the drake would take out the smaller ships starting at frigates and work its way up, while the Raven would start at battleships and work its way down. I would also fit a shield or energy transfer array in the utility slot on the drake to top up the ravens tank between rooms.

Another advantage of the Drake is its crazy passive tank. If fit right you can warp it in first to soak up initial agro and then warp in the Raven. By the time the Raven pulls agro half the room is dead. makes things much faster as you can fit more gank then tank and still stay safe.

Another option is a drone boat either cruiser or BC. You release drones and set them to assist the battleship. they will add DPS without having to alt-tab back and fourth between screens.

Two battleships can be hard to manage unless you have two monitors, Rats will continuously switch agro, and even then, it is the smaller ships that cause problems for battleships in missions. If you are going to dual box you will have faster completion times having the alt in a ship that can easily take out those little buggers.

I have done this a lot and always do better with a BS, BC combo then two BS's.

Meh not really, some fat people are fast

Is this based on the assumption people train Gallente BS to five? I recall having some pretty sweet range with the Vargur, also shooting Barrage is more cost effective with four turrets.

Only a scrub would leave it at 4 and be content. Level 5 is critical for the Rattler and the Domis, which are popular ships. Its also is a significant boost to the mach and vindi. Oh yeah, and there are also these things called capital ships. The gallente ones have been popular forever. Guess which skill you need to fly those? EDIT: I may have misinterpreted your post, I thought were you were implying that Gal BS 5 was not worth it or otherwise not particularly useful.



without a doubt the dumbest post I have read today.

Just a little FYI, don't take people saying that something is really bad seriously on these forums. For the most part, every module and every ship is good for a certain use.

Blasters aren't all that great for missions but if you know what you are doing you can melt through them really quickly. Rails on the otherhand are excellent for missions, especially the Large ones. You can hit targets pretty well with them from 100+ km which makes tanking less of an issue as you will be generally out of their range. As a result, you can focus on applying heavy damage to your targets. With the Megathron, you can carry plenty of drones to take out smaller ships that get too close.

Personally here is what you should look for...

1. Personal preference, train all of them to the bare minimum level of use and see which ones you like the best.

2. Streamlined training. Try training something for missioning that you can also use for other activities. For example, if your corp likes to use Tech 2 Lasers then train lasers (only if you like them of course) so this way you will kill two birds in one stone.

3. Ships. Your weapon of choice won't be so effective on ships that just don't work well with them. Be sure to be appropriately trained for ships that make great use of your favored weapon system.

I agree. Reasons or GTFO.
