Wormholes

Unless your running in a WH system with effects that might make a difference I generally tend to avoid CCC rigs on a dread. I'd usually be looking at tri-mark/extender or memcell rigs.

Have to be honest I have no experience of using XL artillery against sleepers but everything I've ever experienced is suggesting to me thats a (very) bad idea.

I've never used shield dreads for PVE, but that fit is fairly similar to how many people fit an armor moros for PVE, so I reckon your fit would actually work okay. I'd be interested to hear a comparison for how the shield variant fairs in PVE however.

So if you do want to try that fit I wouldn't bother with the battery or a third sebo. Depending on how many dreads you have in the site you don't really many sebos - learning how to properly stagger your locking reduces your need for sebos. I'd start with one sebo and then throw on a second if you find the sleepers are dying too fast for you to lock them up (generally only an issue when you have 3 or more dreads). So for the mids you would be freeing up, I'd be using cap rechargers or target painters. I'd have both in my cargo and swap between them depending on whether or not I was getting primaried. Having painters on your dreads also allows you to swap the painters on the loki for webs.

You don't need dual reps for PVE. Those eanms are fine, better than what I use TBH (imperial navies). Just make sure you have a few hardeners (passive and active) of each type and a DC in cargo to swap to if needed when you're drawing a lot of sustained aggro. Similarly have spare cap rechargers for your mids.

Oh yeah, as Rroff states don't use arty, use AC, i.e. 2500's.

I'm 5 days from one of these to sit in. about 28 to fly or so
Would it really be worth it to train for a moros? Just got the minni T2's done and branching gallente now.

yeah moros is currently the best dread hands down and the nag changes arent gonna change that.

then youre fitting at least one of them wierd.
shield nag fit (one i posted above) has 4m25s cap, armour moros with guns and single rep, mem cells, no cap mods has 7m50s.
like i said the tank is 7.4k odd on the nag vs 5.5k odd on the moros to it balances out somewhat over time, you just need to manage it more.
nag also has ~10% less cap amount which makes it weaker against neuts.

Be a special snowflake.

Use a Phoenix and one-shot Sleepers.

All of them.

They're special snowflakes, too!

and you can't do this on a moros why?

Not to quibble too much:

Moros, blasters, 81.5km+36km (Tungsten) = 6450 DPS, 28313 Volley 4.39s cycle time (no implants calculated). # of times fires to Naglfar Artillery in same duration: 3. "volley" damage: 84939.

Naglfar, autocannons, 48.5km+69.1km (Titanium Sabot) = 7086 DPS (napkin math), 27646.5 Volley (napkin math) 3.9s cycle time (no implants calculated). # of times fires to Naglfar Artillery in same duration: 3 (possibly 4 with 5% implant). "volley" damage: 82939.5-110,584

Naglfar artillery, 69km+168km (Republic Fleet EMP XL) = 7164 DPS (napkin math), 104,832 volley (napkin math), 14.6s cycle time (no implants calculated).

Looking at the numbers, while the Naglfar Artillery does the heaviest DPS and volley at range, the other two are still fairly effective considering they are close-range weapon systems using sub-optimal ammo. Not to mention if the Moros can switch to Antimatter it's DPS increases by about 8k.

Please note as well that I'm using Republic Fleet EMP XL based on the notion that it's actually available out there somewhere to fire; having looked at eve-central I'm fairly confident you will be forced to use Arch Angel EMP XL, which is a slight decrease in DPS/Volley Damage.

Svo.

I think Jack's point wasn't about the alphaing but that if you've got 5 odd dreads in your home wormhole your gonna wtfbbq most carriers pretty quickly anyway so in that regard its not really a game changer.

Aside from the initial engagement range your still stuck in siege for 5 minutes whether its 0km or 120km thats not gonna be a huge game changer either tho I can imagine theres going to be some lols on voice comms the first time someone alphas down a cap with arty nags.
