Ships & Modules

So with the recent changes to the requirements for Command ships I will be sitting in a Sleipnir once I log in today.

I have seen a lot of different thread about how to fit them, etc, etc, so I come here for some more detailed advice.

Currently I can use t2 everything that I would want to fit, can afford faction stuff if needed, and am running a full set of HG Crystals. What I am looking for is a variety of fits that would all serve the same purpose: Solo/small gang low sec pew pew. I would also like a bit of detail on why I should use ASB's over active tanking (other than the cap problems).

The current fit I have been playing around and ratting with is as follows:

Highs:

220's
medium nos



Mids:

Pith A-type shield booster
Invuln
Scram
cap booster
10mn mwd




Lows:

TE
3x republic fleet gyro
DCII



Rigs:
Undecided but leaning towards filling the kin. hole, and + shield




How does this look, and would I just be better off selling off the shield booster, buying some XL ASB's , and going down in a ball of fiery glory?

Other fits are much appreciated as well.

As always, thanks in advance.


Edit: I would also like to use it for blitzing level 3 missions in LS so some pvp capable fits that would allow me to blitz lvl 3's would be nice as well.

Too much pimp for 3's, you know your Sleipnir is doing 800dps with hail (425's) all T2 fitted, has -/+ 1700 physical rep amount with single xl-asb (navy 400's) and no implants/combat boosters/links, it's a hell of a beast already T2 fitted leave it alone faction fitted+pirate implants.
Only major issue with imho is mobility, it's a space brick.

^He has a scram fit, he is talking about pvp. he merely would like to know if he can do lvl3s aswell in it.

For your question, first, use the eft format to post. Well lets see for a pith type one you are looking at

[Sleipnir, New Setup 1]
Damage Control II
Gyrostabilizer II
Gyrostabilizer II
Gyrostabilizer II
Tracking Enhancer II

Pith A-Type Large Shield Booster
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
Warp Scrambler II
Experimental 10MN Microwarpdrive I
Imperial Navy Medium Capacitor Booster, Navy Cap Booster 800

425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
Medium Unstable Power Fluctuator I

Medium Anti-Kinetic Screen Reinforcer II
Medium Anti-Explosive Screen Reinforcer II


Warrior II x2
Valkyrie II x3

Well, with your implants you are looking at a 1k dps tank at the cost of 200 million more then a asb fit.

Now lets take a look at a asb fit:

[Sleipnir, dual xlasrge]
Internal Force Field Array I
Gyrostabilizer II
Gyrostabilizer II
Co-Processor II
Co-Processor II

X-Large Ancillary Shield Booster, Cap Booster 400
X-Large Ancillary Shield Booster, Cap Booster 400
Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler I
Shield Boost Amplifier II
Experimental 10MN Microwarpdrive I

Dual 180mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
Dual 180mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
Dual 180mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
Dual 180mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
Dual 180mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
Dual 180mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
Dual 180mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M
[empty high slot]

Medium Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer II
Medium Anti-Explosive Screen Reinforcer II


Valkyrie II x3
Warrior II x2

Less dps/range but better tracking, 1915/2439dps tank per booster. So twice the tank for 200mil less. Now if you invest in a tengu link alt you are looking at a 4400/5611dps tank per booster (11170 with both running with heat).


So finally: asb is way better then pith stuff.
