Ships & Modules

1st and I'd say after this one no much more because you're usually dead after this one: "Get that falcon, kill it NAO !!"



Not my preferred reccon, felt really dirty after using a Rook a couple times. Lachesis and Arazu are my prefered but still, Falcon is a very nasty thing on your overview you want to get rid ASAP, you'll often be the very first target everyone switches to, a bit like dictors, they don't want you around.

For those guys I talk about using them frequently they tell me to not use it in other way than hot drops or gate camping, they can be used in many other pvp forms but seems the ships survivability becomes exponentially compromised, which is easy to get because that's exactly what I do whenever I see one on the overview no matter the primary target, I want to kill it ASAP and so do most of the guys in gang or fleet.

Edit: for gate camping you don't want to stick very close of that gate and try to apply whatever dps, imho.
ECM is a dice roll, you miss it and at 20km you can be sure you'll feel the pain.

smart bombs for anti drone work

+1 this is what you fit in your high slots(beside a cloak). Watch the cap.

If you want a solo pvp cloaky gank machine then you might want to try the pilgrim. Otherwise stick to the combat recons not the force recons since the force recons are more than squishy

There's a reason why "Blame Falcon" was a meme years ago. Google the history and you'll get an idea of why it's still loved (but only a shadow of what it used to be).

Appropriate highs:

Cloak, of course...
Smart bombs to clear drones....
Covert Cyno

Acceptible options I've seen:
Probe Launcher
Nuet
Nos
Remote Armor Repper (hull could work).
Cyno

Things you don't need:
Guns,
Guns,
Guns,
because your not there to do dps!!!

Now, if this is a "solo" setup, then obviously you need guns too.

Well it won't be a solo ship but were only going to have a total of two people in fleet. Possibly a third might join. In the interest of speeding up the murder I'm trying to go dps. Speed is our ally the longer the engagement the more likely there will be eccm support and more targets than we can deal with.

I am told my friend will try to bring a HAC as bait while I remain cloaked near by. Granted we've got a lot to work on but our fleet discipline is there and we work well together. I fear I've already given away to much but some understanding needed to be given, so the question could be clearly answered. I still cannot get confirmation from him though as to which if any HAC will be used in the fray.

Thanks so far for the enlightenment, I never thought of a plate. This then begs plate or EANM?

Being a falcon pilot, regular usuer and fc myself with alot of experiance with falcons: you really need to learn to fly it with disapline in small fleets. You will be insat primaried en as thin as paper. Range is your everything and best friend. Decloak moments, hide moments ect all choises that can chance outcomes of fights. It is whats fun of flying a falcon, extra risk factor... like flying light dicters.
