Missions & Complexes

I still think that can be done in a fairly polite way, instead of bashing people to for no particular reason.

As a matter of fact I consider most of the stuff Tsukino posted about some hulls highly subjective and mostly as a opinion of somebody that just looked stuff up in eft. It is less practical ingame(you want a mwd on the Vargur, you don't want a cap booster on a amarr hull, since it is quite limiting at longer missions or chained missions).

Also nobody can hit stuff at 2km with garde II drones(I stack tipple 90% webs to get the job done reasonable good as sentry drone bunny in Incs, since damage application really matter once you are in control of 24 sentry drones...). Angel BS orbit at 5-7km and you need multiple webs or a 90% web to archive reasonable damage against them with sentry's(I did run angel missions for years in a Kronos).

So my ship blow up or I quit in the middle of the mission?

BTW, you have no idea what you are talking about what T2 drones will do to my fit. There is 2 problems with t2 drones.

1. t2 drones takes more space. So I can fit way less of them on my ship.

2. t2 drones cost more.


Something that isn't obvious but wasn't explain before, and I didn't think it needed to be pointed out. I didn't point it out because I didn't use my t1 drones in many ways I can.

1. bait. If at any reason I feel my ship has a risk of getting blown up, I can release my t1 drones and use a MJD or warp. (or MJD then warp since there is no turning in a MJD)
Also, I can use them as bait in missions like the blockade. I can use some t1 drones to bring everyone where I want them, then I can pull out my sentry. It makes most missions stupid easy.

2. T1 drones cost less. T1 hob cost about 5k, so really 1 bad guy gives me that back many times over. This is to include small ships.

3. I can fit more t1 drones in my ship than t2. This means I can use more as bait, or as a throw away drones. Basically drones that are going to die, but doing what I need them to do.

4. To hold some damage on something. Kinda like what I was doing with the BS when I was moving to the gate. Like I had 2 things I could've done there. Sit there and take them out with my sentry drones. Or get closer to the gate then use my sentry drones.

Something that is obvious. T1 drones are great for taking down small ships. That's the biggest reason why I have them, so why should I fix that if it's not broke.


As far as the BS and angel extravaganza. My sentries are great in that missions. In fact, I use to do exactly what you said a year back. And it takes a lot longer.

_______________________________________________________________

I am only saying this so people start thinking about what they are going to say. People have seen my ship, and cry about the 2 guns I have. Saying I shouldn't mix guns, I don't know what I am doing with them, and so on. I don't know why people don't look at the obvious and say that may not be for killing. Anyone who thinks I was using T1 hobs to take out the BS are complete morons. T1 hobs will never take out a BS. In fact, it's questionable at times if it's going to take out a cruisers on L4.
Seriously, where is the common sense.

No they don't.

T2 drones are exactly the same size as their T1 counterparts. 5m3 for lights, 10m3 for mediums, 25m3 for heavies and sentries. You can fit exactly the same number of T2 drones into your drone bay as T1s, you can launch exactly the same number of T2 drones as T1s.

Yes, they're more expensive. T2 light drones are around 400k each, hardly bank-breaking for someone doing L4 missions.

Are you thinking of T2 mining crystals which are indeed larger than the T1 variants?

So what i post is subjective and opinions based off EFT, so when you comment about sentrys' ability to hit things at close range you're speaking from experience then? I would like to see how you fit your domi because mine has ABSOLUTELY no trouble hitting a battleship orbiting at 5-7k with no webs, painter, nothing.

pot calling kettle black. good job.

Craig once again proving his flawed knowledge (do you ever even check things before you talk about them?)

Aside from that: yes t2 drones are more expensive but they are MUCH more durable than t1. Following the gank=tank line of thought since they do more damage as well they take less damage because they clean things up faster, that combined with the fact that they are faster and more sturdy means that you will rarely lose a tech 2 light scout unless you aren't paying attention.

Furthermore your point 4:

"To hold some damage on something. Kinda like what I was doing with the BS when I was moving to the gate. Like I had 2 things I could've done there. Sit there and take them out with my sentry drones. Or get closer to the gate then use my sentry drones."

What's stopping you from using heavy drones?

"T1 drones are great for taking down small ships"

Yes they're great, guess what t2 drones are even better!

"Anyone who thinks I was using T1 hobs to take out the BS are complete morons."

Go to 7:40 on your own video. Are you, or are you not, using T1 hobs to "holding off the battleship from losing whatever damage as best as I could" (doesn't even make grammatical sense but whatever)?

Why not use heavy drones? Also T2 warriors are quite capable of eventually killing a battleship if you have the proper drone skills and a decent fitting (1 DDA on a domi, really?)

And I still don't understand your choice of guns, you never use them in any video you make with your domi.

here i thought he was going to be doing the mission IN a vengeance, which would've been much more of an interesting topic.

That is largely the point yes. If he was missioning in a ship with less tank, he'd understand and point out the important parts of the missions when he got around to doing a vid, and the only important thing is how to manage the aggro and tracking to npc's in that particular mission so as to allow yourself to use a single rep, high damage fit.

One of the great things about the dominix is how well it performs now with all level "4" skills. You can run 3 DDAs, you can avoid a T2 tank with faction resists and a faction rep, and the worst of the problems with navy gardes vs garde Iis is now wallpapered over by the tremendous hull bonus.

Its particularly irritating to watch a dominix do less dps than a single rep myrmidon that could in fact just stand at the beacon and orbit a drone and sig/orbit tank enough fire to not actually die anyway...

can you stop following everything I post attempting to make a counter to it?

Of course my domi is much faster, I have 4 DDAs on it, use my guns and don't use T1 hobs to "keep up damage" while I move.

Also you just discredited anything you say about missions with that comment, blitz with a tengu, honestly.

Those videos are because it's a challenge, his videos are using a domi (generally accepted level 4 hull) and he's salvaging and looting which means hes clearly doing them for profit.

I'm not going to comment on isk/hour because I never said that was the purpose of the video, you're the one who brought it up. However as a video "guide" it's not telling someone how to run this efficiently.

The purpose of the video was to show someone how to run this mission, however because it's done in such a terrible way I cannot categorise this as a "guide" since it's doing so many things wrong. I don't think there's demand for this kind of content anyway since even if these guides are horrible they should have more views than they currently do just from people searching and clicking on it out of curiosity.
