Ships & Modules

It's inefficient. The Proteus has no shield tank subsystems and you have no shield hardeners. While your ASB might seem effective at repairing some superficial damage, it's probably the most inefficient method of tanking (combined with your lack of hardeners) you could have chosen.

It has an adaptive invul in fourth mid. I think it comes to EM 64 Therm 90 Ken 91 Expl 78. With XLASB giving 14000 pure shield HP for 9 activations thats going to be around 70k EHP.

Also in regards to web, if they have AB on maybe but Im attacking BS / BC so with scram can easily keep up and big targets for med blasters.

EFT tells me it's 29k EHP. That's less than my Maller.

Its covert ops.

Its 37k on mine. You're maller doesnt have a XLASB though.

Has to be more than that, EFT is giving me 1400 hp ps active repping. Engaged Oracle and Drake so far and tank was unbreakable.

That Oracle took you into 5% hull and you only survived because he ran out of cap and escaped. You said so earlier.

Nah i took the oracle into hull with full shield but forgot to switch off ASB autorepeat, capped myself out lol. Got him to 5% hull while I lost my shield and armor but had to warp out 40% hull.

Whitehound has it right on the subs.



Is the optimal configuration, by far. Gives the critical 5 guns, give the massive boost to scram range, and makes it lickety-fast without consuming much cap.

Now, let's talk mods.

You can, if you want to get a little bit of that speed back, trade some EHP for it by swapping to a Tungsten plate, which drops about 2600 EHP in exchange for about 1,000,000 less mass addition. Your choice, they are more or less the same price anyway.

Also, I would try and go for faction mag stabs, but only two, because with stacking penalties fitting one T2 and two faction is the same thing anyway.

Now, you might look at it and think that the tracking enhancers are gone, it will apply less dps. Not with the web(moreso with a Fed Navy web). It's application should be just about the same. The web also counters the small loss of speed from fitting an armor tank, and since you are a cloaky anyway, you should be able to get within tackle range (14km for full tackle) easily. Furthermore, I would make that faction scram into a Shadow Serpentis Warp Scrambler. It has a warp scram level of 3 (I know, it's OP as hell), which makes it possible to catch and nail someone with a warp stab. This is beyond hilarious, half the time they will yell at you and accuse you of haxx, and try to petition their loss, even after you link them the mod.

As he mentioned, just on it's buffer alone it has a bit better tank than your Proteus. With the Ancillary Armor Repairer added into the mix, it has a bit of burst rep too (although this will make you lug around cap boosters, but with your fit you were doing that anyway)

The benefit of this hybrid buffer/rep setup is that it works well for the style of combat you want to use it for. If you're in a safe situation, you can just unload the repper, and just rep back up from any damage taken.

With this fit, you won't have any issues of self sustainability until you run out of ammo. (by the way, using Blockade Runners to leave ammo drops throughout your hunting grounds is not a bad idea, honestly. Just anchor a secure can here and there at safe spots with as much faction ammo as you can cram into it. I like to do it nearby people's POS'es, to fool people using D-scan. You'd be surprised how long people will just leave it alone.)

lol @ active tank Proteus without cap booster/NOS and drones

Proteus Offensive - Covert Reconfiguration
Proteus Defensive - Augmented Plating
Proteus Propulsion - Localized Injectors
Proteus Electronics - Friction Extension Processor
Proteus Engineering - Augmented Capacitor Reservoir

work from there, or swap the buffer for the active subsys.

Its not an active shield tanker, its more a buffer shield fit with the buffer in the charges. ASB cant be capped out by nuets.
