Very nice fights. I have two questions

1) I Notice you appear to be using hotkeys for alot of modules, am i just missing the clicks? If you are, then what hotkeys are you using? Because Ive been meaning to start using them but find it hard to find any keys im comfortable using as hotkeys in eve.

2) In the last fight with links, was it just loki links or was it loki + legion links?


1) Yes I hotkey all the modules. I use hotkeys like this:

highs: qwert
meds: asdf
lows: zxcvb

and I used ctrl for heat.

but other people do them different ways too. Takes surprisingly little time to get used to, I recommend it.

cheers :)


Great video, Kovorix. Couple questions though, if you can find the time to answer.

Firstly, hotkeys. I take it you're not text chatting much while you're pvping, so you can afford to use them?
Also, it's just qwert, no modifier key such as alt or ctrl or anything?

Secondly, a more technical question:
As someone who's flown that ship extensively, what do you think is an effective counter to a similarly fit NOmen?
And if you find it difficult to think of a counter, would that, in your opinion, make it imbalanced?

Thanks again for posting such a great vid, there's hope for solo yet!


Know you are asking the OP..

But honestly... A TD with a range script will make a NOmen useless.

So grab any fast ship that excels at brawling, slap a TD on it... and burn towards the NOmen. If they realize what you are doing they will try to leave.. If you catch them you got a dead NOmen.

Yeah that's it with the hotkeys :)

As far as counters, yeah there are a number. As diesel said, a TD is troublesome, although 1 on an undedicated ship isn't the end of the world (i've had to deal with that).

A cynabal with a web and scram and neut would give a lot of trouble if it got tackle early. Also anything with high native EM resist - a vagabond with a scram is certain death for a nomen, and jaguars/wolfs suck to deal with if flown well. Loki as well. Rapiers of course and anything with sentries these day :)

Incredible video. Watched it at least 10 times now, and I'm glad you're back! True solo pvp is something great, and I hope people will realize it isn't quite dead!

Looks like I'll be spending a lot of my time coming up with ways of applying your tactics to a bunch of ships and figuring out ways to counter them :D

There is a difference in asking how to counter this ship with or without links, without links you can just use a harbi or a arty cane or a good vaga/cyna, hell even a non ****** absolution can usually easily kill a Nomen, reason beeing is that point rnage forces a omen up close, into unbonused scorch range. A shield harbi will rip the Nomen a new one in seconds, same with a good flown vaga or cynabal.

In the end the Nomen is a cruiser with 400dps and 16k ehp with a 250dps tank for 1 minute that then turns to a 86dps tank. That really isnt hard to beat, no links means this is forced into 28km and at that range a lot can kill it.

Now if you fly it with links the Nomen can abuse its range, at 42km there is a whole lot less that can do real dps and its a whole lot harder to kill, while a ac shield cane can winat 28km at 40km its without a chance.


And as the rest already mentioned, tds can kill at as can a good fast frigate. Hell, a single (linked) dual td condor could solo one half afk.


And lets not forget the talos and co, a single good flown shield talos would rip the Nomen apart in seconds, (which in turn really shows how bad his opponents really were).


Dont think just because you see him doing these things you can easily hop into one and do the same (which, seeing recent Nomen losses and prices quite a lot of people assume), you need to have the talent to find really bad opponents, in Fw space everything will force you to land on 0, where they will rip it appart, and dont forget links and such, a linked ceptor will have you scrammed/nosed before you can even lock it. You will get swamped by tds, and so on.

This part i disagree with, having flown against a number of taloses, and not just terrible ones. They won't track you within 15-10k, and 1km/s margin gives you enough to stay there reliably with some piloting. It's not a sure thing by any means, but i'll engage a lone talos or tornado any day in the nomen.

And honestly most of the stuff you mention gives the ship plenty of opportunity to simply leave, except i guess the condor but why would you fight those anyway? It's an amazing roaming ship because, like any nano-ship, you can leave when too many counters hit the field. I've only lost it by being an idiot (around 15 times now Lol).

Just because many of the opponents included in the video weren't challenging the ship, it doesn't mean it's not an extremely flexible and fun ship for 0.0 combat with a huge engagement envelope. Of course I'd never warp it at 0 in a FW plex, and I hope nobody else would either. I can say it takes very little "talent" to find appropriate opponents (in 0.0), as literally every time I undocked in it I got at least 1 reasonable fight and usually 5-6 fights or more, including instances where I had to replace the scorch because it wore out. I haven't counted exactly, but do you really think that the 130ish kills i've gotten in it over the last month and a half were ALL a result of a 'talent' for finding bad opponents?

Not saying its bad, just saying that those ships can win or at least force itoff.

A a heating talos burning away from the Nomen will track it nearly perfectly.

Well it all depends on where and how the engagement starts, since the nomen had damned well better be heating too. Again not saying it's a sure thing, but it's a fight I would take every time.

The video is great as always.
How you evaded the hurricane trying to peel you off the deimos is just sweet.

Glad you are back to making these =)

Great vid! Love the sound track, love Gramatik!

That poor curse almost had you, that was a great 1v1, real surprised you managed get enough cap from your booster to get those crucial reps and actually hit it in time.

Why did you try and brawl a drake and curse with a nomen?

why not)))))

pretty sure in nomen vs curse you want to be at point-blank range - 0 km or 37.8 km, the curse will still be able to neut, so might as well do most damage.
