I'm **** at making my own fits :P I'm moving to NullSec. Have never done this stuff before (plexing etc.), so I need a reliable ship.


I can fly either armor or shield.

Caldari Navy Raven - T2 Cruise Missiles (level 3 supporting skills, meh)

Gallente Battleships - Meta 4 hybrids, T2 Drones, T1 Sentries.

Minmatar Battleships (or Faction Minnie BS) - T2 Autocannons and Artillery - lvl 4-5 Supp skills



I don't wanna take my Incursion Machariel, because it's my last lifeline incase things go ****-up. I can't really afford any faction mods right now either.

What's my best option? What should I fit?


Thanks -

With your skills against angels I'd go with an arty maelstrom. Its the safer choice since you're new to null pve. Stick to anoms until you get the hang of things down there. They're a pretty forgiving ship for fittings, lots of different options. Download eft and try things out for yourself. meta 4 1400mm are fine, t2 1200mm are easy to fit not as good range. T2 1400s fit now, but need a shoehorn. Autocannon maels are also a thing, short range and slow though.

Thanks for the advice. I have many questions >.<
Would I still be able to do Plexes in an Arty Mael?
Will I be able to make a decent 100m~ an hour with it it?
What modules am I looking to fit? Active tank?

Ideally active tanked mael with 800 acs do forsaken hubs. warp in at 0 start killing rats move towards the frist wreck. All rats should spawn in the magic20km range from the first wreck.


Kill ****.

It can make 100m an hour. Actually a ton of **** can do that as well.

If you got nice drone skills a passive tank or active tank rattlesnake is nice as well warp in at 50 or 70km and drop sentries. For angles use kinetic or explosive damage for max DPS. Forsaken hubs are nice. And I think forlorn hubs are a bit easier but not as much isk. As of plexes ask a corp mate to help you out. RR domi's are great with that. Good luck though

I'd use a ravenkind over a Mael these days. Since the cruise missile buff, CML ravens do a lot of DPS, and range independent, pure damage-type DPS at that. And they don't need to burn cap motoring about to get close to the rats to do their EFT DPS either; they can put on an MJD and hop around the anomaly to keep their distance from the rats without even breaking lock.

CNR/Raven doing random anoms/plexes > Mael doing random anoms/plexes, I'd say.

The AC Mael might be better at 0-farming Forsaken Hubs, though.

I much prefer the AC Maelstrom over a vanilla Raven for Angel Forsaken Hubs. It just *feels* like I'm doing more damage because the damage is applied instantly, and the guns cycle faster. Load Fusion and go to town. It also has a very forgiving tank.

A sentry Dominix will not do you wrong either. With a mjd fit, you will easily stay out of range of the rats, and blast away.
