Ships & Modules

Hey, Would anyone like to share a working C3 solo wormhole fit with me?
Dont tell me I should get a Tengu.

If you are truly solo how are you getting at the yummy sleeper salvage?

Thx I look into it. I live at a POS and got an salvager alt so salvaging aint a problem.

You've never ran a C3 solo, have you?

Right.

So when you're scrammed by the sleepers, and your active tank is being neuted to fuckery, your grand plan is to what, warp out?

Not to mention, the fit you posted will apply less DPS to the sleepers than a T2 fit drake, which will do the same for 1/10th the cost.

Again, you've never run a C3 site, have you?

Umm, have you? i run C3 sites every day, and though i use a tengu now, i've ventured through MANY ships, and you seem to be misinformed about a few things.

Drake DPS: I'd LOVE to see you fit a drake that can not only tank a C3 site solo, but also put out more then 250 DPS. Fleet ops, sure, no problem with atleast 3 of them. Solo however, you will not be able to fit a sufficient tank and more then 1 BCU.

Nuets: Not all sleepers nuet. Say it again folks, Not all sleepers nuet. Learn the archtypes, and unless they are the trigger, take them out first (hint: the nueting ones also have very high DPS, but have glass tanks themselves). I normally shoot for 45% or better cap stability, and with that i can survive the BS nuets long enough to kill them. Above 55% and you should be able to maintain cap under a single BS nuet, or several cruiser, though for lesser time.

Scrams: Yeah, same thing as with nuets, only they are even rarer until you get to C4's and up. Dont worry Too much about these, once you know which sites have them and which spawns they are in, they become non-issue.

As to the OP: your fit is workable on EFT, but you will find issues in Real EVE. Loki's and Legions are great for one thing in WH's as far as PVE goes, and that's killing frigates. Having even one or two in fleet to take out the frigates while the beefier ships aim for cruiser and up will speed things up drastically. Solo work is difficult though because of your limited range. The AB would solve this, but WEBS actually are very common in C3 sites. Your fancy AB isn't gonna help too much when you have 4 frigates on you, webbing from 40km away.

I would change one or two things though.

Cap flux coil ---> Power Diagnostic = Better shield reps per cycle, slightly less cap stability, but cap buffer is larger and this actually helps alot with resisting sleeer nuets. Increased shield HP is nice too.

Gyro ---> Tracking enhancer (only one of them) = Yes, less paper DPS, but this will help ALOT with increasing your native falloff, and your applied DPS. There is a reason nearly EVERY autocannon ship you see will have atleast one. Tracking, optimal, falloff all in one.

I would also consider changing 1 tracking computer for a shield boost amplifier. Personal preference, nice module to have on ANY active shield ship. And the trackign enhancer should help offset the loss of 1 tracking computer.

Ammo, faction is too fancy. Either use regular T1, or use T2 ammo (barrage helps alot in the beginning of a fight). Faction ammo just costs too much when you are spitting them out like a machine gun (on artillery fits however, faction is AMAZING) . Sleepers omni tank, so it doesn't matter which dmg type you shoot. If you can afford faction, it will help kill faster, but make sure it's worth the premium cost.

All in all, the loki CAN work for solo work, and for fleets it's actually very useful as it can buzz around in it's best range while others are tanking. when i use a projectile ship for WH, i Prefer the Sleipnir myself. Similar tactics to the loki, but bigger buffers on everything. 750+ DPS and a 650 DPs tank on mine, though it still suffers the range issue, same as the Loki. It's nice for fleets though.

Khanraa please shut the **** up and tell him how to fit it instead or **** off. Its simple as that

I used to use a Loki to solo C3's. At the time I remember looking and struggling to find a decent fit to do the job. I never thought to go passive/buffer as I figured an active tank would be essential. Anyway this is what I came up with and used it to great success in many many C3's.

With my skills it's cap stable at 42%, however given the great resists I only had to pulse the large booster to get the shields back to 100% in no time. It allowed me to keep my cap pretty much full to buy time in the event of neuting. There was one site (can't remember which one), in which I sometimes had to warp out ONCE due to heavy neuting, however by the time I'd turned around and warped back in my cap was full again. You do get webbed but with barrage ammo and the TE you can usually know them down pretty quick. Other than that things were a total breeze. From memory C3 radars and mags had too much repping so getting though them was more trouble than it was worth.

This fit was built to be cheap. Those faction mods in the mids are dirt cheap and more for fitting purposes than anything. The most expensive part is the 2 tech 2 rigs.

I know that there are probably better fits out there to do the job, but this is what I came up with at the time, it worked great and it made me billions. It's worth a look for comparisons sake at least.

As a bonus this thing is so much fun to fly. My Tengu is boring in comparison ;)
