Warfare & Tactics

I tried ganking a new golem today.

Probed him out guarding a mining op, warped to him, Hulks warped off just as I landed, so i tacked the golem.

I had 850dps 100k ehp probing legion and a 500dps cerberus alt.

Golem had bastion mode.

I couldnt even put a scratch into his tank, and after a minute was forced to get off the field in deep armor. Brought a LOT of friends later, but they docked up and stayed docked. Will try black ops drop later.

So, who had success with breaking new marauders, and how many ships you guys had?

Switch that cerb alt for a pilgrim. Neut him flat and he'll die in a hilariously expensive fire.

You had a Legion? Rock the neut sub. Yeah he'll still be able to shoot at you with missiles but your repper should be plenty if you're speed tanking. Follow up by splitting for some lasers or drones, though tbh I haven't tried a mixed outfit in a while. Pilgrim works too.

could you even break a t1 battleship with that dps?

Dude, if he was X-ASB fitted, you were going to be there until he ran out of charges.

Is this another "I need to be able to kill everything in my blingy" thread?
If you really want that kill drop a blap dread. If not dont.

No, this is a "My fit didn't work, do you have any suggestions to get better" thread. The difference is subtle, but this is infinitely more tolerable. In this situation, someone recognizes their folly and takes proactive steps to improve, while in your scenario someone just complains that their ship can't do everything flawlessly.

People looking to get better = 90% of the forum's purpose.

If they killed drones they might have enough dps to keep pressure on his cap and have him cap himself out. His Nos is worthless with the changes to them.

I would also like to see the fit where the Cloaky Prober Legion is having 350 dps or *850* which is probably not said well. Cloaky Legion is only viable as a laser one, and fight that much ehp its tanked in lows, so it's around 170-200 dps top top i think, I'm flying a Legion so would like to see that. Or you just rounded a number up high, and you had even less DPS and tried taking down a Golem which is now a mini Chimera :P.

This is to show the noobs who doubt my 850dps claim that they are, in fact, noobs. ChrisLTR, youre Kill it with Fire, you should know better how to twink t3's man. Shame on you.

subsystems:
emergent locus
liquid crystal
aug. plating
power core multiplier
chassis optimization

6 beams w/ gleam, max skills, 3 navy heatsinks, 5% turret implants = roughly 850 dps. 800 standard, 850 overloaded. I can run em for about a minute hot, usually enough to kill most ratters (gilas, ishtars, domis, ravens, drakes, etc)

1 fed navy 1600mm plate, navy adaptive nano, dcu is 106k ehp (with t2 trimarks and explosive rig ofcourse). Need 6% power implant tho, or no afterburner for you.

plenty of cpu left for sisters launcher, sansha scrambler, fed navy web. orbit at 8km, gleams do the work nicely.

i never said my legion was cloaky. I dont need cloaky. Never said it was cheap either, but im not poor. proteus would probably be even better, but i cant fly it perfectly yet... [edit] yeah just checked, proteus has a little bit less tank, but can pack 1000dps standard, and doesnt even need a power implant. Nice.
