EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hey,

So I've been playing EVE on and off for a while now, basically playing when I have the money. I recently have gotten my skills trained up for t2 launchers and some other tech to fit my corax. I'm trying to use this fit:
http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/65023-L2-PvE-Corax.html#loadout
I have the skills to fit most of it (Everything but the sensor boosterII) but after I fit all the launchers I can't really fit anything else, and if I use the rigs I can't fit all the launchers even without anything else fitted. My question is this; what am I doing wrong? are there skills I should have trained to a certain level? or if not what implants should I buy?

-Thanks for any help

The lml corax is a tight fit. Honestly, anything with lml's is a tight fit. You will need to sacrifice tank & some utility for fitting mods/rigs until you get your fitting skills up to par.

Are you using eft or pyfa? You can play around with relevant skills in a fit to see what you will need make something work. I suggest taking this fit into eft and making yourself a training plan. Then for the time being just start downgrading things and swapping stuff out for fitting mods until you can fly some version of it right now.

If you noticed in that post the guy said he spent all his time training missiles and fitting skills. You have the missiles down...

Dont forget shield upgrades to reduce the requirements on that tank and rig skills will lower their massive cpu consumption.

Yea... so good thing this is in the new citizens forum... I'm really bad at acronyms... what do EFT and PYFA stand for?

As for implants that will help you, check out the Skill Hardwiring page in the Evelopedia: the ones most of interest to you might be the Engineering and Electronics ones (these days the skills are "CPU Management" and "Powergrid Management"). That page doesn't include the Genolution Core Augmentation implants, which provide you with more bonuses.

Actually, that fit needs Launcher Rigging 5! (or a CPU implant).

To the OP: I wouldn't worry too much about T2 launchers. Meta 4 launchers will do almost as much damage and are much easier to fit. (Meta 4 have the same stats as T2, but they don't get the bonus from the T2 skill.)

And nobody so far asked how good his core skills are.

Well let me do that.

OP, how good are your core skills?

All skills that benefit fitting:

CPU Management: 5% more CPU per level
Power Grid Management: 5% more powergrid per level
Weapon Upgrades: 5% less CPU need for weapons per level
Shield Upgrades: 5% less powergrid need for shield extenders, shield rechargers &c
Advanced Weapon Upgrades (requires Weapon Upgrades V): 2% less powergrid need for weapons per level
Electronics Upgrades: 5% less CPU need for signal amplifiers, co-processors &c
Energy Grid Upgrades: 5% less CPU need for most of the modules listed under "Engineering Equipment"
Mining Upgrades 5% less CPU need for mining upgrade modules (useful for miners but, of course, only for miners)

The rigging skills and subsystem skills also help, albeit situational.

Generally my rule of thumb is. if you need implants to fit the ship you are not ready for the ship.

Subsytem skills dont help at all with anything but a Tech3 cruiser.

Also core skills:

Any skill that gives more shield / armor / hull HP or gives you better shield recharge rates.

Any extra HP you can get is good. A dead ship is useless. If 100 HP is the diffefence between survival or death...that skill is helpful.
