Tbh.. I have yet to figure out a gnosis fit that is in any sense of the word 'good', somewhat decent, yes, but compared to any other ship, whatever I fit, the specific T1 ship wins.

Oh and yes, silly fits are fun... while mining in lowsec in my venture, I was almost killed by another venture that was sporting blasters, luckily I had ECM on board and managed to jam him before he killed me, and escaped with 31% hull left.

Does railgun ammunition come in Hollow Point?

If you fit up a Gnosis for cargo, you can get 5880 m3 space out of it. I want to fit up one of those as a frigate gang "support" ship, to carry frigates for refitting while still being able to participate in some combat. Like this:

I remember weapon layots like that from the Maelstrom...

Was on ym first cruiser ever: "ok, something for long range, something for short range, and just one missile launchers for frigattes... Yeah, that should do it."

Half an hour later I fit a new cruiser with lots and lots of long range weapons thinking "Screw'em, Imma gonna blast them from over here!"

EDIT: Oh, btw. this was really the best part of the article "It took me 1hour 30mins and 1900 shots of void to kill him.“ I really loved that. Lol

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

Try fitting a mining barge with tank bonuses with drone damage amps and jump gates in low sec. amazing how many kills mining barges can get. They also make amazing bait.
I have also read stories of entire mining fleets sitting in low sec belts but actually combat fit.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

Reminds me.... I once saw a fitting of a large shield extended thrasher with 125mm turrets and according to EFT it works!

There's a guy in provi who does that while ice-mining with 12 multiboxed procurers. Tackle him and he'll (or his bot!) instantly tackle/web you right back, then all the drones pile on.

Fortunately I had a covert cyno gang on call that time......

Seems like 'Hull tanking' is pretty simple. Fit a DC and hope you don't take too much damage Cool.

You really think someone would do that? Just log into EvE and tell lies?

Those are... way better then I thought. I was thinking they were 5-10% but 25% is pretty decent.

It would make for hilarious kill-mails if you managed to knock off an unsuspecting solo T2 or T3.

"Lost my tengu again."
"How?"
"Another one of those OP Nereus PvP gangs."

That just gave me an idea. 'Revenge of the Hulks!'

"Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances." - Sun Tzu

I haven't done much in the way of PvP, but I've always noticed two things that always happened the few times that I did:

1) I was using a fit that everyone told me would fail miserably because it didn't conform to their own personal template.

2) Whether our fleet won or lost the fight, I always managed to somehow emerge without a scratch.

Take you will from that.
