Player Features and Ideas Discussion

you'd need to look at amarr then or specific domi fits. Worth noting neither of these options are missile based either. Amarr turret/crystal combos will get you turret sniping. Tweaking of sentry range (bouncer II) gets you drone sniping.

Beside that....raven if you want missile sniping says hi.


All I can say is don't focus on the top page of eft. Give rokh a go with plutomium/uranium and mix mjd in. 100+kms optimal easy this way. Its not earth shattering dps but its not too bad over other turrets who are well into falloff x-over points that bleed off their damage (if they are even in falloff).

For pve I run this way to blap the crap out of frigs and cruisers. Many die fast and easy. Then I swtich to AM, get to optimal and kill BS'.

PVP wise its lack of tank mention seems to be pilot error. First you have a very nice 4% per level resist. Second you have range. When FC says BS's warp to Player X....you warp to player x + 10,20,30 kms. Pick based on ammo you like/are running and jsut try to stay under a range you can be on grid warped to your only rules here.


Most times fc is calling this warp in based on pest/mael/apoc/mega ranges. As unless a rokh heavy fleet this will be his average range he works with. YOu adding range has you out from them.

How this works out for you is the enemy most times will shift to have all those shorter ranged boats in range. You being out of optimal (and hopefully deep in falloff) of reds will mean if/when fire walks its way to you take less damage. You then get to make the call to stay and ride out the storm or warp off. many a time primary calls wiping my fleet mates saw me taking much less damage for the gtfo, take a breather, and warp back in for round 2,3,4, etc.

Basically you aren't a 1600mm plated ehp monster...don't fly your boat like you are one the tl;dr.

The goal CCP had is to make two weapon choice lines for each race, Gallente have Drone or Hybrids, Minmattar have projectiles and missiles, Caldari have missiles / hybrids, and Amarr have lasers, drones/nuets.

Giving every ship a specific role ensured each ship would be used. If every ship had 8 hard points for each weapon system it would bland out ths ship lines.

For the OP - If you want to cross train - try a Typhoon. It's another great missile BS. If you are looking for more in the caldari line-up the command ships, HACs, and T3 (tengu) all offer some excellent missile (and hybrid) options with better applied DPS on smaller targets.

I feel your pain; though I don't share the need to change the Rokh.
