Yeah, so its supposed to be a combat recon right? With long webs it seems like it would be a natural ship for artillery, but EFT just laughed at me when i tried. The thing is missing like a few hundred pg.

How are you supposed to fit one?

You can do double LSE+720s for a RCU in the lows. Do you want to use it for support, or combat though? Huginns excel at gang support, they are not supposed to have uber DPS.

Not supposed to have uber DPS, no, but I'm hoping when recons undergo rebalancing combat recons will be beefed up quite a bit. They should have some considerable staying power at least. Staying power is the only reason I can think of to want to fly a combat as opposed to force recon, and they really don't have a lot of it right now.

Combat recons really should have a lot more ehp. Like 15-20k instead of 6 like now.

I was trying to get a respectable combat fit. Dual webs, point, mwd, and be able to fit 3 launchers and 3 turrets for not complete crap dps. And also not autocannons because why would i want autocannons to shoot something I have webbed 25km away. Isn't getting a bit of dps (nothing big even, just a few hundred at range), the whole point of flying a huginn over a rapier?

Not really. The Huginns' better ladar strength together with the speed/versatility/sig/targeting stats and the defensive DPS when stationed near logi makes it more competitive in the support role. The Rapier excels as a hunter, blops gank participant or in many niche webbing duties (freighter escort, gatecamps etc).

Having said that, have you tried the following (you have AWU V right)?

Add bling as applicable, a couple of RF webs is a must. Before the RLM re-balance the launchers were a lot better, and you could set both LSE to T2 too. Sadly, its impossible now.

Have in mind that some go for a LSE+invul combo, change the PDS for an RCU and close the kinetic in the second rig. I'm not fond of this personally, the cap is a lot more restrictive in that configuration.

Very important for takin out those pesky AHAC/100MN AB Fleets. Faction webs minimum and a TP. Play to your strengths and leave the tackle and dps to other ships.
Weapons are for point defence/anti frig work, used to run with Smart Bombs to clear drones off other ships like logi.

Sit behind the dps but infront the logi.

For small gang work... id use a rapier or a more well rounded ship. A daredevil

Gotan's Modified Stasis Webifier

Yes, and that looks pretty good. Thanks.
