(No T3s / Marauders please.)

What prompted me to start this thread is: I was recently looking to fit a ship for running some Lvl 4's to bump my Amarr standings a bit. Having to decide between a Marauder and missile/drone boats (didn't want to deal wth TD issues), I started playing with some fits in EFT, until I tried a Fleet Typhoon... and it just blew me away Shocked

.

Granted, I have been away from any serious mission running for more than a year (meaning before the battleship rebalance), so maybe this fit is not as incredible as it seemed to me at first; but that's why I wan't you to share your favorite ones: to see if there are other hidden gems out there - or to find out that they are not so "hidden" and rare after all.

Anyway, here goes. Notice I put some moderate bling on it, which is mostly due to CPU constraints, but this can also actually be done as a T2 fit - with the help of implants and a few Meta 4 modules, without hugely affecting its effectiveness.

What so beautiful about this?

* WIth Wardens II EFT shows ~1250 DPS projected almost uniformly across entire 105km targetting range (all skills 5, no implants). You get almost as good a projection with Curators and Bouncers.

* ~500m/s AB speed (love them Minnie ships Bear

)

* Damage application is fantastic, both in kiting and sniping modes (kill/snipe frigates and cruisers with drones. Against BS's use Cruises + sentries, switch launchers to next target when in structure and let the sentries finish them off).

Granted, the Typhoon is a skill intensive ship, but once you got the skills... Shocked

I think I used to use something along the lines of this, it required 3 implants Core Augmention CA-1 & 2, and an CPU +3% implant. According to EFT it put out around 1350dps with the sentries and from what I recall it just slaughtered everything in the room. Tank wasn't a problem as long as you triggered things correctly and you throttled the shield properly. Though I think this may have been before the last changes to the shields they made, I think they buffed shields a bit since the last time I used this and I went with somewhat cheaper modules. It's more a gank tank, if you are having a problem with your tank you won't in a minute when everything is dead.

The Auto Targetting System is being used due to CPU constraints and because it's quite handy being able to have more locked targets, and something to auto lock targets for you after you taken out all the priority targets and just mopping up the rest of the room.

Never tried perfecting the TFI build as my internet connection is too shoddy and I almost lost it on a few occasions due to disconnects before I could even make up the money I invested. So this ship for the most part is retired.

You're forced to sit still because of sentries and then you're forced to slow boat to the gate/mission item because you have no prop mod. You'll be much better off swapping your fit a bit so you can fit an AB even if that means losing some paper dps because overall you'll gain mission completion speed (assuming multiple gates etc).

"cheap fit" in combination with a faction ship and ammo doesn't necessarily make sense, not saying one should overly bling it but a bit doesn't hurt much; 1 or 2 faction BCS would help and wouldn't really change anything in regards to becoming a gank target.

Also, generally, if you stick to T1 rigs you tend to be better off with 3 rigors vs 2 rigors + 1 flare. If you fit T2 rigs then 2 R + 1 F makes good sense.

That is my "cheaper" build for that ship that I used and was labled as such in EFT and I didn't bother changing the name. From what I recall the 2x rigor 1x flare was a better combo than the 3x rigor when I did the math to it a long time ago. As for slow boating it, I swap the fit as needed when it's a mission where you need to go to a lot of gates.

It's a cheaper build because I'd prefer not to spend an absurd amount of money on a faction ship + T2 rigs + CN BCU's + deadspace modules, so this is the more reasonable setup. It was designed as a practical isk making machine when I needed to make some isk to plex back when I used to fund my account that way. Spending a large amount of isk for a minimal amount of performance gain seemed pointless when I would probably never make back the difference. And I actually picked up the TFI back when it was a lot cheaper last time I checked on the prices.

As for not using the CN BCU's I already had the implants and the other modules were cheap, and once again I probably never see the return on the faction BCU's with how little I was planning to fly it. As I posted that was what I used to fly, not a recommended build for everybody. I'd fit it to the appropriate mission in terms of resists, and AB if the mission required it. If I decided to run missions regularly I could see the CN BCU's paying off but at the time, I didn't and I don't now with how little I mission.

As for your comment on cheap ammo, I fail to see where your going with that considering I was popping Cruisers-BS's pretty dang fast with just the T2 Furies and generally left the Frigs to the sentries while they approached. So actual use of the DPS I had seemed pretty dang good.

With all 5s, against Serpentis, using 1 Thermic, 2 Kinetic hardeners, you'd get a tank of 631. Cap stable at 40%. Using Conflag and 5 Hammerhead IIs, you'd get 976 DPS out to 21KM optimal, 31KM falloff. With Scorch, you get 62KM optimal, 72KM falloff, putting up 743 DPS.

If the mission calls for it, and somehow Scorch isn't long enough range, you can swap the 8 Pulse out for 7 Tachyon- can't fit 8 without going over the power grid limits- doing 562 DPS at 91KM optimal, 116KM falloff using Imperial Navy Standard, or all the way up to 510 DPS at 163KM optimal- which is well beyond your lock range.

The only issue is the lack of prop mod. Thankfully there aren't that many L4s that need one, but keeping a 100MN afterburner in your hangar isn't too hard. Running everything full time with a 100MN Afterburner II instead of a Cap Recharger, you're looking at 9 minutes, 56 seconds of cap, using Imperial Navy Standard. If you direly need an AB, Conflag ammo, *and* permanently running tank for some reason, you can swap out 2 Heat Sink II for 2 Capacitor Flux Coil II, which will drop you to 766 DPS, but you'll be cap stable at 43%.

This is with literally zero pimp beyond the armor repairer, too. Breaking 1000 DPS with faction Heat Sinks should be entirely possible. And 25mB bandwidth still available. 75 bandwidth is such an awkward number...

The NApoc is absolutely incredible for L4s, I'm not sure why people don't use it more.

this is what I run before I bought Golem.
SNI's tank capable plus 8 mid slot make it very flexible for any L4 mission.

sometime I wish there is marauder version of this SNI with its 4% resist and 8 mid slot.
I doubt it as tank capable from such ship would be too powerful

in case anyone wonder why I put Capacitor Safeguard over CCC. Fit calculator show that T2 Safeguard give longer shield boost tank than T1 CCC (can't fit T2 CCC due to not enough calibration) and AB is for run to gate if need to.

honest, in my opinion, SNI probably is better than RNI.

Before you look at the fits, I need to point out that this is all basically one fit. The idea is that you refit during the mission as needed.

Also bring 5 cargo expanders so you have plenty of space for loot and salvage at the end of the mission.

Using the fits:

Jump 100km directly away from the enemy.
Drop mobile tractor and mobile depot.
Shoot stuff. I like to start with battleships and work my way down to let the faster ships close distance. (Closer to the tractor)
If NPCs start getting too close, scoop the depot and jump 100km directly away from the enemies again. You can leave the tractor where it is.

Generally you're not going to be close enough to battleships for painters to be effective, so fury missiles are really only going to be useful against structures. (Like the Pleasure Hub mission). You still want to manage triggers because this isn't designed to tank an entire room, the long range is basically the tank. Also avoid Guristas. They'll still be able to hit you at range.

Unless you need to jump a second time I'd just have salvage drones working throughout the mission. Sentries aren't gonna have enough range and light drones aren't really necessary for frigs. Plenty of drone bay though so you can still pack some light drones. Maybe some web drones as well for frigs that orbit just out of range. The web drones will likely die, but they're cheap. Just don't send them out too far.
