Ships & Modules

Okay, so first i'd like to point the fact that i'm a new player and i'm fully aware of my noobness, but im trying to learn all the time :)

Okay, so here's the situation. I'm mostly running my L4s with my friend who also has a maelstrom and when he's not around
i'll do them solo, and that is rather slow :( and of course our 2man team could also do them a bit faster :)

Our isk gain has come to a point where we can finally start dreaming about upgrading into better gear slowly but firmly :)

So here's the current setup

[Maelstrom, L4Gen]
Tracking Enhancer II
Gyrostabilizer II

Large Capacitor Control Circuit I

Hobgoblin I x20
Carbonized Lead L x2500
Depleted Uranium L x4792
Fusion L x3368

so the question here is that how would you guys upgrade this setup? =)

thank you in advance for the suggestions and ideas

1. get a better shieldboost
2. get more gyrostabis
3. throw out at least 1 hardener for a tracking computer
4. Large Projectile Burst II Rig

I looked at your fitting with "All IV" to see, if it is "overtanked" and yes, it is. Also its damage is kind of small.

Your first big investment should be a Pith Large Shield Booster, at least B-Type but A-Type is also nice for the isk. This gives you the oportunity to throw out Shield Hardeners to fit tracking computer that let you modify your range and tracking depending on the situation.

Once you have the skill go for a Large Projectile Burst II to increase your rate of fire.

In case you get the isk faster than the skills neccessary, buy yourself your first faction damagemods for even more damage.

When you have a feeling for the Arty + MJD style of fighting throw out the last CCC, go for an Ancillary Current Router and 8 1400 scout Artillery.

In the end it should look like this:

With the stupid in his posts, you really think he's ever been in one?

@ Garak: Where did I troll?

@ Arsine: WTF? You are some crazy guy.

Large signature with low speed would make it hard for a newer player. 800's come out pretty short on range even with rigs and tracking computer on the mael.
