No need to get rude. Also I omni tank every Amarr pve ship for L4 since years, because I had the best results with it, so it is not that I give bad advice.

OK, here it goes AE pocket 1-5 in 29 minutes, using the Navy Apoc:

I'm a bit out of shape since I didn't run missions in the last 2 months and normally dual box the navy apoc with a 2. hull, so I play it a bit different then. I probably lost the 1-2 minutes I am normally quicker in the 1. and 2. pocket by moving to early and for sloppy frig shooting, forcing me to use light drones.


Hiding the system you are in is kinda pointless, when you see all the gates in your overview.

EDIT: And you are only using 4 Hob Gob II and one Tech 1.

I know that with the system, figured it out after I did the first vid, but clicking to align also shows it and I was to lazy to change the mask in gimp again. P

Yeah I think I had to replace that on light drone after the last one got double webed and insta poped in the 2. room of a Serpentis assault and I had no T2 hobgoblin at hand, didn't really double check it yesterday before moving the hull to the first AE I got.

You ever thougt of switching one EANM for an Resistance shifting Hardener?

You wont notice the change against EM/Therm Enemys but he will provide you with better tank against Angels, EOM or Gurista

Well I currently got no L4 down here that I can't omni tank with that navy Apoc, but I guess I could give it a try when I get back to missions again. Normally I have 2 BS on grid for dps, so tanking becomes a fairly trivial thing anyway.

My point is that you ARE giving people bad "advice" and quite often hilarious bling fit ideas while you don't actually understand how the game works. If me pointing that out makes me rude then so be it, personally I find it more rude and troubling to give people mistaken info.

My point is I actually fly this "hilarious bling" setups, because I actually did build them around practical purpose and I guess they are cost effective for me. I have been told a troll with my setups tons of times, people that don't believe that you can fly a amarr BS with a 200 dps omnitank utilizing dps as your major tank, that you can't fly a laser BS with mwd and that you can't dps down angels with lasers in a very time efficient way to if you want. When I look back 50% of the people that flamed me last year are now in Doomheim or just flame other people today.

Also there might be a difference between people that move a few chars 50 Jumps, fly a few L4s to get a AE, free up 50 GB HD space, spend 4 hours editing, rendering and uploading a example of how it works and people that try to flame others on the public eve forums on a Alt. I haven't see a single constructive post from you, but feel free to give better advice than I do. I was told last year that everybody could fly amarr BS better than I do, I still wait on a single prove of that or even a single constructive post of this people till that day.

- the majority of your fits are terrible gank magnets showcasing zero understanding of risk vs reward in that regard, especially when giving this "advice" to people who may not understand the risk or how to deal with that
- just because "it works and I didn't die" doesn't mean it makes sense
- your losses are riddles with "wtf" fits
- teaching ppl the terribleness of omnitanking in PVE
- and, shown in this thread, perhaps not up to speed on game mechanics as you think you are


In short; you're not as capable as you think you are and while your effort is commendable you're going overboard on many of the things you state. This is not me being "rude" or "flaming", this is me stating simple facts. Less blingy nonsense, more realistic approaches and being able to adjust one's "advice" towards the person asking for it (like here in this thread, it's a newbie and you're giving him Core B-type fits while telling him to omnitank).

Actually that's pretty fair.
Brisk, granted but fair.

I wouldn't omni tank outside of a paladin , I'd have serious resevations about mentioning blingy bs fits to a new player as he wouldn't have the experience to avoid getting beaten up for his shiny new toys.

That said, the advice is not without merit. Just has little with regards the op.

Well it is not like I didn't provide a T2 version confusingly labelled as "beginner" for newer players, but yeah, lets cook up a straw mans argument about "cost effective fitted" navy apocs for newer players...

The Foxcat fitting is what I personally use to do L4s(I prefer it over the Pala and NM, because both a bricks), it did cost 1B(ship + full fitting), is not designed for newer players and I guess the general rule of "don't fly what you can't effort" applies as well. I just added it as suggestion what would be a good alternative at the end of the road and the vids showcase what you can do with that kind of ships. As stated before I omni tank every L4 for practical reasons(I only dock up ever 2-3 missions, I don't have issues with my tank) and again people can change the tank if they have issues and go with less expensive mods as well, it is not like I would force anybody that reads the thread to fly my personal setup.

To be fair in post #26 The Djego did give examples both for a player new to a BS and then one for someone with higher skills/ISK.

The starter one is something similar to what I have been flying at about 8.5 million sp and it works out well for me and is certainly doable.

Anyway I won't get in the way of all the epeen waving or typical posts of people telling each other how horrible they are. I mostly fly Amarr because I think the ships look cool. Big smile

And then you tell him to fit two EANM (newbies might/will pick up on that ****) partly because of ignorance on how resists actually work and partly because apparently you never gave the whole hardener cap vs repping cap any thought. Anything cruiser+ is better off fitting active hardeners because an increase in cap use is easily offset by needing to rep less. It makes ZERO SENSE to fit 2 EANM on a T1 mission BS if you're fighting a 2 damage type faction.

That's my point, the OP doesn't CARE about your specific situation, experience, SP, knowledge and wallet. He cares about his own situation and your answers aren't helping him any.

Regarding the Amarr ships "upgrade" paths, is it ok to move onto L3's with your Maller or should you wait till you have a Harbinger? (which based on the price of a Harbinger vs the rewards from L2's looks like it would take a while)

Some L3 in Maller will be tough but you can surely do some.

Some lvl 3 are easy, some are difficult. If you know what you're doing you can make it work but honestly it's just not ideal. And in this case the "if you have to ask you probably won't know what you're doing" applies (I don't mean that in a negative way) and you probably shouldn't risk it.

Bigger doesn't always equal better, some L3 missions can be done in a frigate or even a shuttle, while others require a substantial tank and dps. Personally, I've been running L3 missions in an Omen before and it's not that big a deal, but I know most missions inside out, down to the exact trigger and the types of ships in each wave. For somebody new, an unknown mission might well spell doom.

Can you do them in a Maller? Yes. Should you? At your own risk. I'd do it, but then I'd also fly a Vindicator head-first into a hornet's nest.

You can fly L3s in a Maller or Omen, but it will be a bit harder and relative slow(lack of dps mostly). However it shouldn't be a big issue, since the tanks are fairly equal(less armor, but less damage intake by higher speed and lower sig). One thing to avoid would be the big missions like blockade, where shooting the triggers in the wrong order, plus the lack of DPS can create a scenario where the damage intake is fairly huge, while a cruiser simply got a lot of issues reducing incoming dps by the lower dps you can dish out. I flown L3 angel and sansha blockade tons of times in a navy omen without breaking a sweat, but it can become very hard with low skills, a cruiser and more than a single wave on grid(seen it tons of time in corp or helping other players).

I fly a Paladin for l4 missions in Amarr space, decent skills and fit.

My advice is fly a race that can chose it's damage type, if later you want pewpewlazor fine but pick something versatile first.

Missions against Gurristas and Angel are a serious pain in the ass.

Two problems with this:

1. Navy Omen is essentially a mini-T3
2. The hull costs the same or slightly more than the Harbinger. Since money isn't an issue, Harbi is going to perform better most of the time.
