Ships & Modules

Depends shield tanked nano mwd can be pretty fun to fly. But most are standard ab ahac(CRABAHAC)

Depends lol... are you in a fleet? what are they running?

From the lack of replies the OP should probably conclude the following;

- zealot is very limited in use, it's very good at what it does but that's about it
- using one solo generally is a recipe for disaster, it's a fleet ship really
- if you do try it solo or small gang it's certainly not a "I'm kinda new to this all, I just trained this so lets try and use it" ship

Because it's a fleet ship people will be using standardised fleet fits and as such there is a "if you have to ask, you shouldn't use one" going on.


If you want to use it solo, don't
if you want to use it in a small gang there's probably better ships for that
if you want to use it in a fleet ask your FC or check your corp fittings

Amarr as a whole can solo a whole lot better than it used to but still, overall, they're more a teamwork thing. There are exceptions, their T1 frigs are quite good and one of the inties is a beast, cruisers and faction cruiser are also really good (Navy Omen is quite amazing).

The real issue is that aiming for bling or T2 ships isn't going to give you victories, it's not like other MMOs where better gear will automatically get you wins. Until a pilot gets a better understanding of how stuff really works in EVE there's no point in throwing bigger or more expensive ships at the problem.

Alright thanks, both of you. I actually already have an ONI so I'll play around with it. Good point, tis certainly cheaper then the Zealot. Guess I'll go throw a few of those around and hopefully learn from the failures (and hopefully have some successes.)

My main issue is that almost all of my PVP experience has either been small-gang roams, gatecamps, or mid-sized Bombers Bar / Spectre Fleet ops. I want to get more into solo PVP, especially since I keep off hours lol. Any further suggestions on how/where to learn more would be greatly appreciated.

In the meantime, will EFT what I THINK will be some good ONI fits and see how they work in practice

Thanks again o7

Great, thanks for that tip! My only REAL frig experience was missions in my younger days (in a Punisher, lol,) and a little minnie experience on a FW alt that I havent done much at all with, but this is my main/highest SP toon so I wanna utilize him. I have good gunnery skills so Ive got something to build on. Will check out Exec and Tormentor and start my education. Thanks again!

If you've got decent missile skills and want to fly a HAC, consider the Sacrilege.
It's a ship much more adapted to solo and small group.

With their missiles uninpacted by tracking and their number of mid slot, Khanid ship are more versatile than their pure laser Amarr T2 counterpart.

The Omen Navy Issue is the solo version of the Zealot. Faster, cheaper, drones and a neutralizer.
