Why would you do PVE fleets when you can do pvp fleets for twice the fun?


That is why I suggested the gank fit and just jump out right away after blapping a rat or two. :p

Thats such a strange way to pass your time though? You don't get a lot of isk from it..

You don't get a lot of fun from it..

No idea. The OP is being extra cryptic.

I would suggest taking hobs or similar in the incursus then assigning them to assist on or two primary pilots, that way you focus them onto one rat at a time and get a faster kill which reduces incoming dps faster

Agreed. The extra DPS would be more effective I think than the extra tank. That being said, per the OP's request, he wanted some RR going on and the drones bring the Catalyst's tank up to almost that of an incursus.

Interesting challege. Without questioning "why", I think I have an easier answer. For mostly pve, and the occasional (defensive?) PvP, I would mix the following two fits however you see fit:

Incursus: Archer

3x 125mm railguns

web/point/mwd

DC/ANP/SAAR/Mag-Stab

Hobgoblins

rigs are up to you, depending on fitting skills. You might drop the web or point for a cap booster and possibly dual rep if you need to absorb that much damage. More on that in a sec.


Catalyst: Balista

8x 150mm railguns

MSE/AB

DC/2x Mag-Stabs

rigs: em-screen, core defense field extender, hybrid collision accelerator.

If fitting is an issue, drop to 125's and use best meta gear you can fit.


Tactic: eliminate targets quickly, use web-cursis' to improve applied damage. Carry plenty of nanite paste for ancillary rep reloads. Buffer/passive regen should be plenty to keep the Cats in the fight, bounce out and back if you drop into armor. If you encounter PVP opportunities, focus fire and webs on targets smallest to largest, stay outside of neut range whenever possible (especially vs cruisers). No need for remote repping as everyone ends up back at 100% after the fight.

Think that fits the mission profile?
