Ships & Modules

Hi everybody!

I'm posting this with my alt because I don't want to tip my hand to anyone. :)



So I've been out of the game for a while, and when I came back, aaaaaallll these ship changes are in place. I haven't played the game for ages, and I feel like a newb again. I'm going to be getting involved in hisec war, and I have questions involving POS and POCO bashing.

First of all, any suggestions? (Aside from "don't do it," and "go to null you n00b.") Ships? Fits? Minimum number of people?

When I think of POS bashing, I think of the stories I've heard of how dull and boring it is in Null for people to bash on a pos with their Caps. Since caps don't fit in high, the dullness is a million fold- I imagine. I don't want to exacerbate the dullness any more than I need to.

I was thinking about using an Oracle for bashes. I heard that someone uses a Domi with Sentries. I suspect we'll average 3 people active at any given time. If my DPS is the average (that's 500 - 600 dps) over three people (1500 to 1800 dps), about how long would we be sitting there pewing at a structure? POS and POCO. Assuming no intervention, of course. I know their defenses can differ, but ball park figures will be fine.

How do others handle pos and poco bashing (other than avoiding it)?

(In before, the troll posts.)

If it's just a boring dead POS, it'll work if you spend enough time. If it's a Death star, you want Battleships with Logi.
If it's an E-War star, Marauders with ASB tank & otherwise passive tank. Or Logi with Remote ECCM & Battleships with ECCM.
Basically active POS'es with defence will really be a pain.

There a POS fit´s with very high resists. I saw fleets of 40 People Need 5-10min to lower shield 1%. If u are unlucky u wont even put out enough damage to get over shield recharge rate.

If u want to bash structures in High i would recommend at least 20 People. Also suggest sentries if u can, cause otherwise u will have to bring multiple haulers with ammo...

Thanks for the perspective! That's helpful. :D

We were in Bombers in Null. It was a large POS with very high resists. No other moduls at all if my alt brain doesn´t trick me. Estimated dps/bomber is around 400 so: yes if you can use 1200dps ravens, you will need less Players. but a small number of interceptors will be able to pin you down long enough to really ruin your day.

Sentries are the only drones capable of attacking POS shields. You would need to swap out your heavies when you're done incapping guns/ecm.

Killmails doesn't show EHP, just raw hp damage taken.

Reinforced mode kicks in at 25% provided it has stront in it. Reinforced mode will not kick in if it was previously reinforced and it hasn't been repaired above 50% shields. (Again needs re-stronting).

Right....wrong thread.
