I assume they are just taking this fit straight from the one arbitrator fit that killed an arazu, and two blops while solo.

I find the Comet is great for most engagements. Benign enough that most folks are not afraid of it, sneaky tough, and if fitted properly faster than most other hulls.

I do sometimes use an OGB but it's more for scouting to avoid gate camps, for taking fights that are 1 v many, against larger ships such as destroyers and cruisers, and to GTFO when a groups attempts to gank me.

Is the 1600 plate arbi still the go to, or is there another fit floating around right now.


I currently have:

Highs:
meta 4 small and medium nos
2x small smartbomb for drones

Mids:
Meta 4 scram
meta 4 web
2x meta 4 tracking disruptors

Lows:
2x ENAM
1x DCU
1x DDA
1x 1600mm

Rigs:
2x Trimark
1x Tracking Diagnostic Subroutines


Any suggestions on improving the fit?


that fit is awful for real. the arbitrator is likely top contender for the title of worst soloing cruiser ever. a vexor will do almost everything an arbitrator does, except better. also no prop mod is suicide and those smartbombs will take longer to kill a single light drone than you will survive most fights for in that ship

All of my solo arbitrator fits have ignored the TD bonus. You can do a pretty wicked shield tank if you've got the implants and links or a pretty decent active armor tank. It's much improved on base stats after tiericide, compared to what it once was.

The thing to remember is that if you kite they'll go after your drones if they have more than two brain cells. If you brawl, they'll mostly ignore your drones. You can get some pretty decent fights in an arbitrator [because it's not a vexor!] but you won't have the dps to burn through a cruiser faster than his backup will arrive.

ah mista dane! true that it draws fights just because it's an Arbi but yeah it's tough to work around the PG limitations to really do much for DPS and tank. using links properly would make it a fine ship with a good fit but yea a good place to start with that would be getting rid of the TDs and trading info links for a mix of skirm and armor/siege

Best ship in the game Currently is: XLASB RLML Dual point Orthrus
Best Skimish linking ship in game: 6 link tengu (Full siege / skirmish) With Republic Fleet mind link.

Get the orthrus pilot a full head of HG snakes 5% damage implants, some blue pill / quafe booster and you are basically kitted up to take on anything.

Just fly T1(Insert ship class and race here) and fly that solo. Your links should give you enough of an edge to win in most 1v1 situations. Scram kite

I have a liquid nitrogen cooled fedora storage unit. Test me.

As per the title I am looking to get the most bang for my buck with fighting in FW areas. I am wondering what the best solo frig/cruiser would be with a booster. Stipulation is that it would actually be able to get fights. I know a lot of people will just run from certain ships, or not even engage.

Also, would full snakes be viable to use in LS or has the insta-locking epidemic spread so much that pods get lost all the the time now?


Thanks in advance for any advice offered.


edit: Booster would be running a t3 with either armor/siege + info + skirmish @ t2 with faction implant.


Can you give me ur PvP character name(the one you want to fly with sna....boosts), i want to send you some free isk.


Santo you are such a nice guy <3
