Hi all,

I was wondering what missile system i should fit on my Rapier after Proteus.

Up untill now i was flying with this fitting.

High:
3x 650 mm Arty
1x cov ops cloak

Mid :
1x Warpdisruptor II
2x Fed navy web
1x inv. field II
1x LSE II
1x 10MN MWD II

Low:
1x DCUII
2x Gyrostabilizer II
1x Nano II

Drones: 3x Hammerhead II 2xHobgoblin II

Its obviously ment for PvP, mostly small scale gangs in WH's.

Personally im leaning towards RLML But id like to see your thoughts on it .
if anyone has an awesome fitting that they would like to share id apreciate that.

Greetings D.

ignoring the weapons bonus is just meh. i would put heavies on it personally, especially with a painter bonus and the webs.

the range of heavies and the webs keeps it out of harms way, especially with links. the rapid lights would be good but you have the drones for small stuff, and a damage control on a shield ship is something i have recently stopped doing.

if you want to use guns, i would use a huginn. with no d-scan and no local, it just seems better to me. you are going to get called primary a lot anyway, so you may as well put some real dps on the field.

I hear you,

I am deffinatly switching to missiles for the Rapier, just wondering which system would be most usefull.

As for DCU on shield ships, i understand the choice to leave them out, the bonus to shield resist is small.
On the other hand, i have managed to survive more then just a handfull of fights because i had some resists on my hull..
I guess its a matter of personal preference.

RLML. 10% missile damage bonus plus furies and double web will melt frigs. Also leaves a lot of grid leftover for tank. I took out a 4man frig gang with it last night. Have fought an orthus in it once too. Was able to tank him till his reload, got him to armor till i lost point. 400ish OH dps with about 35k EHP and a cloak :)

It might work. Curious on the volley on that? Would be the only ship you can solo HML with lol. Just think the low dps and poor application to frigs (even with double web) may hold it back still. Guess theyll still die considering they cant touch you at 30km. Course, that would be an expensive loss mail if it dies.

Im using this:
3 RLML
covert cloak

1 meta4 LSE
XLASB
x2 web
T2 point
mwd

x2 BCU
nano
DCU

MACR
t2 damage rig

Loaded with furies, Im slaughtering frigs atm. And cloak is very useful to get to a safe and reload, or avoid camps. Looking forward to some cruiser fights. Might just have enough distance and tank to survive the reload to take em down.
