Good & Serious Websites for Ship Fittings

Hi Guys

The last couple of months I went through different Websites to find a good and serious Website for ship Fittings of all categories. Now since my Long brake I am putting together some fits with the help of some Websites but not all seem to be very good. Most of them are outdated as well.

Battleclinic is a site that I am trying to avoid as for once the new design is not very appealing plus just bout everyone can post a fit for a ship.

I heard some said that Failheap-Challenge is a good Website with their Ship Setups and have knowledge as to what they doing.

I am not looking for the perfect let's say solo pvp fit as to my opinion, there is None.

Mostly I look right now for good Amarr Fittings for let's say a ship I fell in love with : Omen Navy Issue. As my plan is to gain more solo pvp experience, the Omen Navy Issue, Scythe Fleet Issue, Stabber, Stabber Fleet Issue or a Vexor or VNI seem to be very good contenders. There are a lot of Setups for a ONI, most of them or simply outdated and some are not taken very serious are get bad Feedback.

Goal: Solo PVP XP

If anyone knows good Websites please let me know. Even if it is for Amarr only.

I wonder if I missed some sites on the Internet which do not Show up on Google.

CCP has made so many changes over the last year there is no up to date site with decent fittings for all ships.

For solo omen navy issue, most people use the Kovorix fitting:

Wrong. There is a website: --> zkillboard.com

1. Choose your ship.

2. Choose "Losses" Column (sometimes I check the solo-column as well)

3. Check 20-50 Fits or more. Not in HiSec maybe, but low or 0.0 or wh. Depending where you want to use that ship.

4. Go to external menu and open the URL with o.smium.org.

5. check the stats and if you like it. If you like the stats check the character who lost the ship and check his kills. You can learn from that a lot. If the character has not enough kills return to point 3.

That's how I do it.

You find a lot more interesting fits, then just checking the sites, which everybody reads and where most of your opponents will estimate correctly which fit you fly. ;)
Guess how interesting their face may look like if they do not meet "Kovorix's" Standard Nomen Twisted

Edit: Quite fast you will get a feeling if a fitting is "interesting" or not. If you are not sure if it's good or just bad, quite often it's worth to take a look ;)

Hi guys

Thank you very much for those different suggestions :)

I did check out quite a few YouTube Videos but sometimes it does take up a bit more time then browsing through different fits.

I did put some ONI fits together as well as 1 Scythe Fleet Issue Fit and choose 1 to start with.

But the ZKillboard suggestions is actually not a really bad one.

@HoruSeth

One Thing I don't really get is what do you mean with No.4? Go to the External Menu and open the URL with o.smium.org ?

Nevermind...found it..I was kinda blind it seemed, lol.

But I will check on the ZKillboard tonight for some ships I want to fly for solo pvp.

Thanks guys for the Feedback so far. Glad no one has mentioned battleclinic yet.

Horu's advice is very good, especially if you start looking up losses from people/groups known to be good pvpers who do the type of pvp you're looking for. Just realise that a fit in and of itself doesn't mean very much unless you understand its tactic, the basic tactics you and your targets use and the the rock, paper, scissor nature of EVE pvp in general.

One source I check is EVE University; their wiki's articles on the various ships will often have multiple suggested setups for various tasks and skill levels. As the ships get more skill-intensive and expensive, the number of fits per ship will drop.

Unlike a sov-null alliance's doctrine fits (which are usually meant to be matched exactly), the E-Uni fits are generally more like guidelines, or a framework to build your own fits from.

Uni wiki tends to be quite good, their fits however are quite often bad, flawed and silly. Not because they're aimed at low SP characters but because they're bad, flawed and silly.

What you should do, Wintercon, is to registed on failheap-challenge forums and post there directly, asking for fits. Quite a few of the fits are, or will be outdated, however, most current ones will be swagy0l0.

Alternatively, I could conjure up fits on practically any ship, bar ECM-ggafotry. At 5 million ISK per proven ship configuration. Smile

Good Morning Guys

Thank you very much for your Feedback so far. I did check the ZKillBoard Fits for some People last night and found some very interesting fits. I also found that that some expensive ONI Fits are not always the best like with True Sansha Parts for example.

1 Guy was pretty interessting counting in many Ship Kills with the ONI and always using the same fit over and over again and he did kill anything from a frigate up to cruisers which is very interesting for me.

I did the external lookup on the fits through o.smium.org and compared over 30 Fits one by one and picked some of them.

What is interesting that most People use HPL instead of Beam Lasers. Since I flew mostly Caldary so far and have experience with Missiles, Rockets and Torpedos..I Need to dig in a bit deeper to see the difference between pulse and beam lasers.

All in all the Suggestions could not be more different :) But I am very confident that I found some good fits for that ship.

I know your looking for a website, But if you have a Droid, I use EVE-droid for fittings, It's accurate and up to date. You can download it off the play store for free. Although it's not as good as EFT or the other downloadable fitting tools

Not to try and talk you down or anything but looking at your killboard it seems as if you're mostly used to being in fleets and now for the first time try to do something solo. You've asked around for funky solo ships, tried a few, lost them and have come to the conclusion that if you would move up from frigates into cruisers you'd do better.

Assuming this is actually the case: don't get yourself a cruiser, especially not a faction one. A bigger ship will NOT help you in this case, the only thing that will help is understanding the tactics & concepts and getting experience. All that will happen is more expensive lossmails and since you learn just as much from flying (and losing) a simple T1 frigate as you do from a funked out faction fit ONI there really is no point in using said cruiser.


If you want to use it in fleets then ask your FC for fits, if you want to use solo then just don't. It's not the solution to your "problem".

I had it downloaded, however I did not like to fiddle with it much when it Comes to ship Fittings as I do really Need a Keyboard and mouse for it. On the Tablet it just takes much longer :)

Nope my expectations are not that if I go with a cruiser I have more success or will do better. It's just that cruiser size ships are for me more appealing...it does not matter if it is a T1 or T2 Ship.

The thing is I do have some Frigates for roaming around and will wanna build more..but my Focus are cruisers right now.

Besides all that..this is not my main :)

Plus I don't mind loosing ships as this is still a game at the end...a harder game then other..but still a game to which I wanna have fun with.

Still I appreciate your post.

Always be careful with this and assume that people might be using offgrid Booster (especially if they only hunt in the same system(s), use scouts, expensive implants and drugs! ;)

Can you link me the pilot via evemail? Would be interested to check him as well.

And if all else fails, keep flying the ship and eventually you'll realise where the fits fail and how to improve them.
