Here's some solo bomber inspiration too.


That Stratios from April 15.... Shocked
How did you kill it? He was afk?

And when you kill your target - sleepers attack you don't they? You are warping out very fast i guess? Do you have any chance to loot the wreck?


Most probably the Stratios was afk or too noobish, otherwise his Hornets should have given the Purifier a hard time and eh should could have tanked the Purifier until he bailed out.

He will have waited until the Stratio cleared the site, otherwise the Sleepers would have attacked the Purifier as well. Sleepers usually immediately target the new ships arriving / decloaking on grid.

I'm fairly certain that stratios was not moving and just started hacking the first can. It then died to the first volley.

The other way 'round, your ship needs to be this good to get a job done. Everything else is just ISK down the gutter once you spring a trap (which will happen unless you want to miss out on anything that looks like one)

I never once said "ship needs to be this good to get a job done". You can T2 a fit just fine, it's entirely down to the person in question and whether you want to or not.
I linked the two fits that I personally use. They're shiny because that's how I fly them. I personally like to squeeze as much out of the fit as possible within a nice round figure. The fits I linked are considerably better than the T2 counterparts, however the T2 is still a perfectly viable option and still gets the job done to an extent.

ISK down the gutter is relative, if all you're (not you personally, just people in general) bothered about is ISK value lost as opposed to how many countless people each ship has killed then sure. But I don't see it that way. The Tengus I fly have killed well more than they are worth and punch well above their weight; so when I do lose them, I'm not really going to be fussed (unless I lose it to a Tower in which case damn, that sucks Smile).

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."
