What is the best C5 wormhole effect for farming sleeper sites in a phoenix? The phoenix has problems with damage application so:

Magnetar has: +43% missile explosion radius

Black hole has: +86% missile explosion velocity

Which of these effects do you guys think helps the phoenix damage application the most when attacking battleship sized sleepers?

Thanks

PS: Yes, I know that the phoenix is not the best of the dreads by far for farming, but it is my favorite dread so I am using it.

Sleepless Guardian has a signature of 400. Fire up EFT. Get your Phoenix fit and a T1 battleship.
Add C5 magnetar effects and look at damage graphs of Phoenix shooting at battleship.
Switch to C5 Black hole effects and repeat.

Compare numbers.
Perform math calculations (e.g. avg TTK in either effect)
Choose the best option for you.
?????
Profit

(And watch for new sigs)

I'm right behind you

Thanks, I didn't know that you could play with the effects of missile explosion velocity and radius in EFT and see the effects on a battleship. I will try it out. This is obviously an alt. To avoid painting a bulls eye on my character/corp.

YW. Yes you can add system effects for any of the types and classes of wormholes.

Well, higher explosion velocity increases damage application and larger explosion radius decreases it. P

I have tested with EFT and noticed. Thanks guys.

your main problem from full dmg application isn't going to be speed. Anything can be webbed considerably. Sig size otoh has vastly less manipulation, hence turret dreads are the only thing used.

Best tank for a Phoenix is PLEX. Each PLEX added gives you a tank equivalent to one horse-sized duck.

Yeah, well, it's just like my opinion, man.
