Ships & Modules

Here is my skills: http://eveboard.com/pilot/xxASGARDxx

Wondering if anyone has any fits they could give me ;)

Btw, Is it better to use t2 weapons if you only have them at lvl1 skill?

Get your Amarr Battlecruiser skill up to IV and your Medium Beam Laser Specialization up to at least 3 and run a fit like this:

[Harbinger, L3 Beams]

Plenty of spare fitting so it shouldn't be hard to fit. Solid range and dps, cap is good too. You want to switch the hardeners to tailor for whatever rats you are fighting. The tank is a little thin for beginners, but as long as you're killing stuff fast enough it shouldn't be a problem, if you want to be safe you can start off with more tank by dropping heat sinks/tracking computers for more tank/cap recharge mods.

This is definitely true. Especially in the case of BCs, a T3 Cruiser/HAC will do L3s just as well as a BC. However Battleships are still top tier at doing L4 missions. No T3/HAC can beat a Marauder/Mach/Nightmare/Rattlesnake when it comes to those. So there is still some reason to train into Battleships for PvE, however Battleships have very little application outside of PvE and it takes alot of training to get the skills up so it depends on what you eventually plan to do.

cruiser 5 is a long train, especially if you can't fly anything else. I wouldn't want to wait on cruiser 5 without being able to sit in a BC or maybe even a BS. the SP threshold to be effective in missions is rather low, and I wouldn't recommend burning 20ish days on cruiser 5, when that training time can be used to become effective in PVE. Although once you get into a BC and can run 3s, then the choice to go onto t2 frigs/cruisers or BS is a bit more difficult. with Low skills a BS can run 4s, but is rather inefficient. better frig/cruiser skills are good for pvp. and maybe pve. there are some t2/t3 cruisers that are very good for some forms of pve. In the long run you can train everything, so it isn't much of a worry. I love my BS skills, but I also have nearly all the frig/cruiser skills too.

The fits posted earlier look mostly right. Personally I never really liked the Harbinger.

I might try this, pretty similar to the above fits, but a little closer to a pvp fit. You can fit beams with a pretty similar fit, but fitting gets very tight. Looks like swapping one of the hardeners to a faction version makes it fit. Faction hardeners have similar stats to t2, but use 20 less CPU, and don't cost too much. Or you could probably drop a tracking comp, for a web or painter. I like the cap injector because you can drop all the cap rechargers, and CCCs, and instead fit mods that increase damage application. Plus I think it is better to learn to manage cap, and not just turn everything on, turn your brain off, and faceroll the guns. been awhile since I spent a lot of time in lv3s, not sure if the range is adequate or if it will get annoying chasing down npcs. where the beam fit will hit out to lock range no problem.

I wonder why someone havent suggest a Gila, yet

The OP asked for Harbinger fit, Zhilia Mann gave him good fits and there it should be stop, not suggesting another ship!

I've been using a confessor and I'd say it's better. I've never had to use the defensive mode, it's just a case of sniping with small beams, up to about 70km. Propulsion mode makes a lot of difference too when it comes to grabbing mission objectives or just aligning and warping. In terms of raw damage, Harbinger might be better, but confessor uses small guns so the application will be better, it has the same range and adds too many conveniences that I wouldn't recommend a Harbinger over it for PvE.
