it's not about solo, it's just a tool you use when the situation presents itself.

In your hypothetical situation with phantasms, they shouldn't even be able to get near you in the first place.

last night on chessur's stream they bumped a prophecy off the gate, the orthrus didn't put a scram on it and it MJD'd away. They did end up catching it after, but it was funny to watch. the power of the scram is real

plus they killed an orthrus that didn't have a scram, not sure they would have done that, as it probably would have dunked their ceptors if it did, or maybe had a chance at kiting away. Tried to look for the video but not sure how youtube streaming deals with that.

This is my personal fit that I like.. With crystals it tanks like 500dps per booster and like 1k in tight situations where your trying to break tackle to get away. It doesent have the buffer of the LSE/ XL booster fit but it has the med nuet solid tank, good damage application, and doesent require 200 fitting mods. I cant bring myself to fit active and buffer tank it just doesent make sense to me.


I dual box them, so the buffer + active has saved my bacon more than once.

A note to all you fitting wizards out there. There isn't a right fit for these things or any other ship. How you fly (kite/brawl and so on) has everything to do with right for you. Where and how you use it are also big players in a good fit.

OP - there's a ton of good fits out there and a couple of bad ones. Stay away from fits that have zero em resistance on a shield cruiser - there just isn't enough HP to survive lazors/em missiles - you'll get poofed. You need to think about what you want to do with it and tweak things to fit into that mindset. 3 cal nav bcu - you have to look at the cost of that 3rd navy bcu and compare the dps it adds vs the cost and do the same with a t2 (cpu needs get factored in also) - thats a lot of cheddar for a small boost in damage. Your fit should mind both your cheddar and your bacon Big smile


No there is a right way to fit a ship, there also is a right way to fly it. And brawling with rlml orthrus' is by all means the wrong way.

If my objective was to die in a horrible fire, then brawling with a RLML Orthrus would certainly be the right way to go about completing that objective, so you're wrong on that one W0lf. There is no right or wrong way to play spaceships.

Intentionally losing a ship isn't a valid objective.

Tell that to the killright scammers I see in highsec on almost every major hub gate.

There's actually a guy doing it in unfit/cheap fit T1 battleships now with the activation fee set just high enough that he makes a profit off the KR + insurance. Marmite has been making him rich; pretty clever.

The above fits are both horrible. Check my loss mails for a good fit. I dual box brawl in these things all the time. I lose very few.


Damn the irony. Made me jiggle. The reasons to fit a scram are all there. Pirate




Is that the defensive scram to get away thing? I keep hearing about it, but I don't understand the thought process behind it.


The fact you do not understand defensive scram concept and can yet say Wolfs Orthrus fit is horrible (which they are not) tickles me greatly.

It could be if that is what someone decided to do. There are reasons why a player would want to intentionally lose a ship. As Demerius Xenocratus pointed out, killright scammers are a perfect example. But that is not the point anyway. You, or anybody else, does not have the right to decide what is and what isn't a valid objective in this game.

Not in general, but if your objective is to pvp and not die, which is universally true for almost any pvp fits or threads asking about ships, ways to fy, and fits for pvp that arent starting with "suicide" - then something can be the right or the wrong way.

A ship can be correct for a purpose and fit in the right way, or it can be wrong. You can make a cyno orthrus - it flat out is the wrong ship for it. You can also make a brawling orthrus (with hams) - which is a slightly wrong way to use the ships as other versions are stronger but it is the correct fit for a wrong usage, if however you make a brawling rlml fit you flat out misuse the ships and are doing the wrong thing, you are havign the wrong fit for the wrong usage.
