EVE New Citizens Q&A

That's a bit of a habit of mine that seeped though, unfortunately. With T1 rigs you're right that 3 rigors tends to be better in most circumstances, if only a little bit. With T2 rigs that changes due to calibration cost where a 3rd T2 rigor is impossible and would have to be T1, and then the T2 Flare makes more sense. I'll actually make an annotation for that.


Done.

Some very good points - especially about the complexity of determining what rigs and fits for various mission profiles. It was enlightening because i would spend time comparing specific numbers on the missiles themselves. I just started using evemon and eft, but there seems to be a lot of equipment that is not in the database so i have only used it to get a better understanding of what impact a particular item has on the vessel stats. I have a couple of Navy Caracals that are doing very nicely on level II pve missions except for a mission I helped a Drake on, both of us kiting while aligned on Airkio VIII and we still had to warp out several times to recharge and repair armor. I had auto-targeting heavy missiles and he had heavy assault, we both ended up changing to heavy missile to get the job done. The rat pack would hang outside of his ham range and my atms were taking forever to beat down the shields - after that they died quickly.

Most of my ships are gallente with drones and rails or lasers which do a much better job on the rat packs. By the by the extra hp on the navy version made the difference on warping out with 300-500k damage or total loss of ship - which is what would have happened in a vanilla carc.

I will be assembling a drake or similar posthaste, and the navy carc will go back on its regular runs. And yes this is one of several alts but it does have around 20 ships in service in several regions doing very lucrative private contracts.


EDIT: I tried to watch your video but it is marked as private. Do you have a public version of it somewhere?

Same here, video is blocked.

dont worry about it, likely ragequit over a month ago. This is an old thread.

I used a navy caracal to farm clone soldiers in sansha lowsec. Then I ran into a gate camp. FeelsBadMan

Appreciate the feedback and suggested alternatives to the Navy versions of T1s. EveMon has been really helpful prioritizing skills needed to run a T2 with T2 fittings. Just downloaded PFYA and it is a great tool, lot easier testing various setups than EFT.

Knocking out missions, doing incremental upgrades as skills come through the hopper and putting the pieces together to not just play for free but to play profitably.
