Missions & Complexes

my standard tactic is land, turn 180 (ie fly back at the mission gate) burn out and jam the logi, they fly away, kill the burner super easy. Some days jams just don't seem to work well and then maybe kill the one logi, as the jams usually work on at least one.

I'm temped to buy a hookbill and fit it up with 4x jammers, I think getting the ECM off more consistently could be better than the slight dps advantage of the garmur.

lml don't care and can easily stay outside of burner jag wrecking hit range. The idea is hopefully for more consistency with jams at a cost of dps. Hookbill has mainly a kinetic bonus, and the overall damage is getting boosted with the December patch. That said it does have a range bonus looks like 2x MGC 2x ECM fits with polarized rockets and it gets similar range to the cheap polar rocket fit. Not sure about server tick interactions as you are right on the edge of rocket range though.

You should care and in first place COMPARE the ranges before you talk nonsence like that. You CAN'T stay out of wrecking range using your 4 Jamm fit (consider ro read the link i gave you above and at least think about the chance to hit formula). And you WON'T reach Garmur's range by only using 2x MGC. We not even started to speak about cap stability here...

Consider to take a look on both ships in EFT before you ever say things like "i don't care" to someone, who is trying to help you. You are speculating around here, most other ppl here gave both fits already a try on the testserver or at least using EFT. If speculations are more worth for you then experience, then feel free to "don't care' as much as you want and keep drawning in your own ignorance.

Using pretty much the same since yesterday (that damn jaguar...) Is working like a charm :)
Btw, it is not possible to copy anything in your guide, did try to copy some fittings to eft and well, ended up by clicking them together :)

Still a bit new to google docs. I updated the link in my op and sig with a new link, maybe that will work?

lml as in light missile launchers. according to eft they go 63km. Hookbill gets a 10%/lv velocity bonus which is a 50% range bonus. Garmur gets a 200% velocity bonus but it comes with -50% flight time, which comes out to a 50% range bonus. Barring server tick voodoo, similarly fit the ships should have the same range.

With lml I usually stay around 30km and I've never gotten hit at that range, the only time I remember getting hit was somewhere around 23-25km. once when testing the polarized garmur, and once with a harpy.

and experience

Regardless of missile velocity it ends up being a 50% range bonus on the Mordus Legion ships, but whatever...

I think I'm pretty okay with my math.

(100% base flight speed + 200% bonus flight speed) * (100% base flight time minus 50% flight time) equals (base flight speed plus 50% bonus flight speed) times unchanged flight time
(1+2) * (1 - 0.5) = (1+0.5) * (1 + 0)
3 * 0.5 = 1.5

so lets use 5,000 m/s and 7.5s flight time as that is pretty close to light missile speed/flight time. Light missile flight speed is a wee bit bigger so I'm under stating it a bit here, but 5,000 is a nice round number.
in a garmur it goes 15,000 m/s and has a flight time of 3.75. 15,000m/s*3.75s = 56,250km
in a hookbill it goes 7,500m/s and has a flight time of 7.5. 7,500m/s*7.5s= 56,250km

feel free to show me some in game evidence (hell I'll take eft screenshots) that show otherwise.

I suppose I could try this kinda math:

Just noticed an error in your blitzing guide where you state that the mach has a 4.5 au/s base warp speed: the 50% bonus is already taken into account on the stats, raising warp speed from 2 to 3, not from 3 to 4.5.

Otherwise excellent work. I personally dont blitz (too OCD on the little red things), but one of the best guides I've read on the topic. Actually, the only guide I've read on the topic. But it's still very good.

Any news on the team burner problem?

Guide has been updated and I added in a little bit about a possible Barghest blitzer that might be very interesting though I am still skilling to properly test it. Here's the build for reference:

Due to how blitzing inherently isn't about dps over the long term but rather burst of a few ships/triggers needing to be killed and then moving on, a Barghest might have enough of an advantage in that area to offset the areas where it's not quite as good as a Machariel. It's possible that the Barghest might also only be better at some missions while the Machariel is better at others. The small DPS boost coming might tip the scales in certain situations.
