Missions & Complexes

Is the below a good fit to run C1s? Does it need more tank or is it fine (it's got 199 omni tank, 373 dps)? BTW you can use a core probe launcher to scan down WHs, right? Never done that sort of thing before. Thanks!

Oh, sorry should probably include that info.

It has 199 omni tank and 373 dps. OP updated.

Lots of useful info, thank you. I'll be using an alt to do the salvaging, so no issues there. Swapping out one BCS for a SPR increases the tank to 262, while decreasing the DPS to 331. Dropping down to Meta3 further reduces DPS to 295. I also tried to fit 7 T2 HMLs in there to see what it would look like, but was forced to readjust the design because of the CPU limit, getting 308 DPS with 277 omni-tank. I don't have the skills for T2 HML, though, and it doesn't look like there is much difference between a T2 and Meta3 fit anyway. What do you think?

Here's the T2 HML fit

I've never had trouble killing sleeper frigs in a drake even without TPs, webs, or any rigs.

when running wormhole sites, i've found using caldari navy scourge heavy missiles pays off in the long run.

try switching up the ammo as part of your testing process, you'll likely find the additional cost is negated by faster sites/returns on loot in general.

wh's can still be hit and miss, much like the rest of exploration, but persistence will pay off.

if you've never been in a wh before, or not done much probe scanning/dscanning, get in a bit of practice before committing to much to unfamiliar territory. a good place to start is running a cov ops and locating pos's within the hole via dscan only, pulling intel on the corps you find on the fly from killboard and other sources, along with a general awareness of your surrounding space using staticmapper or some such.

best of luck.

C1s need very little tank.
This will rip through C1sites:



has 497dps and will actually do most of it to frigs.

Or just use Caldary Navy Scourge and do more damage than Scourge Precision without the drawbacks. And who calls a Warp Disruptor a dissy? There's a lot of f'ked up fake definitions for the "word' dissy, but it's never going to fly in EVE.

Yea that's great for C2+, but there are no BS in a C1 and many of the sites are very heavy frigate. Not that drones aren't worth using but if you just used your missiles on cruisers you won't be using them much.

I use this fit for up to C3 anoms. Takes a 3% cpu implant and Shield Upgrades V to run the full fit with the probe launcher. Takes Advanced Weapon Upgrades V to run with the 3rd Large Shield Extender (you can swap for a 2nd Shield Recharger II for a minor tank loss if your skills are lower and you plan on only running up to C2s). It will be VERY slow in C3s without running in tandem with another similarly fit drake.

Swap Fury missiles in for cruisers/battleship and Precision missiles for frigates to increase efficiency.


ECM Drones may save your life from a a tackle and since drones take so much management for DPS in WHs I figured it was a smart trade.

[EDIT]: Having looked over some of the other posts and seeing the "you're way over-tanked" you could potentially fiddle with the below fit to add in another BCS. I just like having something I can fly into C1,C2 or C3 without changing the fit.


STATS: At my skills about 550 omni-tank, 400 DPS with Furies. 260ish dps with Precision. 350ish dps with Caldari Navy Scourge.

At all level 5s (no implants) 561 defense, 411 DPS Scourge Furies, 278 DPS Scourge Precision, 368 dps Caldari Navy Scourge.
