Does anyone have good ratting fits for a Chimera? I finally just got into mine and tried ratting with a fit I got off BattleClinic but it isn't working too well since when my fighters get attacked it takes over 20 seconds to lock them to heal them. Any help on a fit would be awesome, first time ratting in a carrier :D By the way I am anomaly ratting against Angels.

Well to help your lock times try fitting sensor boosters in the mids or sig amps in your lows. I thought the carrier was supposed to hold aggro though, try using remote Ecm?


Frankly though: your in TEST! you should be asking your alliance this, not broadcasting on forums that your a newbie ratting in her first carrier. Your asking for people to run locater agents and come hunt you down. Pandemic legion do this for sport. Your engaging in some dangerous behaviour (for yourself) with these posts. Also test is an old null alliance, they have the people there and the forums there to answer all your questions and frankly thats a safer place to ask. Not here.

Edit: to try to help you out a bit more https://zkillboard.com/alliance/498125261/losses/ this is the killboard of your alliance test. This will tell you by looking at losses what your alliance flies. I couldn't find any chimeras on here just rattlesnakes.

had 4000 cal navy nova heavy missils in the hold as well as Mjolnirs.

I'm sure that fit can be improved by forum experts, but thats the best I can find for you from your alliance losses.

Might be worth your time checking out chimera losses.

The 'standard' Chimera ratting fit is

Drone Control Unit
Drone link Augmentor
Cyno
2x Spare High Slot (smart bombs, neuts whatever to taste)

Capital Shield Booster
2x Adaptive Invuln Field
2x Omnidirectional Tracking Link
Drone Navigation Computer
ECM Burst

4x Drone Damage Amplifiers

3x CCC Rigs

7x Geckos
1x Heavy Drone

Carry a mobile depot and various refits, watch intel etc, etc. so you don't die due to being stupid. Permarun the ECM Burst to attract aggro from the rats, deploy Geckos (don't be poor) and profit. Should get you 25-35 million per tick. Remember when the capital changes come in this will change.

im unsure of any changes that will effect this, if you could please explain. ive only seen that for the most part they will be better at it? as carriers are moving to a more active combat role and away from triage. But i easily could have missed something and of course ccp hasnt told us everything being done yet.

Alright well first let me start you off with this is my alt, on a seperate account not linked to my carrier pilot, so you are wrong about someone hunting me down and killing my carrier because this is not that character. Second I have asked and no one responds (the usual). And you say that it's not safe to post here? There is spies all over the TEST forums and the alliance chat, no where is safe lol. I appreciate your concern but I know what I am doing, just looking for some fits from others.

Fighter carriers will not be able to field conventional drones after the capital changes so RIP Geckos

Uhh, I'm assuming the Drone Control Unit is there because you don't have Carrier..3?

read both dev blogs and only thing mentioned of drones is the moving to home station along with fighters, but nothing that says they are gone. Could you post a link to a post about it?

It's this one. Fighter attack carriers will only allow you to control fighters. It was also widely reported when first announced, https://www.themittani.com/columns/ccp-announces-capital-changes and there is discussion of it in this threas and others https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=6123498#post6123498.

Eh, thats fine I only use Fighters anyway, that is kind of dumb in all honesty, what is the point of a carrier then if you can't use drones lol You use fighters I get that but you are telling me a giant carrier cannot use small drones? Come on CCP that's a load of BS.

The only time you should be using fighters while ratting is if you're in a Thanatos... Other wise sentries or gecko/heavy are your best bet. Fighters just aren't meant to apply to ships smaller than a carrier. They can sorta hit bs, but even then they lose most of their dps.
