Ships & Modules

Things to consider and some questions.

Drop the 4th DDA and the 4th DLA neither of them is doing you much good because of stacking penalties. Opens up two slots to use for something else.

Sniper fit but no prop mod? how much time do you waste simply trying to get around a mission pockets when the MJD cannot get you where you need or want to be?

Sniper fit with salvage drones? Not that salvage drones are a bad choice, just without the prop mod it must take forever to salvage anything from the mission with travel time for the drones and / or the ship.

In a sniper fit why bother with the Garde II and there short ranged weapons bouncer or curator might be better choices.

Related why waste the bay space for the 6th Garde when that space could hold part of a squad of mediums?

Why 15x Hobgoblins? drop as needed to get the rest of that squad of mediums.

Since we are on that topic why no mediums?

Thanks for the reply.

I use a mobile depot to put a MWD on. Garde has the most damage, first i send out the wardens and if the enemy is close i send out the gardes.

Medium drones, i wil try that, How good are they at destroying frigates?

What can i use instead of the DDA and the DLA?

i switched the cap module for a target painter.

196, i think that is too much, i only cover 134 targeting range with 1 scripted sensor booster, 169 with a second (unscripted).

I'd suggest replacing the Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancer with an armour hardener (for comfort) or a 4th DDA (for more pew pew).

Fit a target painter instead of one of the SeBos, so that you can keep aggro on you and off your drones.

You don't need that fourth DLA, IMO. Or those remote armour reps. But you can do whatever you want with your high-slots, since most of the pew comes from your drones anyway. Maybe railguns or 1200s, to augment your dps.

I'd go with something like this.

Again these are my thoughts for you to consider.

If you are sniper fit and the NPC are big enough and close enough for the Garde to be effective they are to close, time to MJD away from them again.

Mediums are not that great on some/most frigates, they do however make short work of the destroyer and cruisers.
In reality it is more about what might be than anything else. Dropping the 6th Garde and 5 of your 15 Hobgoblins does not make them any less viable but it does give you the option of having the mediums if / when you need or want them.

Replacing the DLA, some guns for agro control or additional DPS when possible. a second remote rep if you find you need them very often.

The DDA, another hardener to better resist damage, mag stab or gyrostabilizer to help the guns, signal amp to help targeting or even a capacitor power relay to help with cap recharge all come to mind.

Dont have eft in front of me so Ill just comment on one thing. If you can ALWAYS fit more dps for PvE. Keep the 4th DDA
