Ships & Modules

can you drop the tractor for a second invul maybe???

The Mach needs high pilot skills to fly it in any way, shape or form.

NOT talking about the skills you are training or injecting here.

That's why I m not flying one gg

Fit is kind of plain. IN the sense of other fits I have seen (it looks fine in that noting is outright wrong with it) Mach as mentioned is more a blitz ship. Your lows...go to RF gyro. More dps, more blitzy. I commonly see 3-4 of them in fit searches.

You didn't post hardwires.. You want and need more dps so here is how you would get them if not plugged in already.

wires plus the shiny gyro....rats die faster. Old eve saying goes tank by gank. don't have to tank dead rats, faster dead less you have to tank.

If not going for blitz....marauder may be more to your taste.

Or to stay mach....and it is heresy to some...you might consider running mach in an armour tank setup sometimes. TBH this might be preferable in some setups.

Last I did mach pve long ago....armour setup made me feel better against em based rats. Heavy em slamming me had me not liking a shield tank sometimes. I felt tank by gank wasn't applying well here. But in my case I don't spam eve-survival for mission guidance . So sometimes I hit triggers on accident for more rats I'd be better off not having. Bad habit from tengu pve...I just start shooting crap and don't care with the speed/sig/actual tank on it. Armour tank will drop your dps as a trade off obviously.

And since on about Em and I eee you have a slot open, maybe an Em rig. Its not much, but its better than nothing.

I used to fly a similar one, injected too. Here what i would recommend:

- Drop MJD, add Afterburner. Your tank will benefit a lot from AB speed (damage reduction from missiles, harder to track too).
- Remove a tracking enhancer, replace with a gyrostabilizer
- Get an ambit rig, add a resistance rig (EM probably), last rig should be either capacitor safeguard or a second resist rig, tech 2 ambit and resists rigs should be kinda cheap
- With resists rigs you should be able to switch your passive EM for an active whatever, or even a second invul if you still have CPU left

With these changes you should get a bit more DPS as well as better overall tank. Feel free to go RF for gyros, as advised.

Hardwires can be a personal choice. I like to make "generic" setups. I like implants work on more than one ship weapon and ship class and even race.

You can get this here almost. Cost and desire to pay that will determine level. For PVE clones I like the ones ending in 05. assuming no poddings they make their money back in time.

Slot 7 motion prediction...tracking always a good thing...and this will work with any gun ship
Slot 9 surgical strike..work with anything gun based...more damage never a bad thing.

These 2 will add some kick to the ship...and if you want to take a say loki for a spin they work their too.


Rest..call is on the player.

Slot 10 has the large projectile implant, its player call to lock that slot down. If spamming the mach (or going marauder one day to mix it up a little) could be a decent investment. Pirate or T2 BS the peak of pve unless wandering out of empire for cap/super pve lol.

Slot 8 not much there for direct damage application for this boat. Is a long range targeting implant for range. It's application to minmatar not as much a payback as it with my say rail Kronos I run from time to time. Find something better..thats up to you

slot 6 is the will you ever run set implants with omega personal debate.

If you don't blitz, then try this fit.

Hi 800 + Heavy Nos
Med Gist C-type afterburner, Gist C-type large shield booster, 3 rat specific hardeners
Low 4 damage mods, 2 tracking enchancers, damage control
Rigs: ccc

Use afterburner to speed tank NPC. Always shoot frigs first, then cruisers / bc and then BS.

-x 4 RF Gyro
-X3 TE
-500 mwd compact
-heavy electrochemical capbooster/ 800 cap
-2 missions specific pith resist hardener
-Pith XLshield booster

-x 7 800MM t2

-em shield rig t1
-Large Projectile Collision Accelerator t2

This will close the deal of any mission you may encounter,use standard ammo for completion ,faction for blitz.
If you re tight on cpu either pimp the TE or switch for a cpu upgrade ,and you can also switch the rig for hyperspatial velocity one if you farm in minmaatar space.
For drone id recommend to stick with lightdrones,heavies are too slow to actually have a significant effect on time completion, under heavy BS presence either use gecko if money isn t an issue or medium drones are quite a good compromize compared to heavies .

here we go, took me a while to find it but worth reading

A typical case of a bling fit that's actually worse than a normal decent one. No speed mod means you can't close in to get in better falloff resulting in poor performance and slow completion times.

don't need it that much in null sec.. I made 45m a tick a fair amount.

just realised its a lvl 4 mission fit I went out of my way to kill in a mission and took out his pod too.. basically my null sec fit is very different
