My tank just absolutely cannot handle even the easiest of sites in a -.9 trusec system it seems. Any recommendations?

Well you have two options

1) Fit 1400mm Arty's and a AB, keep range and avoid most dps and neuts, something like...

lots of people shield tank it to get max gankage in the lows. plus shield tanking means keeping the ships speed up. armor tanking slows it down

No difference in gank. He had 3 gyros on that shield Mach. An armor Mach with standard 4 slot tank also has 3 gyros. 3 TEs gets moved to mid as 3 scripted TCs. 2 mids left for ab and cap booster. Rep armor fitting (no plate/trimark) don't gimp speed, not that it matters much in pve anyway. Armor affords you better EM resistance and cap.

Why would armor be slower at killing? Same number of gyros, Scripted TCs replacing same number of TEs.


Dyaven Likes received: 55	#14 - 2012-01-18 16:27:42 UTC \| Edited by: Dyaven If I fit all three TCs with scripts it's the same range but zero tracking bonus. Atm I'm using one Range script and two unscripted TCs as that seems to be the best mix.

Atm I'm using one Range script and two unscripted TCs as that seems to be the best mix. Small 9% stacking penalized tracking bonus from TEs don't add to much. At long range, ACs tracks well enough. At short range, switch script for big 30% tracking bonus.

I use the above...
Needs 3% CPU implant or 1-2 faction mods to fit.
I swap the 2nd invu for a Photon vs. EM heavy opponents like Blood Raiders.
Works a charm, speed tanks a lot more than it does on paper. Even better with hardwirings and faction ammo.
