Solo Panther Fit (no jump drive)

Stupid post deleting forums...

Right..

I have a Panther I've been trying to get a solo fit out of. As background i live in WH space so no jump drive necessary (i'll fit it if i need it later). I have max armor skills, but would be willing to up my shield skills.

My current fit has a small 70k armor buffer / 1000dps / dual neuts / dual tracking comps. I like it all except the buffer, which seems a little flimsy to realistically be effective. I know tanks cant be huge on blops but maybe a blingy active setup or something is more survivable?

It seems the Sin is the preferred blops for solo, but can a similar tank setup work on a Panther?

The current idea is to have the blops sat in the center of a big bubble cloaked n waiting for targets to land on the edge. I realise there are better ships for the job especially since i don't plan to use jump drive but bare in mind i'm well old enough in game to not care about efficiency and this is really just to settle a curiosity I've always had about Panthers :D

Thanks everyone Pirate

A brawling fit will be weaker in every conceivable way than just having a decent combat fit T1 BS waiting (other than the immediate lock after decloak and scan res). You could sit off it in a AC kite one similar to what Chessur used waiting to decloak, lock and start killing/kiting.

The only other thing i can suggest is a near insta lock arty Panther sat away from the bubble waiting to take a pot shot and run if things go south. It is a ridiculous waste of isk but the only way i can see you making use of a Panther in this situation, other than previously mentioned.

Thanks for the input mate :)

Yeah i'm well aware a T1 setup would mop the floor with a blops in straight combat. I just kinda had it kicking about from a time i was trying out blops drops and wanted to see what's the best i could get out of it.

I always had blops pinned as a pointless exercise other than for jump bridging, then i started seeing some solo sin videos pop up on youtube and saw some pretty impressive shield tanks. Thought i'd see what can be done with the Panther is all.

Thanks again o/
