Tell me if I'm doing it right.

As you can see, I am a true master at fitting ships!

Is this serious. The answer is no.

Have you ever sat in Jita, looking at all the scammers, and thought; There must be one legitimate business out there? Well now there is. This ISK halving service is guaranteed to provide you with the best ISK halving service you could ever want!

Needs more hull tank.

Yes, I'm being serious.

that has no armor or shield, that's a one trip for that ship. Plus you can't even kite it out because it's blasters.

Is that a battleship warp drive, bet your you move like lightening, but no caps. Maybe swap that for a 50nm warp

I would feel a lil better with a lil armor.

I swear to Bob, if CCP ever switches the Naga from a railgun platform to a cruise missile platform, I will throw a fit of epic proportions* the likes of which have never been seen** or will ever be seen again***. Don't touch my railgun sniper!



*very moderate proportions

You see, I don't think you understand. This is a truly quickfast talos... This thing goes the speed of actual light, reaching top speed of 8581 m/s with a full 2m36s of capacitor life. If I were to put armour on it it would be slower.

But, so the fact of the matter is, if we really wanted to make a battering ram, we need to get rid of those ABSOLUTELY USELESS Neutron Blaster Cannon II...

This ship is an incredible ramming ship. Here is the key. First, you put your Warp Scrambler II, and your 2 Stasis Webifiers on the target, and click "Approach", while activating your 500MN Digital Booster Microwarpdrive. Your ship will accelerate to 8,848 m/s (Without Boosters or Implants), and then ram the target, dealing a full total of 0 damage due to the great collision physics, and knock their alignment way off, just in case they break free of your Warp Scrambler. From there, you just hope your Warrior SW-300s can kill them somehow...

the problem is IF you miss the TARGET (try bumping a frigate)
and you end just 800km away from it Cool

A few things:

1. Why ditch the guns? It's a friggin' Talos, the massive guns add to the terror factor. Twisted

2. You have run squarely afoul of stacking penalties. Adding more than 3-4 items boosting your ship's stop speed is rather fruitless. You've got 8 items boosting your speed, so half of them are more or less wasted.

3. You have not accounted for the extra agility necessary to maneuver or accelerate. Sure, you may break 8km/s, but you'll need a 1000km of approach to realize that speed.

4. You also have not accounted for the cap drain of accelerating over that distance. You may well cap yourself out before you ever hit full speed.

Suggestions:

A: Drop one or two of your overdrives for iStabs. You'll lose a little top speed, but you'll actually be able to achieve your top speed without needing to traverse a solar system to do it.

B: Consider dropping your rigs and/or or your non-MWD mids for cap mods.

C: Keep the guns (downgrading if necessary). Because...terror....

yea but i mean...
let's suppose he travels half solar system to reach the peak speed,
let's suppose he finds a target and hit approach.
let's suppose his cap last enough time to do all these things.

now:
try to hit something at your speed of 8k m/s, something small...
like a frigate, with a transversal of 3-4k m/S....
Shocked

easy!!!

the other half of the solam system is required to turn and stop xD

If you want to ram a moving frigate, use a frigate. Nothing else will be both maneuverable and fast enough.

But for bumping freighters or ships sitting on a station undock...well, just try it and see what happens. Pirate (Hint: for lulz, try bumping station-hugging cruiser-sized targets into the station. All manner of weird things can happen.)

(I prefer a Nomen for it's higher base speed and agility, plus it also has a cool battering-ram style bow. But that's kind of drifting off topic, so I'll save it for later.)
