Missions & Complexes

You're not going with armor subcaps?

i nearly fell off my chair at this.
phoenix doesnt hit BSs. like at all.

if youre only using capitals and a web ship, you need an archon and a rev/moros.
if youre using subcaps for 1st wave, any carrier will work with archon still being by far the best.

all of your dreads should be moros or rev with moros being better.
(nag is good for anti pvp and pos bashing, phoenix is totally useless.)

i know this probably isnt what you want to hear given your stated cap capabilities but train for an archon asap.
it's only 35-40odd days for any per/wil specced carrier pilot and is very much worth it.
if youre serious about small number c5 running, youre gonna want a moros/rev pilot too since by far the best way to run the sites with low numbers is archon, moros/rev and a loki.
note that you'll need a boosting toon at the pos too.

EDIT:
dont build caps in a c5.
LS entrys are very common, just jump them in.

If you have 4 characters (including the fleet booster), you can get a full capital escalation (even with just 2 capships). I'll go into more detail shortly. Also, you aren't going to be kiting with capital ships... they can't move when seiged/triaged. First though, the ships:

For all of the below, I'm making all statements assuming a max skilled mindlinked tengu or legion boosting offgrid (cause you stated that you have one). Note that the only mod that affects capital local reps is the resist bonus one, the rep amount/time and cap use links do not affect the local, but do affect RR. Fits are using t2 links.

Dreadnought:
You want either a moros or a revelation (moros does more dps, rev doesn't have to worry about ammo). Technically a naglfar can work, but its actual performance is pretty abysmal. You need to hit at 37km (the orbit range of escalation battleships). If there is any way possible to manage it, you want to have a t2 seige mod (even if only for the ability to lock 3 targets... 2 just isn't enough) and you are going to want a scan resolution scripted sensor booster, otherwise your lock time for a sleeper battleship is 50s...

As for actual dreadnoughts, with effective C5 fits. Tank is a DCU, 2 hardeners and a capital rep for all of them (armor or shield, either can work). No faction equipment on any unless otherwise noted, and capital mods are all meta 0. In order of utility:

Moros with 2 magstabs, t2 seige mod, and 2 tracking computers:
optimal is 24+31 w/ antimatter
9865dps with max skills
3512dps sustained tank, 6836 reinforced
To hit a target, target needs to be triple webbed - painters also help
7min cap with everything running

Revelation with 2 heatsinks, t2 seige mod, and 2 tracking computers:
optimal is 30+20 w/ multifreqency
7174dps with max skills
tank is same as the moros, but with max skills it has 9 min of cap instead of 7 min
again, to hit a target, target needs to be triple webbed, and painters help

Naglfar with 2 gyro's, t2 seige mod and 2 tracking computers:
optimal is 20+59km with autocannons
5418dps w/ max skills
9003dps tank with shield, armor is same as rev/moros (shield has only about 3 min of cap though, armor has 15min)
to hit a target, target nees to be triple webbed, and painters help

Pheonix I'm going to state why the capital missiles suck so hard and can't be used.
A pheonix with 4 BCU's would have 8705dps using torps. However, tops on a battleship target do the following:
Using a bhaalghorn as an example (cause I had it up), signature is 400m, speed is 111m/s, and a webbing rapier as an example (bonus to web range and painter strength)
With 0 webs, 0 painters, the pheonix does 188dps (no, I didn't loose a 0 somewhere)
with 1 web, 0 painters, it does 470dps
with 2 web, 0 painters it does 981dps
with 3 web, 0 painters it does 1492dps
with 0 web, 1 painters it does 285dps
with 1 web, 1 painters it does 712dps
with 2 web, 1 painters it does 1487dps
with 3 web, 1 painters it does 2260dps
with 0 web, 2 painters it does 413dps
with 1 web, 2 painters it does 1031dps
with 2 web, 2 painters it does 2152dps
with 3 web, 2 painters it does 3272dps
with 0 web, 3 painters it does 534dps
with 2 web, 3 painters it does 1334dps
with 2 web, 3 painters it does 2785dps
with 3 web, 3 painters it does 4233dps

I would like to note here that the moros with 3 webs and 3 painters is doing 8176dps, and with 3 webs and 0 painters is still doing 7665dps against something orbiting it. The cruise missile version of the pheonix has the same issues as the torp version, but its base dps is only 5045dps (which maxes at 3275dps with 3 webs and 3 painters). The explosion velocity of citadel torps is 17.4m/s, and the explosion radius is 1750. Torps have an explosion velocity of 12, and an explosion radius of 2000.

Now, on to carriers:

For carriers, the archon is the best, because it gets a tanking bonus, and can remote armor rep and remote cap transfer at range. It also has the best cap of any of the carriers. Following that would probably be the naglfar, because it gets a RR amount bonus, but it is significantly more vulnerable to neuting. After that the chimera and thanatos are pretty even in my book, because the chimera has cap and fitting issues, while the thanatos doesn't get a bonus to cap transfer range (but has significantly better cap than chimera fits I've been able to come up with). When triaged, I would have 2 RR and 1 cap transfer - the cap transfer is turned on when the web ship needs it and with a fleet booster 1 triage capital rep is enough to keep most ships alive under a double escalation. Having 2 allows you to catch people though, and you are going to want enough cap to permarun either 2 RR, or 1 RR and 1 Remote cap. You will also want to be able to last for a few minutes with everything running - this will help when you are being neuted, but they are shooting another target which you have to keep alive. T2 triage mods are nice, even if only for the stront usage reduction (triage 5 with a t2 triage mod uses half the stront of a triage 4 t1 triage mod). 1 Capital local rep is enough to keep you alive with your fleet booster though, which really helps out your cap situation.

Lastly, for fleet composition:
you need 1 triage carrier
1 dps dreadnought
1 webber (huggin/rapier/loki/bhaalghorn)

warp in triage carrier 1st, then webber, then dreadnought. Dps site down. If you want to get full escalation, warp out, and have the dread and carrier pilots switch - when you warp back in you will get the second escalation, allowing you to do full escalation with only 3 pilots in site. Don't kill the last ship in the site - this will allow you to farm it for several days.

Arazel, I have no idea where youre getting your DPS figures from for moros and revelation but they are way out.
Firstly, your dreads should have at least 3 damage mods and more than 2 TCs.

DPS figures off the PVE fit dreads (3 faction damage mods, before implants) we use are as follows:

Rev:
10320 dps @ 34+20 (Faction MF)

Moros:
10599 dps @ 36+24 (T1 Uranium), 11659 with faction
12719 dps @ 24+24 (T1 Antimatter), 13990 with faction

EDIT:
I missed that youre using stock guns and T2 mods...
Stop being a cheap arse.
Running 1 site can pay for full pimp on guns, EANMs and damage mods for a dread.
Rep should also be meta.

Regarding getting the caps in, just buy them in LS and jump them in.

yeah not sure about the moros dps, seemed low to me too but that's what my EFT told me *shrugs*

you don't need any cap mods on the dreads tbh.
just make sure you have them in cargo so you can fit them off the carrier if you need to.
i use T2 mem cell rigs on my rev too, works better IMO.

faction those EANMs asap bro.

I thought that you couldn't reprocess modules at a POS. i may be wrong tho, and would appreciate more info :)

Yeah you do need the T2 cap rigs. either work.
i wouldnt go shield cos it's way worse on cap and you then need to run shield and armour boosts.
