Ships & Modules

o/

We've all seen the lol fits that turn up every time we log in, that are shunned and generally trolled...but what about those that have actually worked? what about those fits that you put together laughed at but then though ..."but what if"

I want to see them! 200mm autocannon Maelstroms, Disco frigates, battle Bursts, tripple rep logi... ect

the only rule is that they have to have worked. you have to have killed your intended target, or survived, or done what ever you were aiming for...

Cool stories welcome too

*Must remember to revisit thread and update with the fits I used.

I'm an occasional player, mostly log in, update my skill que and log out again. But sometimes I try to blow stuff up too.

A while back I had gotten the hang of can flipping and had earned kills against mining barges and even a mining fit battleship while flying a Tristan. I think the area was over fished because over a short period of time, there were no more kills to be had.

I thought at the time that perhaps the *fearsome mighty Tristan* may have been stopping miners from stealing their ore back or setting their drones on me.

Maybe, I thought, just maybe I could bait them with a less intimidating ship. Something that would even look like a mining vessel itself... Perhaps I should stick an afterburner and a scram on a Navitas... And some Blasters... And even a small buffer.

Yea, that worked in getting an engagement. But the mining vessel, sat next to the recently pillaged can, just looked on in a bemused fashion while I got murdered by a Rifter. The Rifter pilot sure was surprised that I took him to half armour before he killed me though!

Another time I had been doing some dustbin men work in the mission hub systems around Dodixie. I had gotten quite bored, very quickly, when I realised that from an isk value was far less than I thought it to be. I was intrigued however at the amount of times I was shot at.

This was before the session change timer for switching ships was patched away so by the time I had returned with a suitable nuety pewy battlecruiser, the mark had always docked up by the time I returned. What I needed was a ship that looked engagable again. Something that had, 4 turret slots plus utility for a neut. Some sort of tank etc.

And lo, my bait rupture was born. If I remember rightly, I had the following.

4x Autocanons
1x Salvager (for realisitic baiting purposes)
1x Medium Neut

1 Afterburner (pre-MWD work in deadspace)
1 Warp Disrupter II
1 Cap booster

1 MAR II
1 DC II
2 Damage specific hardeners (kin/therm)
1 Gyro II

Went up against a pair of gallente battlecruisers but my damage/neuting was too anemic to break their tank. But I had gotten the aggression I needed. They were very confident that they could kill me so they were still there when I returned in a Cane.

Important things to note;

This fit was used pre-Tier 3 BCs (it was made obsolete by the Oracle)

It is intended purely as an anti kiting platform capable of keeping up with shield BCs

Intended to roam in packs of 4-6 as support for main fleet of BCs

Roughly the same EHP as a nano Drake with Webs (BIG EM hole, but no one ever shoots EM at an Apoc )

Roughly the same align time as a 1 Nano Drake, ~1500m/s Overheated

Upshots

It shoots to 90km with sweet sweet scorch...almost all EM damage...when a Cane or Cynabal or what have you is MWD-ing away trying to kill your tackle...4 of these bad boys spewing forth laser goodness into their big EM hole = AWESOME

It aligns fast enough and burns fast enough to mostly keep up with the roam...

Does a lot more DPS than a Drake at greater range and instantly

Downshots

It is a very expensive drake that only shoots EM ammo and has tracking issues if things get too close...

Needs 3% CPU implant

Capped out after 4 MWD cycles + guns running

And after all that...here it is!

I killed a thrasher with this sh!t.

When I flew it I did cap out mui quick, but it was never meant to kite. It was literally there to pick off the smartasess in Canes/Cynabals/nano-drakes trying to burn off the fleet. After the first few times I took it out people started figuring out what I was doing with it and called me primary...so i found the little extra tank was worth it for the lack of cap. You're right though the cap booster is a must have for any prolonged engagement (you have the grid for it too).

In practice it worked quite well even with its crap cap life. A heavy cap booster probably would have been handy, but most fights never lasted long enough for it to matter. Like I said though it is now totally obsolete. The Oracle does what is was meant to do better.

P.S. Updated original post :)

A lot of people tend to forget that the nano drake(and drakes in general) used to be laughed at. I remember when Naxias first posted his Crappy Drake fit on Battleclinic and a ton of people called the fit **** and talked about how ****** the ship is at pvp. Now people whine and complain how overpowered it is.

This is one of my favorite anti-frigate Helios Fits.... works very well...

No Booster or Tackle but it will soaks up Damage in a Gate or Station Camp with a conservative 50k EHP Buffer and 800-1000 Active Tank. This is without Drugs or Implants. No need to worry about range as Heavy Missiles have a long reach. You can jam an MWD or tackle on it if you want to with some creative fitting. With secondary tackle on field this is a pretty tough nut to crack.

I haven't tested though, I am still playing with the idea.

Not sure if km links work on forums but that's one I lost heading home after a battle (pesky interceptors!). Useless on its own but a group of these spanked a bunch of war target bcs for quite a while for a really fun fight. Total lol-fit, ridiculously fun and disposable fleet. Now we have the tier 3s these would be pretty easily dismissed from field I fear though.

Friend got nailed in a ranis by an oracle that had a neutralizer fitted.

I went back and adjusted my ranis fits to have a small nos subsequently. Sadly he died to someone else before I could let him try it on me.
