Which isn't tach range.

Scorch doesn't really hit the ranges I'm looking for. Also, you are aware the the navy geddon has fewer effective turrets than the paladin, right? And it can't fit Tachs.

Yes, but it's missing a turret...

Yes you can...it's called switching to pulse for those 1-2 rare 100km gate missionsRoll

You're right, I updated the post with math, I did it wrong in my head. Either way it is close enough to not care.


It is enough range for missions or ratting. Few ships orbit past that.

Why on earth would I want to have to wait for them to orbit. Also, consider that Sanshas' EW is tracking disruption which means in many missions I'm likely operating at a fraction of my normal optimal. With Tachs and a 90% web for the ones that get close, this matters little.

Don't bother fitting a web. The paladin will alpha frigs and most cruisers with 2 lasers and BC with 1 full volley so just lock them up in the beginning and pop them at range. For the really really lucky ones that make it through your drones can take care of them. Once you get the hang of flying a paladin you will wonder why you didn't get one sooner. It excels as a sniper. And blood and sansha missions are great for sniping since they spawn >50km out and in some missions you can warp in at any range you want.
