Eww. Get T2 pulse with scorch. Good range, better tracking and DPS. Beam lasers make PVE far to tedious.


Why the hell would anyone want to get in close and take damage when you can stay out of range, taking no damage, and accomplish the same thing??

I did the same EvE reboot as op.

I suggest a Phantasm for HiSec exploration.

It has your lasers and utility slots. It seems to work pretty well for me.

I'm guessing since this is your second time around ISK isn't an issue.

I agree that once you get T2 Med guns, go and knockout the drone skills(T2 Hobbies, Hammers, Warriors and Valks)
It's less than 1M skill points that you will always have a use for.

Training the Phantasm is also on the way for Nightmare fun.



OOOOOO I have been looking for an excuse to buy one.. methinks I will try this just cause I love my NM Big smile

high sec exploration sites can be completed in a Retribution. Even pre AF buff I was managing 4/10 guristas sites with my pulse lasers.
Anything bigger than a retri is more than enough for high sec.

To avoid neuts, hold range. To avoid tracking disrupts, kill cruisers first.

You've obviously never had to race another explorer. high-DPS ships that let you fight in close are the ones that let you be on the gate when it unlocks and get the kill that yields the loot. While you're struggling to maintain range and avoid damage, I'll be tanking it and killing the faction NPC or structure that drops the goods.

edit: also, I can steal the loot right out from under you. Because I've got the DPS and tracking that you don't, and it would be suicide for you to engage me within disruptor range.
