Gonna be a ***** to fit those on the Ishtar. It does appear that they are better than the T1 Sentry Damage Augmentor rigs, which they presumably stack with. Gonna make for some interesting choices.


Well, less CPU use than the sentry rigs, but also less damage (and FAR less damage than other weapon mods). Check out this thread in the test server forums for the feedback we have going ATM.


They don't use less CPU than the sentry rigs, at least not at Drones Rigging IV. On my Ishtar, the first SDA rig uses 17.81tf. A second SDA I costs 16.92tf.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

I doubt you will see any of these mods on phoons. You are either fitting gyros to pump up your ACs or bcu to pump up your missiles. Will be interesting to see if a stacking penalized third damage mod would have less desireability than one of these or a damage mod to your secondary high slot weaponry.

As for Domis and Ishtars, Gila and Rattlers, it would remain to be seen how the fitting stats meld. CPU on any Gallente ship is always a consideration. And even if you fit one of the new cpu rigs you are doing so at the loss of another flow slot mod you used to use and a rig slot that used to be filled with something else.

We simply won't know the possibilities til they've been on the test server for a little while and someone either posts holy **** look what you can in fact do, or there is a collective response of nice but meh. Hopefully CCP will be monitoring the feedback on tinkering and be willling to adjust things in response if things look ridiculous before putting it live on tranquility.

But thanks for creating this thread.Smile

I haven't logged on to the test server to check them out yet.


I used to run the navy phoon with 6 damage mods; now I think it will work brilliantly with 3 RF gyros and 3 drone mods. Even got room for a couple tracking enhancers. Shield tank of course, now with sentries and rapid light missile launchers possibly.
