Ships & Modules

I am not sure I like it. Two webs seems silly when you use 150 mm ac. But I think I see why you have two webs, there are a few choices for that last mid slot, can not really make my mind which one is better.

Did you notice that you have 375 hull hp and 375 armor hp, you could go for a hull tank...

I had a lot of fun today with this:



, killing a Talos (and all of its drones), an MSE Rifter, and an Imperial Navy Slicer (fight began in scram range).

Some notes, partially justifying this fit and partially comparing it against yours:

1. Of my fit: 200mm plate(+neut) fits neatly in place of of the SAR and NOS. And since the SAR would need to cycle over 20 times to repair as much EHP as the plate adds, and since the fit is stable at 70% cap without the SAR, this is a pretty reasonable change. In fact I'll stock up on some fits like this. But I still like the SAR for repairing damage between fights, and for not adding mass, and I still like the NOS.

2. MWDs are great, but you lose range control against otherwise similar AB fits. And if that's the result, why not fly a Punisher instead? You'll triple or quadruple your tank and do the same damage and be just as frustrated when a Rifter sits right on your face. Given an MWD I'd rather try and kite the best I can with 15km lasers, or else tackle something for a fleet - in both cases, fitting a warp disruptor.

3. Your rigs add like 16 dps on paper, and meanwhile laser tracking is just horrid but you do nothing for it. But since you won't be running your guns and your prop at the same time, this may not matter. Anyway, my rigs allow me to maintain a higher-speed and farther-away orbit with Gamma crystals while still applying damage well -- putting me right outside the first falloff of Antimatter charges, and putting me pretty far into the falloff of short-range autocannon ammo, and also making things difficult for enemy lasers, and also doing more to mitigate damage from missiles, while still flying close enough that escape is difficult.

4. You'd gain speed and DPS by switching from Overdrive+Collision Accelerator*2 to Heat Sink II + auxiliary thrusters * 2 + any other rig. You won't lose that much armor - but you'll gain people pointing and laughing at your combination of armor plates and astronautic rigs, so *shrug*.

5. Or with skills, +3% PG implants, and meta 4 rather than T2 plates, you should have room to swap the overdrive for a Heat Sink II and also fit a neut.

A few comments:
- I think I'd be a bit skittish about fitting a close range MWD tackle frigate. Maybe consider an AB fit or dual propping.
- Small shield extenders and small shield boosters are epic fail.
- The amount of fitting mods you're using for non-oversized mods is pretty outrageous - maybe you should consider looking into best named mods?
- Also, I like fitting a nos when I'm obviously meaning to fight at <5km.

So that addresses exactly zero of my observations.

Still having fun with this, but I should add a warning: although your normal MSE 150mm AC Thrashers are very very easy to kill (provided you're given like 15 minutes of 'alone time') by kiting at 8000m or so and tanking all of the damage, a sort of anti-kiter "I was expecting a Slicer" Thrasher -- having 200mm AC, tracking enhancers, a TD, and any damage at 15km as you're stil closing in -- will crush this Executioner like a bug.
