Ships & Modules

Yea, Recon 1/3 I did, now I'm stuck at the 2/3.

I've just improved that Armor Tank mentioned earlier, so far the setup ended up like this:

[Rupture, Rupture-Armor]

220mm Medium Prototype Automatic Cannon (EMP M)
220mm Medium Prototype Automatic Cannon (EMP M)
220mm Medium Prototype Automatic Cannon (EMP M)
220mm Medium Prototype Automatic Cannon (EMP M)
Prototype 'Arbalest' Rapid Light Missile Launcher (Mjolnir Light Missile)

Experimental 10MN Afterburner I
Stasis Webifier I
Tracking Computer I (Optimal Range Script)
Medium Capacitor Booster I (Cap Booster 400)

Damage Control I
Gyrostabilizer II
Gyrostabilizer II
Medium Armor Repairer I
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane I

Medium Projectile Burst Aerator I
Medium Projectile Collision Accelerator I

3x Hobgoblin I

This setup gave me LOTs of DPS, and the armor repair. Capacitor is stable at 70%. PLus, will be easier to kill all those dam frigs I guess.

To use this setup, I need just like 1d of training. Should I go for it for L2s?

I wouldn't recommend it, as said before range is much more important than what dps you could theoretically deal

Hey there.

Most of your fits are not that bad for just starting out. You're going to run into having to repair your ship a lot in the beginning.

I do have some advice for you though that isn't related to your ship fitting but more on your skills and your training. This will actually make things more easy for you and you'll be able to fly better quicker.

First thing you need to do is remap your head for an Intellect/Perception fit. When you're new, you're going to be training skills all over the place and INT and PER are the most common skills you'll be training right away. Train your science to 5 and your Cybernetics to at least 4.

PLEX your account and sell on the market. Give yourself a few hundred million to work with. Buy a set of +4 implants. A 3% Powergrid Implant and a 3% capacitor recharge implant. Shouldn't cost you more than 140 million ISK. Plug all that stuff in and get to training. This will vastly speed up your training in the beginning.

Now. Pick a ship that you think you would like to fly. In this case, your Rupture. Normally I recommend new players to train their racial frigate to 5 first, and then train Assault Frigates, because you can do Level 3's in a well tanked Assault Frigate. Assault Frigate 4 or 5 will take you a long way, and you'll be really handy to have around as heavy tackle if you want to start PvPing. The Jaguar and Wolf are two of the best Assault Frigates in the game.

You want to get all of your core skills to at least 4. Minmatar Cruiser to 4, first thing. You will likely want to shield tank your ships so Tech 2 tank is your first training priority after Min Cruiser. Then you will want to get your Gunnery support skills to 4. And then train medium projectiles to 5 and then start putting time into Artillery or Autocannons specialization.

Weapon upgrades should go to 5 as soon as you can, and then Advanced Weapon Upgrades to 4 as soon as you can. This will make fitting your ships a lot easier.

Energy Management to 5 as soon as you can. This is for capacitor and helps a lot with getting your ships stable.

A lot of new players make the same mistake I did. I had a skill tree full of stuff at level 3. I could fly a lot of different ships, but I couldn't do anything really well. My DPS and tank ended up being weak. So I had to back off putting new skills in and concentrate on getting all of my fitting and ship skills up to 4's to start flying my ships better.

Also picking a weapon system and then focusing on it until it's all 4's or 5's will make life so much easier later. If you want to fly Minmatar, most of their strength lies in guns. Missiles not so much. There's a few exceptions, but when it comes to missioning with Minmatar, a Maelstrom would be a good long term goal for you.

Science to 5 right away get's it out of your hair. I would however agree that Cyber 3 would probably do fine.

Well it only works well up until you get above 10 million SP. Then I would say that it's a pretty good idea to either go PERC-WILL or INT-MEM depending on what you like to do more.

The INT-PERC remap is definitely good for a new guy, because it's a lot of "Oh ****! I need this skill for this module-ship-etc". There's a lot of that when you first start. Training is all over the place stat-wise.

I think you should buy some rigs.

But which RIgs? The ones that goes for 4m each? 12m is too much to invest on something like that right now. Sucks that I can't resell them later =/

Wooaa, thanks a lot guys, I'm heading to buy them RIGHT NOW :D

Now I'm gonna blow up all those dam ships!

Way better now. I have lots of CPU/Power grid left, Should I change that Light Missile Launcher for something else?
And I gotta say, way better for L2s, i can track and kill small ships way faster now.

I was thinking about getting a Prototype 'Arbalest' Heavy Assault Missile Launcher, just don't know which kind of missiles I should be using.
