Teach me your ways Shocked

Is that a single tower running that or synergy running 2 or 3?

my single computer, with dual Eyefinity Radeon HD7970 cards in Crossfire. the monitor connectors look like this, but that empty slot is filled now :-)

that's my sound card zip tied outside the body of the case--the video cards are triple slot, and the sound card is supposed to go between them, but there's no room. so I had to get a PCI extender ribbon to relocate the sound card.

I'm running through some graphics settings at interval immediate, and it seems like this setting doesn't look much different from all-high, and it runs like glass;
the selected client runs at 170-220FPS, and the unselected ones sit at around 70FPS.

it's sooo much easier.

though any more than 2 monitors side-by-side in horizontal aspect ratio makes you turn your head constantly

Definitely don't need 6 monitors for 6 characters.

I regularly use 6 characters on one monitor. Screens are overrated.

How does one increase FPS, Mine sits at a solid 60fps... all the time...

"Interval Immediate"

as far as I know, monitors are usually 60Hz, so they can only truly handle 60fps... but even then there are issues with displaying a full frame without overlapping with the one before or after it.

still, it seems that letting the video card off the leash to crunch its data as fast as possible results in a smoother, noticeably "slippery-er" client. like glass.

That's a good idea. I never thought of turning my secondary screens into vertical position for multiboxing. I might have to try that.

So why did you choose to go with 1 Nightmare and 2 basi rather than 3 spidertanking DPS boats? 3 Dominixes with sentrys could easily spidertank any mission and put out more dps overall. Also, what's the purpose of the Naga in the picture? :P

you're getting ahead of me--I am working my way back to having my ships

i sold everything off to fit up thanatoses like a dumbass

can't decide whether I want 3 rattlesnakes first, or 3 nightmares.

naga is a newb character. he's also in fleet but neutral and when i'm hauling valuables i can use him to call concord pre-emptively if someone looks like they wanna get froggy. #scout #neutral #2003 character

I think 3 rattlers with sentries will be pretty badass.

Fill the highs with shield transporters and energy transfers and spidertank them. That should leave some mids for omnidirect trackinglinks and the lows for DDAs. With a MJD you can easily just scoop drones, jump and redeploy if things gets nasty.

i'm not sure if you're familiar, i've been running triple rattlesnakes for some time...

slowkittehs

their latest loadout that I revisited over the last couple days

the reason I might go with triple nightmares this time, is although it's less tanky, they have utility highs for dual large energy transfers, and enough of a drone bay for lights, to shake off frigates.

I don't know. nightmares are faster but it's also more risky. we'll see.

i can get the dual orcas to cap chain off each other, and each have a third, cap stable, utility high for a shield transfer.

so basically a triple nightmare, dual orca level 4 fleet, with bandwidth for 25 medium drones

logi war orcas, anyone?

and think about it: the orcas can refill their drone bays with each other, so the gang can spew cheap T1 drones all day long

6635 has skills for an orca of her own in 24 hours. it's already in jita waiting for her. but don't say anything, we're going to make it a surprise

Ahh kk, didn't notice that you were already doing it.

Just a hint. Use Egress Port Maximizer instead of the CCC rigs.

They will bring the cost of the energy transfers down to ~37 instead of 55 which will save you much more cap than the CCC will give.

Do you really need 3 invulns for the rattlers? You can also put links on one of the orcas to increase the shield resists.

Also try to squeeze on some of the sentry damage rigs. And get a set of gardes as well. So if the targets gets closer, you will be able to burn through them with better dps and tracking.

great suggestion for egress port maximizer. suddenly made the rattlesnake cap stable with a full time large shield transporter. awesome. new setup--thanks, I didn't know what to do with the rigs.

-yes i need three hardeners because there are times when I don't catch things as fast I could, so a stacked mission tank is a buffer for my reaction time. Lol

-I tried a sentry damage rig, but the increase in DPS was 1%. maybe it has something to do with the four DDAs I have in lows.

-some issues with the Gardes.
---optimal is very, very short.
---frigates exceed the tracking before 30km (i'm eyeballing it--angular velocity is in my overview for sentries)
---anything that close and I send lights after them
---mission damage type dictates which racial drones I use, but for the sentries I usually won't change them out, just because the wardens have such a crazy optimal (93,750m and falloff of an additional 30km).
---even when wardens aren't the best mission damage type, with 1800dps between three rattlesnakes, they break through with brute force

Derp, forgot about the stacking penelties ^^

But regarding the rigs. 2 Egress port maximizers will still benefit you more than your new layout. And it will free up 1 rig which can be spend on shields.

Given that you have so many chars. You should really take advantage of links. Since you already has an orca char you can just train some leadership skills and put links on the orca and then just park it somewhere in the system.

So my suggested fit would be this. You can switch to a MWD if you prefer, but a MJD really works well with sentries.

With the 2 omnis, the Wardens have 114km optimalrange and better tracking. And even the gardes will have 45km optimalrange and great tracking. Now I dont know which distance the mission ships orbits at, but switching to gardes once they are within 45km range will greatly increase your dps. So thats one of the advantages of having sentries on a ship with a large dronebay.

<--i have links :-)

but i also want to be a battle orca with reps in the highs! we'll put SokoM in a command ship eventually.

also, the cap control and memory cell is for when they're jammed. sometimes the rats break my chain with jams, also damps



as for the MJD... there's no need to have a rattler with all that tank if you're not going to get hit....

and do you know what it's like to slow boat to gates??!

help me fit these, Mizzy :-) (i'll post a loadout soon)

//edit: with egress port maximizers i can run the XL booster flat out (with tachys) for 6.5 minutes. so i kinda know what you're going to say LolLol

//don't tell 5, but she gets an orca in 6 hours! shh!
