Ships & Modules

Hey, I've been playing around with EFT a little. I came up with this fitting for a apoc lv4 missions ship:

I am thinking about getting myself an apoc. And this looks very basic. Please tell me if you would change anything.

Yes, with tech I guns you should fit Mega Beams, and make them meta 4 "Modulated" because they use less cap and do more damage than any of the other named tech I mega beams.

As for your lows, I would change one of the em hardeners to a thermal, so it is 2x primary damage and 1 x secondary.

You could also drop a heat sink for a damage control imo. If you are starting level 4s the extra tank might just save your ship til you know more about them.

And last your drones don't make much sense. Explo drones are for using against angels. If you are going to fly any apoc against angels even with explo drones you will be very disappointed. For sansha and blood raider you will want gallente (thermal) drones on the apoc. If you were to fly a geddon you could use amarr (em) sentry drones, but otherwise I usually used thermal light and medium drones.

Yeah, grid problems fitting mega or tachyon beams. Even though it is a pain at first, train advanced weapons upgrades. And you can sacrifice a rig slot for an ACR or less preferable imo fit an RCU in a low.

The benfits of range options with the beams though outweigh the difficulties. Putting radio lenses in tech I pulses simply won't give you enough effective damage or range.

honestly l4s are a joke for a BS. Ive yet to do a l4 in a amarr ship but if its anything like angel l4s(range excluded, just amount of mobs), a tachyon abbadon can probably get by with a single repper non perma run. My maelstrom did angel l4s with 800mms and 1 shield booster no cap booster no cap modules except cccs. The sheer dps kills most high dps stuff quickly. If you break 600 you should be fine..when you start hitting 800-900(on other ships, or high skilled abbadon) it should become a joke.

looks ok, but use N-type (meta 4) hardeners, they use less cap than base tech I hardeners. And, i'm partial to a damage control instead of a second thermal.

The damage control does not get stacking penalized. It will give you a little more em resist and cap stability as well. Run it through pyfa or eft for yourself. It is marginally less tank. But on the other hand if your tank is breaking the extra resist on structure can allow you time to align and warp.

Your fit looks good, just change the lasers to the highest meta level: Mega Modulated Pulse Energy Beam I.
But move on to T2 asap.

Drop the DCII, replace with a heatsink.

Damage Controls have no place in missions in my opinion, the lure of the massive EHP buff is misleading as you should never end up in a situation where you warp out in hull if you use the mission guides.

If you can't use T2 Pulses (and Scorch) then you're right to pick beams.


If you do use T2 Pulses, then this was my normal PulsePoc fit which is a bit cookie cutter:

Lows:
3x Active Hardeners II, mission spec.
1x Faction LAR (Imperial Navy/Dark Blood. Identical stats, last time I checked DB were cheaper at ~90mil while Imp Navy were ~115m).
3x Heasinks.

Med:
3x Cap Charger II
1x TC (with range scripts)

Highs:
8x Mega Pulse II (with Scorch, IM Mulitfreq and oddly, IM X-ray crystals).

Rigs:
Whatever you want. Think I've got 1 or 2 CCC rigs on it. Could fit the rep amount rigs as well to beef up the tank.

It's a tight fit on the CPU, hence the need for faction gear. I plumped for the LAR, but faction heatsinks will do as well.

Once you get more comfortable with the missions you're doing, replace that EANM/DCII with another heat sink. More damage not only means you get more money faster, it also means you'll have less stuff shooting at you sooner and a lower load on your tank.

I don't think you'll find it problematic to track NPC targets using Scorch. Especially not if you can find space for a couple of tracking computers.

Alright guess I just need to fit it up and give it a try to see what happens. I guess the only other handicap I would have using a turret boat is the lack of damage shifting to match the mission.
