I did a quick EFT fit for a Catalyst going for 800 DPS, highest I've managed to get was 612, so you sir are wrong about an 800 DPS Catalyst fit.



You can push 700 on a max skills gank fit with cheap implants, Void, and preheating your guns.

Edit: Still wrong about 800 though. That'd be a pricey damned fit if it's even doable.

ok I may have exaggerated at the cost of the ship but as this link shows

this fit can take out a hulk and pod for only 11mil

the OP made 2 claims.

800 dps from a catalyst.
it costs 2m.

both have been proven false.
therefore i do believe this thread should be locked for rumour mongering

ISK tanking is an awful idea. Ship worth should have no bearing on it's survivability.




Your wrong

8-10 could near on take out an orca with the response times in 0.5


Bear in mind that some of the people you're saying are wrong, gank barges and Orcas all day long and generally know what they're talking about. You've just painted a very large target on yourself, I hope you posted with an alt Twisted

Well damn me, I forgot all about implants and overheating.

When Bon Scott died and he appeared before St. Peter at the gates of Heaven, St. Peter looked at his record and told him he couldn't get in. Just then, God screams at Peter, "Let him in, Karen Carpenter is driving me nuts. I want to hear some music with balls. We'll haggle over the paperwork later." At least I hope that's what happened.

I am seeing gankers kill ships on 0.5 every 20 minutes. They use 3mills isk worth of destroyer that packs an 800dps hit and is more than capable of taking down 250mill worth of hulk tanked or otherwise.
No, they really aren't.

Quote:
They sit at safe spots and have alts deliver destroyers to them then bookmark and warp in on there targets often snagging the pods too because of the concord response times.
Have you tried hunting down and killing them?

What can we suggest to CCP to implement and make ganking more cost worthy?
A better question is “why?” Why should it cost more?

Well yea, they buffed the tank so that they don't have to tank their Hulk/Mackinaw, and instead concentrate on max yield. Sheesh, get with the times man.

Unfortunately, CCP hasn't built the tank directly into the hull yet. Look for mining barges and exhumers to be revamped to be almost exactly like freighters in the near future. Mining vessels will have max mining output rolled into the hull, as well as the resists, and resultant EHP of a DCU, invuln, and shield extenders/rigs, leaving only high slots for the chosen mining modules.

Or course, they will still scream like babbies fresh off the teat when their crap continues to be ganked.

Some yes. Others no. Generalizing about 'everyone' is always a bad idea.

Oh yes, that would be 'helpful' since Freighters never, ever get popped. Roll

Good morning, Tippia. I see that you've brought your sense of humor today.

Rumour has it that the new scanning system is severely dumbed-down and automated these days. Surely even a miner can make use of it?
