Ships & Modules

I wouldn't use gardes without omnis, and why waste so many slots on capacitor mods? One heavy cap booster and you're done.

Pimp to taste though I'd like to say the fed navy MWD is non negotiable because it's cheap and efficient. Chew through cap boosters slower.

Hi guys,

I want to ask you a question.
I am living in 0.0 space with Angel pirates / rats.

I read on the forums that Kronos is not the best but very good against Angel rats.
Well but I am no sure. I read that blaster kronos can put 1400+ DPS. But as far as I know the explosive dmg is best against Angels pirates. And Gallente primary dmg is therm/kin. So I am not sure about that 1400+ DPS vs Angel rats/ pirates.

So my question is: Is Kronos really good against Angel pirates in 0.0 ?

My idea of action is something like : Warp to 0 in Angel Sanctum, start bastion , kill all the rats, stop bastion and warp to another angel sanctum.

What are your comments about killing Angles rats with blaster kronos ?

Thanks

Mobile Depot Is kinda nice. Can sync the activation with a Bastion cycle, just scoop it when you are done.


No reason not to have 4x Railguns in your cargohold and start out with 4x Blasters.

5% ROF always.

First off NO PvE ship ever needs a Capacitor Booster, ASB, or AAR. You are just wasting money. If you can get 4min plus on your cap, you are good in ANY Marauder with bastion.
Second fitting 4 Mag stabs shouldn't be an issue either. Only need 3 armor modules to keep her going. That will also free up your rigs for CCC and/or one explos resist rig.
NEVER should need implants for CPU or PG. No need.
You also really don't need a tractor beam anymore, not with the mobile one. I put one on my ship and use a mobile tractor just in case, with one salv and salv drones.
Any Marauder should have bastion module now, it's your call to put on a MWD, MJD or AB. I don't really see a reason for them ,but others do. With rails you can hit past your lock range, same with the Golem, and I'm sure it's same with a Paladin and Vargur. I know what baout geting to gates, well easy slow boat while killing everything, usualy takes about the same time to kill everything has itdoes to get to the gate, so it works out. Today I popped every ship cruiser and down with one shot and took 3 to kill the BSs in a room, I killed the last cruiser right when I was 3000km from gate.

I say use a CCC because with bastion and a couple tracking computers and 4 mag stabs, putting anything to help falloff, optimal, RofF or damage wouldn't be worth it with the Penalty. So I say get a explos resist rig and/or one CCC or a different resist rep, maybe armor repair amount rig. The point is IF you use Cap booster you have to buy boost charges, so you are wasting money where you don't need to. No idea how this is a mix message. Missioning is about making money, not wasting money of stuff you don't need to.

Again you can put 3 armor modules and be good, but as you don't have much options for rigs, might as well put resist rigs, or CCC rigs, or armor repair rigs. Also rigs and modules aren't the same, so not sure how that is a mix meddage.

You don't need a CPU or PG implant, Maraurders also have more then another of both. Even if you add a couple heavy nose you should be good.
I add a tractor beam on both my Marauders to just speed up the salv in the end, but it isn't needed anymore, I do it because there aren't a lot of things to put in the high slots. They do still get a bonus to them so why not? No idea why this is a mixed message.

Kronos:
neutron gank with t2 burst aerator and 4 faction magstabs, at least 3 tracking/optimal mods
refit to rails after close range rats are done, with mobile depot

With a MJD enemies will never be farer away than 50km.

Bling accordingly. This beast has served me well, keep a mobile depot with tank refits. Lately I've used a mobile tractor structure, so you could just skip the STBIIs. Also, keep the web in your cargo and use a TC instead.

What separates good Kronoses from bad ones is to have no passive cap reg mods. Keep them as refits if you'd find yourself neuted to hell and back

I don't see why there are so many rail kronos'? My kronos is overtanked for 90% of the missions I pull, with a T2 adaptive, and an A type armor rep.

Kronos:

Highslots:
T2 Nuetron Blaster - Null or Faction Antimatter
T2 Nuetron Blaster - Null or Faction Antimatter

Salvager 1

(Alternate highs kept in mobile depot: 1x tractor, 2x salvager)

Mid slots:
Tracking computer, optimal range
Tacking computer, optimal range
Tracking computer, tracking speed (or optimal if I need to hit 70 km)
*Tracking computer, tracking speed
*(Alternative mids kept in bay for mobile depot: 100MN MWD, MJD, Cap recharger II)



Low Slots
T2 Mag Stab
T2 Mag Stab
T2 Mag Stab
*T2 Mag Stab
*Damage Control II (generally cap power relay if I have a MWD fit)
T2 Energized Adaptive
Core-X Armor repair (It works with any A-type as well)
*In cargo bay (Cap power relay II, T2 Energized, T2 Exp Hardener)

Rigs:
Anti Explosive Pump I
Auxilery Nano Pump I

I get about 4-5 minutes of cap with everything running (about 2 minutes w/a MWD and a cap relay).
In Bastion I rep 3500 armor per cycle and my explosive hole is partly covered with the rig.
My 1x falloff for Null is 67-73km pending scripts in my computer.

I use a MTU and salvage drones (with some lights incase frigs get within 10km of the ship).

I have 1 shot frigs at 90km, and can one shot frigs that are outside of 11km.

This just honestly makes running missions so rediculously easy that it's sad (I'm putting about 950 DPS out with Null, and well over 1100 with antimatter, and 1400 with void - but the range is such **** I don't bother). I flew a sentry domi for the last 2 years, and this ship is just better. It's also better than a blaster vindi or a rail vindi for missions (blaster vindis suck capacitor to close range and run shields & rail vindis just don't put out the DPS that this ship can even with sentries). As a bonus, neither the vindi or the domi can salvage with 1/2 the efficiency of the kronos they don't have the bonuses (plus they need their drones) & they don't have the cargo hold.
