Ships & Modules

Hi All,

I just resubbed after an absence for a good few months and was looking to get into incursions. This alt is purely PVE and caldari x trained with Amarr. I know nightmares are possibly the way to go but I wanted to keep my inital isk investment down. I understand that whilst it is possible to use my Golem / Tengu, turret ships are preferred.

So I found the following fits for ANI and an abaddon:





DPS / Survivabilty appears to be similar, I am a little cap sensitive in the abbadon, my question is, which fit is most likely to get me into a fleet?

You'll have a hard time getting into a fleet with a T1 amarr ship, as a guess. I've seen some folks get in with Rokhs.

Abaddon is fine for Vangards from the DPS output, but the cap becomes a problem in the bigger sites with MWD. A navy Armageddon would be the better choice all around if you got good sentry skills and use static gangs(like most VG shield fleets are).

As for the Paladin it is good for Assaults and HQs if you fly armor(else the NM is preferred by the added utility), not so much for Vanguards after the Web nerf.

If you already considering to invest a bit more ISK, the Nightmare(requires caldari BS) would be the ship of choice with the Amarr skill set, since it is the most often requested laser platform for shield fleets.

This would be the gist of the fitting what most channels fly, 2. Invu and DCU can be removed for VGs depending on boosts and if you invest in a pith Invu. You shouldn't have issues getting in the fleets of the big HQ channels with it(you need to add a mwd for that), if you pimp it a bit it would also do good in VG style contest fleets.
