All good advice above. If you're in something that will last a minute don't forget that a mobile depot lets you refit during the fight.

Who actually does this in FW?

Heavy frigate meta with fights generally lasting less than 1 minute, but even they do last longer, are in larger ships, how many people out there are actually refitting mid fight in FW systems?

I might have to give it a go I think. Might be a good way to add flexibility to you cruiser setups but would increase your loss much more if you have 2 fits worth of gear in the hold etc. But what the hell it's only isk!

That is the Way, the Tao.

Balance is everything.

Yeah kinda figured Lol

TBH I would have thought it would be best if you were in a brawling setup seeing as the 'depot' pretty much ties you down to a single point or do you drop it, kite off, then circle back around type of thing?

That is the Way, the Tao.

in that instance. i had a anti kite fit setup. so i mwd'ed out to 60km anchored and refit to my long point TP and web. i could knock hard at like 40km with radio.

so the 2 frigates came in and i was perma jammed. and i guess the thoraxs were nano shield or somthing but they were on top of me quick and during the re fitting of stabs i just died.

unsuccessful story but there is many other successful ones.

i have yet to test if saving fits and saying 'fit ship' works under the mobile depot would be nice to just insta fit stabs and bail

Let them kite, fit warp core stabs and find another plex. There's always empty ones available, no need to waste time fighting over them.
