I've been playing around with fits for the Orthus on EFT and I'm not finding any fits that I really like. Anyone have a fit they've used and had success with?

If so other than massive long webs and neuts have you found it to have any major weaknesses?

Looking for PVP fits here. Also I like to keep things to Tech 2 where possible but I'm not against the odd faction or deadspace mod if it serves a specific purpose.

Thanks in advance.

Mind sharing? I'm intrigued with the ship and would like to fly one, but I've yet to find a fit that I like more than my tengu.

Dualprop and kitey, even webs can't stop the rock.

Here's how I'd fit one if I was going to fly it. This isn't a tested fit though, it's too expensive for me and I also don't fancy flying pimped kite boats cause I suck at it and getting hard tackled is usually a death sentence. I would fly it with at least Mid-Grade Snakes and links if possible. I think nano over the DCU is a good option as well as more speed will probably help you not get caught but if you do, a DCU isn't going to save you.

Fitting both a point and scram is key I feel.

Faction scram is pretty much mandatory, faction point is nice but not strictly required I guess. The scram will allow you to use heat to safely disable the MWD of anything capable of running you down while you kite.

A T2 point will reach 36 km without heat or links which should be enough most of the time but a faction point will just let you secure that many more kills as you will be harder to peel.

Reality has an almost infinite capacity to resist oversimplification.

Protip: If you fit LML instead of RLML (yes they are bonused) you free up much PG and CPU for other silly things such as an XLASB instead of 1 of the LSE which gives you an insane tank.

Don't worry. I haven't told them about the Gila yet.

I saw the video of DBRB losing a fleet to 5(?) Gila's. Those things are crazy good now. Unfortunately my drone skills are wanting.

To be fair, the FC for that fight was straight up ********. He would have lost his entire fleet to any sort of kiting gang.
