Holy sweet mother of mercy.

I look away from this thread for a few days, and Megathron and Rokh fits start showing up. While they're all gloriously intimidating (and making my Skill Queue scream in abject horror), I'm still flying a railgun Moa and working my way up to a Ferox. Frickin' Medium Hybrid Turret takes forever.

On the plus side - the Moa's slow speed isn't as much of an issue as I thought it would be... I can sit back and essentially vaporize targets as they close with me. L2's I can pretty much facreoll on the keyboard and finish, L3's are becoming easier, and I'm almost to L4's (Caldari Navy Security) which I expect to be trickier. Combat sites are also a nice chance for random violence, and I can steamroll Hideaways/Burrows/Refuges/Dens for some potentially nice stuff.

Did I mention I love Salvager drones? So much easier then bookmarking the wreckage and coming back later. Big smile

Regardless, thanks for the all the input and advice so far, and for seeing what's still out there to put more guns on.

Caldari are great for range so nothing wrong there. and moa/ferox are neat little bricks its just i love the look of the rokh i dont like the hull so in pve. But it is alot more forgiving on lower skills in my opinion.

PS if u think medium guns 5 takes forever dont even look at the large guns.

I've done Level 4 missions without issue in a rail fit Eagle, and training into Heavy Assault Cruisers brings a host of very important support skills for fitting.

As far as skills go, T2 Medium Hybrids is among the best skills I've ever trained, as it opens up two different races worth of ships, with two different playstyles. It will take about 10 days, (unless you have a Perception/Willpower attribute remap. You do have one, right?) but the payoff is significant later down the line when you want to start branching into different ship classes.
