Rokh Sniper Fitting?

Though I like the Naga and plan on having one outfitted as well, I see how easily they get popped too. At least with the Rokh you have the chance of having a friend come in if you have a bit of a buffer and some resistances. I've changed it around a little, playing with it some. The changes are below. I removed a bit of shield points for a tracking computer, so I have two tracking computers. I also added 2 tracking enhancers, instead of 1, and a Signal Amplifier. This gets me out to 146 KM already. If I want a bit of extra range, I can put an additional signal amplifier on to increase my range to about 184.38 KM. Also, I can use the scripts for the computers depending on what it is I want at that moment. With this I'm still tanky enough, I have 119,721 HP. I also have 70% or above in all resistances too, so I don't think I'll be blown up easily. Waiting for friends to help if I do get caught, using the MJD, aligning properly, and using the ECM drones, I should be moderately safe. Though I'm not sure if I should have two tracking enhancers normally, insread of tossing on an additional signal amplifier and ditching one of the tracking enhancers for another mag stab. It would increase the damage a bit. Anyway, the fit is below.

High

-8x 425 gauss guns

Med

-2x Adaptive Invulnerability Shield 2
-2x Tracking computers
-1x Large Shield Extender 2

Low

-2x Tracking Enhancer
-1x Signal Amplifier
-1x Mag stab
-1x Damage Control

Let me know what you think of the modifications. Thanks to everyone who's helping here, I really appreciate it!

honestly the "waiting for friends" argument isn't really a good one, if you get scanned down and punted on, they're not going to do it with a few frigates. they'll launch things that can kill you quickly.

Rokh is just not good for small fleet engagments, naga does far better in that regard since it's much smaller and agile and that's what's going to save you, not the hp of a rokh.

I used the wait for friends, because I'll only be doing this with a small group of people, and only ever 100km or so away from them; possibly a little more. It know that it isn't optimal for the small gang use, I just prefer it. I can change fittings for much longer range when I with the fleet that I play with I can change some of it out and be much longer range. So it fits the needs of everything I can do right now. Regarding the fitting I posted, what do you think about it?

What you're trying to achieve doesn't work, not these days anyway. 8 seconds after you warped to your "sniper spot" you will be probed out and scram tacklers will be in warp, probably from the same grid you're on, and then you'll die because you're all alone.

Thanks to everyone who has given there input, I really appreciate it. I've spoken with one of the members here, and several other people, and have came up with something that I think will work. I added some Signal Boosters, 2 of them with a scan res script. This lowers my scan resolution down a lot, helping me to target much quicker. Also, I put on two tracking enhancers. The range is 100km to 130km, making it to where I can't be warped to. As I understand it, anything over 150km can be warped to. So in this range they wont be able to warp to me. Aligning properly, the MWJ, this should be enough to keep me away from anyway if the time comes to gtfo. I'll be testing it in duels with some people I know to see how this works outside of theory and in application. Will let you all know!

All I can do is try :). I have seen this done, so being told that "it doesn't work", that is going to work with me. I've seen recent videos that this does work. We shall see. If it doesn't then I'll go for something else.

I surely will. I don't want to come off as hard headed, and if I hadn't seen this done I wouldn't even be debating about it. I've done the research on this pretty heavily, so I know it's possible. I also know the risks, that you can be warped to, scanned out, etc. I apologize if I come off as hard headed or unwilling to accept help; I'm not trying to come off like that what so ever. I'll post the results and keep anyone who is interested informed.
