Meds: it depends. You'll never see augoror with a shield extender.
Lows: it depends. Say NO! for plates on scythes

So, here is a basic concept PvE Exequror; it has decent remote reps, as well as self-reps for when aggro shifts. Cap stable at 54%, though depending on your skills, that may not be the case.

Also I would like to get tips how to fly these on gangs and fleets?

How to setup your over

Augoror

Scythe

Exequror

General fitting advice:

1. Remote reps, remote cap transfers

2. AB or MWD or both: AB to sig tank, MWD for mobility

3. ECCM because you'll get jammed

4. Optional: Sensor Booster because you'll get damped and, if not, it's nice to switch to scan res script and lock up damsels in distress faster

5. Capacitor mods/rigs (remember there are also rigs that reduce cap required for reps)

6. All other free module and rig slots for tank


The main fitting compromise will be between cap and tank, especially for Exeqs and Scythes. Don't obsess about being cap stable (it's hard without lvl 5 cruiser, cap and rep skills), having a couple of minutes of cap (on EFT) with MWD off is usually ok (you won't be repping 100% of the time, you can pulse reppers a bit - not ideal but better than having a too squishy tank).


You should set up a watchlist with the FC, your logi buddies and all squishy stuff (e.g. E-WAR).

Obviously have fleet broadcasts open. Overview best to show only friendlies.

UI tip: you can give any command from watchlist (right-click or radial menu), lock, approach, orbit, etc. From fleet broadcast you can only target IIRC, but it's very useful.

As soon as you land on grid, lock-up FC and all logi buddies, but leave 2-3 targeting 'slots' free for the guys that will broadcast.

Manage your locked targets, free up space by unlocking people that don't seem to be in danger anymore.

Click on mods (or F1, F2, etc) to activate reps on selected dude, click on the little mod icons under the dude you're repping to turn off that specific repper if you need to rep someone else.


Have fun!


EDIT: also, overheat reppers at the start of a challenging fight. That's when the bad guys will have the most dps (also, your cap will be at max)

EDIT2: once you're confident about your logi job, carry wh*re drones to get on killmails, if you want. Just please do your logi job first! :) In a tough fight, things can get kind of hectic (that's why logi is fun), you really shouldn't let your mates down or -worse - get locked targets mixed up and rep the bad guys while unleashing your drones on the good guys!

For pve. You can pretty safely use deadspace medium remote reps. Just don't overdo it.

You greatly misunderstand the necessity to get the max out of a ship. While it might seem smart to only put guns in there and a single RR so you can say *I'm logi*, it doesn't work that way: When two fleets collide, more often than not they'll scout each other beforehand, and each ship they see they will expect to be fitted properly. That means in a T1 cruiser gang without links, they'll expect around 300dps+ tanked on the ship with the weakest resist per logi, and will only engage if they're confident they can do something against that comp. If you now go out and field 5 heavy missile caracals and 4 scythes with guns and a repairer, you'll either get no fight or ou'll get absolutely steamrolled: You used ships in a dumb way leaving your actual performance miles below the expected perormance. 5 rapid light caracals translate to 1.5k+ dps incoming for the observer, but your heavy missile caracals can only deliver 800 or less. The same with logi, people expect logi to put out that many reps, and logi with only one RR mod won't do squat.

Buffer/EHP defines one thing: How big can the enemy fleet be before I die without even catching reps. That aside, remote repair effectiveness is only affted by your resists and your sigradius/speed. A Dramiel being repped by one small RR can survive a heavy missile drakefleet for ages because the damagemitigation is so absurd, it breaks the incoming damage down to a few percent of the raw amount, a drake shot by that drakefleet though will take full damage and require incredibly much more effort to keep alive.

Since most fights below *med-large scale* (=starts at around 20 people) tend to create a stalemate initially with reps holding on both sides, the damage is often put to the logistics and ewar wings of the hostile fleet. Logically, those try to evade as much damage as possible, 9/10 cases by being out of range.

*After-combat-logi* is called station repair service.
