Hi. After a short break from Eve I am coming back and trying some C2 WH action and I am looking for some ship advice.

As I am not rich and I know I will get ganked, I am looking to start with tech 1 ships. The answer always used to be drake, which I would prefer to avoid (boring) but if it is stand out faster then so be it. I have tried an AC/mwd hurricane which is OK but you have to get close to do decent dps so a lot of time is travelling.

Most of the sleepers in these sites seem to sit at 20-30k so I need effective dps at that range.

I am toying with the idea of a Typhoon with med sized weapons (med arty or best missiles(?)) which has the benefit of letting you fit lots of other stuff - a nos and a neut for cap and/or self defence, sentries (?), ecm drones for self defence. Obviously lows and rigs are tank / gank, mids AB, cap booster (not an issue restocking even though it is WH), TP?

Any thoughts appreciated except "Tengu".

Thanks

I don't know what would precisely rock your boat, but I'd avoid using a battleship in a C2 solo because they're usually more trouble then they are worth, not only can their mass be problematic if you're planning on raiding neighbouring C2s as well, but your final effective dps will be somewhat penalized by the size of the sleeper drones in C2 sites.

Did you consider a Cane or a Cyclone, but fit with 650mm arties, if range is your main issue at the moment?

Mass in and out isn't really an issue for me - it would just live there. Arties I have thought about on the cane but dps isn't great.
I was trying to address the BS effective dps issue by using smaller guns/missiles. Of course this means that nothing is bonussed :( Not sure how good sentries are at hitting sleepers?

Should have said that skills are good across the board so anything goes.

I guess the Logical choice here is BC Class ships. I Think a Harbinger would do good here, It can shoot way past 30km in optimal and has a nice tank to boot. It is also nice and cheap so getting ganked isnt a problem. You can also take a look at the new Tier 3 BC's, The Oracle or the Tornado would annihilate C2 sleepers but im not 100% sure on their tank, i have never flowen one. Sad

Passive shield tanks are king at soloing these, Drake, Cane or Myrmidon with arty.

So BC it is? No love for a Typhoon?

Thanks for the inputs. Smile
