Ships & Modules

wondering if its possible to fit a max passive shield tank fit on a rattlesnakex10 and do incursions like that

i guess 50 t2 drones dont do damage with a 50% ship bonus to damage

I get the feeling the tank would melt. Big fat sig targets for the torps.

If not .. then yeah the APPLIED dps would suck. There is a big difference between dps and effective dps.

Go and try ... only way to be sure ! ... Make sure to fraps with 720p at minimum and have the voice channel there too .. I want to hear the screams from the burning ships.

Need 5 people on grind to get the max payout, up to 10. IIRC, you get 0 if you did somehow solo it.

Possible? ... I suppose so, though you'd need to put some shield transfers on the things and spider tank them, because I'm pretty sure a Rattler can't be reasonably fit to tank them completely. At all worthwhile? Not a chance.

I know that two logi boats and all ships having 70%+ shield resists is considered 'safe' (assuming the Logis don't lag out or anything).

*pulls out calculator*
~76 shield/second/RR
*6 (from my experience, I think 6 RRs was enough for ships to tank ok with 70% resists)
460 shield/second transfered
/0.3 (with 70% shield resists, bare minimum)
~1533 DPS tanked
*1.3 (fudge factor, error, the station-sized sig of a Rattler, and the fact that most people have better than 70% resists)
~2k DPS

So, I think 2k-ish DPS tank should do it.

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any losses based on my numbers. They're tossed together from module stats and memory, I'm not promising it'll work out well at all (I'd probably go for more like 2.5k DPS tank if I were you, if not 3k).

Edit: here's a crap-tastic fit which does have the tank numbers I suggested (with 5 others using their RR on you)

Garde II x5

With 5x RR on you and a cap chain going, it's cap stable at 40% and has 2.5k DPS tank (with all 5s) and does a whopping 675 DPS. Have fun micromanaging scooping 10x sets of Sentries when the incursion rats agro on them though.

In short, life will suck majorly if you try and do this, you're better off running 10x lvl 4 missions at the same time, and will make better ISK/h doing that too.

Reading comprehension isn't the first thing to return to someone first thing in the morning.

you realize whoever did it would own all 10 accounts? your math of 20mill an hour makes no sense.
contesting is not going to happen on every single site that pops up. but like i said even if **** like that happens and you end up having an average site at 30minutes is 200mill an hour. doubt it would be that high.
best case scenario would be 1 bill isk an hour though. that would be fun.

also trading 30% of your fleet from logi to more dps would more even out the lower general dps of drone boats than turret boats.

Incoming DPS near the end of an OTA is somewhere around 6000 if you just go DDD. Around 3500 if you go AAD AAD D.

Highest dps in an NCO is somewhere around 2500 during the wave with the Sansha's Nation Commander, and also when you get the double spawn after killing the first niarja. There's actually a bit more, coming from the eysturs, but they fail at hitting stationary targets.

Highest dps in an NMC is about 1500, during the initial wave.

Smart bombs wouldn't work....the frigs orbit at 12km mostly
