Ships & Modules

I found an interesting new mission agent. I face mostly Sansha or blood raiders. I can fly most t2 cruisers and below, t1 BS and bc. Any suggestions? Or should I just grab a raven or drake and gi with what I know?

Yeah if you have the dough Nightmare, rapes Sansha/Blood, barely even turn my shield booster on. If you want to go cheaper I suggest Abaddon, you need good skills and perfect cap skills to fly it well, but it's the next best thing besides the Paladin.

Drake maybe, but wayy to slow for me. Raven can do it but it'll be hard, and things like WC will get very dicey, or you'll have to fit a massive tank and lose alot of dps.

I wouldn't go with the Abaddon - if you have good skills. I flew this for a long time before I finally got into a Nightmare:

It does 600 DPS out to 80km. You'll be able to kill everything before it gets close enough to hurt you. There's a few missions that you'll need to be careful about because a lot of stuff starts in closer, but with IN Multifreqs you'll be doing 850 DPS out to 23km. Stuff will melt.

You'll be able to finish many missions without having to turn on your armor repper at all. If you want to, consider a cap booster instead of the cap rechargers / CCCs (though you may have to use cheap factions armor hardeners to save CPU). You don't need the IN EANM, I just had it laying around and it does the job.

The problem with the Abaddon is that it doesn't have an optimal range bonus like the Apoc, so you spend time waiting, traveling, loading longer range / lower DPS crystals, etc. You can use beams, sure, but the DPS will be sub par. Tanking doesn't finish missions - lots of pew pew does.

If you can't use T2 large guns or your gunnery skills in general are poo, stick with the Raven.

any bs will do fine.
