You should be able to see the border when you come close. It’s like a laser net
Electrical filament tier 5 Phantasm
!st room frig swarm as expected easy for a phantasm
2nd room frig swarm again no issues here
3rd drone single drifter bs I proceeded to close in to conflag and deliver damage site was done with time available to loot
I decided to try the vigilant for it’s 90% web on a t5 with thermal hole. I packed a painter, web and 200mm railguns. I could not hit those small drones at all. I thought the 90% web was automatic game over. I guess I’m going to have to move to the better tracking blasters. Sad i could not get the rails to work.
Would you mind sharing what fit you use for the phantasm? I hadn’t thought to test one due to the lack of ADCU panic button and low resist profile.
By the way really great testing you’ve been doing. Thanks for sharing it. Really helpful to see other strategies. Cudos!
It’s really cheesy
I’ll post it tomorrow since at work and don’t have it saved on phone
Apart from my only 1 phantasm post i had 3 more sites done 2 had triglavian spawns and went okish
Electrics are the easiest, aren’t they? Not because of rats, but because of the cap buff.
they certainly allow less gimped fits that the cap stability requirement necessitates.
Each filament types has its pro’s and cons though. The real losers however are the exotic filament with sig res buff (which is a bit wasted as cruisers don’t have too poor locking times) and dark matter filaments which create broken situations with tiny drones speed tanking all damage and applying none. (hope these get some attention before release)
Alright that phantasm:
Highs-3xheavy pulse laser2s scorch,navy multi,navy standard,conflag
Mids-10mn ab,med cap injector,tracking computer,3tracking disruptor2s
Low-med armor rep2,RAH,DCU,2xheatsink
Rigs:2xaux nano pump1. 1xnano accelerator
Note I made this more as a gimmick I take no responsibility for any injuries you may suffer flying this…
Speaking of rails tried a rail deimos once it completed the site but it was so annoying to fly and use application was awful even with tracking comp
3 Tacking disruption 2’s? I’m assuming the aim Of this fit is to sig/speed tank with the td’s as a hard counter to triglavian damage ramping?
Armour phantasm is an interesting option. It’s good how this pve content is generating novel fitting approaches!
Yup that’s what it does but I did end up in a bit of structure during 1 triglavian fight so don’t bet on this making you bulletproof you can still die easily
Lasers track trig cruisers very well too so the fight shifts in your favour the more vedmaks you destroy
Also electric filaments are easier I gues but I never bet on cap stable builds for this because of neuts so I always have an injector
I totally get that. I certainly wouldn’t rely upon it.
In terms of laser tracking, I’m surprised they track so well given low base weapon tracking - I assume it is solely the phantasm that benefits from its racial tracking bonus?
I have tested a standard shield phantasm in a tier 4 and it certainly doesn’t hold up.
Its tracking even with that comp isn’t great on drone swarms but cruisers is alright
Ahh ok. So fairly flawed given the random rat compliment of the rooms!
Any thoughts on any other ships with potential inside tier5 to test except gila zealot ishtar phantasm vagabond sacrilege?
On all of these fits, MWD for prop mod?
No almost all afterburner fit an argument can be made for each type of prop mode since each has it’s merits but since the triglavians were added their scram frigs going 3k/s will catch up so best to have that lesser ab speed which can’t be shut down because it helps in brawls with the rats
Ships like vaga or phantasm go quite fast on afterburner too

The drone swarms do not aggress, move or do anything as from the patch 1h ago ^^
Probably changing their behaviour or stats
Also seeing some stats for the new damaged triglavian battleships 60ish km optimals 400m/s about 600 dmg/5sec before spooling neut variant has 30km neut with 20 falloff on top 600 neut amount all have 500ish remote repair a logi variant has 1k they all start 0 armor I gues web variant 15km web their armor is about 13k mediocre resists
Can’t figure out smartbomb dmg tho on the smartbomb variant
My best bet is they’ll be atleast2 1 logi 1 ewar you got a kill the logi so you can break the reps

running 9 pockets, the droprate for multiplasmids seems to be around 15% now - can anyone confirm? Might be a bit low
