Abyssal Pockets and the Ships to Run Them

PvE Gameplay Center PvE Ships & Modules

there’s also additional things to consider:

  1. both Sleeper and Rogue drones MWD to you (range changes is usually at the cruiser lvl but the frigates will surely get to you quickly)

  2. we dont know the speed at which Triglav ships move, taking in account Entropic Disintegrators are close range weapons (because all optimal no falloff thing) then they will probably also try to close fast into you

  3. Drifters, i dont know the range and accuracy of those fuckers but its probably OP

  4. certain Sleeper and Rogue drones shoot missiles and thus will always have a clear shot on you.

You can’t engage warp inside the Abyssal pockets.

CCP said we can’t warp in the pockets. Until they hit SISI and we can test them I’ll hold off on believing the npc’s won’t be able to ping around.

There’s only so much running you can do especially with the fear of leaving the 150km bubble and especially with a multitude of rats going full mwd at you kiting may work for some weaker pockets perhaps.

But then again we don’t know what CCP defines as level of hard pve for a solo player confined to a certain ship size it may be that my excitement over this being difficult is unfounded and all tiers could turn into a disappointing time sink than a test of abilities

I don’t think buffer amor is the way to go.

Its supposed to be combined with logi.

Well if its anywhere close to a 5/10 sentries would work fine. I don’t even use 150km of space for those. Really though it will depend on the frigate and crusier speeds. If frigates are fast enough to separate from cruisers then it should be fine. Most frigs go down to 2 salvos maybe 3 at range for elites. So kill frigs then reposition to the opposite side of the bubble…considering I have never seen any cruiser level sites or even BC level sites with speeds over 1000m/s my fit going 1800+m/s should easily be able to reposition on the rats just fine, even if it means I am using medium or lights to clear some stuff as I reposition. That’s just my take though…guess we will find out soon enough.

sorry for breaking the Zealot dream but, Abyssal space is solo content. solo as in only the person that used the filament can enter.

so no logi backup.

How are you going to get logi in a solo site?

Good question I’m going to figure that out now.

I may be wrong, but I don’t think hull or armor buffer tanks are going to cut it in these. I think you’re going to need some kind of active repair to survive.

I believe cap stable active tank is the way to go.

I’m also thinking 1-2 cap batteries if you can fit them.

pretty much yeah, and high resists (omniresists) since there will always be one resistance hole due to weather, if it was possible to run 4 hardeners at once then it would be easy but it would take a lot of cap to keep it along with the reps.
