Actually Usable Fits With Oversized Weapons

Every once in awhile I like to theory craft various fits using oversized weapons just for the lolz. Almost always the fits have to sacrifice everything to fit the weapons and end up with no tank, awful DPS, and bad application. Most hulls using oversized weapons waste their bonuses as well.

It occurred to me that rapid launchers use missiles of a lower class and therefor could actually take advantage of hull bonuses even when oversized. I set out to create an oversized fit that while still pretty dumb, is actually usable in PVE combat if someone really wanted to meme around.

I present the rapid heavy Gnosis.

Stupidly expensive and admittedly only uses 3 rapid heavy launchers but still does considerably more missile DPS than a regular heavy missile fit.

EDIT:
I nearly forgot, the above fit requires all 4 genolution implants.

If anyone else has any usable oversized fits, feel free to share them in this thread.

nice find!

If you consider it oversize: There is an Ikitursa fit for the Abyss that uses an L-Smartbomb on a Cruiser Hull to enable the ship to run T6-Dark Filaments. Usually no turret ship can do that because of the huge range-penalty on turrets, but the Ikitursa with hits bonuses and the trig-gun-damage is able to handle single-big-HP-targets pretty well. It only has problems in rooms with many many medium and small size targets because of the long spool-up times. However the L-Smartbomb completely covers this downside. I tested it on Sisi and it actually can do pretty much all T6 Dark rooms.

Also: L-Neut Curse (lowsec/highsec only) uses a Heavy Neut on Targets up to 72+24km. Some Small Neuts only for defensive purposes to drain tacklers quickly. Can be used without implants, in this case the Damage Control must be switched out for another Reactor Control. It’s pretty deadly, especially in combination with a long-range fleet of T3-BCs and a Longpoint Lachesis.
