Capsuleer Day Clash - EDENCOM Production Facility

Well, I’m just starting to branch out into other races’ ships and weapons, but at the moment can only fly Minmatar ships comfortably (T2 projectiles specialization at 4 for both arty and AC, but that’s about it weapons wise). Would this tornado fit that I cobbled together with what’s laying around my hangers work/survive? (not looking for optimal clear time or anything like that. I know it’s pretty much a pipe dream )

No. Will try to get back to you. But I wanted to say no before you took it into a site.

Takes 14-15 mins (highsec sites). The fit is for alphas or people who don’t want to spend 100m+ on a ship. There are more blingy/faster fits available I’m sure.

Okay, the tornado doesn’t look like a good ship for this event. The rats are all cruiser sized and below, so the large guns will have greater difficulty tracking the targets. And while it can technically get enough tank, I’m not sure if it has enough tank for the speed in which you’ll be able to clear rats from the field.

If I could only fly minmatar, I would probably try this cyclone fit. Note that I do not know if the nosferatu’s will work on triglavian rats, but they won’t be needed if you have good damage and cap skills. With great skills, you should have no problems getting the starving rats off of the field before you get capped out. With less than great skills… well… you might want to pray that the nosferatus work on triglavians. By the way, I think they will work, but I have not found a definitive answer on the subject. So, I don’t know. Anyway, this fit has a healthy amount of repping power (around 340 EHP/s against trigs), and is normally cap stable, but you will also face a healthy amount off neut pressure. So definitely try to clear the starving rats first, and you might as well see if the nos’s work. If they do, then the fit will become a lot safer.

And if you can’t use missiles, you might want to look into a dual armor rep hurricane.

And if anyone has a definitive answer on whether or not nosferatus work on trigs, please let me know.

Alright, I got to run.

Alright thanks. I was confused as I had about double your tank and am cutting it close. But I’m in null - sites are harder, it seems…

They don’t, I tried that yesterday.

I was super excited because I thought I had pretty decent HAM skills, turns out all I had were regular heavies D: (Side note, why kinetic missiles and not thermal or explosives missiles?)

But here’s a dual rep armor 'cane that I came up with before I got distracted by the 'nado. (Not sure on the prop option, I’ve mainly flown canes with AB when running L3 when I first started playing)
Does it stand a chance of surviving/finishing the site?

I use following fit with great success. Just pay attention to cap boost cycles and you are good. I had this ship in hangar already so it is not optimized ( see rigs ). Rats are highly agressive against drones so dont bother to use t2 or faction drones, all will be dead in no time. Instead just keep drones at bay and use only when necessary ( against starving and/or anchoring rats).
As for the site info, loots are mediocre (10-20 mil. incl salvage), sometimes a skin or booster but not worth mentioning.
Also its pretty boring fun wise, enter the site kill the rats for 10-15 mins and done. For comparison previous gurista hunt event had much mur fun and isk :wink:

I started with an older fit and modified it. Yeah, you’d want to use thermal.

Anyway, check out this Hurricane fit. You will lose a lot of damage, but you’ll get much better cap stability and a little more tank. And, that cap stability is definitely needed. Anyway, the prop mod isn’t needed in these sites. Just post up on your MTU and let the rats come to you. Also, it looks like 1 web and 1 tracking computer is your best bet for damage application. Oh, and I did put a little bling on it, because you had some on your last fit, so I figured you didn’t mind. It still comes in cheaper than your fit though (Pyfa says it costs around 191mil).

Oh, and you have room for an armor command burst if you can use it. You don’t need it, but if you’re an omega, you can quickly train fro a T1 Armor command burst (20 minutes) and give yourself a little bit more breathing room when it comes to your tank.

Thanks for the write up! I wasn’t sure what I was up against my first time in, and lost a ship in the process… but I found something cheap (I like doing things on the cheap if I can!) that works solo. Here’s my Gnosis fit. DPS could be better, so running the sites alone is time consuming. I run away from the gate, then drop the MTU and orbit. The last wave got me, the Voivode Jarognik Rodiva was repping the Vedmak about as fast as I could hit it, and I didn’t catch that they switched to my drones in time. They killed the drones then switched back to me, and eventually the neuting from the Vedmak and the Kikimora on site chewed up the cap and stopped the repper. Since then, I kill the Rodiva first any time it appears, then anything starving, then the rest. I’ve done 9 sites now, 5 solo, and the fit works fine. Just recall the drones when they get aggro, then relaunch.

Did a little pyfa fitting on Tornado, maybe this fit might work:

This Drake fit works pretty well for me. Just came out of my first event site alive. They neutralized all my cap and the last wave got me on 25 % Shield. I have round about 400 Ehp/s tank on a (15%,45%,15%,25%) damage profile. Even without T2 Missile skills i got 400 dps out of this fit.
Got 14 Million isk of items without salvage from there. The fit is relatively cheap with 81 Million isk.

Why not use HAM’s? They seem to fit when I did a test fit and give 100 dps more. Of course the range goes down from 47 to 17. But don’t all the rats close in anyway?

Heavy Assault Missiles work well. They all come closer than 10km and throw all that funny e-war on you.

I ran it in a t2 fit myrmidon and it was very uneventful.

I pulsed my second medium rep maybe a minute, but could probably have done fine switching it out for a dda.

I was all paranoid after reading this thread, but all I did was orbit mtu and Target drones. Very easy. I did splurge For tech 2 rigs because it made me happy, but would work fine tech 1.

Here is my likely overtanked fit:

Still squeezes about 520 dps with my skills. Granted I fly it with near perfect 5s.

is it still solo play when you multibox instead of working with others though? lol

Intentionally skipping my question does not make it go away, but in all fairness do I admit that it would have derailed the thread considerably so I can at least understand why you did so. I can see why you’re doing it, but I disagree with enabling people who were not meant to figure things like these out on their own despite them being able to do so. At least in general.

Me and my friend were running two sites in hurricanes. My friend fit autocannons, two armor reppers and drones. I fit 650 artillery a mwd, nanos and a single invul. I had to warp out once in the first site, but not in the second site. I’ve learned that I shouldn’t distance myself too far away from him and that using drones would have helped getting out of my situation quicker. I’ve also remembered to properly prioritize targets.

No, it was not a tracking problem related to me using artillery. It was me running out of cap as I was fleeing from them and being too slow, me not using drone and me not prioritizing targets properly. One could add “me moving too far away from him”, but being in close proximity wouldn’t have been necessary if I had done everything right.

I found it odd that I was able to survive with nothing but an invul, but - with that being said - I also had to help my friend removing incoming dps from his hurricane. He was a sitting duck. I want to ask him to downgrade to a single invul and cap chaining, so we can try being sitting ducks together and seeing what happens.

I believe the AC and Artillery combo will work out really, really well.

I think precision HM would be better than faction HAM.

Just got wrecked in a low sec site. I did about 6 of them yesterday without too much of a problem. Wanting to improve my twin boxing and to be a little safer, I set up an alt with shield command boosts in a Myrmidon. The first wave melted my 400m Drake in less than a minute. That’s with a type C rep, overheated, with shield command boost and I downed a hard shell ll. Was no where near tanking the damage.

So, either I was very lucky with my first 5 sites or they have tweaked them. A lot.

Bunny happy not!

Be careful out there.
