Unfortunately it only comes in a safety razor format, so there isn’t much I can do with it, unless you need your dome smoothed, and it looks like you’ve got that covered already. ---

Outstanding writing! Have you considered writing comedy sketches? You are a natural. ---

I usually go with just one rep, and a reactive armor hardener, but I pop a standard exile that is a 20% rep increase. Then I have two spare lows wich go for drone damage amplifiers, boosting my damage to 130. And that gives me about 200hp/sec rep, well above the damage of that Heron, I think that you just ran out of cap and forgot to cycle the cap booster, I see no other explanation. ---

Interesting. Have you had a lot of luck with that setup. I am new so that initial fear tells me to stack defensive stuff as I learn but do you think that additional dps is more beneficial? ---

Tank lets you survive, but damage wins fights. It’s _critical_. You should be rocking at _least_ one damage mod on _any_ ship, and on bigger ones, 2-3. Sometimes you can get away with a single damage mod and a single T2 damage rig, which works too. ---

Hey man I started out as you did and lost ships to simple stuff like this. You mentioned you wanted to find a good Corp to get better at pvp/exploration and if you’re into wormhole space at all feel free to message me in game to talk about joining the Corp I’m in. They took me in when I was brand new and gave me a ton of advice on how to explore safely, win fights, fit my ships well and more. Again, really cool to see you on the forums trying to get better! ---

> [@Path\_Starbreaker](#): > > but do you think that additional dps is more beneficial? DPS is in itself a form of tank, it allows you to reduce incoming damage by exploding the ships applying it. TL;DR Gank is tank. ---
