Fitting Generator for NewBros

what exactly do you mean by complex fit?

i am not sure, what makes a player understand ship fitting.

no need to talk about blaster rifters or other abominations by newbros.
but i have seen many fits by experienced players, that could have been made better, with less ISK.

when i started the game, i would ask for fits in helpchannels, like most newbros. but i came to the conclusion, that a lot of players don’t have a good idea about what makes a good fitting, even after years of playing. i mean, if you throw enough SP and ISK against a task, it will somehow work anyways.

but i do think, for almost every task there is a Tech2 Fitting that can do it. ALMOST every task.
there are some things, that need a bit of bling. or even a bit more.

what i am trying to say is, newbros need good reference, to learn what makes a good fit. if you get handed shitfits by your corpmates from day one, as example, and you deem them good fits. well, you will most likely build shitfits yourself and think you got it

The sort of fits people arrive at only when they understand all the options available and how they inter-relate.

A “good fit” has very little to do with the modules being T2 or not, or worse or better. An actual good fit is about understanding the use, situation, player capabilities and preferences and how different modules affect actual gameplay, not just numbers. It’s therefore no use to create some library of “good fits” unless you very specifically specify the use and situation for each and every one of them.

Case in point being solo fits for for FW players, there’s no point giving a newbie a super amazing fit for a ship that requires a very active play style with lots of buttons to press at the exact correct time and relies on (pre)kiting. It doesn’t matter how good that fit works in theory or in the hands of an experienced pvper, a newbie or someone new to PVP isn’t going to make that work.

Then there’s issues with just basic understanding of what’s going on. Like people talking about a cloak/MWD fit how the mwd blooms their sig and how that’s a problem. Not realising that they’re going to be cloaked while running the MWD cycle, so it doesn’t fcking matter.

The REAL problem isn’t new players not knowing stuff, that’s just fair and understandable. The problem is older lazy players still being clueless while pretending to know things and feeding newbies nonsense, and not just on fits. The inevitable guy in the corp who’s been playing for 15 years (mining) who takes control of every conversation on voice (probably doing the “I’ve been a WOW dev for 7 years dontyouknow”) and creates this aura of knowledge while actually being dumb AF, and he can’t stop giving “advice”… on anything.

That you won’t like the result?

I am just guessing of course, I should have added “I don’t think you will like”. The reason is because you are coming in with the “AI” idea, and the results are very different - at least the 2 I can think of. Nope not telling you need to try make the AI to understand the one.
