Hi everyone,
I’ve been looking at Legion fittings and as a noob in PVP AND PVE content (I’ve been doing market trading and Solo exploration on abandoned pirate sites for a long time) I had a lot of questions regarding it.
1: What kind of sites an almost maxed out Legion could run?
Abyssal T5? WH C3? C4??
2: Why it seems that all HAM/Drone fittings are better in terms of dps and ehp than Energy Turrets fittings? (it might not be the case but from what I’ve seen it looks like it) Whats the main difference about them?
3: Why I see 90% of Energy Turret fittings using Beam and not Pulse?
4: Finally. If I plan to play solo PVE activities (WHs mainly), Is it worth training for a Legion or I should be training for another ship?
edit: 5: From what I see, Tengu looks like an all around better ship… What are the benefits and roles of a Legion compared to a Tengu?
1: C3 sites sure, T3C cant run abyss
2: not always the case, pulse laser legion can get great dps
3: pulse lasers have low range compared to beams
4: legion is a solid ship but generally better for PvP then PvE
5: Tengu is a good ship for PvE and generally better then the legion for it. Legion again has several uses in PvP.
You can run WH sites (C3 or lower) in a legion without issue, here’s a fit I was using:
Legion WHs
[Legion, WH PvE]
True Sansha Heat Sink

Corelum C-Type Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane

Damage Control II
Corelum C-Type Medium Armor Repairer
Republic Fleet Large Cap Battery
Federation Navy 10MN Afterburner
Tracking Computer II
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Conflagration M
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Conflagration M
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Conflagration M
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Conflagration M
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Conflagration M
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Conflagration M
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher, Sisters Core Scanner Probe
Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump I
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Medium Energy Collision Accelerator I
Mobile Depot x1
Mobile Tractor Unit x1
Legion Propulsion - Interdiction Nullifier x1
Start out with the interdiction nullifier fit, when you find a system/site you want to run, drop mobile depot and refit and off you go. As mentioned previously lower size of ammo makes it great for ‘long haul’ wh diving.
I can’t advise starting out in PvP with a solo legion, it is a great way to die in a Legion, and lose skill points along with the ship.
Also if you haven’t already, take a look at the Loki, these days it will do anything a Tengu will do, some say better.
Well I’m still waiting for the good folk of Sanshas Nation to come out with a spikey T3, then it is all I would recommend, til then though, HAMs work on the Legion, Tengu and Loki, so it’d be poor form to not mention them all when discussing possibilities.
Legion is the only ship, that can travel cloaky and nulified and carry almost 4k m3 . Thats the only good thing about the ship. Tengu is better in PvE, Loki - in PVP. Try to create non-multibilion fit for PvP Legion, that can web over 30 km, give almost 900 DPS out and tank 1700 DPS at the same time. Cap stable without any cap boosters.
I actually thought you meant a fit that does not cost multiple billions… guess not hey (even when discounting the 60ish mil of loot in the cargo)… but not counting the genolution implants you need to get it all to fit
You make my RP hurt.
