I have seen a few fits, mainly missile fits like the drake, rattlesnake praxis etc but im not trained into missiles and it will be a while before i am… I am trained into gallente stuff (drones, railguns, blasters) blasters being my highest trained followed by drones. looking for a fit that can help me clear C3 combat sites with relative ease.
My budget is around 700m for now but I’m willing to upgrade modules to faction ones once i get a hang of the fit.
And yes i understand missies are used because rats in J-space neut you but it will be over 3 months before i train into it so rather than sitting around i want to try something else out that might work…
Passive shield Gilas and Rattles can solo C3 sites. It takes a while tho and the rattle will blow your proposed budget.
You can get away with T1 rapid light missiles in a Gila. That’s only to deal with frigates. Your drones will munch the heavier stuff.
I suppose you could shanghai a Myrmidon into the role either active armour with a cap injector or two, or possibly even passive shield fit. Be prepared to lose a few while tinkering.
Had a look at the gila fit on the website you linked, is there a way to make it work without having to refit? also its very vague on when how and why i should refit…
if you need more tank, swap in another shield power relay (if your shield level drops below 30% is a rough guide).
if you’ve culled the incoming dps down to a manageable level, swap in some extra drone damage amplifiers.
You could go full shield power relays and not refit at all, but you’ll have to accept significantly slower clearing times.
Actually, I’d suggest starting with full shield power relays the first time you try this.
Deimos, Ishtar, Eos, Astarte, Proteus can all run C3 Sites solo with Drones and Hybrids. (The anomalies, NOT the relic/data ones!)
Budget of 700m will be tough tho if you want some clearing speed…
And after all, your biggest problem won’t be NPCs. Lowclass JSpace is full of PvP hunters just waiting to catch some solo guy in a site. You will probably lose your ~1B farming ship before it has completed the ~30 sites to even pay for itself. Unless you roll yourself in everytime before farming, which makes the whole thing quite ineffective time-wise…
