Nighthawk pilots. I would like your advice on fitting to run level 4 missions. I would like to know weather you run passive or active. I am currently running passive.
Highslots - all heavy missiles.
Medium - MWD, Adaptive shield hardener, x3 Large extenders.
Low - DCU, x4 Ballistic control systems
Rigs are Rate of fire.
Implants all missile based.
All T2 .
Can anyone recommend some fits.
Here are a couple different ways of fitting out the Nighthawk. Fair warning, the active fit is only worth pursuing if you are willing to bling the rep. Because a T2 Medium rep is actually slightly less effective than the passive build. Meanwhile depending on how much you bling the active fit with Pithum medium reps you can get anywhere from ~850-1150 EHP/s in tank recovery to the passive fits ~480 EHP/s.
That said, the passive fit I’m including has the benefit of a MJD to get out of being the center of attention which can let the passive recovery work its magic while you re-acquire targets as they re-enter your effective range.
Don’t ever put the auto-targeting to active, those modules are included for the +2 or +3 max target locks that come with being merely equipped to the ship. Beyond that the Guidance Enhancer alongside the Rigor rigs means you can get down to 53m explosion radius with precision missiles. Basically anything bigger than a frigate you’ll have close to full application against. And even with Rage ammo you have ~103m instead of ~136m. Making elite cruisers less of a pain in the rear to apply to effectively.
The command bursts make each fit more efficient at its tanking strategy. You can do without, but realize that you are giving up 12-20% of your potential tank if you do. The passive tank especially gets massive benefits from the extra max shields from the bursts. I’m also running off the assumption you are planning to use it against rats doing mostly Thermal or Kinetic damage.
