Alphas can not perma-run 2 Adaptive Invuls with the afterburner due to limited cap regen.
Hence the name âNot quite a Drakeâ 
Add 3% implants for shield capacity and shield regen fill rest of hardwiring slots with whatever you wish.
that is a good reason to fit a drone link augmentor, 40km is a pretty annoying range for most lv4s when your main weapon system is drones. The alternate would be to fit a drone control range rig, but that will also eat a bunch of CPU so Iâm not sure itâs a better option, also hurts the tank.
yikes! itâs easy to forget how bad alpha cap skills are when you donât play on one much
I prefer to play it safe.
Maybe my fitting is influenced from my disabilities which I discussed elsewhere too much to be truly generic
Iâd run one of the new Faction hybrid ballistic/drone damage modules instead of the third T2 drone damage. The âAâ version is cheap @6m ISK and the âXâ version is quickly dropping below 80m ISK.
Your fit would also benefit from a drone nav module to boost drone speed.

Whatâs the proper name of that? Never heard of such a module
That would nerf the tank. Iâm still the little coward to do that
Never mind!
Youâre talking about the
- C3-A âHivaa Saitsuoâ Ballistic Control System
and the
- C3-A âHivaa Saitsuoâ Ballistic Control System
arenât you?
Iâm still using the drones only. Only very rarely frog survive long enough to get into the launchers range
C3-A âHivaa Saitsuoâ Ballistic Control System and C3-X âHivaa Saitsuoâ Ballistic Control System of course 
The C3-X does not fit without changing other modules or adding a fitting implant or two.
The C3-A would reduce the paper dps, the C3-X would add about 10 (Precision) or 30 (Fury) paper dps which would be wasted because the rats rarely get into the launchers range.
The C3-A oder C3-X are useful on Rattlesnakes where the launchers are not as secondary as on my Gila

Less tank, faster drones, less drone dos, more missile dps, more total dps at 25km.
Not my thing because I prefer to fight over distance, aka sniping, to cope with my disabilities.

Passive recharge from 191 to 263? I have nearly identical set up w/ only 91 hp/s. What am I doing wrong?
Those are pyfa/eft numbers. Use pyfa. It gives you the passive recharge based on effective hitpoints (including resists), you can also dial in different damage profiles. Itâs a really helpful piece of software especially when it comes to passive shield fits. The in-game fitting simulator leaves too much guesswork.
ahâŚok thanks. Figured something was whacky.
@ Felicitas_Minbar : Aloa !
Wondering, how long does it takes to your alpha clone to clear L4s ?
does she have max alpha skills ?
From your experience, what are the minimum skill requirements in order to fly this baby (the purger version) ?
@Jerome_Thallerent, Iâm sorry I missed your post. Was EVE-offline for health reasons.
The Gila is almost quite as fast clearing L4 missions as battleships. Especially missile battleships suffer a lot from missile flight time.
Being an alpha clone is much worse to mission time!
I canât tell about minimum skills requirements because all my chars prefer maxed out skills. So even alpha clones have maximum alpha skills because I trained all of them to maximum omega skills
So what was your final fit that you were using with success, can you post it?
This is my current fitting:

I have my own fit here.Is using a invul far better than full passive tank?
