Rate my Praxis fit?

[Khasn]

So I’m looking for a good Praxis fit to run C3 combat sites and Lowsec combat sites.

I’ve come up with the following fit since it has a MJD and an afterburner to help quickly get out of dodge if something pops up on d-scan.

I know that these railguns are too poor in tracking but I plan on kiting from like 100km to compensate ¿or would it be better if I switched to lighter railguns?

I’ve tried with a shield-tanked RHML one but that one is just too immobile and short ranged for me to feel comfortable in (I’ve already lost a few).

I could maybe also try with large projectile turrets (since I’m mostly in Amarr space) but I don’t have the skills for those yet.

What do you think or what would you recommend? Anything is much appreciated.

It’s awkward trying to force an active armor tank on a Praxis. You don’t have any hull bonus to armor reps, and you don’t really have the low slots to spare. Praxis wants to fit DPS modules, co-processors, and cap modules in its low slots to take advantage of its strengths and fix its weaknesses. An active armor tank would require two Large Armor Repairers, a Damage Control, and at least two Multispectrum Energized Membranes, which means you can’t fit all the other things a Praxis really needs to fit in its low slots.

Rails can work on a Praxis if the damage type is effective against NPCs in your space, but shooting from long range is not really going to save you against a gank in a C3 wormhole. It might save you in low sec or null sec where you can see a cloaky in local, but the extra range doesn’t actually keep you that much safer in a wormhole environment. You’d have to actually roll the connections to make a safe farm hole.

Also, I would throw out Cruise Missiles as a possible replacement for RHMLs if you just want more range. Here’s a fit I stole:

It’s a battleship with 7 low slots. What exactly do you think constitutes slots to spare in any armor tank, given the maximum you could ever have is 8?

[Randy_Rachel_Gallavant]

Go ahead and show us your active armor tanked Praxis if you’d like. I just find that I run out of slots to actually fit DPS mods, especially if the fit needs a Co-Processor. If you have a good way to get around that problem, then I would be interested in seeing it.

[Moko_Musana]

Based on your fit. In my opinion, the fit has too little damage application, so I added a TP.

I don’t use Battleships, no idea how to fit them
Maybe swap a repair for an ancil one if the 750ehp tank of the shield version really is needed.
