Rate my Praxis fit?

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?

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.

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 :smiley:
Maybe swap a repair for an ancil one if the 750ehp tank of the shield version really is needed.
