Brutix ratting fitting

When I started out ratting in 0.0 I tried lots of ships and lots of fittings. Around that time I finished Medium Hybrids Tech 2 and gave it a go.

The Brutix delivers insane DPS but is really lacking in the range department. You live on your DPS and Micro Warp Drive since you will haveto close on the rats ASAP and settle in a tight orbit.

Drones will whipe out the small stuff and lets you concentrate on the bigger fish.

Everything can be exchanged to Tech 1 modules where needed.

My first Archon fitting

I ordered a carrier the other day. A game friend of ours build capitals and always offer competitive prices, this time it was an Archon Carrier that will be delivered within 20 days.

Now I have the delicate task of fitting my Carrier in the best way.

I’m thinking a standard tanked carrier, with some selfdefence and a good portion of drones. Nothing expensive, mostly T2 but T1 rigs because I’m a cheap bastard expecting to loose it.

Full selfsustained tank of almost 3000 DPS and about 700 DPS with fighters deployed.  I realise that I need to train Advaned Drone Interfacing to be able to use two Drone Control Units for the two extra fighters but that is already in the skill plan.

Any thoughts?

And also, does anyone insure their logistics capitals?

My missioning hyperion setup

I thought I’d post the setup I used before I lost it to being careless in a mission.

Note that I have maxed cap-skills and you might haveto exchange one of the Auxiliary Nano Pumps for another Capacitor Control Circuit.

In the bottom I have one True Sansha Large Armor Repairer, two ratspecific hardeners and three Magnetic Field Stabilizers. Exchanging one MFS for a Damage Control yields another 100 DPS tanked for 50 DPS or so delivered. The True Sansha repairer can be exchanged for a tech 2 variant of the same.

The medium powered slots are setup with a full rack of Cap Rechargers and the high power slots are filled with a mix of 425 mm and 350 mm Railguns.

I usually salvage with another ship, a destroyer fitted and rigged for it.

Harbinger pulse mission fitting

I’ve been toying with battlecruisers from time to time.

The Harbinger is something that I’ve heard about and it’s mostly good.

This is a setup that I’ve tried for lvl 3 missions.

Named pulses in the top, T2 Cap Rechargers and an T2 Afterburner in the midslots. The lowslots are occupied by a T2 MAR, T2 Damage Control, two T2 rat dependant armor hardeners and two T2 Heat Sinks.

In the drone bay I have hammerheads, but that of course depends on mission.

No rigs on this one but I can imagine you might want to use a mix of Capacitor Control Circuit rigs and Auxiliary Nano Pump rigs.

I will continue with my other favourite drone ship, the Domininx which actually ruined level four missions for me in EVE.

It got to he point where I can sit AFK through most missions just tanking damage and letting my drones sort all the rats.

Two T2 LAR in the lowslots, two hardeners of each damage type, depending on rats really and the suitcase of course.

In the midslots I have five cap rechargers, you can add an Afterburner but then two T2 LAR won’t permarun.

In the highslots I have just added what fits, Dual 250mm Railguns or 350mm Railguns and a Drone Link Augmentor.

The rigs are tree Capacitor Control Circuits.

In the drone bay I have thermal drones. Five T2 Ogres and a mix of smaller drones, maybe add sentries if you need. You will need smaller drones, especially to remove tackling rats.

I have been fiddling with a gank setup for mission running. It’s blasters, afterburners and drones on the menu.

There are two fittings which I’ve been thinking of and there are two setups I’ve been thinking of:

I’ll see what I do, I have a couple of megas lying around.

I have an alt going and I’ve skilled it towards the Caldari faction, running Crow Interceptors, Falcon Recons, Drake Battlecruisers and soon Raven Battleships.

Trying to maximize the speed of mission running and combining the drone bay of Nathan’s Dominix and the range of a Raven. I have a bit to go with the raven, it will be mostly T1-specced from start, but within a couple of weeks I think it will be a solid missionrunner.

The raven will be entirely passive and the Domi will have a small active tank with some buffer. Here are the two setups I’ve been toying with.

The Raven churns out energy and cruise missiles, relying on the buffer and the shield transport from the Domi.

The Dominix will provide the entire tank, which is really respectable considering. These values are set against Sansha and Blood pirates damage profiles, since they are the most common enemy.
