  1. Drone DPS, Bunnies, and Sandbagging

    I have some experience with webdrones. They were so useless i quickly gave up on the idea of using them... in incursions. Ever.
  2. niki's take on the WTM Leshak

    After that march post i caught up on overloading both in theory and practice too. The guide is already summarizing my conclusion.
  3. What ammo to use

    Sansha Ships: If you are closer than 10 km of your target reload to (Faction) Antimatter. If you are farther than 15 km on your target reload to (Faction) Tungsten. If it's in between 10 and 15 km dont bother to reload, just shoot with whatever you have already loaded. Towerbash: Always use your highest DPS ammo, and just headbutt the tower! In your case it is the (Faction) Antimatter.

    That bum, Casper!
  5. Juan Carlos' P R A X I S fleet 25th May 1800

    Ehh... the sad fact is that with CCP screwing us with this 1 spawn BS kitchensink HQ fleets are kinda just not an option. The system is almost always crowded with multiple fleets, competing each other for better sites, or heck, just for simply a site. In this cut-throat enviroment it matters more and more, how optimal the fleetcomp is. If you want to write a letter, write it for CCP.
  6. "www" and "nnn" in WTM-Basi

    Works both ways imo. Can be even more overwhelming to keep with everything plus this up, essentially just giving more work for newbros who are already full with tasks.
  7. "www" and "nnn" in WTM-Basi

    Honestly Mr. William speaks some truth. Kinda sorta agree with him. Need to think about this a bit more.
  8. Incursion Leshak

    Armor reps are fun. And they are helpful for the fleet up until the point when someone using armor remote reps in a WTM fleet and is broadcasting for cap. Thats more than not helpful. Distracting the basis with it in a dangerous situation is just simply bad. Other than that i wish you happy armor repping!
  9. How do you benchmark fits?

    WTM is always very careful about adding new hulls to the list. Usually tons of testing is done beforehand. Sometimes even if the ship meets hard requirements WTM decides to not allow it because of other reasons (just some examples: movement speed / shield EHP / price / performance).
  10. niki's take on the WTM Leshak

    Just a tiny update guys to note: in TCRC when you are at the "Towerbash Phase" please go ahead and snuggle with the Vindicators nice and close to the Tower! That way tunnel-vision Logi have easier time to spot lasers on you. But more importantly if you grab the aggro Vindis will have easier time to web Schmaels. And lastly DDD will have easier time to blap the respawning Niarja too if it doesnt start to burn to you, cuz you are out of its orbit-range. The Niarja has a 68 km jam range with falloff so it matters very little (to nothing) where you are trying to hide as long as you are in Occult range of the Tower. Thanks for reading!
  11. Triglavian Invasions - The Scoop so Far

    Its just a matter of application, Elathy. HACs and such dont have the paper dps to apply and contest remote rep/cap. niki [3:53 PM] btw i only participated in one fleet, but seems like normal agro table to me. my vindi often got the damage agro switch. its just a matter of applied damage. if no one is applying enough dmg thats when the trig will agro the logi cuz of the applied reps+caps
  12. Juan Carlos' P R A X I S fleet 25th May 1800

    i just noticed. 350 rokh. i see what u did there
  13. I'm back?!?

    TVP lost almost all active FCs eventually, so they completely gave up on HQs. They are exclusively VGs nowadays. NGA is about similar what it was. They are usually pretty good, but only flying in Russian afternoons. With TVP gone a lot of players searched for a new HQ community. Some landed in WTM, but the "pushing boundaries" type of players went to TDF. TDF went through a huge overhaul, and they are basically a new form of what TVP was and stood for. Just doing armor, not shield. Oh yeah, and there is a Russian HQ-boxer around with a lot of Golems and Snakes, i guess i should mention that cuz he puts up an actually solid HQ fleet when he is really into running. A bit similar to what Blob is doing, just way more toons than him.
  14. I'm back?!?

    Welcome back XO . I was just referring how we used to greet each other on comms. One of us said "hi" , the other was immediately "oh no..." Invasions are going to be released in a bout 10 days as far as i know. Definitely something worthy looking into. But i personally want to first experience it on TQ before i form an opinion. Incursions hasnt changed much maybe the most significant one that you might not know about is the influence of the Leshaks in HQs. They are beast at killing Towers and Kundalini. The logi remote rep stacking penalty is not really influencing incursions. Sparta and Sandman are still around (when they have time), Boldie hasnt showed himself for a good while now. Plex price... well its just going to be worse and worse, so prepare yourself The 1 mil bonus SP was indeed a really nice login bonus, good bait from CCP , so props to them. Last couple of weeks Concord LP seems like a bit stagnating and flooding the market, but maybe at some point its gonna change. We've seen ups and downs in the past so wouldnt be anything new. I kinda miss your soundboard
  15. I'm back?!?

    Oh no... he is back...
  16. Standard Praxis Fit?

    When Praxis was released WTM commanders thought about implementing it, or not. The debate ended with a negatory. Im sorry, but WTM does not allow Praxis in its fleets.
  17. You start to box and you realise you can do this in VG. After a while its not enough and you go crazy and you expand to AS. Its the same, you just need more toons. And then there are a few madmen wiho are never satisfied. So they just go full nutz, HQ sites, and never enough toons. But still, its basically the same. JUST NEED MOAR TOONS Never enough... (Also you can blame them for plex prices too ! jk )
  18. [Idea] Cap Stable Basilisk; yah or nay?

    The idea itself works... actually more than that, it is really appealing. There are also several fits for cap stable basi that work. But. There are several issues with this for WTM. We have been discussing this for i dont even know how long for now. I believe first it was Canyon trying to do something with it a long long time ago. As far as me, i have been having this conversation for about a year.
  19. niki's take on the WTM Leshak

    Sure, i can do that.
  20. Incursion Leshak

    I saw TDF (armor community) Shacks in action around 7 bil So...
  21. Suggestion

    Recommend to use the right click + "Mute Client" option.
  22. niki's take on the WTM Leshak

    So as long as you don't want to heat for example an armor repper or something extra like that it really doesn't matter, cuz you only have 1 single gun. Okay. Well that makes sense. Also that means you don't have to bring cyno and stuff like that, Malcolm Going to edit the initial post according to that after some tests. UPDATE / EDIT : actually i have some contradicting info on this. So i'm gonna investigate more and see if i can find out more. Once i get to some results i'll get back to this. Anyone with any useful info: feel free to chip in!
  23. niki's take on the WTM Leshak

    Huh! Very interesting!
  24. niki's take on the WTM Leshak

    Hehe. I was thinking the same a while back, playing with the idea. But never got to actually follow it up. Those items would be probably the best heatsinks (at least in theory), but i can not really be bothered to test it out Another problem is that technically those modules are banned from WTM. But if i ever actually test it out i'll get back to you with the results Of course if someone has something about the topic feel free to speak up.
  25. niki's take on the WTM Leshak

    Fair point. Even tho' i personally don't believe in armor reps saving anyone in WTM fleet due to the nature of the community. But i'm sure many thinks otherwise and that's not an argument i am willing to take. Can just silently disagree. Nevertheless if anyone feels like stuffing remote armors to utility highs feel free to do so! The ship indeed has a bonus for it. Just be careful about the tight CPU fitting limit! Would be a shame if you miss out on some nice mod cuz too many remote reps on highs!
