At God 0 Posted December 10, 2020 Hello there, I'm a returning player who stopped playing in 2012, not long after I got a Paladin (incidentally financed through armor Vanguards back then :P). I plan on re-subbing and grinding for a few weeks during Christmas break to set myself up for a later return. I can only fill the DPS role, and would be willing to sell my Paladin in order to bring a Pulsemare fitted with the following. I have pretty much maxed out Gunnery and Drone skills. [Nightmare, Nightmare incursions] Heat Sink II Heat Sink II Heat Sink II Heat Sink II Damage Control II Capacitor Power Relay II Sensor Booster II, Scan Resolution Script Tracking Computer II, Tracking Speed Script Tracking Computer II, Tracking Speed Script Tracking Computer II, Tracking Speed Script Pithum A-Type Multispectrum Shield Hardener Pithum C-Type EM Shield Amplifier Domination 500MN Microwarpdrive Mega Pulse Laser II, Scorch L Mega Pulse Laser II, Scorch L Mega Pulse Laser II, Scorch L Mega Pulse Laser II, Scorch L Large Remote Capacitor Transmitter II Large Remote Capacitor Transmitter II Large EM Shield Reinforcer I Large Thermal Shield Reinforcer II Large Core Defense Field Extender I Ogre II x3 Couple questions: Should I expect a long waiting list for DPS over the holidays? Or is that not going to be as big of a concern to me as a 'newbro' in the first place? Ideally I would like to be able to participate pretty much everyday you run fleets and make some dank ISK. If I can expect long waiting / idle times I'll probably prefer to keep my Paladin and invest in a less expensive Incursion setup. Second: Am I at risk of getting ganked while travelling with a fit such as this? How do you guys usually migrate? I don't know what the ganking climate is like nowadays, and want to make sure I know what's up before flying around in this. Third: If you have any fitting recommendations, feel free. Following your guidelines I would progress the fit in the following order: faction HSs -> faction TCs -> Gunnery implants -> X-Type MWD -> 2nd A-Type Invuln -> Rigs -> faction LRCTs -> Ascendancy set Cheers!

darkstriker01 31 Posted December 10, 2020 OK so our waitlist varies sometime you will get in within minutes other times it's hours long. Your always at risk of being ganked while moving between focuses but Alot less likely when in fleet. People usually split there ships into bowheads and pith a's I to something small and fast. I use 1 bowheads for each region personally. I would suggest go duel a hardener then remove ur 2 rigs (cdfe and thermal) for a damage one (15% more dps on field =more isk/hour and more chance of winning contests) , then mwd (cause you already have a faction one) then spend Loads of isk on ur better than faction low damage lows :-p That's my thoughts but everyone had a differing opinion.

niki lasvegas 537 Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) NM and Pally are both queued as snipers. This week the sniper queue was surprisingly empty. Also with T2 gun you have a better chance to get into fleet during "Optimal Hours", you can find the topic in the Warp To Me News thread. If this is your only ship that you fly around, without a Bowhead then refit to "brick tank" when you are moving to a different location. Get bulkheads on the lows with the DCU and a lot of LSE on mids with hardeners. Also note that you have a frigate bay now in battleships, which you can use for various reasons, like hauling consumables, fit the frig with some extra mods, just keeping your pod safer, etc. I would go X-type MWD first then faction sinks or the other way around. After those 2 you can choose the next step. TBH Faction cap transfers are not really more useful than T2. Its the same just a bit more range.

At God 0 Posted December 10, 2020 Thank you for the quick replies, some useful info in there. I'll note down the point about fitting brick tank for travelling and using a fast inty for expensive moduls (or storing them in the bay frigate?). Might also set getting a Bowhead as a mid-term goal. The Optimal Hours policy seems to suit me just right since I'm in EU. Awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
