Wimwyn 2 Posted April 30, 2017 Hey guys/gals I've been flying with you for s short while now, nearly 2 months. The isk is fantastic and I am rapidly approaching being able to fly a Mach (currently in a Rattle). I have a fairly serious question that has been haunting me for a while and went unanswered/unnoticed in WTM chat in game. If I X-up with a sub-optimal ship (Rattle, short range DPS) and an optimal (Mach, long range sniper) would both fits be considered? I am really interested in having 1 of each ship (long range, short range and logi) and will be training the Bowhead after the mach so I can start carrying multiple ships with me. But I notice that on fairly regular occasions the DPS list is much shorter than the sniper list. So basically just hoping both ships would be considered and not just the optimal one (at least until I have the Vindi trained too). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juan Carlos Minjita 120 Posted April 30, 2017 Any fits that meet our requirements are placed in the wl until a spot in that squad opens up. If you have a Rattle and a Mach in the DPS + Sniper lists, the one that comes up first will be requested. If you have both on the list at the time of forming, the FC will more than likely opt for the better ship if theres a choice. Important to note, within WTM all fleet positions (Barring fleet need for logis) are filled on a first come first served basis. No favouritism is given to optimal fits over starter/non optimal ships.

Bruce Warhead 52 Posted April 30, 2017 I'd recommend taking a VIndi instead of the the Rattle for short range through, once you have gunnery skills, It uses same Battleship skills as Machariel, even with meta4 guns the vindicator is giving more for incursions (then the Rattlesnake), Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wimwyn 2 Posted April 30, 2017 Thank you for clearing that up for me. I do want the Vindi, more so than I want the Mach, but I was thinking along the lines that I already have a short range boat and I was missing a long range one so took the Mach first. As for piloting the Vindi, I am missing the gunnery skills, I am still aquiring the gunnery skills for the Mach and before now I used pretty much nothing but missiles. Before I sink isk into the Vindi I wish to have a means to carry it, hence the training of the Bowhead once I get the Mach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
