New Alpha State Dec 5th

[Ordio Soul 0]

Hi,

Quick question: will the incoming changes to alpha clone skills allow me to fly a meta 4 hype, or similar in an incursion fleet?

Thanks

Hi!

The short answer is: WTM commanders are working on it, stand by for results!

Hey if this helps, there's a pyfa dev build with the new alpha changes found here: https://github.com/pyfa-org/Pyfa/issues/1338

Well... my old hype has 70%+ on all resists, 1100 DPS  with meta 4 guns and large drones but only hits 96K EHP.

Will this be ok?  It seems to meet the requirements, though the EHP is a touch under.

Thanks

Simplest way to answer is : show me your fit, and i'll tell you.

Hype tends to have a bit under 100k EHP, which is usually fine, but i dont want to flat out tell you that your fit is okay, until i havent seen it.

Alphas can actually use Adaptive Invul II's 

And can do the minimum fit for a vindi with meta 4 guns in just under 5 mil SP

[niki lasvegas 535]

Yep. That is correct.

The minimum fits actually can be flown by alphas.

cool I’ll x up soon and link fit.

which of these ships would have a better chance of getting in a fleet?

or not at all

1. The malstroom should have another gyro on, i was travaling 

[Izumi Uchiya MD 214]

Either of those are equally viable starter options. Really only depends whether we need shortrange DPS vs snipers. This can be very random, but as a general answer we frequently need more of the short-range, so Rokh.

thank you,

any changes to the fit for various sites?

Not really for different sites, but for the rokh fit in general, you need to switch the Capacitor rig for a Thermal Rig (Large Anti- Thermal Screen Reinforcer) if your caldari battleship level is less than 4 (which is where most, if not all alpha clones are probably at.) There's also influence fitting, which happens sometimes, you can find a guide here:

In my opinion DDD doesnt really need that many light drones. If you are a Mach you are probably best with just heavy drones. 

Nightmares could carry around a set of lights and a set of meds (or just 3 heavies) . But i'd say they should always use at least meds, maybe with the exception of TPPH.

The other thing I would say is this: We base all fits on all LVL5 skills when the enter our waitlist.  Our fits are deliberately more tanky in order to compensate for lack of skills.  This is also one of the reasons we run with more logi than strictly required in an optimal fleet.

Yes, you should absolutely get your skills up.  No, they are not required in order to fly with us.
