Troy's 0.0 Setup

Post by **Troy** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 11:09 pm

As requested..

*Disclaimer: This is an expensive setup, relies some on some decent tank + missile/gun skills*

*Second Discalimer: As typical of MY setups, it has no WCS, and relies on watching local, instas, and my alt scout for the busy areas*

2x Protype/Compressed 250mm
5x Arbalest/XR Heavies

1x Afterburner T2
1x Multi Shield
1x Kinetic Shield
1x Large F-S9 Extender
1x Medium Shield booster T2 (Large is good for pvp, but it takes too much space, and you don't get the same dmg per second you do while ratting.

2x Ballistic Control T2
1x Magnetic Vortex (Hybrid dmg mod)
1x Named Dmg Controls

Thanks to the cap skills the combination of all your resistances + your Ferox resitance you have some serious kinetic/thermal resistance while also keeping some decent EM resistance(41%) just in case. You don't really have a weak spot.

3 Damage modifications may seem like overkill, but there is no other way for a Ferox to do enough DPS to break the tank of some of the bigger bounites, without wasting half your ammo in the process. Substituting these for Tech 1s shouldn't be too bad of a falloff, so that is certainly an option.

Scourge Missiles+Plutonium are my amm of choice.

5x Light scout drones in the bay.

Remember to send your drones in AFTER the Battleships target you. Otherwise, they will target the drones, which is kind of funny to watch, but will kill them after a while, and it will be a pain to go back and put more in.

I don't mind hearing now. . . It's when you are struggling to copy the damn book marks to the high loot area that you don't want to hear about it!! I've just been too busy/tired to get out there myself. Actually having work to do sucks!!

Using level 1 BCS with leve 1 rapid launch, skill re-fire rate on an arb down to 9.25. Sweet.

I was able to tank/destroy 2 550k BSs, 6 cruisers and 4 webbers with this setup today in a mission, using BCS I instead of BCS II, and without the dmg mod/dmg control (using CPU enhancer and PDS instead)

Also - Could someone pricecheck XR-3200 heavy missile launcers next time you're outside of Lonetrek? I bought up all the XR's under 3.5 mil, interested to know if any cheaper ones are out there?

There were two <2.4 in the Pure Blind region that I noticed last night. If you are brave enough to go get them. One was like 1.4 or 1.5.

My WCS just paid for themselves (OK, they were free, but still) this morning.

Tjakka, a player celebrating his 2 year eveversary today was gamping with his megathron. Me, I just sailed by.
