ULTIMATE APOCALYPSE SETUP ( EXPENSIVE BUT WORTH IT ) : EVE Online General Discussions

right, to start off with you need quite a bit of experience, AND, skills
and money.....

High Slots :
6 Tachyon Beam Lasers (multifrequency)
2 Siege Missile launchers (IF CAN FIT AFTER REST OF SETUP)

Med Slots :
3 Sensor booster II's
1 Target painter II

Low Slots :
2 Radar-backup array II's
2 Reactor Control Units ( tech II IF possible )
3 Heat Sink II's

That will give you a insta-lock (even pod), and VERY dangerous ship, PERFECT FOR PIRATES WHO LIKE THERE JOB, OR ANTI-PIRATES

until you get killed by a hac ...

no armor boosting? i am assuming this ship is for quick "wham bam thank you ma'm" battles. I do like the prospect of insta-targeting. I will have to give it a try. Thanks

I think you'd be better with longer range weapons. I normally prefer rails on a BS since they are too slow to get in close. They can target from a long range so why not use that advantage to gank from a long range. Even a hac won't get a chance to get close enough to do very much. Use 2 range types for ammo so that you do more damage the closer they get.

To get close enough to make beams useful, you need a 100mn mwd and with that, you may as well paint a big red bullseye on your BS cos your sig radius will go through the roof.

Instead of siege missiles, why not go for FOF Cruise? they are faster and have nearly double the rate of fire so 2 FOF Cruise launchers can probably do more damage in the same time as 2 siege missile launchers. 4 missiles instead of 2 at 65% of the damage per missile is an additoinal 60% damage. Siege are mostly for structures since they can be out manouvered easily by a fast ship. It helps that I manufacture missiles so I get to know the specs of them.

Cruise missles all the way. Yep a hack could rip this apart.

its got no shield boosters or armour boosters, so basically the idea of this ship is to kill the other person first then warp away, because you have no self repair
