My corp lives in a Cataclysmic Variable C4 system, and we started using RR for the csites because of that bonus, but as it turns out it works adequately in non-cat var systems too.
We experimented with various battleships too, T1 and navy and pirate faction, and so we've come to the following conclusions:
Csite order of difficulty:
Integrated Terminus (IT) Frontier Barracks (FB) Frontier Command Post (FCP) Sleeper Information Sanctum (SIS)
For Cat Var systems:
3 BS (Machariel, Navy Raven, ECM Scorp) - can handle IT with warpouts 1 Tengu and 1 BS - can handle IT without warpouts and FB with warpouts 2 Tengu - can handle all but the SIS without needing warpouts 1 Tengu and 2 BS - can handle all but the SIS without needing warpouts 3 Tengu - can manage all sites without warpouts 2 Tengu and 1 BS - can manage all sites without warpouts and is slightly quicker 3 Tengu and 1 BS - easy street - so quick it's unreal
For non-cat-var systems and those systems with other effects, these figures will need to be altered appropriately, but 2 tengu and 1 BS can do all csites in a normal system without needing to warp out.
We tried various different battleships in the combinations but a T2 large pulse laser fit Nightmare wins hands down because of the high damage at longer optimal range than the other weapon types. It eats through battleships and cruisers regardless of range (within the context of these sites), and has drones to help with the smaller stuff.
Our RR Tengu fits were cap-stable buffer fits along the lines of the "Hardner" one posted by Aurelia, with the Nightmare being fit similarly but very much NOT cap stable when repping, and so we tend to only use the RR on the Nightmare in emergencies, relying on the Tengu RR the majority of the time, but when we realised how easy the sites were in this configuration, we got rid of some of the tank in favour of target painters on all ships and also a web to the Nightmare (which was already SeBo fit for the targetting range needed to target to the furthest limits of the longest range ammo).
With 3 Tengu and 1 Nightmare we can do a Cat Var C4 site in less than 8 minutes. |
