I have just joined the militia and am really new to fleet warfare. I have a couple of arby's I want to throw in the mix.
My main question is what kinds of drones do I bring to the fight? And secondly what is the Arbitrators role if any in a roaming gang of around 15 - 20? I got Hammerhead II Hobgoblin II Hornet EC 500 Medium Shield Maintenance bots
Thinking about dropping the Hornets for warrior II's and dropping the SHield bots for Medium ECM drones. My fit is standard arby fit : Tracking Disruptor, Warp Disruptor, Drone Nav Computer, and MWD for meds and Tank for lows. Highs I got an E50 vampire, modulated beam lasers and a Drone link augmentator.

Here is what I use
Highs, Neuts not NOS or Guns if you want a leetle extra dps
Mids, for gangs of 15-20 MWD 3x TD's (almost always optimal range script) For solo work I use 2x TD and Point, Sometimes 1x TD and a Sensor booster + point
Lows
1x1600RT 2xEANMII DCUII
Drones, HammerHead II's for cruisers Valk II's for Fast Frigates (they go over 3kms so ya...) Warrior II's for anything the Valks can't catch. You can put some hornets in there with whatever is left or have a couple backup drones. --- Its like my mom always said... "I knew I should of drowned that one." |

The Arbie is the most fun, versatile cruiser in EVE and nearly makes up for how terribly gimped the rest of the Amarr cruiser line is. There are a number of ways to fit it, but for gangs I prefer:
[Arbitrator, Gang Tank] 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I Damage Control II Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
10MN MicroWarpdrive I 'Abandon' Targeting Disruptor I, Tracking Speed Disruption 'Abandon' Targeting Disruptor I, Optimal Range Disruption Warp Disruptor II
Salvager I 'Malkuth' Standard Missile Launcher I, Sabretooth Light Missile Medium Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Medium Pulse Laser II, Scorch S
[empty rig slot] [empty rig slot] [empty rig slot]
Hammerhead II x5 Vespa EC-600 x5 Warrior II x5 Hobgoblin II x5
I don't break the bank on T1 cruisers to begin with and you can save even more money on this fit by downgrading the drones and tanking modules in the lows to save several million ISK.
[Arbitrator, Budget Facwar] 1600mm Reinforced Crystalline Carbonide Plates I Emergency Damage Control I Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane I Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane I
10MN MicroWarpdrive I 'Abandon' Targeting Disruptor I, Tracking Speed Disruption 'Abandon' Targeting Disruptor I, Optimal Range Disruption J5 Prototype Warp Disruptor I
Salvager I 'Malkuth' Standard Missile Launcher I, Sabretooth Light Missile Medium Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Medium Pulse Laser II, Scorch S
[empty rig slot] [empty rig slot] [empty rig slot]
Vespa EC-600 x5 Hammerhead I x5 Warrior I x5 Hobgoblin I x5
For fleet fights, it's not as important to field a variety of small drones, but use Hammerheads for cruisers, hobbies for AFs and warriors for inties. Dropping the ECMs for armor bots is also often a good idea. -- Meridius Dex Visit the Gunship Forums --

HammerheadsII's go 2.2kms so they can keep up with most AF's btw ;) --- Its like my mom always said... "I knew I should of drowned that one." |

Originally by: SuiJuris HammerheadsII's go 2.2kms so they can keep up with most AF's btw ;)
But they don't track and hit them at all unless you can also web the target. I deployed a flight of Hammherhead IIs from a Thorax against a pair of AFs the day after QR released, then watched for nearly four minutes while they failed to hit anything. Valks might fare better, but hobbies against ABing frig hulls do the most focused damage with the best tracking. -- Meridius Dex Visit the Gunship Forums --

Thanks for the input guys. I was only fitting an 800 mm but now I got the 1600 going getting me almost 22 K EHP. And once I have drone Interfacing IV I'll be dishhing out 195 DPS with the hammerhead II's
