Very nice quide. I started using dual propulsion right after QR but still you have some good pointers that I never thought of, thanks.
2 things: I'm intrigued by learning to recognize fitted guns and have tried to do some of my own research but I still don't have skills to fit all of them myself, you don't happen to know of a image database that could help? :P (Google doesn't help here)
Second, I disagree a bit with the bit about the Incursus... IMO it really doesn't fly that much like a Ranis, and the most flexible fit (at least for low sec) seems to be AB these days. Ofc it's a decent friggie for getting your feet wet but IMO it really doesn't approximate the Ranis that well. No tracking bonus, way too little speed etc. --- WOLFY is recruiting!

Originally by: Hidden Snake sorry to say that but that about rapiers and huggins is [email protected] .. any semi competent FW recon pilot will smash u in no time ... you will also die in case you will engage AC thrasher or properly fited wolf ... ranises are nice, however not win button ship
Watch his vid. For the Minnie Recons, it all depends on if you get under their guns fast enough, if you don't get a quick scramble on them you're of course slower than them with MWD and dead. You might be right about AC Trashers but at least in FW quite a lot of them are Arty fits, I've even killed a couple in my notanked Sader(and died trying), so Ranis won't have any problems... --- WOLFY is recruiting!

Originally by: Hidden Snake I must say no ... dps of the blaster ranis is not so high that i will double web it and lowboat away ... and wach the drones and my ACs do the raping ... I am just trying to cool down heads ... ranis is very nice ship, but if u wanna go against mini/amar recon take 4-5 (that is how i die sometimes in rapier - attack lonely ranis and got nano gank **** :) ) and to get under his guns/scram range means u have to land on top of the recon
Sorry, but it's situational and it depends entirely on if the Ranis can scramble the Rapier very quickly or not, after that dual webs won't help... Drones can be popped rather fast etc. --- WOLFY is recruiting!

Originally by: Gibbo3771 What are the benefits from, let's say engaging a noon bc pilot, say a Drake. Between the incursus and rannis, is it just the speed and dps ratio, wouldn't it just pop at the same rate if things go **** up? and at 15mil a difference, well u know were I'm going with this :)
P.s at work, dont have eft or market so bare with me :P
DPS, EHP, speed. But one of the major upsides to the combat ceptors over T1 frigs and even AFs is IMHO also the tiny sigradius even with MWD on. --- WOLFY is recruiting!

Also, with a faction mapc you can fit 3 neutrons and 2 damage rigs, and the faction mapc's are estimated to cost about 4m, so that might be the better choice
I have a bunch of those now, looks promising. And the NMAPC didn't cost an arm and a leg even now.
(Though the relative performance increase is not as big as triple trimark or extender frigs) --- WOLFY is recruiting!

Originally by: Dasalt Istgut Edited by: Dasalt Istgut on 13/09/2009 14:31:08 Edited by: Dasalt Istgut on 13/09/2009 14:26:58 In the brave new world of ridiculously cheap frigate rigs, there is one incursus to raype all blaster-ranis's. Just hit "keep at 7km" overload them railguns and let the fun begin.
Nice idea, but my unrigged Ranis fit does 16 DPS more than that at 7km, my rigged one(the one I use normally) tops it by 33 DPS... While having close to the same EHP so... Close call as the Incursus can apply some damage on approach but I will still bet on the Ranis, at least with rigs.

TBH the dual prop fit is much better than either of the fits posted above, even for dogfighting just beacause of the flexibility. (CCC's, really? )
