Edited by: Denuo Secus on 01/02/2010 14:15:06 The Gallente-flexibility-discussion in that other thread there brought me to the question: is a sentry drone HAC (Ishtar, Gila) usable for the Sniper HAC job?
I never did this in game yet. On paper it's thinkable. Damage and range is very nice. But such a HAC is stationary (unless I want to sacrifice my sentries ofc ^^). Is this a problem? Or is the Ishtar the flexible Deimos? How important is mobility for the typical sniper HAC?
Thanks for any hint.

I always thought hac (sniper) gangs needed to be highly mobile. I love hte Ishtar but when I fly it in a HAC gang, I tend to wish I'd brought the Zu instead. Removed. Please keep your EVE signature related to your EVE persona and not that of a real life politician. Navigator |

The way a sniper hac gang works it's not easy for sentry drones. The fleet needs to be always moving (aligned some where), and doing a lot of tactical warps to avoid being captured. Fly the Eagle for sniper hac gang fun.

i think a rail deimos would be better than a sentry ishtar/gila, picking up sentrys is a pain and if your gang bails you can kiss your 5mil set of bouncer IIs goodbye

Raildeimoses are actually nice to fly now, they did benefit from the tracking enhancer giving fallof, and while the zealot is still superior, a deimos doesnt have to hide anymore.
If i remember correct a fit looks like
5 rails mwd, sebo, LSE 3dmg mods, 3 te
ancil rig, em shield resist.
5 warriors 5 armor bots/ecm drones
This gets you an optimal of 90k and falloff of 40. Your limit is the locking range, make sure your squad is setup to receive a lockrange bonus.
The brutix is not far behind btw, and does even a little more dps with the same optimal but less falloff. Its problem is being slow compared to the other hacs, tho youll pay alot less for it. -

it was said above, in a sniper hac gang you are almost always moving so you will lose a lot of sentry drones.... that's the only reason it wont work but its a good reason.
