Edited by: James Hargreaves on 21/06/2005 22:53:18 Before I could use a tech 2 XL booster I had to switch my fitting all over the place for various missions. Now all I have to do is switch hardeners. I rarely have to warp out of missions, I think the only one I ever have to warp away from is the extravaganza level 6.
High: 2x limos 4x regular siege (4 malkuth might enable me to fit a named nos?) Med: Tech2 XL booster, amp, cap charger, 3x hardeners Low: 4x PDS2 1x BC
Is there any kind of catch all fitting for the Pest, Geddon, Apoc, or Mega? I discard the Dom, Scorp and Phoon because they probably have damage issues against the 2.5 or 3m rats. I'm just looking for an alternative if I have to switch to something else after the missle patch.
I'm partial to training for the Pest because it can probably fit 6x large and 2x medium along with a good tank. Then use med drones for killing frigs. I guess the Apoc could do the same thing but you might be restricting yourself to killing blood raiders.

My Apoc setup changes depending on who I expect to fight.
Lost of webbing frigs and I fit a smart bomb and one cruise. I swop this out for 2 cruise on occasion.
ofc hardners change and I also fit a little more gank and less tank on non-deadspace missions.
I've flown a few ships in missions and the only one that has a catch all is the raven. Swop hardners and go basically.

so many people do not seem to realise this. An XL T2 shield booster, is only as good as the C5L, perhaps the c%L could even be seen as better.
T2 = Shield boost - 600 - duration - 5sec - 120 boost per second C4L = shield boost - 480 - duration - 4sec - 120 boost per second
They both have the exact same activation cost. The reason i say the C5L maybe better is because in a fight, take the first 5 seconds, u have been running your shield booster, the c5L has boosted 960, your T2 has boosted just 600. Now i hear you shout, the next second the T2 boosts a further 600, but then a further 3 seconds after that the C5L has boosted another 480 etc etc.
The C5L boosts quicker and stronger within the begining of the battle.
And the other thing, which imho, cements the C5L as the best shield booster, is the fittings. 50 more PG and 60 more CPU, on any "tanked" setup the 60 CPU would be a godsend.
Then to finish, i also believe the T2 ATM costs more, so i certainly know what i would buy

OK maths boy. So they have the same boost per second and the same activation cost. So put it this way:
T2: 120 shield/sec for 80 cap/sec C5L: 120 shield/sec for 100 cap/sec
I know which I'd rather have. Cap is life.

For those that use shield boost amps, the tech 2 give you way more of an advantage over the named.

What I call my type 1 raven is as follows....
4 malkuth + 2 seige. 2 x named hvy nos 2 shield amps. xl c5 shield booster, rest hardners 5 pduII's
i also swap out a shield amp for a hardner.
with either of these setups I can survive a geddon on gank juice for a few seconds

6x zw-4100 1x Large Booster II, 4x Hardeners, 1x Large Shield Extender 2x Multiphsic Bolt Arrays, 1x PDU I, 1x Capflux, 1x Overdrive
Usually no problems (except when i forget to use the correct hardeners or torpedos); but i have to warp out at stage 2 of drone harrasement as the booster is not fast enough for both supreme drones. And i decline extravaganzas because the take so long....

I used to use; 6x Siege 2x Whatever i felt like fitting, usually some guns because they look pretty.
1x Xl C5-L Booster 1x Boost AMP 4x Hardener
4x PDU I 1x PBU I or Ballistic I if there's hard tanked NPC's in the mission.
It's cheap to lose (Handy for 0.0) and I have yet to get a mission I can't do in it. After the raven changes swapping 1 hardener for a webber or strapping on 2 small guns + Lotsa mediums should be useful.

My fit is about the same, the only thing I switch is 1 hardener for a jammer for the Drone mission. -------------

6 Arbalest siege, 1 heavy diminishing nos 1 XL t2 booster, 1 Gistii amp, 2 Dread hardeners, 2 cap charger II 1 cap power relay, 2 pdu II, 2 caldari navy ballistics
I know u look at CPR and say OMG, but with this setup i lose a little boost, but gain a shield booster that can run forever. With new shield skill i can drop the CPR and fit another CN ballistic.

I can take those easily with the booster+amp instead of the shield extender. I just fly away immediatly and by the time I start getting low on cap I'm out of the effective range of their guns...
I like extravaganzas because I can make 30-40m and then go to sleep and do it again the next day after everything has respawned. I use a probe to go pick up more torps when I run out.
