Faced with something of a conumdrum. I recently purchased a mach and have been playing around with EFT for the past week or so to determine how to maxamize the ships offensive potental and have arrived at 2 situations.
1: 6 Republic Fleet 1400mm Howitzer Artillery with faction ammo, 2 caldari Navy cruise missile launcher and 5 hammerhead II's can give me 801 dps and 5589 Alpha.
2. 6 1400mm Howitzer Artillery II with faction ammo, 'arbalest' Heavy Assault Missile Launcher and 5 hammerhead II's can give me 752 dps, but 6037 Alpha.
With option 1, I can be futher to cause my damage, though I cause less of it. With option 2 I have to be atleast 16 km to cause full damage but get nearly 450 more points in alpha. The other thing about 2 is that it would take me nearly 4 months to train up to specialization 4.
So my question is this, is training 4 months worth the extra 450 pts of damage or should I stay with option one and be happy?
Alternatively I could just drop the missile launchers for option 2 and put some drone augmentors on (I think thats the right module).

Unless i missed it, you didnt say what you want to use your ship for.

Uh, Option #2 is much cheaper. That said, I'd go with option #2. I'm biased though, because I can already use T2 arties ;-)
I have to ask though: if this is for gate camping (and I assume that it is), can you fit the arties and tank sentries?

I was given a set of republic 1400mm's as a parting gift from a friend who recently left the game.
As for what the ship will be used for, right now for mission running but definitely later on for pvp.
I guess what I am really looking for is training for 4 months really worth the extra points of damage that can be inflicted. |

Yes, the training time is worth it. If you're doing it for missions, though, the alpha is largely irrelevant. You'll want straight out DPS.

Ed: DPS @ Range, I should say. Blasters don't really fare all that hot in missions. ;-) |
