I've been playing this game since last Aug. Started this toon about 4 months ago gearing to fly this ship, Core skills are 5's and most skills in 4's. I have read hours of forums on ship fittings and would like the best fit for my Mach without spending a ton of isk. I have a bil to use on the Mach. All the input is appreciated thank you. |

Cheap fit that works just T2 (I strongly recommmend faction gyros though)
Highs: 800mm Auto canons + whatever on the utility slot Mids: MWD or AB + XL booster + 2xHardeners + Cap Injector Lows: 4xGyros + 3x Tracking Enhancers
Rigs to taste
TBH, as long as you get the lows right the rest is just a matter of preference. |

Like the above poster said, but use faction gyro/deadspace booster/faction hardeners. That'll run you up to 1 bil (rep fleet gyro and TE, Gist x large booster, Faction hardeners). If you still have some more isk, then use a dead space AB.
3 faction gyro and one t2 is sufficient. the fourth one all not add much dps to warrant the use of faction.
You won't need XL booster if you know to fly it. |

Cheap fit for a billion + dollar ship? This means you can't afford to lose it. |

Minmatar BS V, Gallente BS IV, Large Autocannon Spec IV. If you don't have it, go for a Maelstraom.
If you really want to fly it, here's a cheap but tanky fit:
[Machariel, PvE Cheap] Republic Fleet Gyrostabilizer Republic Fleet Gyrostabilizer Republic Fleet Gyrostabilizer Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II Damage Control II
Pith C-Type X-Large Shield Booster Shield Boost Amplifier II Photon Scattering Field II Invulnerability Field II Heavy Capacitor Booster II, Cap Booster 800
800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, EMP L [empty high slot]
Large Projectile Burst Aerator II Large Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer I [empty rig slot]
Hobgoblin II x5 Hammerhead II x5
EM /Therm... use Mission specific hardeners, tanks even more. |

You have 1 bil, my fit costs around 500 mil and suddenly you have to save up? 
Booster = 200 mil Gyros = 210 Rig = 80
I flew this fit, until I switched to a setup with afterburner and no capbooster. |

Putting all your ISK into one ship, that will sooner or later burst into flames, is always a bad idea. |

Just remeber that the Mach is best at speed tank, so you should be using your AB to tank more than your SB. I fly it like an oversized Vagabond myself, but not all missions react well to that.
Read up on how you get aggro in each mission. Some are range based.

I use the AB only to get in Range, because the tank with an XL Booster is good enough for every Mission. If you orbit stuff with an AB and use the Machs low signature and high agility you forget the fact, that your tracking and with it, your applied DPS are going down.
I kill the frigs standing still, then approach the bigger stuff in a straight line and kill cruisers -> BC -> BS.
Less moving, more shooting. The Macha has 7 x 800mm tanking modules; use them! ...

Above fit is way overtanked if you have decent skills, but regarding the fact the OP wants to fly a mach on a 4 month character, skills wont be decent, so not a bad idea to fly it like that.
However, a mach without a propmod is plain terrible. That's like a hulk without strip miners. At least put an AB on it (or an MWD if you're into blitzing). |

Thats why I posted the fit above. He will need more tank, because the damage will be far lower than necessary. I use an AB / MWD on my personal fit with 4 gyros, but I would't recommend that, if you have medium skills and no experience with the ship. Also he wanted a cheap fit... |

Think outside the box and don't simply orbit with the AB on. I do gun runs on my current target while linning up for my next target so transversal is negligible.
It's also a lot more fun than just orbiting or sitting still.
After destroying FF, DD, and CC...; I destroy 1 rat BS on way in, one on way out to about 15km, one on turning around and then one on the way back in.
Less moving and more shooting is simply wasting so much of the potential of the Mach. Flying smart still allows you to have ~90% of the DPS while yanking and banking. That actually makes some of the most boring missions fun.

Get in range (20km), stop or align (if necessary), shoot.
I'm pretty sure we mean the same thing. I won't stand still when there's a group of ships 50 km away. Avoiding transversal is the key. |

As you get used to the mach, you'll probably remove the cap booster and fit an AB, then pulse the AB to get transversal up against tricky spawns. You also boost the XL shield booster. A mach's primary tank is its guns - blow up those BS rats before your shield tank becomes problematic. July Oumis's fit is good to start with; then as you get more skills and used to the ship and the rat spawns, go for more dps.
Imho, pimping non-dps mods on a mach (apart from the AB) is not worthwhile because (as I said above) a mach tanks by blowing up the stuff shooting you :) |

Amp > Hardener
More tank in short time and since your cap is running out pretty fast -> less cycles more cap. I need 3 cycles for 30% shield. I try to keep it at 30-50%, because the "natural" regeneration rate is better. |

This July fella flies it excactly like I did and has good points in all of the posts. Take heed.
The natural progression for a mach is 3x CCC / SMC "stationary" tank build -> AB - cap boosted build -> burst aerator II.
In highsec, depending on where you mission, you might like a damage control (vs ganks) or a nanofiber (improved travel time). The damage control build works by ditching a mid for tracking computer and a TE for DC. It requires pimp stuff / imps. |

I disagree - damage that isn't applied thanks to resistances doesn't need to be repped.
Personally, I used to use 2 invulns, XL booster, MWD and cap booster fits after MWDs were allowed in missions. Had the quickest completion times with that kind of fit. You know... morons. |

20km???? My Mach hits at 60km. Close to falloff but still 1200 against Angels BS.
Plus, what mission do your shields get down to 30%?
Mach's tank is it's gank. |

How the hell is a 1200 hit (all guns) against Angels at 60km using Barrage 3000 dps???
My DPS is about 900 |

With Barrage (high cost, longrange, EXPLO damage) against angels (explo weakness), you can hit for 1200, but not every shot. Try that on Serpentis or Sanshas...
Why not just run 1-2 cycles of your MWD and be in range with fusion? Also reloadtime...

Since you guys could get the BPCs via missions in Curse, also helped to keep the cost down on Machs, i guess.

Eh no it was much more efficient to sell Dram BPCs and use the ISK to buy Machs in Jita. All the russian botfarms in Angel space crashed the price of Mach BPCs last year.
