dedication to railguns

[Rokh, Non-rail/fail version]

800mm Repeating Artillery II, Barrage L

Due to the Rokh's sleek design and my dedication to railguns , I abandoned my Amarr and Gallente routes and head on to master my shield training. However... I encountered some issues last night during my run in lvl4 (located in caldari region). I looked online to find fits for my Rokh, but very few that I found are for PVE purpose. I heard people say Rokh is inferior for PVE and Hyperion/Megathron are better option hand's down to solo encounter. But I really liked Rokh... ! Is there a way to fit Rokh for lvl4? I like sniping and railgun is my passion.

What about max range rokh? I wonder if I can fly like 200km away and start pinning everyone down with railguns.

Swap out for a sensor booster and a sensor amp to give you the sensor range. Iron charges will give you a 171KM optimal with a 30km falloff, spike rounds will give you a 194 optimal if you really wanna take T2 ammo into a mission.. heres the fit and details

Note the INSANE decrease in DPS from the last fit. If you want, I can build you a fit specific to your skill set but I would need your API key to put into EVE HQ. If you are interested, send me an evemail.

What about max range rokh? I wonder if I can fly like 200km away and start pinning everyone down with railguns.

I tried for a while to get a Rohk to work for me. I can't remember my fit exactly, but I had my best results with a 350 rail fit and a 100mn MWD. You need to keep your range to make it work. I had 3 mag stabs and TE's in the low. If your drone skills are poor, don't even try as you need to get rid of the webby frigs quickly. Once you get swarmed you can get into a whole lot of trouble. Never lost my rohk, but came close a few time... I still have it.. use it to mine in the WH, or smart bomb on the wh entrance

That's how I lost my apoc lol

I can use t2 med drone, but that's it. Hammerhead II are my primary attack drones. I did my first sniping with abaddon and i was using tachyon so it took me quite some time to figured out a capable fit for it. I love sniping, because I feel like I'm in control of the battlefield. I like how they chase me from 150+ while I'm taking them out out one by one. I never PVP before, but if I do I will be playing the sniper role because that's just my personality. I like to play safe and sneaky so that my enemy can only hope for escape.

Do you know what you need? AC.

Swat those pesky frig rats down to 10km.

Is dealing 987 DPS really bad? I'm shooting from 250km though (and im using t1 iron )

You're not getting 987 DPS. You might be getting that on single volleys, but to get DPS you need to divide that by your rate of fire -- which ought to give you a number around 300. Which isn't good.

I mean from all 8 turrets.

So did I. The fit I posted with 425s and 4 faction mag stabs gets 238 DPS with iron charges, but comes in at 1247 volley. 1247 volley/5.1s per volley = 238 DPS.

Hammerhead II x5
===========

Cap Runs at 4:29
Shield Resists are: 54.1/81.2/85.9/77
Armor Resists are: 57.5/53.2/36.3/23.5

DPS (with my skills (BS@5 and Railspec@ 3) 533 + 155.5 (Drones)
Volley Dmg is 3052

Shield Rep per cycle 670
81705 EHP uniformed damage

If I swap against Caldari Navy Ammo i get 54 Optimal+29 Falloff and 681 DPS (combined)

My optional Fit get rid of one of the the Heatsinks and puts in a Power Diagnostic II
That lowers the DPS but raises the Cap to 6:46 and EHP to 83856

Overall I can do solo most Lvl4s.
All you need to cycle your shieldbooster from time to time a bit
I usually wait till the shield drops to like 60% and then start cycling till about 80-90%

The Passive Hardeners are swapped depending on the mission npc's

I tried with CCCs as Rigs but the Rokh works better with the Memory Cells -¦from my experience.

I'm going to be truefull here.

If your dead set on Rails over Blasters for missioning in the Rokh your going to be disappointed at how slowly you get things done in most missions.

Hybird weapons do include Blasters and your going to see better completion times on a Blaster Rokh then a Rail one.

Gallent ships that have +tracking and large Drone bays do clean up level 4 missions nicely though with rails.

Trying out Naga right now, doing 470 dps with t1 rail in a Naga at 150km

May as well do it now to experience parts of Eve's content that no one else does. You won't want to do this later when you get a real boat.
