Vardofire	Posted - 2004.10.10 08:51:00 - [1] I've just made the jump to BS! Yippee yay! I'll be hunting rats most of the time now, and even if im a blaster fan, I believe I'll be switching back to rails since range is your friend with NPC. However I need some help fitting my Thron since there's so many slots to fill (sigh).... I'm a pretty experience fighter with frigs and cruiser, just need some tips from BS pilots on fitting my railthron. Here's what I thought id put in there; 6425mm 2siege 100mn AB Large Armor Rep 2 Hardners Dunno if Ill be using 350mm instead, or if I wont swtich to Cruise Launchers. The med slots seem quite empty and I resist the thought of stuffing all Cap Rechargers in there. I may have 1-2 lo slots left after the RCU are fitted so give your thoughts too. Thx in advance! ----------------------------------------------- "Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way." -General George Patton Jr

Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.10.10 09:01:00 - [3] I wouldn't bother with the siege launchers. Put in some rocket launchers with defenders. Mid-slots should be dedicated to either cap recharge or tracking 'cause Megathron is an excellent ranged sniper for NPC's LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Shadowsword	Posted - 2004.10.10 10:03:00 - [5] I think the sieges are for anti-frig defense. Depending entirely on drones to escape a tough spawn is bad because they can all be killed before all the inties are dead, leaving you in a nasty situation. Highs: I'd say it depend of the NPC you fight. If they tend to go close (like serpentis), 350mm rails are better because you can still hit webbed battleships within 10km. You can also do a mix of them if you have some CPU/Grid issues. For the mids I suggest dropping the 100MN AB (won't be very usefull, even to fetch cans), and putting a good webbifier, a tracking comp II, and 2 cap rechargers. For lows: Large repairer, 2 or 3 hardeners, Damage mod, 2 or 3 cap relays.

Marlak Garill	Posted - 2004.10.10 10:09:00 - [7] I would have put 3 hardeners (2x armour hardeners and 1 energized something membrane) and 1 large named armour rep and 1 med tech. II armour rep and some good cap rechargers on low and med slots. I can take on a dual sanshas lord and one sanshas overlord spawn (2x 750k and one 1 mill rat) with this setup, so try this and i'm sure you'll gank any rat you meet.

Thanit	Posted - 2004.10.10 17:57:00 - [9] Nah, if you want togo rails you eithe go 350's and armortank or go 425's and snipe. 425's with armortank is useless. And forget the launchers. Now, if you want to snipe try this : (assuming full skills on all fitting) 7x 425 railguns 1x assault launcher with defenders or lights. 1x Large shieldbooster II 1x shield hardener 1x sensor booster 1x cap recharger II or cap injector (if near base). 3x tracking mods 3x damage mods 1x rcu/pdu/cap relay/ 4th damage mod depending on how you end up on grid and cap.

Jim Steele	Posted - 2004.10.12 15:05:00 - [15] dont forget to set warpin points (bookmarks) 100k away from any roids otherwise youll land on a pile of them get stuck and be owned by the battleships npc interceptors.... use a fast frig for this like a rifter or 'ceptor. Death to the Galante

ponieus	Posted - 2004.10.12 15:11:00 - [17] well I use the armor tank/snipe setup and it works perfect for killing npc's 7 425's (named if possiable) scanning cpu x2 tracking mods cap charger 3 hardners (ie: 2 thermal i kenitic or vise vera) 1 med tech2 armor repair x2 damage mods 1 pwd (for lil bit of grid and recharge rates) I use that setup all the time and have killed upto 6 mill isk bounty rats..

U may want to add a heavy missile launcher in there if you can fit it, for taking out the warp scramblers. Other than that, nice setup.

Other than that, nice setup. well thats the thing.. dont need it with all the tracking .. This setup is for range.. if you catch the intys at range killing them with 425's is no problem.. one at a time is all it takes.. and if one gets threw past your range setup drones will make a can out of them in no time.. btw ty

Jurgan	Posted - 2004.10.13 02:26:00 - [25] Edited by: Jurgan on 13/10/2004 02:28:51 x6 425mm rails x2 rocket launchers x4 cap chargers x2 1600mm armor plates x1 thermal x1 kinetic armor hardener x1 large armor repair x1 RCU x1 CoProcessor antimatter shells, defender missiles, ogres, rockets. You can tank 2 serpentis megathrons and a few cruisers for an extended period of time. Rockets can take out frigs and cruisers with ease, with help from drones. 425's w/ anti can hit BSes from 55km to 8km. works great for me. =<I>= Gloria Victis The Intaki Sovereignty

Vardofire	Posted - 2004.10.13 02:37:00 - [27] I've tried combining all of your answers and I've came up with this: 6425 (dunno which ammo though) 2Cruise Launchers (whizz-bang!!!) 2Cap Recharge I 1Track Comp 1Web 3hardeners (80% against all Sansha dmg) 1Larger Armor Rep 1Co-Pro II 1RCU I 1CPR 10 Ogres I believe that this setup will be good at long ranges, and the Ogre/Web(Cruise missile) will be able to deal with annoying intys and cruisers. Dunno if the cap recharge will be enough, but the defense seems good. And I think the track comp will give me an edge (coupled with the Thron bonus) in not missing a shot... Waddaya think? ----------------------------------------------- "Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way." -General George Patton Jr

Ka Dargo	Posted - 2004.10.13 03:24:00 - [29] Edited by: Ka Dargo on 14/10/2004 02:45:37 Very interesting thread, I still have trouble getting the right setup for my megathron NPC & PVP. (IE damage with the abilty to defend) Usually something in this kind of setup. 7*425mm, 1x??? 1xTracking, 3xcap recharger2's 1xLarge armour, 3xhards, damage mod(s)/2xdiags/rcu. depending on what you put in that 8th high slot determine what I fit in last couple of lows. I normally either use a rocket/assault/nosf, but I will have to look at a siege or cruise launcher I think. I would use 2xassault launchers with defenders for ravens & guristas but they are SO BUGGED it's not funny. I wish to GOD they would fix it so you ship doesn't spin like an out of control top when you fire defenders. - Ka Dargo.
