Ashes Nei	Posted - 2004.10.14 22:48:00 - [1] Firstly, hi to all of you. Secondly, I'm having something of a problem with keeping ships alive, I continue to lose tempest after tempest to npc spawn in 0.0 space. I was wondering if anyone could help me with a good configuration for a minmatar tempest. Should I shield tank? Armor tank? How? I pretty much have the appropriate skills for both, or can learn them. Thanks.

Sally	Posted - 2004.10.14 23:34:00 - [3] That's what I am using currently: 5 x 1200mm, 1 x Heavy Nos, 1 x Rocket Launcher, 1 x L Smartbomb 1 x Tracking Comp, 1 x Webifier, 3 x Cap Recharger 1 x Damage Mod, 3 x Active Hardeners, 1 x M Armor Rep, 1 x L Armor Rep Medium Drones in bay Preferably all meta or TL2 stuff. I am hunting Sanshas with that, though I do not go for the True Sansha spawns on my own. Most Sanshas try to keep range, so I have a direct line to them while firing the 1200mms, the ones which come to close get webbed and then shot. Even this setup is somehow slow with my crappy gunnery skills, it works. And for PVP, when you're EM/Heat tanked, 2 Apocs will have a hard time taking you down and the Rocket Launcher, Webber and Nos scare some Interceptor pilots off :-). Hope it helps. Didn't test any close range setup, for long range sniping you need good skills. -- Stories: #1 --

ElCoCo	Posted - 2004.10.15 07:06:00 - [7] What rats are you hunting btw? 1200mm`s are sweet for guristas and bloods,so and so with sanshas (because some BS`s are short range) but not too good with serpentis (since most use blasters) Sally`s setup is cool... maybe you can fit a short range turret instead of the smartbomb?

Workdawg	Posted - 2004.10.15 07:14:00 - [9] heres my setup: 3x 1400mm, cruise, 2x siege 5x cap rechargers 1 large armor rep, 1 med armor rep, 3 hardeners (therm, kin, exp), 1 1600mm i can tank a lot of damage like that, i've toughed it out through many bs 0.0 spawns with that setup. my skills in gunnery arent great, thats why i use the missiles. but it works well... especially if you have a buddy or two who pack a punch

Ashes Nei	Posted - 2004.10.15 09:05:00 - [11] I hunt mostly serpentis, or rather, they usually spawn right on top of me and make my life difficult. Especially if I have a hauler in the belt. It doesn't matter if I've just cleared the belt not 5 minutes prior, as soon as I bring in a hauler they spawn within 30k of me. Ce la Vie. Keep the tempest configurations coming though guys, and thanks again.

Klezz	Posted - 2004.10.15 11:00:00 - [13] Hi : 3 x 1400 3 x 800 2 x Cruise Med : 5 x Caprechargers low : 1 Large accommodation 1 Med repair T2 2 x Kinetic hard 1 x Thermal (last slot 1600 rolled tungsten or 1 caprelay) This fitting works fine against Serpentis NPC , but is baaad against CA pilots LOL.

ElCoCo	Posted - 2004.10.15 12:01:00 - [15] Armor plate is almost a waste for npc hunting... Since you`re fighting serps try this: 6x800mm`s, 2 heavy nos* named web(helps immensly), 4 t2 caprechargers large rep,med tech2 rep,active 50% armor hardners(2kinetic,1thermal), caprelay/dmgmod/tracking comp (experiment a bit there...) Use mainly the med repairer since it has a better repair/capuse ratio and occasionaly fire the large. Most serps are shortrange, but if you want to cover all aspects, put a mwd on in the place of a caprecharger (and change lowslots for the extra grid needed- 1pdu with engineering5 if I remember) Some named stuff might be needed due to CPU, I`m not home atm to check. The downside.... Prepare to spend several rounds of ammo... Phased plasma works best against serpentis. *for the nosferatus... npc`s(besides 1-2 exceptions) have at most 450 power each that you can drain and npc frigs have even less, so you need to switch targets every few seconds... or just put 1 nosferatu off and a siege launcher on to kill the frigs with. Enjoy

SILK EXIDE	Posted - 2004.10.15 16:35:00 - [17] I have been using the following setup for months... I can handle all Gurista BS spawns solo in 0.0 unless they come as 3xBS with 3 plus Cruiser support or ceptors...and that is without warp out .. HI SLOTS.. 6x 800mm 2x Seige launchers MED SLOTS.. 1x MWD 3x Tech 2 cap rechargers 1x webber.. preferably named LOW SLOTS.. 1x Carapace Large Armour Repairer 3x armour hardeners.. for guiristas 2x kin..1x therm 1x Cap power relay 1x Gyro 2 I use phased plasma for between 5km to 30km... and under 15km emp does great dmg.. If you let all the npcs fully target you i.e 2 red blocks on scanner then drones released dont get killed and you can use them to take out ceptors and frigs without having to web them .. Cruise or torps in the launchers for extra kill speed or multi ceptor take outs at once are good .. The key is to take out the frigs/ceptors/cruisers before going for the BSs as they are the real dmg dealers as being webbed/scrambled can block your escape if needed.. SILK EXIDE INTG Corp Co CEO

ElCoCo	Posted - 2004.10.15 18:07:00 - [19] Against Guristas, Titanium Sabot might the best choice of ammo. Almost as good as EMP against shields, a tad better against armor (fusion is best for armor), cheaper to build , less optimal range penalty and you can carry more (volume 0.065 instead of 0.1 )
