I'm far too lazy to sift through all the fleet tempest whines to find out if someone already mentioned this:
The 7th turret now makes the fleet Tempest superior to the Maelstrom and the Vargur in terms of dps with autocannons and artilleries too if you stop for a moment and remember you can still fit a 5 midslot shield tank + damage mods and a power grid mod in the lows.
It shouldn't be something to cry about that you have to use grid mods to fit 1400s. You can't fit T2 Tachyons on the Navy Geddon or Apoc without grid mods. Hell, you can't even fit them on an Abaddon with skills alone. Last time I checked, you can fit a full rack of T2 1400s on a Maelstrom, no grid mods needed.
For anyone who says "but that's only fair because artillery sucks and Minny battleships should have the heaviest artillery to compensate!", well that's a problem with artillery sucking, not these ships. -- Eventus stultorum magister. |

Originally by: Ulstan Remember that is FW LP only. You really can't compare the two, as it's much easier to earn masses of LP's via high sec L4's than from missions in low sec that make you jump through 19 low sec systems full of wartargets per mission.
I can't wait to circumvent the whole system by buying a navy geddon and scorpion off the players who will exploit FW LP for profit. -- Eventus stultorum magister. |

How do you plan to fit a good shield tank with only 5 mid slots? -1 for cap injector -1 for warp disruptor or jammer -1 for shield booster -1 for shield boost amp -1 invu ?
You call this a good shield tank?
Since you made it up on the fly, I'd call it a terrible shield tank.
I'm sorry, I should have anticipated that you'd use an active shield tank for PVP on a ship that's not built to active tank. You play to the ship's strengths(high hitpoints!) and buffertank it with a mwd. Get a gangmate in an inty with a high scan resolution to do the tackling.
The only time it would be worth active tanking is in pve running missions which makes it easy to tank:
Mids: 1 x XL SB 3 x Hardeners of choice 1 x Cap Recharger
Lows: 1 x Dmg Control 3 x Gyrostabs 2 x Cap Flux coils
Rigs: 3 x CCC
Ta-da! -- Eventus stultorum magister. |

Maybe this is a good missions setup i dont know. I would use fleet pest for pvp not for missions. I assume the marauders do missions better as it has 3 utility slots for tractor beams and salvagers, and it has bigger cargo to store it all.
As for pvp fit, i find your setup horrible. Only place for this ship to fight is in 0.0 and you cant use it in low sec. Even then i dont like the setup. and ccc rigs on a pvp ship?
You're a bit dim, aren't you?
I specifically posted that fit as a PVE fit, not a PVP fit. I said you BUFFERTANK FOR PVP IF YOU HAVE A SHIP WITH HIGH HITPOINTS LIKE A FLEET TEMPEST. You want a fleet Tempest PVP fit?
Mids: 2 x Large Shield Extender 2 x Invulnerability field 1 x MWD
Lows 1 x Damage control 3 x Gyrostab
2 x Power grid mods if you're fitting 1400 arties OR 2 x Tracking enhancers for the autocannons.
Rigs 3 x Core defence field extenders -- Eventus stultorum magister. |

Originally by: Lindsay Logan Kind of bad fit, really. Neut it up, and add a point as well. with 8 slots it should have a point.
With the low scan resolution of a battleship, it should not have a point. Leave the tackling to frigs and cruisers. -- Eventus stultorum magister. |
