Either fit an active tank, or a buffer tank. don't mix the two.

For soloing it's allowable because it saves you from having to dock after every fight.

For 9/10 ships in EVE I agree. I believe the Pilgrim, with a cloak and the ability to TD turret ships is perhaps one of 2 or 3 exceptions to that otherwise excellent rule.
Also, all you "lose" by fitting the MAR II is a TINY bit of cap stability (-1 rig, egress) and a TINY bit of resistance (-1 EANM) that is already stacking penalized.
In exchange, you get a ~200 dps tank and ability to clean up after fights.

The point is that a Dual tank is less efficient than a focused tank
if your gonna fit an active tank, your better off fitting a resistance mod and giving your active tank a chance. you need your modules to work together. Rep+resistance mod > Rep + Extra buffer.
otherwise go full buffer and deal with needing repairs.

You're missing the point. Obviously focusing on one would be more efficient. Nobody is going to dispute that. But he already has 2 resist mods, if you're planning on going solo for a long period of time the small gain from fitting a third is far outweighed by not having to try to dock in hostile stations.

Vidi check the ehp with and without the MAR. You don't lose much for the ability to rep. A pilgrim is the wrong ship if you need a massive buffer

And with 800 charges you can actually run the repper in a fight. Not much granted, but it can tank about 150 DPS, which is 150 DPS less you need to survive on top of the target being neuted, scrammed and tracking disrupted.

It's also a timing issue. A single MAR II isn't going to give you a ton of DPS. If it takes you one minute to chew through your oponents tank, and your oponent is chewing through the DPS your MAR provides in less than a minute you're toast. If putting on the plate gives you enough buffer to survive that minute with the MAR turned on you've just changed a losing fight to a winning fight. Plus as mentioned above you have the ability to self repair while solo in hostile space.

You said that really really weirdly.
What I think you meant to say is that a Pilgrim fight usually is 1v1 and fairly slow -- you are chewing on your opponent with drones. The MAR allows you to (yes slowly) rep up during the entire fight, where a buffer is gone once its gone. A buffer is better if you expect to be primary by 5 ships at once. But a Pilgrim is not meant to be used 5 v 1 or even 5 v 5. A pilgrim is meant to be used 1v1 or 1v2 or 2v2.

It's solid to run a buffer + MAR on a pilgrim, simply because you're running a 'suppression' fit - you don't need to survive indefinitely, only until they're capped out, but at which point their DPS won't _stop_ it'll just ... slow down a lot.
Which means being able to buffer until that happens, and active tank after has you on a winner.

Couldnt have said it better myself, Pilgrim is one of those ships that actually do benifit from a buffer/active tank set-up.

Dual tank is best for Pilgrim. 1 rep allows you to tank his drones till you kill them off, buffer tanks gun damage until you're in your optimal range.

xxxak : I think that if you remove the Medium Armor Repairer II to fit a Centii/Corpii C-Type Small Armor Repairer instead, you'll be able to drop the ACR rig and you won't lose a lot of HPs repaired per second. -- Erik |

2 Small and a Medium Neut is a total waste. The argument that using 2 smalls to make sure your opponents cap is drained every 3 seconds, thus negating natural recharge, is entirely valid.
HOWEVER
2 Medium and a Small will perform the exact same function and drain a lot more cap to boot. By activating a Medium (12 sec cycle time) followed 3 secs later by the small ( 6 second cycle time) and then 3 seconds later the second medium you will see that a neutralizer is still cycling every 3 seconds. The only reason to fit 2 small and a medium is if you can't figure out a way of getting 2 medium and small on. Dropping down to 2 smalls simply in order to swap an ACR rig for something else isn't even close to a good enough reason.

That's what I have been using for ages. It works nicely for solo hunting

Im not sure why do u use egress rigs when in conjunction with large batt u can more efficiently use medium semiconductor memory cells or just plain CCCs. And why that Co-proc II?

Because cloak uses 100 CPU when you don't have Recon V? ----- Why doesn't anyone ever read the forums before posting? EVE is a game of adaptation and planning. Adapt or die. |

Don't fit CPU upgrades on a Pilgrim unless you want to fit an Expanded Probe Launcher and don't have Recon V yet. Swap out one EANM for an Adaptive Nano Plating and you can swap out the CPU upgrade for another ANP. No need for the CPU upgrade then and more HP. ------------------------ Low-sec is like sailing along the coast of Somalia...

Depending on what I am fighting I around the TD's and Point to suite the situation. Of cours eI avoid missile ships. The three medium neuts make short work of the cap of smaller, faster ships. I prefer it over the 1600 plate setup.

Edited by: Sajeera on 24/09/2009 19:18:34 The fit is good, you can downgrade the armor to 800 and fit a second MARII and 2 EANMs.
It will help with tanking the initial damage before you kill his drones and cap him out but thats just a matter of choice of course.

If you are sitting in a friendly system where docking is a option then yea you don't need a repper. However the entire point of a recon is to go make doodoo in people's yards, which makes docking a problem if you are in hostel space.
