RE: The Deimos.
4th midslot. ASSLOADS more agility.
I would then fly it.
Ishtar is fine - learn to sentry. Myrm is fine - you can field 5 heavy drones when I can fit siege launchers on my drake. Eos, well, yeah. Ok. Phobos is fine.
Personally I think Gallente ships should be the most agile, with Minmatar the fastest - being able to modify your transversal at close ranges is a very useful thing indeed and would suit blaster-boats. Putting the 'irate' into 'Pirate' |

Originally by: Aalu Aullard Deimos... If it had 4 mids, people would start fitting shield tank and rails, and its not what the ship is supposed to do.
How about:
Ions Small nos
Mwd Scram Web
Nano DCU Eanm Energized reactive Magstab 800mm RT
Collision Burst
ECM Vespas
I have no access to eft atm, so cant check the stats. But i think it was doing nicely around 2400m/s with overloaded mwd. Overloaded faction web for 15km+ web range to close in, scram to finally shutdown the targets movement. My mains skills put the dps around 450 and 30k ehp... Tank is still bit thin and needs to be careful what to engage. But im certain that this fit works better than the sluggish 1600mm RT + trimarks.
If Deimos is changed, then maybe the CPU/PG needs slight adjustment. Maybe bit more basespeed. If i remember correctly, Deimos has same speed as Sacriledge.
Actually, the biggest problem facing the Deimos is neuts. This means a cap booster is virtually a must to keep your face-melting dps running, meaning on a 3 medslot fitting you lose the web.
Now this is partially compensated by the falloff bonus allowing you to shoot Null out to web range, preventing an opponent web-kiting you completely, but the lack of agility and the presence of plates (because active tanking is a viable option right?) makes getting into any kind of effective range difficult.
For me, the solution is to power-buff its agility, to allow it to better manoeuvre in its intended range. the fourth mid to keep the web would be awesome as well though, even if it does lead to shield buffers.
Then again, we're probably not intended to shield tank the Zealot or Brutix and yet plenty of us do... Putting the 'irate' into 'Pirate' |
