With the new arty alpha boost how long do you think it will take before the major trade hub undocks are full with them?
i just did a little EFT warrioring and you can get a whooping 10k alpha

I would with minmatar battleship L5 as the 25% damage bonus would cancel out the extra damage from 2 more guns... And tempest would be a smaller loss isk wise.

So, what you're telling me is that ONLY battleship pilots with Matari BS 5 will be able to make use of the Tempest, otherwise the Maelstrom does more DPS/Alpha?

right because when you have a chance of making some serious bank, the marginal isk loss on a BS hull makes a difference, right? |

The extra dps and the isk difference do make a difference. Why pay for more turrets and a L3 BS when it's not just unnecessary, but takes longer to get the job done? How fast you accomplish your goal matters, too.

Your numbers are way off, its possible to get 15k alpha using a machariel or maelstrom, havent checked a tempest yet. Signature needs to be more EVE related. Zymurgist |

the tempest is more cost effective, it only has 6 turrets but it gets a damage bonus rather than a ROF bonus. the mael might as well have unbonused guns. the ROF bonus is useless really because your going to want to alpha the target. ROF doesnt matter then its somewhere around 30 s . if yo plan it right you can alpha ships with concord sitting right next to them because its only the first shot that counts, you get slightly less DPS witht the tempest, but much better alpha
also, use hail if tracking isnt an issue. or domination(better alpha than RF)

ITT: People fail at maths. Maelstrom does more turret alpha than the Tempest despite not having a damage bonus 8x1 = 8 effective turrets. 6x1.25 = 7.5 effective turrets.
Although I guess you get two unbonused siege launchers on the Tempest, if thats what you meant.

Yeah, but I would assume people would have already guessed you can use the last 2 slots for other fun stuff.

Because of course people that can't pilot a Tempest with Matari BS V can obviously use a Maelstrom with Lev 5 stats.

Some gankers want to keep the cost right down, some are willing to pay a bit more to ensure the job is done, or on harder jobs.

I've been wondering about something.
What would happen if you sat near that undock, aligned and at speed towards a planet.
You then one-volley a hauler, and instawarp to the planet, waiting for you there is an alt or a buddy that can ALSO fly the tempest.
Immediately after landing on top of the capsule of your waiting friend, you eject from the ship. Your buddy then boards the ship immediately as well.
Would it be possible to keep the ship from being concorded this way?

I'm pretty sure avoiding concord is considered an exploit. Maybe I'm making that up in my head...I can't remember anymore

Confirming 6 * 1.25 > 8
Also, ISK loss is negligible, hulls are still free with insurance, last I checked.

the tengu will be moving away from the undock so transversal will be 0 if you sit infront of it, and the tengu will most likely use active hardeners which will be off when he undocks....so yea 2-4 tempests could do it with emp i think.
If you dont believe me, just have a look through some nightmare losses, people instapop them in highsec with 7-10 ravens easily

Concord spawns everytime you come out of warp- if you have an infinite amount of safe spots (and a fast aligning ship) you can evade them till you get bored (or unlucky). Reuse one of those safe spots and you will find concord waiting for you there. Stay in one spot a second too long and they scram you before you can go to warp.
The eject and have a buddy get into it is an interesting proposal. If i had to bet one of two things are applicable. 1. it cant be completed in time- concord will always kill your ship before your buddy can get into it 2. Concord has the ship marked for death- ownership at that point is irrelevent

IF a ship is being targeted while it is empty, only the owner of the ship (read: last person in it) can board it.
Concord will insta-target your ship the moment it drops out of warp. You will eject, and your buddy will not be able to board.
And of course, anything you board for the next 15mins will be popped. ♥

with 2 cn invluns and a cn photon a tengu has just under 28k ehp against republic fleet emp. if the hardeners aren't on he will have just over 15k ehp. assuming the pretty cookie cutter active tanked setup, as them pithum boosters is good isk. You're posting again!? Has it really been 5 mins?

Well, instead of hopping into a pod with your main, you could hop into a shuttle that has been prepared at the point where you come out of warp.
The shuttle gets blown up by CONCORD. You have not evaded CONCORD, thus no exploit.
