You should be good with fitting skills but you really want AWU4 at least (5 better of course even thou you have more PG than you need with this fitting), gunnery support skills all 5 (you can skip fall off V one however) and obviously Large Hybrid Specialisation at 4 (5 is really a must have) Yes it's an expensive fit, yes requires a lot of skills so it's not really a newb fit/ship, but yes you get the hell crap out of those mobs at light speed while slow boating to next gate. You can also use set of light and sentry with raises your total dps with sentry above 1150. brb
Fronkfurter McSheebleton Inglorious Waffles 100	Posted - 2012.06.28 22:15:00 - [35] - Quote I may get burned at the stake for this, but you might have a look at the Hyperion as well. Has a bit more damage than the mega, and has a bit more GTFO ability to help you keep range. No tracking bonus, so don't let cruisers up close(or at least carry tracking scripts), but the rep bonus makes running a single rep significantly easier. Here's a decent fit: Quote: [Hyperion, mission entry] Large Armor Repairer II Armor Kinetic Hardener II Armor Thermic Hardener II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II 100MN Afterburner II Heavy Capacitor Booster II, Cap Booster 800 Tracking Computer II, Optimal Range Script Tracking Computer II, Optimal Range Script Tracking Computer II, Optimal Range Script 425mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge L 425mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge L Large Ancillary Current Router I Large Capacitor Control Circuit I Large Capacitor Control Circuit I Hobgoblin II x5 Warden I x3 Swap mag stabs for tank as needed. Might also swap a tracking comp for a sensor booster on some missions, particularly those with damps. Use the AB to get range on everything and pick it off as it approaches. The cap rigs help you recover during the dull spots, to save a few cap boosters. Triple rep Myrms are like what you'd get if you strapped a beehive to Robocop.

Roime Shiva Furnace Dead On Arrival Alliance 925	Posted - 2012.06.29 08:31:00 - [39] - Quote Ok, maybe shed some light why I think the fits are bad. Kasutra got it right: Kasutra wrote: A general idea: Low slots: Large Armor Repper, as many Magstabs as you can and as few mission-specific armor hardeners as you can get away with. Mid slots: Heavy cap booster, afterburner, tracking computers. High slots: Prototype 425mm railguns, you won't have the skills for T2 for a long, long while. Rigs: Probably Auxiliary Nano Pumps, you won't have the grid for gunnery rigs (and they'll be stacking penalized anyway). overclocking unit if you need one. Drones: I like 4 heavies + 5 lights on 125 bandwidth ships. Be aware that the Mega isn't generally considered a very good missioning ship. But the other fits use 5-8 (eight!) slots for capacitor. If you instead used 7 slots to improve your tank and damage application, you'd only need the one slot for capacitor (booster). Capacitor by itself does not help with anything, aiming for a cap stable fit results in a low damage ship with poor tank, and then you actually need the cap stability because you need to run the repper 23/7 in order to stay alive. Pump up the damage and application to reduce incoming dps faster, pump up the resists and rep rate so you only need to cycle the repper when needed. Of course, fly how you like, but minimizing capacitor-related module use is a more universal concept and learning to manage your cap properly is a valuable skill outside PVE.

Swapping out your tank for damage mods is the advanced tutorial. Welp you don't have much use of mids to kill rats when your drones kill them all and you one shot cruisers/3 or 4 shot BS, change cap rechargers for cap injectors is another story, when you've fitted 4 tank mods and everything else is dps/cap for pve with Megathrons it's not bad. DCU II 2EANP 1LAR, it's not more than needed for tank, then if some start needing mid slots to hold rats and kill them he's doing something wrong. But yep it's very interesting change cap rechargers for cap injectors, indeed brb

Cap stability or at least longevity is easier ( and likely cheaper ) to work with when missioning ( especially if you're new to battleships ) than a cap booster. But that said its not that hard to get an armour tanked Megathron cap stable without sacrificing all your dps or tank. Armour tanks in general are more suited for running continually than pulsing like a shield tank. The big problem I see with a lot of fits is being completely overtanked and lacking damage mods. All the tank in the world doesn't help you if its taking 10-15 minutes to chip down the tank of every battleship. >.>
Fronkfurter McSheebleton Inglorious Waffles 100	Posted - 2012.06.29 14:44:00 - [42] - Quote Cap boosters aren't really all that bad to work with. Pulsing works fine with a LAR, especially since they're lighter on cap usage than the equivalent shield module. I've used that hyperion fit from earlier on plenty of missions, and typically only needed about one reload worth of boosters, maybe two on harder missions. Triple rep Myrms are like what you'd get if you strapped a beehive to Robocop.

If I'm flying a Megathron I won't be AFK so I would prefer DPS over tank. Is the AB needed to maintain range or just make going from gate to gate faster?

Kusum Fawn State War Academy Caldari State 142	Posted - 2012.06.29 21:57:00 - [45] - Quote While i dont currently run a cap stable battleship in missions, i have quite a bit of experience and a lot of skills in them. the one thing that i struggled the most in missions when i was starting and had fairly low skills was the tank. being overtanked and cap stable means that i wont be losing ships due to bad choices or other things that can go wrong in a l4 mission. If i can perma tank most of the damage, and chip away at the rest, it means that i dont have to warp out and have the mission take longer or risk explodifying when those scram frigs ignore the [low skilled] drone screen. As you skill up your guns or tank you can drop cap stability but as a beginner you should start out overtanked and cap stable. Everyone who is suggesting otherwise is forgetting what its like to have low skills and inexperience in missions. As a person progresses in mission running, swapping first cap stability for gank and then tank for more gank, is the logical progression. starting with a better skilled pilots fitting as a relative noob, will not help them succeed in anything. Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

Combined with a tracking script it can clip Cruisers provided they don't get under about 20kmish. Which they shouldn't anyhow as Cruisers are pretty easy to snipe with a Mega at a distance before they can close. A Rail Mega running a tracking script can pop frigates at a sufficient distance as well.

Now as pvp ship yep it's very nice the moment you don't have to travel too much, you have tackling ships and logistics. Excellent sniper shield fitted but nothing to get a blast using it outside some situations. brb

On a serious note, this thread sounds like you don't have a clue how to go about doing your homework(missiles and shield tank on a Mega always brings out the trolls) so why not drop into Eve University for a while and learn a little bit more about how the game rolls? Or any kind of group that teaches newer players about the game because with all due respect, it sounds like you need a bit of in-depth assistance with getting to grips with Eve. The fact you came here looking to learn is a good sign. The Gaming MoD - retro to modern, console to MMO, I blog about it if it's a game and I'm interested in it. Yes, I play games other than Eve and I don't care if you think I'm wrong.
