I was making a new setup for my deimos when I saw a guy say on this forum its possible to get 750+ DPS...

Well I have my deimos for like 2 months now.. got hac lvl 5 and medium blaster spec lvl 4 but 750+ dps? I think I dont even get that with 5 tech II Heavy neutron blasters 2 rcu II and 4 damage mods ( max damage setup ). Can somebody enlighten me how this could be possible?

I've never run the calculations myself - what DPS do you get with the above setup? Have you factored in drones? I myself fought a Deimos on Sisi with a maximum-damage setup using my more rounded Electron II setup (posted somewhere here I think), and he won by a single volley. I don't think he had an MWD fitted either, so it wasn't very suitable for general TQ fighting.

Hammerheads have a 2-second rate-of-fire, so you have to divide 180 by 2 to get the real figure-per-second: 90 DPS on the drones (provided you can fly ten at a time i.e. Interfacing V, with Heavy Drone V as well - not something many people can be bothered to get).

As for the guns - that's an interesting way of doing it - most people take (Damage Mod (when fitted) * Damage of Ammo * Number Of Guns)/Rate-Of-Fire (when fitted). For example, I use Electron IIs with two Mag-Stabs IIs - if I remember correctly giving (with SS V, M Hybrid IV and HAS V) a 6.0x damage modifier, with a 1.78 ROF and antimatter gives 24 total points of damage i.e.

GUNS = (6.0 * 24 * 5)/(1.78) = 404.5 DPS
DRONES = 90 (for arguments sake)
TOTAL = 494.5 DPS

Ehm that 400 dps was from electrons and 2x mag field. ( quite a different setup from yours )

Of the battleships I have killed in mine, it's always due to the fact that I want to kill them. I often spend some time using the scanner to figure out what they're flying, how they're flying it and what weapon systems they might be using. Only if I'm absolutely sure I can take them down do I engage - a Deimos is a rather expensive piece of equipment to lose.

The best things to kill are long-range Apocs and Mega-Ts, Armageddons - pretty much anything that doesn't rely on close-range or capacitor weapons to take down their enemy.
