Man I would like to fight some of the scorp set ups in this thread. tanking in a scorp.. bah!

A scorp is an ECM boat, thats what should be the main focus of the ship.

Theres two ways to go about the scorp. In a fleet battle, you can probaly get away with having 1 shield booster and all the rest ECM. You need high skills to run this set up but it should be possible. In the low slots just throw in PDU's.

In terms of what jammers you should be using, do not use multispectrum II jammers. On a scorp, throw in racial jammers and this way when you put the jammer on someone you know they will be jammed. Also, signal dispersion 4 and at least caldari BS lvl 4 is a must for being an effective scorp pilot. This way you have a jammer strength of 10. Dont worry about high slots too much in a scorp, nosferatu and drones are your friends for getting rid of tacklers.

Part 2:

When dealing with small engagements when you are definitely going to be called primary, sensor boosters are your absolute friend. Since your mid slots are all jammers except for your shield booster, you are not going to be able to tank very well. Therefore its imperative that you lock and jam your enemies before they lock and wtfpwn you. Its also very important if you are fighting another scorp. If the scorp locks u first, its bye bye time. I've lost one scorp so far in pvp and that was to another scorp because he had more tech II sensor booster than I did.

Overall a safe pvp set up to fly around in for a scorp would be for the mid slots: 2 tech II sensor boosters, 5 Racial jammers, or 4 racial jammers and a multispec, and one X-large clarity or Cl-5 emergency shield boost.

Fleet Setup my main uses.

Up top:
2 x Cruise Launchers
2 x Heavy lanuchers
2 x Heavy NOS

Mids:
1 x Sensor Booster II
2 x Caladri Jammers
1 x Amarr Jammer
1 x Min. Jammer
1 x Gall. Jammer
2 x Mulit. spec

Down below:
1 x 1600mm plate (nice named one if you feel rich)
1 x Large Armour Repair II
1 x WCS or Nanofibre
1 x Cap relay


Heavy / medium / light drones

Yes its out a gimped damage output but its got just under 10K in armour and can repair 800 per cycle. For some reason I get called primary lots?!


Am I missing something with all this use of ECM-Multis? Why not use the better racial jammers with a few backup multi hjammers instead of all multis which can "hit" more types but less often ?

alot of people are wasting with a/b's and such,

try out

3nos
3cruise

4racial [one each] + 1 extra gravo [incase of scorp vs scorp] xl booster, ew hardner. you can drop the extra for a jammer, and the hardener for a webbie if you want, another good one is drop the hardener for a dampener. also a T2 cap recharge.

3pdu 2's and a ballistic

6 heavy drones

you can take out ravens with this, any ship under that as well, only trouble will be a apoc setup right, a blasta if you keeps a lock on you, and maybe some other well setup ships, but as a ship not entirely meant for solo BS destruction you should be set, and you can jam anyone if you gotta get out, down with multi's imho.

Secondly, the use of multispecs instead of racial jammers,
You may not know what target you are up against and then you want to fit something that can take out just about anything, looking at the setup i posted previously i use LESS mid slots for jamming and i get over 22 points, and 22 is the MAX points a battleship use (cruisers, frigs etc use LESS than a battleship so they are screwed too)

How come in a fleet set-up most of the fittings I see do not have dampeners? I see all of the jammers and the boosters to get the range ya need.
