Post'em if you got'em!
PvP, PvE, mining.. all of them!
Personally i'm most intrested in a PvE setup, and wondering if there is one viable for missions. Level.2's perhaps?

ive been trying this out.
7 x 125 rails (iron, anti and iridium ammo), 1 rocket launcher (defenders)
usuall med slot gear, s shield booster, sensor booster etc.
Seems pretty effective, though im not convinced the sensor booster does much. Can still lock inties in under 5 secs with or without it.

You can laugh at me, I use it for mining in 0.5-0.7.
Hi:
4x125mm Railguns (2 tungsten, 2 antimatter);
1xGatling Pulse laser (safe ammo space);
2xMining Tech 2 (as far as the cap can take it, 3 will suck your comr dry lol);
1xStd missile Launcher (pirahna light).
Med:
Small shield booster, roid scanner, cap recharge rate
Lo:
Basic Co-pro
worst case i face during mininig - 2 merlins + 5 condors
i cleared them out, but suffer some shield damage. They all spawn within 25km from me, and i have to stop mining to concentrate on fighting and safe some cap for shield boosting.
However, i would like to know how to config this comr for Rogue drones in 1.0 deadspace. I went there twice nearly died there.....damn, what a disgrace.

Is this a joke or do you really mine in your destroyer ?
The only thing I can think of is that your getting yourself used to a ship made of Paper so that you wont be ****ed when you buy your first barge

Yep, thats why I said laugh at me. I DO mining in this paper ship.
As I brew destroyer skill further, it makes me like it so much that I'll hang on it until I get my cruiser skill.
Also, if I can do lucrative stuff out of this paper ship, why not?
Hmmm, I'm thinking of putting Tech 2 stuff to this ship.....

Their just jealous you though of it first bud.
2x Mining Laser II's & a CU VaporLaser.
1x 125 Compressed, 1 x 75mm Prototype (Pluto/Iridium/AM) & a Standard Missile Launcher with Bloodclaws.
Shield booster, Tech II Shield extender & EM & Heat hardeners.
Processor.
I mine ridicolously fast & never had any problems at all with 3-4 coming at me at a time. AFAIC its the only way to get three mining lasers on the go before training cruiser, Im going to crunch the numbers on the Osprey which should be much better due to the yield but I am only 11 days old anyhoo :D

Just tried this last night. At work now so cant double check, appologise if i get a mod name wrong.
High: 7 125mm scout, 1 rocket launcher
Med: 1mn ab II, Small shield booster II, Annointed EM hardener, Named cap recharger
Low: Rail dmg mod II (magnetic something)
Has much spare cpu and uses 66/66 grid at my current skills.
Lead ammo in guns i think for about 20km optimal. ab keeps distance and all mods will run for ages. If anything does get close fire up the rockets.

I once practiced fly by tacking with a corp mate flying a corm.
For a laff he fitted a couple of nos and sucked the cap out of me as I approached him. My cap was at about 60% when I started my run, (This must of been the third or so run I made). He locked my on the approach and had me almost dry in a few seconds. My mwd runs out of juice as it starts a new cycle and I was left with nothing but interia to take me out of range. I think he got two railgun volleys in on me and I finally pulled out of range with about 40% armour left. Any missiles that hade been chasing me would have caught me a few seconds later.
Ever since I have wondered how viable a corm might be in a solo BS support role. It would be interesting to try the same experiment with a inty against a similar setup.

Gate camping setup =
High :- 7x 150mm prototype gauss guns + AM
Mids :- 2x sensorbooster II, webber, 20km disrupter
Low :- micro aux power core
General flying around looking for a fight =
High :- 7x 150mm prototype gauss guns + AM
Mids :- 20km disrupter, webber, 1X multipsec jammer, 1x galentine jammer (anti taranis grrrr)
Low :- micro aux power core
The first is normally used with support.. you can disrupt almost anything, but if you catch an inty and it fights, its toutch and go if the other guy knows what hes doing.
The seconds is for general roaming around PvP. You'll be able to decimate taranis's with this. Just lock and fire on em ASAP.. then wait till he gets in close and web/scramble/jam them..
If you listen very carefully you can almost hear the taranis pilot scream as he realises hes going to lose his inty.. and theres NOTHING he can do about it.. muuuhhahahahahha

Railguns do have flaw on swamps (>10) of close-range rogue drones......and I still do not have a solution for it.
I use gatling pulse lazer (radio s), and it does help me to eliminate some weak ones. But I do not like to mount all pulse lazer in my comr. To my surprise, all my railguns missed!!!

The afterburner will keep slower drones in rail range and so long as your tank lasts the rockets should be enough for faster ones. however, try short-range ammo and swap a mid slot for a tracking comp.

Hmmm, correct me if I'm wrong. I think AB n shield booster consume too much of the cap, & I don't think they can work together. I'll sacrifice the AB for a tracking comp.
But hey, I think rocket launcher might helps on the RoF (not sure though) cos I use std launcher with 12.75s firing rate!

You should be able to run the afterburner for a LONG time. The booster will eat up cap but you should have plenty of time before you run too low and have to warp out.
The only trouble I've had is from stationary turrets due to their range.

Looks roughly the same as me only I use 3 named miner 1 and cargo expander. I mine in an osprey now but fiting 3 miners on a ship is the best I could do when I could not fly cruiser yet (can fly raven now). If I dont fit my cormarant with that setup I usually go for:
7X 150mm prototype with Uranium charges
1x arbalast rocket launcher with ether defenders or rockets
1x small shield booster
1x afterburner
2x crap
1x something
This normally cuts through any frig out there with ease.

Smart move on using blaster with webber to compensate the disadvantage of turret gun tracking speed flaw.
However, this setting I think best in a catalyst (Gallente destry) rather than comr. May be I'm too concious about the thin armour in a comr...

Blasters have great tracking, you don't even need a webber to keep your enemy still, though it will help a bit. Put a MWD on your Corm, fit it out with lots of blasters, and use it as a mini-blasterax.

On mine with 7m SP
High - one 150mm prototype rail, 3 125mm scouts and the rest normal 125s, give or take a named gun. One rocket launcher with rockets (or defenders).
Med - small shield booster, AB, sensor booster, web for the small ships that wont get off your ass
low - rail damage mod
insane ship. I tear through frigates like it's nothing.. Finished a lv4 complex with little trouble (it took some time, however). Killed a few 90k rats, a few 50k, a 45k and a ton of ~10k rats.
Use iron ammo with the AB and you can snipe just about any cruiser NPC in the game. Keep at around 31k and they can't hit you. 20dmg per rail * 7, every 2.2 seconds. Not bad for a 1m isk ship.
Great ship.. sadly I lost mine trying to take a Blaster Thorax at close range in a complex :(
and the booster is a must. This ship has a locking range (for me) of about 34km without a booster.. my weapons were effective up to 40km with lv1 destroyer skill. Can't imagine how insane this ship would be with LV5 destroyer.

guys, this ship's strength is it's RANGE. It cannot handle very many shots.. cruisers rip the cormorant apart like it's nothing. But you can take ANY cruiser NPC in the game if you keep at range. Train the destroyer skill and use the furthest reaching guns you can fit.
35k(about, may be less. I forget) optimum range with iron on a 150
+10% = 38k
+10% = 42k
+10% = 46k
+10% = 51k
+10% = 56k
nearly 56k OPTIMUM. (this is rough, dont pick it apart please) You can hit for good shots much further. Insane tracking speed bonuses mean you can hit just about anything up to 70k depending on your gunnery skills.
it's a quick ship. AB or MWD and you can stay out of range of any cruiser in the game.

My setup (PvP) currently is (This pretty much beat an Assault Frig (he flew away when he realised he couldn't win)):
7x 125mm (all named)
1x Rocket w. Defenders
3x Sensor Dampners(switch for Cap recharger/shield boosters for PvE)
1x MWD
1x Warp Core Stabilizer
It works pretty well in a PvE situation as well (beat a Thorax the other day)

hey mahq mur try this...
train learning skills to lvl 4 atleast or go to 5 and then the advanced learning skills depending wether your in the game for the long haul or not
then train electronics/engineering lvl 5...guarantee u will be able to fit most anything u want
then train whatever u want
hint: it will be a long time before u will be usin assault frigs effectively so get good with caldari cruisers for PvE and destroyers for PvP
P.S. caldari cruiser lvl 5 I get 144units ore/miner II thats with only lvl 4 mining so its like having 6 miner II's instead of 3
A healthy setup for a cormorant I would figure to be 7 t2 125mm rails and a standard launcher or 5 t2 150mm rails 2 small nosferatu's and a standard launcher at least 1 tracking comp II, maybe a t2 or gistii shield booster, 2 cap rechargers and a magnetic stab II or PDU II in the lows but i dont fly em really

Thanks for the advice.
I recognize the fact on getting Electronics & Engineering lvl 5, it'll boost your cpu/grid usage. My priority now is a small rail specialization.
Yep, seems like I still got a long way to go before my comr really look dangerous.
I've got all that to lvl 4 already, and now is the painfully waiting time for lvl 5.
Personally, I prefer the 125mm over the 150mm for the RoF, not forgetting destroyer has 25% penalty on RoF. Of course Gunnery lvl 5 will solve this (damn! not another lvl 5 skill?).
Currently I'm only Caldari cruiser lvl 2 on my Osprey, but I can filled 4 giant cans in less than an hour, what's gong to happen if I got cruiser lvl 5? (double Damn on yet another lvl 5 skill!).
p.s. all my learning skills r at lvl 4 now, and most of the lvl 5 skills (x1 time multiply) takes about 7 days w/o any implants. I've no intension to train learning and attribute skill to lvl 5 cos look kinda stupid on wasting my 6 weeks subscription on these.

After going over the 16mil SP threshold you really dont look at the training times ne more. You think what you want and what will be most useful. Currently I have almost all engineering and electronics skills to lvl 5. Including Tactical shield manipulation lvl 5 which was the latest and greatest training time

I'm looking for a nice setup that will take care of them irritating 4000mps inties that stay out of webby range and use 20kms scramblers. I want them to die before they realize they're being hit and warp out.
Was thinking something along the lines of 7 150's and 4 tracking comps. Would a) the commorant's cpu allow this and b) this setup be as effective as I hope it to be?

My suggestion to the original poster is create a setup that is completely your own like Lythos' second setup here. It is the only setup in this thread that my standard setup on my Taranis does not automatically counter in some way. I can't even remember how many Cormorants I've killed solo with my Taranis. IMHO you should find something that works and keep it to yourself

omfg! I'm just a little over 1mil SP 
And do you still do kill mission during the long training time? I'm damn worry about losing any ship for those stupid mission cos then I'll have to do crazy mining for 2 days to get back what I've lost.

Hi Slot
7 x 125mm Carbide Rails
1 x Limo's Launcher
Med Slot
2 x (I'm not sure what they are called) Kenetic Dampeners?
1 x AB
1 x Small Shield Booster
Low Slots
1 x Type E diagnostics system (SP?) I'm not sure about this one...
So hows that.. I didn't think too bad since this is only meh 16 day
BTW I only got I think 300k skill points

If anyone still cares about this thread, use a Cap Booster with 3x 100 Charges. It owns. MWD's can go on for as long as you want (I know this was a big problem, when I was a noob)

If anyone still cares about this thread, use a Cap Booster with 3x 100 Charges. It owns. MWD's can go on for as long as you want (I know this was a big problem, when I was a noob)
Mwd hurt the accuracy of railguns. As far as I concerned, I'll utilize mid-slot to extend my shield HP, and rain the rats with all my railguns. The faster the rat dies, the higher the surviving chance I have.
Sad to say, comr is not fit for draggy warfare.

If you wan't to take down drones. I would suggest you try out with couple of Small tech 2 plasma smartbombs. But you have to be carefull or you might end up travelling in a pod.

Thats why I'll leave this skill alone until I can fight in 0.0
But I found fitting 2x t2 neutron blaster will be able to handle the drones well, thx to the tracking speed.

my setup for a cormorant, even though i rarely use it is the following,
Hi:
7x125mm rails (antimatter)
1x assualt launcher (deffenders)
For the turrets they deal more dammage plus the added factor of antimatter, track speed really dosn't mater in this case cause of a webber which will be installed. The assualt is the fasstest small missle launcher, so use it for deffenders in case a frig fires one at ya.
Med:
1xNormal webber or named
1x1mn Afterburner or 1mn MWD
1xSmall armor repairer
1xSmall sheild booster
So what if your grid cant hanndle this setup, raise your skills that boost you powergrid output and leave moduals that arnt being used at the time offline. The webber helps to keep the sppedy swarm around you nice and slow for the turrets to blast away at.
Small:
Possibly 1x nammed weapon mod or what evr the hell ya want. And dont ***** at this setup, it works if you know how to use it.

New Patch requires new setups!
-High-
4x Small Named NoS
4x 75m II (Just playing with)
-Medium-
1x AB II (Might go MWD, Havn't tried)
2x ECM - MultiJammer I or II (High EW required)
1x Named WS
-Low-
Power Diagnostic II
Setup pretty much rocks cept for speed. Affraid to do MWD but going to try tomorrow. The NoS's really do a lot with helping run most of the eletronic platform. It's designed to solo support the Multi-Jammers, but do to the new EW. You get a lot of jams just cycling threw 1 ECM. However, it's not made to solo jam forever. Just long enough to put down the victim. Worked good on a number of cruisers tonight. Can't beat 211.8 vampiric energy every 20 seconds (ECM Cycles). So if you don't cripple your opponent with the ECM, you will with the NoS. Only flaw is like I said, not capping 500+600m/s.

Forget about the afterburners and mwd's for pvp, your Cormorant can't catch anything unless the target makes a mistake.
Basic anti-frig/inty setup:
HI: 7x 125mm rails, 1x rocket launcher
MED: 2x webbys, 1x 7.5km scrambler, 1x T2 shield booster
LOW: damage mod
One webby is not enough to slow down a fast inty, it can still escape if it has mwd, but you could try to fit one EW and a sig amp in the low slot. No use changing the rocket launcher for a standard missile launcher, since if the target is over 10km away from you, you can't web it so light missiles can't catch it. Rocket launcher also has better DOT.
EDIT: Haven't really thought about blasters but they could work if the target is brave enough to come close enough, but then you have no countermeasure to a Crow pilot orbiting 20km from you |

For lvl 2 missions when i feel like flying it:
7x 125mm Rail IIs with Iridium, 1 arbalest std launcher
1 small shield booster II, 2 named passive hardeners depending on NPC type, 1 cap recharger II
1 magnetic field stabilizer II
As for a full rack of 150mm IIs, its possible but it totally gimps it, we need MAPC IIs for it to fit em, it leaves about 4 grid with MAPC engi 5 and 7 150mm IIs...so u can say fit a small shield booster II and a rocket launcher...with 3 slots left heh.

since I just lost my first destroyer I thought I'd add my now revised setup for general poking arround /agent lvl 2 missions.
high slots:
7*125 Railgun (scout/compressed coil, loaded with Tungsten for range)
1* 5200 Rocket launcher(with Defender missiles)
medium slots:
1 MN AB I
Small shield Booster I
Magnetic Scattering amplifer I (to increase shield EM-resistance)
and this is the revision : Langour Drive distruptor I (Webifier).
Low slot:
Power diagnostic System I (this one I will probably exchange once my engineering reaches lvl 4 and I find something better and more useful)
(reason of not using TECH II is that I am 2 weeks into the game.)
The story behind the loss of my ship: ("Si Dis Placet": Latin for "If the gods are willing")
it was a normal rogue drone infestation mission (lvl2). I warp in, and target the 4 nearest enemies, somehow missing a drone even closer. My 7 railguns pound away, until I notice shields taking damage. So I target the new enemy and activate my afterburner, trying to leave him behind (400 m/s is ok for a guy in his 13th day into the game). The drone keep circling me, firing his puny weapon. Despite redirecting everything I have to firing against him I don't hit ****(125MMs have poor Tracking speed, and at 600m there's no chance I will hit him). Since he is 10x faster I cannot outrun him subspace. Chuckling softly to myself I try to warp to the nearest station. "Uhm, why didn't that work?", I ask myself. "Hey, did that box just say something about warm scrambling?". This is not good. I had just removed my warp descrambler. "I am soooo ******!". *booom*
:P
So keep a webifier or a warp descrambler (preferably of level 2).

Well this is a little off topic, but if you're mining in the Osprey you might as well mine in the Moa. Here's my set up and it works solo mining in 0.5 no problem.
Hi:
2 x heavy missile launchers (any will do)
4 x Miner II
Mid:
1 x medium sh. booster
1 x medium sh. extender
1 x 10 MWD
Low:
4 x CPU II
With an additional drone bay of 3 basic mining drones this set up works just as well as a small mining barge with a lot more sting to it. I can even kill rats without stopping the mining :) (Just call in the drones). Note: the mid slots might not be totally accurate, I'm at work atm so I don't recall exactly the sh. setup.

High:
7x 125mm Prototype Gauss Gun (or any other named gun)
1x rocket launcher with defender
Med:
2x Small Cap Booster IIs fitted with 150 Cap Booster Charges (fit 2 in each)
1x Medium Converse I Deflection Catalyzer*
1x X5 Engine Enervator (or any other named webber)
Small:
1x Micro Aux Power Core
*Had this for a long time but then replaced with Medium Shield Booster II when finished training the skill
With this setup, I was taking out 100k rats solo... You can play with the high slots, but as for low and med, for me this has proven to be the best PVE setup. In PVP, its deadly vs frigs, however assault frigs were still taking me out :(
PS Forgot to add: the only minus however is that I had to train Electronics and Engineering both to level 5 to get this setup fitted.

It is a tight squeeze and dont even apply if you havent got top notch fitting skill but it is NASTY.

I have been playing 1 week and I currently use:
1 x Miner II
3 x ES Gaussian
1 x Small Rocket Launcher
Have mining 4 (obviously) and nothing much else. I get 222m3.
I am going to try replace the 3 Gaussians with CU's, and bump that to 246m3.
I either do solo cycles, while training up Caldari Industrial so I can use the Badger II that I was donated (will have 3 cargo mods on it) for mass hauling. Or I mine with a friend who has a similar transport (can't recall the name).
Between us, in 0.7-1.0 space, we can make around 1.5mil an hour (he uses a small frigate with twin mining lasers while we fill a container). Not too bad for 1-week old newbies. :P

Thats why the comorant has those lovely shields :p
No kidding. I was on a routine run to pick up some stuff I bought and my Cormy went through a camped gate in 0.3 space. I don't know why I wasn't webbed/jammed/locked down, but I managed to warp out with 25% armor against 2 BS campers (one might have been sa cruiser, didn't stop to look! :D).
Clearly, my shields helped keep me alive long enough to finish orienting into warp.
My Cormorant is set up for a 15k optimum range right now, as follows.
High: 7x 125mm Railgun I (Iron ammo), Std Missle Launcher I (Piranhas)
Medium : Basic Explosive & Kinetic Shield Hardeners, Small Shield Extender I, Small Shield Booster I
Low: Nanofiber Hull Mod I
Generally speaking, I try to warp into encounters at 20 Km, lock my targets, and set Keep distance. Level 1 kill missions are a cinch. For level 2 missions I will swap defenders, since there are more missle rats in those. Sure, it's not as fast as an AB or MWD setup, and most frigs/drones will get in close after a bit but I try to tackle smaller groups first and focus the missles on anything that is gaining fast. Not a useful PvP setup, but it's what I got for right now.
Anyhow, ymmv, I let this character sit idle for a long time and am looking at getting back into things. As an alternative, I may replace 2 125mm rails with the 2 light ion blasters currently still on my Merlin, so that i have some point defense when things get too close..
(edit: Typo city, didn't preview it. :D

How do you get this kind of range? I'm thinking it's my newb skills (6days played so far), but thats a huge difference to my 16k optimum range. I've got normal 125mms equiped

I still keep a cormorant around as a run about, its basically a rocketlauncher(defenders just in case) a 10 mn ab, and what ever nanofiber mod you like, now before you start laughing histerically, it will do 750+ m/s, and works perfectly for going 5-15 jumps

Running this EW platform is pretty fun. Took it out to 0.0 and had a alot of close range inty's tackle me solo with it. Course, once they realized they were target jammed. It was over. Tactics need apply!

well i dont know about mining in the cormemnt but one thing i do know is i fly em all time for pvp or even pve i have experiment alot with it this is my main setup
high's = 7x 125mm Compressed coils or (prototype gauss) with animattar or iridium ammo
= Expensive One 7x 125mm rails t2
= 1x normal Laucnher or Rocet launcher with defenders and missiles of ur like in
Meduims = 1x AB
mult spec (jammer)
Webber
target painter
lows = T2 dam mod (for the guns)
yes i know there is no shield boostin etc this is and all out fight who gets fire first wins and normal i do bc with the ird amo and at 20km range and jammin i fire first and blowen away then to finshed it off i send a missile up there asssss but to fight those ceptors well i change to anitmatter and web them at 10km and jammin and i blow them in like 2 secs with the the target painter running on them i do damage around 80 - 100 damage with rails lvl5 and special ones at lvl3 now if i used 125mm rails t2 guns i do more damage this is a frig and ceptor killin machine i have tried in on AF (Assualt Frigs) and let me tell u this if they are setup poorly i blow them away. Normal one volly of ur guns takes the shields down and i jammin for 18 secs so by time the jammin comes off there well into armor and about to hit strucutre
if u need to contact me and talk about it convo me or mail me in eve ( marcuis)
there is one distavnage i dont like about it is that the cormemnt is the slowest of the dessy i hope they improve the speed of the dessy

Low
PDU/MAPC (basically whatever you need to get all that working)
If you have some backup, i.e. somebody there to tackle for you, then dump the Disruptors and stick a Target Painter and something else in. I use a Sensor Booster cos I like the glow

Cormo's own with gatecamps, this setup is purely ment to catch ceptors/pods/****tles trying to run past a gatecamp, it will lock them in just under a second [altho it takes the client about half a sec to a sec to actually target a ship after the timer reached 0 :( :( ]
Highs: whatever
Mids: 3 * Sensor Booster II
Lows: Whatever
I currently have
7 * 150MM
3 * SB II
1 * 20 disruptor
1 * MAPC
I could also take 125's and a 400 mm plate instead of the MAPC, giving 1100 armor.
I tried an autotargetter, but they simply dont work at all, they dont even target people that you have set at -10, instead I went for a rocket launcher [I am 0.75 PG short for a std launcher or a NOS :(]

As me and my friends just started playing we are all getting destroyers. One of my friends specialized and got the Badger MK2. How we work is that one of us plays the defender in the mining operation. The rest go pure mining lasers. For instance, my destoyer currently has 5 lasers on it that reaps in 1500+ a minute. The other destroyer mines at a decent rate, not close to mine, and then the Badger mK2 as well. All in all we can fill the thing in half an hour. Any pirates are dealt with by the fight geared destroyer.
As for combat, my skills only allow 6x 150's at the moment (compressed) but time and money should put that to 7x of the protos. I know it's not the ideal thing to use for mining, but I don't have the fething skills or money to do better. The main bonus of the Caldari varient IS that it has so much processing power, why let it go to waste?

And... 8 Mining drones (tech 2 or harvester preferably :))
I currently have Cruiser 4, and my god.. this pulls in crazy amounts of ore. You will need to stagger your lasers I believe or your cargo will fill too fast after 1 cycle.
As for a cormorant.
4 Mining lasers + 4 railguns or small lasers took care of any rats I had bothering me, and mined roids like nobodies business when I was back in the frigate skills only stage.

i lvoe this rig, it lacks tii cus i had most f this lying around in my hangar. i have taken on a 4/10 drone complex with this rig (it took hours but i manged it) i use fof in the launcher cus im too lazy to target them pesky drones. antimatter in the guns, ab in, turn it off and use the shield boster. if they are too strong turn around and fly off. they follow you, and if the ab is on are slower, reduce the speed and take them 1 by 1.

In pvp put nothing on med slots but sensor booster, yeah thats right 4 of them.
Logic is simple.
- If anything does not blow up in 2-3 volleys you are dead anyway
- Time advantage is crucial. Both for catching enemy which flees and engaging fist on enemy who attacks
- With 4 boosters your lock is near instant, about 1 sec on a shuttle. If you dont have boosters, its can be 3-5 seconds.
- Which is 1 extra volley or if enemy tries to retreat it maybe the only volley you can do.
- Webs, scrams and other gear has no value. because small stuff will die before they can warp and if they are strong you are dead.

Bit of a n00b here, but here's mine:
4 150mm Gauss
1 Launcher w/rockets
3 125mm autocannons of various types that i picked up
shield boost
ship scanner
passive targeter
Rips through AI easily enough, but I'm still such a n00b on the skill tree, so i stick to 0.4 and above.
I've happened upon 4 280mm Howitzers, as well, and am curious as to y'all's thoughts regarding the pros/cons of those weapons. I'm also considering switching back to a standard missile launcher with sabretooths.
Suggestions, rips, fun at my expense expected anxiously!

Unless a lot has changed since I deployed to and returned from Iraq, an Osprey will out mine a Med Mining barge (or mine just as well) and def out mine a Moa. The Osprey has a bonus for mining (20% per laser per lvl) and is cheaper to buy than a Moa. You also can get into an Osprey (cruiser lvl 1) quicker skills wise than a Moa (cruiser lvl 3). Keep your drones handy and some missiles (heavy or light depending on local npc rats) either in limited supply in your cargo hold or throw them in a nearby anchored secure can (to save cargo space for ore) until you need to reload.
Granted, you will need Miner II's and cruiser 4 to out mine that med barge, but it will do it. At the time, I only had mining 4 and astrogeology 4 along with cruiser 4.
Originally by: Orthud Mor
Well this is a little off topic, but if you're mining in the Osprey you might as well mine in the Moa. Here's my set up and it works solo mining in 0.5 no problem.
Hi:
2 x heavy missile launchers (any will do)
4 x Miner II
Mid:
1 x medium sh. booster
1 x medium sh. extender
1 x 10 MWD
Low:
4 x CPU II
With an additional drone bay of 3 basic mining drones this set up works just as well as a small mining barge with a lot more sting to it. I can even kill rats without stopping the mining :) (Just call in the drones). Note: the mid slots might not be totally accurate, I'm at work atm so I don't recall exactly the sh. setup.
back on topic, i am reading this with great intrest. after being out of the game for a while, it is almost like a new game. I am just thankful i had a friend and my wife keep my training going for me. I am finding that this little ship (destroyer) packs a bit more punch than i remember...was it buffed some in recent patch?

Ok I was playing and as a heavy ish tackler I came up with
Highs
4x Light Electron Blasters
4x Small Nos
Mids
1x MWD
1x Warp Scrambler, (20k/7.5k)
1x Webber
1x ECM/Remote Sensor Damp/ Webber
Lows
1x Nanofibre
I did try the ECM, however found it pretty useless and a major cap drain, so opted for a 2nd web. The Damp, well tbh only usefull for slowing lock times, as by the time your actually in range, the damp wont have much effect. Having said that a group with alternate Damp/Web's in that fourth slot should be good.
With the the nos's and the 2x web, mwd, and warp scram, I can run my cap fine for a long while.
Nims
99% of the above is said in RP. The Other 1% is personal, and should be taken that way. :P

For missions and ratting:
6x150mm Scout Rail Guns with Iridium ammo
1xRocket Launcher with Defender Missiles
1xAB
1xShield Booster
2xCap Recharger
Micro Aux Power Core
Keep the rats at 24km or so (Destroyer skill at III, most gunnery skills at III) and rip them up. You can kill many rat frigs in 2 volleys.

My setup (PvP) currently is (This pretty much beat an Assault Frig (he flew away when he realised he couldn't win)):
7x 125mm (all named)
1x Rocket w. Defenders
3x Sensor Dampners(switch for Cap recharger/shield boosters for PvE)
1x MWD
1x Warp Core Stabilizer
It works pretty well in a PvE situation as well (beat a Thorax the other day)
How did you pull this off? Sensor dampeners aren't supposed to stack, not mention the insane cap drain.

From the top of my head, mine is currently fitted this way, for missions and rat hunting in 0.5-0.7:
Hi:
- 5 150mm's (mixed named) with Iridium
- 2 75mm's with Iridium
- Standard Missile Launcher
Mid:
- 1MN AB
- Shield Booster
- Prototype 1 Sensor Booster
- Target Painter
Low:
- MAPC
I have great range (Destroyer 4 plus additional targeting skills) and the 150mm combined with Iridium guarantees that I can start doing damage right after they get into that range. When a rat gets to within 20km, I turn on the missile launcher and 75mm's; that offs them quickly

6x150mm rails with Iridium, 1xRocket launcher with defenders
1xC5-L small sh. booster, 1x afterburner, 2xFixed Parallel Link Cap rechargers
Micro Aux Power Core
Excellent range with this setup, no cap problems either. Better skills might allow for another gun on it, but my fitting skills are reasonably good and I don't have much grid to spare as it is now.

if u want to mine in a cormorant, u will need to get some named miners, forgot the name, but they have the best ore mining per cpu spent on fitting.
So if u fit those named miners, u will be able to mine a lot more then with 3x miners 2.

Maybe for dampening multiple targets.
Personally i'm finding that the 6x150's, AB, Small shield, rechargers, and a mod works quite well. Swap out the ab for a webber or scrambler and it might do well pvp too.

This is my n00b setup. Cuts through L1 missions and most L2 missions with ease (except the ones with a BC/BS). Ospreys seem tough unless you turn on AB while orbiting before getting into range, then they're pretty much toast (1v1 anyways). With this setup, I took out a Moa in 0.4 space, but had to warp out and back in a couple of times, since it was tearing through my shields and armor like they were nothing (keep an Armor Repairer handy in the cargo bay if you intend on taking these beasts on, but I don't recommend it either way). Of course, higher skill levels and T2 replacements would make the task of taking on cruisers a bit easier.
Highs: 3x150mm (Tungsten), 2x125mm (Iron), 2x75mm (Iron), Rocket Launcher (defenders)
Mid: 1x 1MN AB, 1x small SB I, 2x Cap Recharger I
Low: 1x Power Diagnostic System I
The 150mm rails with Tungsten give about a 30km+ range (depends on rail used and skill obviously, I'm ballparking here though). The reason for using Tungsten (as opposed to iron, which gives another 40% extra range) is because I wanted the 150's and the 125's to have approximately the same range (the 125's in this case are about 28km with the Iron). This allows you to rain hell with 5 rails at once at about the same optimal range - in fact, you can get nearly exactly the same optimal range if you play with rail-types. The 2x75's are used if targets get too close, but frigs are usually dead before they even get into range of the 75's. The rocket launcher is against those nasty missile silos that seem to constantly appear in some of the missions - they're easy to take out if you keep a 28km+ range (and with plenty of time to see the missiles coming, the defenders will take care of them most of the time).
With the 2 Cap Rechargers, AB can be on the whole time, and even if you drain your cap completely with the SB turned on, it gets recharged pretty damn fast afterwards. The 5% boost to the powergrid you get with the Power Diagnostic System is absolutely necessary here (other PG boosting mods will do as well, but 5% is minimum). You will also need Engineering at L3 for this to work (unless you use a 10% PG booster, but then you compromise on the other benefits of using the PDS module).
Hope this helps the n00bs who just bought Corms.

i don't like working with such a mix of ranges; all 150mm or all 125mm guns for me. Pick them off before they get close.

I've got mine set up like so:
Hi-slots:
7x75mm scout 1 railguns (Thorium)
standard missile launcher (Bloodclaw)
Med-slots:
Medium named shield booster
shield booster
Cold gas arc jet AB
Mag Scattering Amp
Lo-slot
Overdrive injector system
Its got 1263 shields, its fast and even though the 75mm guns sound small, with 7 of them they pwn stuff.

High = 7x 150mm Railgun II
Mids = 2x sensorbooster II, good named web, named 20km disrupter
Low = micro aux power core
It is a tight squeeze and dont even apply if you havent got top notch fitting skill but it is NASTY.
Will vaporise ANY intercepter.. I've even taken an enyo to 50% armor and he only survived as his buddies turned up to help him (had him webbed at 9.3km from me)
Ohh and you get a scan res of well over 1000 so you can catch pods and even some intys as they try to warp away.
I'm very new into destroyers, but would a setup like this also help against Crows?
I can imagine Crows'll be firing missiles from way over 30km to start with.
Anyway, I'm looking for setups and tactics against those specifically.

What you do is fit as many weapons as you can, with the longets range you can get. Then you fit sensorbooster and tracking comps in mids and whatever yis needed to sustain this in the low.
This way you make the most out of the bonuses of the ship, which dictate range and firepower.
Dont even hope to tackle a crow in s dest and win, you simply wont.
The t1 destroyers can only be used as long-range anti-frigate support in seriours pvp. That means that you will need somebody to tackle for you.
If you try and tank your dest and fir short range weapons, be prepared to die a swift death to the inties that do more damge whlie being able to tank themselves.
You ned to play by the bonueses with such a speciality ship, a dest is not a cruiser, its a one trick pony, and you fail if you dont use it as such, at least against any competent opponent.
If you want to hunt frigs at short range, use an AF or a cruiser, but nothing beats the anti-frig firepower of a dest at ranges of 50km, they are just awesome at that, so use it.

I had a rocket fitted flycatcher run away from me with the following setup:
7 125 protype rails - antimatter
1 ccj mwd
1 20k disrupter
1 web
1 micro capacitor batter t2
1 local ppm reactor control unit
He was using a rocket setup on his flycather (?) and was doing quite a bit of damage, had me @ 50 percent armor before I got through his shields, but once his shields ran out I starting doing ALOT more damage, and he MWD'd away, out of my range.
I was shocked that he ran. It would have been interesting to see who would have won.

How insane will it be?
I've tried, even with a Tech II RCU in the low slot, they're just too much the energy hog. Five with the ranged tech II ammo was pretty smecksi, though.

Try a micro auxiliary power core. Works better. And it's pretty insane
7x 150mm II + spike
2 tracking computers, 2 sensor boosters
MAPC
93km optimal is just fun with small rails.
If you're looking at a mission fit, first, get a kestrel and try that. Then try 125mm rails, and some shield extenders
Oh, and ... NECRO!

Holy thread necro Batman ... this thread was started in 2005, and most of those posts are now horribly out of date (8 drones on an Osprey, yup we used to be able to do that, an age ago when Drone Interfacing gave +1 controled drone per level ...).
On topic, there are other threads with up-to-date fitting suggestions for the Cormorant ... upper right corner, "SEARCH" ...
