I'm interested in thought and/or experience on this. Normally spider tanking is reserved for the likes of battleships and can be quite effective in PvE, especially when dealing with neut batteries and such. But what if you where attacked by a swarm of rifters that where all linked and healing each other?
The thought dawned on me a couple days ago when I was considering how I could effectively create havok with a small band of very low SP toons. I looked up to see if anyone had come up with a similar idea but I only found a couple fits, both on the same battleclinic board:
http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/28881-Rifter-spider-X.html
I can't say I'm completely pleased with either version and was able to put something together with a larger buffer and without wasting a slot with the CPU and cap mods. Get the web, scram, ab with a 200mm plate, dc, and nano. Cap runs dry in a minute or less of course but my thought is that we either shouldn't need it that long or we're toast anyway.
Tested the theory out a little bit last night with two people, can't say it went as well as I hoped but I think it's a strategy for more participants.
So anyway, thoughts? |

Optimal range on the small remote reps is like 5km, and you won't be getting bonuses.
That's why it doesn't work.

You can't orbit outside smart bombing range and stay linked with other rifters.
Let me know when you try this and I'll showyouwhatimtalkingabout

I think there's still hope for shield hurricanes with the right rigs for resists and a nos. |

I once participated in an arranged 6v6 T1 frig fight where our FC asked for a specific fleet composition of 3 armor Rifters fit with resist mods/rigs and 3 RR Punishers. The opposing team was flying various T1 frigs from all four races. We won without incurring any losses on our side. It's a pretty specific scenario, and I'm sure there were other factors at play, but it was a very one-sided fight. Anyway, you don't need RR to wreak havoc with a band of low-sp pilots. |

Frigates are typically fragile enough that RR just doesn't work very well under normal pvp conditions. Most of the time Frigate RR modules are used to rep each other AFTER a fight has happened. At the same time, your talking about cheap frigates.... go try it out and see what happens!!!!
If you are interested in the damage t1 frigates can do, check out Agony's PvP basic course (it concludes with a nullsec roam of 50+ frigates).

Actually signed up for next week's. Have been interested to see what you guys have for a long time. I've been in 0.0 frigate roams before though. We did many millions of ISK in damage for a few thousand each.

The problem with Riters using Remote rep on each other is that the Remote rep uses cap, and the Rifter doesn't have the cap for it. Sure, you could get a cap booster but that would take up a mid-slot...and at that point you would be better off flying a Punisher.
