Edited by: Rasta Rocketman on 26/05/2005 12:43:00 Edited by: Rasta Rocketman on 26/05/2005 12:42:11 We have been doing a bit of this for fun recently and have noticed a magical transformation right before our eyes.
When we arrived the gate we were camping had: 2x sentry gun I's
2 days later: 1x sentry gun II 1x sentry gun I
4 days after that: 1x sentry gun II 1x sentry gun III
a week or so later: 2x sentry gun III's
2 questions 1) Has anyone else experienced this incredible, magical transformation of sentry guns? 2) Are sentry gun V's out yet? lmao

I've got to say I've never noticed this. I have seen a few numbered sentry guns around but they've always been Caldari, round where I sentry tank they're mostly all Amarr and Minmitar sentries that just read as 'Amarr Sentry Gun' or whatever.
Did you notice they were doing any more damage or anything? _________________

yes
I'm not sure if it is ROF or damage output, but they were producing more DoT as far as I can tell.

I bet it's damage types. I've only ever seen them in Gallente or Caldari space numbered.
Amarr ones always do EM and Thermal on top of their base damage, so if I'm going to tank em I bring the right hardeners.
Since hybrid ammo tends to vary so much on damage type, I bet type3's use AM, etc.
Someone take a Raven and try different hardeners on each type at max range, so there's only one sentry firing. That would test this theory well. "You Griefer!!!" = "You Doodyhead!!!" |

All sentrys guns do the same amount/types of damage. I don't think the rank is indicative of tech levels, luckily
Some facts
Hit: 308 dmg Wreck: 924 dmg
DPS: 176 (352 for a pair)
Damage type percentage:
Kinetic: 31.8% Thermal: 31.8% EM: 18.1% EXP: 18.1%
It's better to keep your kin/therm resists higher then EM/EXP ________________________________________________________

Edited by: Kaleeb on 26/05/2005 17:23:20 I`ve noticed the II, III ones do more damage or at least seem to. I havent noticed them changing altough as v2 says we'll keep a look out. Corvus do you play the same game as us? Hybrids- thermal kinetic
also sentries do all types of damage just more kin and therm

The II's and III's seem to do exactly the same damage as the I's, but I think they are firing faster.

I'd tend to take Shamis' word on that one. Anyone who's been through Aunenen recently must know he has lots of experience sitting around getting shot at by sentry guns...

Do we know the RoF?
It's 1.75sec.
All sentries have a ROF of 1.75sec. ________________________________________________________

Hehe I ran this camp too.
I am NEVER doubting the Ferox's ability to tank ungodly amounts of damage for a Battlecruiser again.

The RoF is the same.. The Damage Multiplier is just higer i think it was: I = 3.5x II= 4x III= 4.5x
still dont know why only caldari has numbered ones tho

Amen to that.
People say I'm foolish to use one for .
All I have to do is be pre-aligned and I can camp a gate almost as well as a Raven in my BC. Haulers are funny.
Also tanked an attacking gankageddon the other day in front of sentries. I'll be hard pressed to spend the ISK on a BS after seeing how well the BC did in that situation. "You Griefer!!!" = "You Doodyhead!!!" |

There is no doubt a ferox can tank, but I think you guys might be overestimating it's abilities. It depends a lot on your attackers setups, and if they are able to track you properly.
We down ferox's with a couple BS volleys.
Anyway, back to the original point. As of last night the sentrys now have changed to: 1x sentry III 1x sentry I
interesting....
