Even though its known issues, I love this ship, so I recently bough one and got myself to make a fit that worked. In gaming, I generally like the most the things other people likes less, or considers underpowered, and try to get the most out of them. Since I generally do PVE rather than PVP, I made the fit for PVE. This is the result:
[Phantasm, PVE]
Heat Sink II
Heat Sink II
Damage Control II
Experimental 10MN Afterburner I
EM Ward Field II
Thermic Dissipation Field II
Large Ancillary Shield Booster
Large Ancillary Shield Booster
Ionic Field Accelerator I
Focused Medium Pulse Laser II, Scorch M
Focused Medium Pulse Laser II, Scorch M
Focused Medium Pulse Laser II, Scorch M
Small Diminishing Power System Drain I
[Empty High-Slot]
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Medium Anti-Kinetic Screen Reinforcer I
Medium Anti-Explosive Screen Reinforcer I
Add flavour drones, specially at least one Salvage Drone I.
Even though it may look strange, or not totally optimized, it does work fine for L3's and sites, and I will be optimizing it further as I'm getting to the ship. While making the fit, I realized which are the ship's main issues that should be buffed up a bit, in order to make this ship easier to fit:
- CPU: that's the reason I left an empty high-slot and I'm not using Heavy Pulses II. Even with all skills at level 5, you still need a CPU implant for being able to fit it properly. I'd prefer a medium sized vampire and a scan probe launcher, but the lack of CPU makes it very difficult without sacrificing resistances (using Amplifiers instead) or buying expensive implants.
- Capacitor: while this fit is cap stable, it wouldn't be if I was using non-ancillary boosters. The reason I use 2 is because of the long recharge time. And with ASB's, comes the issue of quickly having your cargohold full of charges.
- Speed: this ship could have a little more base speed. At least, it wouldn't be wrong to level it with regular cruisers in that sense.
- Drones: just 3 small drones feel a bit sad; what about 20m3 instead of 15?
That said, I have to say the ship does have good EHP compared to regular cruisers, and very useful bonuses. Hope this helps other players to guide themselves towards a good fit, and CCP to see which are the ship's main issues. |
