I'm constantly getting tracking disrupted. And by constantly I mean 9 out of 10 Sansha lvl 4 mission I (attempt to) run. Currently flying an apoc with pulse lasers, I tried adding tracking enhancers & computers + experimenting with different types of ammo but as of yet I'm still unable to hit anything. My drones can take care of the frigates, but the last couple of missions were filled with bc's and bs's disrupting me, (usually had 3 TD's on me at the same time). I'm starting to wonder whether I've made a mistake by spending the last three months training Amarr battleship related skills. Multiple people in rookie chat have told me shield tanking + missiles are the way to go for mission running. Are they right? ...frankly I don't feel like spending another three months of training before I can do what I would like to do in this game.

Quote:You might want to try a Micro Jump Drive. It allows you to move 100 km, which will greatly reduce the traversal you have to deal with.
Another method is to simply kite. Move away from the NPC in a constant direction. They will fall in line behind you as they follow, making their traversal 0.
Forgive me, but I don't really understand how this works. I found out about angular velocity on the eve wiki but I couldn't find any info about traversal velocity. Are those two one and the same or? Also, how does reducing your traversal affect tracking disrupters? In the same way it affects guns?
Quote:Or use a MJD and beams to stay in the TD's falloff, which means less uptime. Or fit a MWD and blast them in the face at point blank range.
I tried fitting beams and outranging the TD ships, it did help a little bit, but dps seemed very low compared to pulses. Took a long time to kill them. If I fit a MWD should I kite away from them or approach them in a straight line (wuts point blank range :s)?

Forum alt here. Main's actually five months old.
Quote:Whatever you do, do not discount PvP. An hour of missioning could net you a couple t1 cruisers or a dozen frigs to fly around and get blown up. There is so much to learn in this game outside of missions, get your toes in early while you can!
I certainly won't! I'm only running missions because it seemed like the fastest way to build up capital. Once my wallet reaches the ten digit mark I plan on spending all that isk on buying and fitting a couple of dozen frigates, cruisers (and if I'm feeling bold maybe even some bc's) to have some fun with. My longterm goal is to join a pvp corp and get involved in either piracy or nullsec warfare. I felt like missioning would be a good starting point to learn basic game mechanics and get some isks so that I can be self sufficient and won't be too much of a burden to corp mates. |
