Hello Fellow Pod Pilots
I would like some setup suggestions for a Viator that I will be getting soon :) As a miner I will be useing it as my main ship for just about every job apart from hauling low end minerals and ore.
Q1.Should I try and fit for speed or try and tank with the good resistances the ship give?
Q2.Do I fit a MWD or AB?
Any suggestions would be a great help Thanks.

Now I know the Viator is not an Pwnmobile but any suggestion would help as there are no setups listed on the forums.. I have this setup in mind, is it anygood?
High Cloak
Med MWD, EM Shield Rest Hardner and a Invunlerability Field.
Low Damde Control, Small Amour Repairer and Reinforced Bulkhead.

I don't use one, but the slot layout is very similar to my ishkur 'cept in the highslots, so try this out.
MED: AB, cap recharger, cap battery
LOW: 2x Small Armor Repairer, 1x Explosive Hardener(Active)
Should be nice, don't know about fitting.

Main thing to remember about the blockade runners is their insane agility, a MWD is a must.
For a basic fitting I'd suggest this:
Med: 10mn MWD, Low: small armour rep II, explosive hardner, nano II/cap relay
High and meds are a bit of a problem, its all dependant on whether you want to fight off your attacker, hide, or use EW to escape...

I fit: -nothing in high -10mn MWD2, cap rechargers -small armor repper 2, two WCS (in case two inties with +2 warp scrambies decide they want to hunt me out in 0.0)

I use mine for hauling things in and out of 0.0, so I go through several chokepoints that are bubbled/pirate infested.
Highs: Cloak Mids: 10mn MWD, Medium Shield Booster, EM shield hardener/cap recharger Lows: Local Hull Nano, 2x WCS
Gives you +5 warp strength, so you really only have to worry about stilletos (and specialized setups at that), or gangs of intys.
With good nav skills and agility implants, it warps lightning fast as well. With 3750 cargo you can fit a packaged barge, or an inty/af + kit, or a ton of loot/mins.
I dont try to armor tank it because if I get to the point where I'm scrambled with +5, I'm generally going to be dead anyways. The medium booster has saved me a few times undocking from 0.0 stations with instalocking battleships hammering on me before I could get to warp.

I did not see the low explosive resistance for armour thnx. I will fit a MWD it makes sense to get through as fast as possible, tanking will do no good against a gank squad. Thanks again

What about Passive tank on the Viator is it possible to fit a good one for blockade running against a small camp. With the small armor repairer in low it should be possible with the new skills.
Is it worth me training the new armour tanking skills?

if passive tanking, getting all the new compensation skills to 3 or more is a must. but i have used a viator for a long time now and have never changed my setup (survived a good few gate camps) Try: Cloak 10mn mwd, invulnerability ward, med/small shield booster 3 nanofibres
this means you can align to warp in a matter of seconds, you have a top speed approaching 3km a second, and you can tank the few stray shots that might hit you at these speeds. Your built in Warp Core Stabs will prevent the odd tackler from stopping you too.

High - Improved Cloak
Mids: 10mn MWD, whatever passive shield tanks you want
Lows: 3 Local hull nanofibers
You have a built in warp core stab of +2 so if something is shooting you you are either about to to warp away or you are about to die. Putting in armour-boosting equipment in the lows doesn't help the Viator much.
With this setup and navigation to 5 the Viator goes 2500 m/s. When cloaked, it still hits about 100 m/s.
One trick is to hit your MWD then immediately cloak. You will still get the benefit of the MWD for the full cycle, so I often end up about 5km from the gate before my speed returns to normal (i.e. less than 100 m/s). It's virtually impossible for a small (i.e. less than three) gate camp to stop you as even if they breach your cloak you will be a second from the gate.
Be careful of bubbles, though.

I use the Viator for hauling highvalue cargo thru unsecure space and I've still to see the rat that pummels thru this setup. Please notice that this definately is a Fast in/ fast out setup, so IBM's is a must!!!
High: Cloak Med: 10AB II. 2X Invulnerabilityfield Low: 3X nano's, expanders or WCS's(for the paranoid :)) as needed
With the Invulnies running it takes a few hits, even from a gankcrew to chew thru the shield. And if they do get to your armour before you warp out, the inherent resistances of the Viator, will save U some time for that cruzial alignment. All this said: it can't tank for an extended period of time, but it has got me through some pretty badass situations without reaching hull.

For me its gotta be High: Cloak Medium: MWD and 2 Hardeners Lows: 3 nanos, or 2WCS +1 nano
even webbed(80%) it can still go over 300ms and with 3 nanos it can warp in under 6 seconds, I`ve never tried tanking it I`d rather not hang about long enough to need to.

The Viator is a real nasty one to fit out! Tight on grid but plenty of CPU spare makes me think I'm not fitting something the devs intended.
I'm happy with this setup.
High: Cloak
Mid: Small Cap Booster (with cap booster 150 charges fits 2) Mid: Small Cap Booster (with cap booster 150 charges fits 2) Mid: MWD
Low: Exp Hardener Low: Overdrive Injector Low: Small Armour Rep
Tech II or named as you see fit.
This gives me:
Over 2k armour All armour resists 50-70% Over 2000m/s Sustainable MWD with cap boosters (alternate them so one can be reloading while other has a charge left) 3200 cargo capacity Cloakable It's a hauler so plenty of space for cap charges and they are cheap so can take loads along and jettison whatever isn't needed if you need more space.

Edited by: Lobster Man on 02/07/2006 19:42:09 I like my setup: Improved Cloak II 10mn MWD II/Named MWD, 2x hypnos multispectral ECM/T2 Multispec 2x named nanofibers, 1x WCS
I figure anything fast enough to catch me will be easily scrambled, but if I can't scram it, I've got the WCS just in case; and anything big enough to kill me can't catch me. I can pull about 2200m/s in that setup.
I've busted through many a camped system (with bubble) with 10+ ships with no trouble at all.

Hi Slot:
Tech II Cloak
Mid Slots:
10MN MWD II Shield Recharger II [Highly Valuable When Cloaked!] Cap Recharger II
Low Slots: [Speed Setup] 3x Named Nanofibers [Zoom Zoom!]
[Tanking Setup] Small Armor Repairer II Internal Force Field Array I Energized Reactive Membrane II
[Interceptor Evading Setup] Internal Force Field Array I 2x Warp Core Stabilizer I's
There are many other setups that benefit a ship with this much CPU available. The best ones I have are not listed, but they can be extrapolated from these base examples. 
If you have high Shield/Armor skills, you can take a good amount of damage on a 15km MWD approach to a gate. You would then gate through to the next system, toggle the MWD for one activation, then cloak.
Your Cap Recharger II and Shield Recharger II will help your Cap/Shields get back to 100% quickly. You can then align for a Safe Spot or the next gate, get up to full speed cloaked, then uncloak and hit warp pretty quick. Of course by the time you are ready to warp, you should be at least 50km from the nearest hostel. This way they have no chance of scrambling you before you jump to warp.
Blockade Runners are a very useful ship to fly, and I highly enjoy using mine!  __________

Cloak 10mn MWD II, Tracking Disruptor, Sensor Dampener Small Rep II, Energised Reflective plating II, RCU (not sure might be a internal force field will check).
The EW onboard allows you to jam 2 targets and i only use it if webbed to break web and align to jump to a safespot.
With transport 5 this baby has +10 wcs and the small armor rep as a duration of 3 seconds.
With IBM it's neight unstoppable. YARR *cough* *cough* /dustball |

Hi Would anyone have any ideas on what to fit in the two Rig Slots? Atm I have this setup and its good for running past snipers and camps.
High - Proto Cloak.
Med - Y-T8 MWD, Invulnerability Field II, Photon Scattering Field II.
Low - Energized Adaptive Nano II, Small Armor Repaier II Damage Control
Ideas for the Rigs would be a help as I don't want to waste isk on buying and fitting them to find out that they give little or no bonus for running camps and snipers.
Thanks

Age - I think I read a post somewhere about not wanting to kill anybody... Speed is always a good thing unless they get enough webifiers on you.
You could also go for battleships (perhaps scorp) with a lot of ew like dampeners, jammers, ecm bursts, nos, neutralizers, etc etc but then you cannot jump through a gate due to agression timer...
you can perhaps try some solid tanking battleships (scorpion shield tanking with mwd and nano+inertia in lows (or wcs) or the amarr ships (or new tier 3 with tanking bonus)...

Don't tank a blockade runner - if you want to do that, get a deespace hauler. I've flown a crane on numerous occasions through lowsec and long 0.0 trips and have escaped quite a few gatecamps.
What you want is:
- One or two passive hardeners against your worst dmg type on shields. - Afterburner - Inertia stabs - One extra WCS
With warp to 0, it's become less of a speed thing and more of a tactics thing. Use it's agility, the +2 strength and the game mechanics to your advantage...
Example...
1) Not too long ago i was making a trip from empire to 0.0, had checked the map for kills but alas, the last gate to 0.0 had a domi and a taranis on it..as soon as i WTZ they jump through. Knowing the taranis wont have more then 3 points on it, i run through, take some damage while aligning and warp off. No biggie.
2) In 0.0 itself. A jaguar is stalking me for a few jumps. He knowingly doesn't aggro me since it will deny him jump and allow me to make my escape, but he sure as hell is relaying his friends to me. On my way to a gate a make a midwarp safespot, sure to keep it at least 14AU from both gates. When i'm with him at the gate, i turn back and warp to that safespot, leading him to believe i warped back to the gate i came from. At the safespot i scan, and when i see him pass me in warp, i log. He thinks i left system (cant scan for me from the gates!) ad probably goes on searching for me back up the route. After 5 minutes i log back in and he's gone, i continue my journey as planned and meet no resistance in the 5-6 0.0 jumps that were left.
3) Sometimes it gets nasty. Jump into a bubble, mega, curse, ranis, domi on the gate. This is where the not-having-a-MWD-but-still-having-good-speed-and-small-sig kicks in. Wait 25s, re-approach gate, turn on AB. With it's insane agility it accellerates to over 600m/s before the tacklers can web me, and it's small sig (no MWD penalty!) causes the battleships to have a really long locktime. I slide to the gate at about 200m/s just as the battleships open up, i jump back through, their tacklers are aggroed so not a problem, and i head for a different route.
Now i haven't used rigs on it yet - but i will most likely be using one that gives +15% warp speed and one that gives +15% MWD / AB speed boost.

Howdy All,
Sokratesz is right, imo, don't bother tanking a Viator. If you want a tank, get an Occator. With warp to zero (as with instas previously) you will only ever have problems warping TO a gate if there is a bubble. Warping away from a gate, however, is always problematic. My recommendation is fit for maximum speed and warp alignment and carry a big . . . uh, ECM.
Fitting: High: small nos Mid: 10mn MWD, 2x ECM burst Low: mix of nanos and intertial stabilizers
Warping to a gate: I disagree with Sokratesz here, use an MWD, the best you can find/fit. If you get caught in a bubble and end up 12km or so from a gate, run like hell. You'll align and accelerate to 2000m/s before anyone locks and webs cutting the distance substantially. If they lock you, they'll nos/web you but you'll be fast enough to make it (if you fit for speed). Your resistances are high enough that you'll make it to the gate with armor left unless you are terribly unlucky.
Warping away from a gate: The key to survival is to align and warp as fast as possible. You can do this with lows full of nanos and/or inertial stabs -- you cannot with a tank. With +2 warp core strength you have a pretty good chance of getting away. You're main risk is if you uncloak near an instalock frig with a webber. This is where the ECM comes in handy.
Burst ECM is very good here. Although it is short range and uses a huge amount of cap, burst ECM has very high strength and may allow you to break lock fast enough to run. To use burst ECM effectively I recommend you train up long range jamming (EW optimal range), frequency modulation (EW falloff), signal dispersion (ECM strength), and all the cap skills you can. Using a nos on your agressor will allow you to run your MWD for more cycles allowing your ECM more time to work (sometimes misses, etc.)
Once you use ECM you're aggroed and can't jump through. Make a midwarp safe spot, turn around and warp back to it and then warp around making more safe spots, etc. or pop the cloak and log, etc.
My hobby is touring through 0.0 in indys trying to get myself killed. Although I've lost my share of itty 5s and Exequerors, I've never lost my Viator. Granted, what do BoB, Xelas, Goonswarm, FIX, YouWhat, Outbreak, and D2 know about camping anyway?

Well Morkhan, i still have to disagree on the MWD point. Considering a big gatecamp with snipers sitting at 100km+, you will be an easy target with a 800m sig radius, even if you are moving at 2000m/s (which i doubt the viator is able to reach!).
Using offensive modules indeed will get you an aggro - and tbh, i'd rather not get sealed in in a system full of hostiles because i can't make the jump. Keep in mind that interceptors warp faster than you and will be at the next gate before you are. When entering really hostile territory, chances are they will be at both gates anyway.
I would prefer running. Your idea will work for small gangs but if you run into a large one or one with a Large Mobile Warp Disruptor (54k range) you will very likely die.

MWD + cloak is The True Way. Hit mwd, then cloak right after that and with ships speed you are already at gate when mwd cycle ends...all while cloaked so you cant be webbed. Using AB in blockade runner is silly, infact using MWD is most important survival module in majority of ships flying around 0.0.

With MWD they will have a lock on you as soon as you turn it on, thus you cant cloak.

You folks preaching 3x nanofibres in the lows, should try 3x inertial stabilizers. Rediculous align-to-warp rate, and by giving your ship less mass your MWD/AB gets up to speed a lot quicker. The trick with camps, etc, is to get into warp asap before you get locked and scrammed by multiple targets... And if you get bumped, well they'll help re-align faster too. I pack these on the Occator now as well, and I'm warping before she's finished turning on my screen ;)

Tacklers will instalock you with MWD on, which will render the cloak useless.
You have already hit cloak before you even appear to their overview...or is there some eve magic like living next to cpp servers with fibre optics to get that fast locking speed? Never seen anyone locked before cloaking if target jumps throught gate, uncloaks from jump cloak and then hits ship module cloak. You understand there is maybe 1/10 sec at most between hitting mwd and cloak?

A skilled tackler will get you in that time, or at least will have hit 'approach' and may come close enough to uncloak ya. And you take a pretty big speed hit from the cloaking so if they get on top of you, you're dead.

Edited by: Flax Volcanus on 26/12/2006 16:09:29 I haven't flown my Viator since Kali came out. What about the 10% sig penalty for inertial stabs? I can't decide if it's better to use DC, 2x inertial or SAR, 2x nanos. One gives me marginally greater survivability through resists and HP at the expense of sig rad, and the other gives marginally greater survivability through speed and a slight repair ability.
Thoughts? |

Nice! That's my philosophy also. 
Many good suggestions here. However, just remember the best setup won't save you if you're on autopilot.

Tacklers will instalock you with MWD on, which will render the cloak useless.
You have already hit cloak before you even appear to their overview...or is there some eve magic like living next to cpp servers with fibre optics to get that fast locking speed? Never seen anyone locked before cloaking if target jumps throught gate, uncloaks from jump cloak and then hits ship module cloak. You understand there is maybe 1/10 sec at most between hitting mwd and cloak?
The delay is usually a little bit more then that - just under a second - in my taranis with SBs - With only cov-ops on overview and my trigger finger poised I have done this many a times, it takes some fast reactions, but the important thing is just to get that lock.
I would imagine it would work much the same way with any other ship type that has a cloak on it - as long as my overview is configured (advance intel) then trust me when I say you would be locked down by a couple of inties around a gate in no time.

No. Even if you spam ctrl-click in overview where hostile ship appears after uncloaking, you still wont get lock if he doenst do some mistake. There is like second before you can even start locking ship, and then after that locking time. Easily enought to cloak again.

Epic fail the lot of ya!
Viator: High Slot - 1x Improved Cloaking Device Med Slots - 1x T2 10 mn MWD, 2x T2 Cap Rechargers Low Slots - 3x T2 Inertial Stabilizers Rigs - 1x Low Friction Nozzle Joints, 1x of the warp speed increase rigs
I can out-warp interceptors and, from facing the opposite direction at a stargate, I can turn around and warp before most interceptor pilots have me locked... takes me about 2 seconds to warp like that.
Takes me 3-4 secs to hit my max top speed of 1.5kms which I can sustain in a 1km orbit.
I have a near-indefinite MWD use.
THAT, my friend, is how you run blockades.

improved cloak II
10mn mwd (y-t8 or Shadow Serpentis), em hardener, invul
2x local hull inertia stabilizer, 1x overdrive II
you can just about insta-warp with this setup, and the overdrive+mwd help you run back to a gate in case you run in to a really major gatecamp.
for afk autopiloting in empire, switch the mids for a large shield extender, and passive EM and therm hardeners. this makes you pretty much invulnerable to solo suicide gankers.

Edited by: madaluap on 17/11/2007 14:54:52 Damn, not really that many thought out setups. Youre gonna tank a gate camp with a small armor rep?
1* Cloak II
1* 10mn mwd II 1* Warp disrupter II, usefull vs lowsec pirates that tank sentry, but cant tank them for a long time  1* whatever
2* nanofiber II 1* Inertia stabilizer II (could replace with overdrive for more speed)
1* Intertia stabiliser rig 1* warpspeed rig (10.8 AU, you are faster than battle inties)
Imo, polycarbs are a bit to expensive, so this is not the perfect setup. Been engaged by pirates 3 times now, never died. _________________________________________________ Breetime

Edited by: Helen Hunts on 17/01/2008 05:55:12 My Viator setup:
Cloak Best 10mn MWD I can find, 2 Cap chargers 2 I-stab 2's, 1 Nanofiber 2 2 Low Friction Nozzle Joints
If I get hold of better agility equipment, you can guess where it's going to go..... yup, it's fast now, and I mean to make it even faster
If you have to tank more than 2-3 hits, it's a fair bet that you'll be in the market for a new Viator, regardless of your tank setup. Fit for quick and avoid the damage in the first place.
EDIT: Now that ECM is also a good idea. There's bound to be one camp out there that'll be lock-time boosted to the hilt able to get a lock before even the fastest BR can get moving. (But if they can manage to keep hold, they've EARNED that kill) _______________________________

Almost anybody can blast their way through a bunch of ships if they are flying a T2 Batoutahell armed with T2 Slingshots and rigs and other gadgetry. It takes a good pilot to bust through with nothing but guts and grease.
FP Industries is pleased to announce that R&D on its two radical new weapons, the Tech II Slingshot (the "Wrist rocket and the Tech II Duct Tape Launcher "("the Postal Dispenser") is proceeding on sch |

Originally by: Minerva Vulcan Any ideas for a 0.0 setup, based around the fastest align speed possible?
My Viator tactic is based on this. You can get down to a 3s align time.
Fit as follows :
Inertia Stabilizers II Nanofiber Internal Structure II Inertia Stabilizers II
Shield Recharger II 'Cetus' ECM Shockwave I 10MN MicroWarpdrive II
Improved Cloaking Device II
Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I Polycarbon Engine Housing I
This gives 139 signature, 10.8AU warp and a 3s align with 2200m/s availble under the MWD. The ECM is an absolute last resort if you do get locked and I'm usually iffy about using this, if you are getting hammered just turn round and hit the gate.
Obviously all these tactics rely on you flying with your brain turned on. Don't warp direct to gates you suspect have camps on, go from an adjacent planet etc. The Polycarbon Engine Housing is very excessive but touch wood I've yet to loose this setup.
I would love to hear people using the ABII over the MWDII. The massive sig increase means the larger guns will probably get a lock on you quicker.

Mine is : 2xNozzle-Rigs , 2xnanofiber II,1x Inertiastab II -> Enters warp around the end of decloaking animation,depending on warp angle a bit faster. Agility factor 0.23
Highs : cloak, Meds : Mwd,whatever
Dont try to tank it - if u are a bit careful u will be fine with such a setup __________________

Hate to spoil your fun but from a complete dead stop you enter warp equally fast in any direction.
Yes i know i spelled COAD wrong. Stop mailing me about it
