hey mate i am looking at your fit and can't figure out how you tank - can't see any Armour rep? Is it buffer tank?
understood that CPR is cap power relay...

Given the changes in inferno, in particular the low slot drone damage mod, any thoughts on changing the fit or are all the low slots needed for tank?

Shield tank with 3 drone damage mods????????!!!!

ARISE OLD THREAD. i will be testing the new drone dmg mods. was away for a while.

The Improved cloak can only fit with size-small blasters (and Drones-Rigging trained to 5, ugh :/), are smalls enough for losec and some nullsec (DED up to approx. 7/10, their unrated equivalents, and nullsec escalations)?

Once you log off, your ship will warp away in a random direction close to the point of origin, and stay on the map for 120 seconds. nullsecers, while thirsty for blood, will generally move onto something else within 15-30 minutes. But in those 2mins, they can interact with your ship.

Ooops, you're now in a bubble with half a bill of loot in your cargo. First thing, remain freaking calm. You have 30 seconds before gate cloak drops, and nothing can decloak you during this time.The rest is all about luck. Point your ship away from them, move, and immediately activate your cloak followed by the overheated mwd (you can now be decloaked by any object within a few km of you). Change your vector slightly. They now know where you are, and will rush toward you with their drones and dicks out. If they dont decloak you on their first pass, then there's a slight chance you might live. Continue slowboating in your current direction out of the bubble and just wait it out.

Gate aggression: don't fuckin do it. The only time YOU should be aggressing is when youre about to die and have no other choice! This pretty much only includes getting scrammed in a bubble while uncloaked. If you aggress someone on a gate, you have to wait 30 seconds before you can jump through again. 30 seconds is a long time in pvp..

The Prototype cloak, in my testing doesn't generate enough speed with the MWD pulse to warp unless you have speed/agility mods in the lows--and you still need to accelerate for a few seconds before warping even then. Overheated MWD pulse is "almost" enough, but still not optimal. Is that still "good enough" regardless?

its 60 seconds, not 120.
its 60 seconds you cant jump due to aggression.

Drones are your DPS - i don't even have guns on mine, except a civilan for getting aggro.

Will you be able to fit one, though, given the 'Tar's almost comical lack of CPU...

A question, please, regarding cloaks:

Rise, thread, RISE!

(And CCP, Y U NO MAEK STICKY?)

practice the sequence some more. the ship will definitely warp off before it decloaks fully, which means you're un-targettable. ive never had to overload

Are you waiting for the MWD to near the end of its cycle before decloaking and hitting warp? If that's the 'few seconds' you mention then I think it's normal. Otherwise maybe there's some navigation skills you don't have very high or something.

Thoughts?

That's pretty nice for a nullifier fit! Cap life is not great, and EHP is low, so there's not much room for mistakes. I think heavies are the right choice for Proteus, fitting sentry dmg augmentors just doesn't feel right with 100mbit/s, I went for more (omni) tank on my exploration Proteus.

Maybe this thread should be left for the Ishtar, however :)
