Barghest will be awful for PvE. The scram range bonus is completely wasted, and with no application bonus you'll be doing crap damage to smaller ships.

Stick to a Golem or CNR for PvE.

As to your fit--needs more rigors. Also never use T2 TPs, they're worse than meta 4.

I said needs rigors, not fix the rigs :)

With 4x ballistic control systems the bay loading accelerator is mostly wasted. The core defense field extender doesn't do much for you since it's an active tank.

Warhead rigor catalysts are always better than warhead flare catalysts. For PVE on pretty much any mission boat your rigs should aim for 2x Rigor2 1x Flare2. However, since the Barghest only has 350 calibration (I assume, since that's what the other pirate BSes have) you may need 2x Rigor2 1x Flare1.

For TPs, you're looking for meta4--Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron (PWNAGE) I think is the full name.

Shiny carebear fit ship that is bonused for PVP... Must resist urge to suicide gank!

These things are probably going to start around 2.5b just for the hull for the first 2-3 months. More if MOA has half a brain to try and corner the market.

If that truly ends up being the case, then I'm going to get a Golem until prices drop. The ship looks amazing, but not 2.5 bil amazing.

Well the low sec drops might mess with pricing. Doesnt change the fact there is only 1 Station for Mordus Legion. It is in the middle of NPC Pure Blind Surrounded by the CFC. On top of being home to people that like to roleplay.

Any of those enities could farm up enough lp to make it worth while but consider the market to be pretty bare and easily manipulated.

Any fit without a full rack of points is doing it wrong.

I'm clearly new, but I have no idea what this means.

And you want to fly a pirate faction battleship. This might not be such a great idea

I'm not sure if not understand the phrase "full rack of points" determines whether I can or cannot fly a ship, faction or not. I've not read the phrase before is all.

'Point' refers to a warp disruptor or warp scrambler (though scramblers are commonly referred to as 'scram' rather than 'point' to distinguish between the 2), by saying 'a full rack of points' Riot Girl means you'd have all (or most) of your mids dedicated to warp disruptors/scramblers as thats what the ship is bonused for. It's an extremely basic PvP terminology that anyone who has ever flown a PvP ship would know. The Barghest is designed for PvP and trying to make it into a L4 mission boat while possible, is definitely a huge waste of the hull.

If you want a faction missile boat for L4 you should use the Navy Raven or the Fleet Typhoon, both will do much better while being much cheaper.

I appreciate the explanation there, thank you. I'm talking myself into the Golem and CNR (I'm pretty heavy into the Caldari skills) and I think it's just the excitement over a new hull (that I like quite a bit). I've seen the Raven hulls for so long they just aren't as exciting. I know aesthetics are a terrible justification but, it's all I've got.

Shiny carebear fit ship that is bonused for PVP... Must resist urge to suicide gank!

I understand how you feel, everyone wants to play with the new shiny toys, but don't forget that people also love to be the first ones to gank new shiny toys. The Barghest fits that you posted are highly susceptible to being suicide ganked due to having no buffer modules (aside from invulns) while being very expensive in terms of both hull cost and modules. So flying one of these shortly after release as a L4 boat will likely end in an expensive wreck.

Personally I would go for a CNR over a Golem because of the better mobility and explosion radius bonus (assuming you don't care about salvage). While Bastion is nice, Cruise missile are definitely better than torps and don't need any of the extra range from Bastion, and the CNR can easily tank L4s while maintaining 4 Damage Mods and 3 rig slots for application so you're not gaining much from the Bastion tank bonus either. Only reason to use a Golem over a CNR IMO is if you're using Torps for shorter range missions. If you're bored of the Raven hulls a good way to go would be the Fleet Typhoon, you'd need solid drone skills to get the most out of it, but with the right fit, it can be one of the best L4 boats out there.

CNRs are nice, but the Golem is nicer. Much better tank than the CNR, which actually has pretty crap resists. A Scorpion Navy Issue would be a better choice than an RNI until you can fly a Golem. Also T2 Cruise is a must.

I'm not sure if not understand the phrase "full rack of points" determines whether I can or cannot fly a ship, faction or not. I've not read the phrase before is all.

With 6 lows, there's very little reason not to put a damage control on. That does make them rather harder to profitably gank.

Cruises even on the Golem? I've only seen it flown with Torps (though I admittedly don't know much about them) - all the reading says the Scorpion is a monster tank in comparison.
