Has anyone put some effort into testing the effect of ECM on these fights? |

209 is more intriguing.
A big part of the first wave of fighting these seems about power, not grace. The strategy so far is tons of pew and speed and skills and overwhelm it in seconds. That's fine, but I'm not likely to have 200M to blow on trying it, nor spend 360+ days on V everything. So far I've only fought against Hawk using a standard mission fit Tristan (me dead under 20 seconds), a kiting Tristan (blew up my drones, forced to flee), and a kiting Comet (too little DPS stalemate).
Going in you know a lot about the opponent. It would seem drone boats (able to custom damage type) and EWAR (one target, known sensor type) should allow a pretty targeted approach. With no info and little experience, I was at stalemate in a bad match on only my second attempt...
Gotta be a way to do kiting drone boat. |

Here's an idea.
Maulus
2 x 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun w/ Caldari Navy Uranium
1MN Afterburner II
3 x Phased Muon Sensor Disruptor I w/ Targeting Range Dampening Script
3 x Drone Damage Amplifier II
Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I
Small Auxiliary Thrusters I
4 target specific T2 drones
This would be 3 x -42% range penalty. Hobgoblin IIs are about 130 dps with another 30 from guns. Speed is 1259 m/s.
You have a single DPS producing enemy. If you reduce it to no DPS, could you simply grind them down? You'd probably try to blow up a logi first. This should kite with no problem. Highs are completely optional. Setting up a Griffin might even be better, though the DPS would likely be not as good. It seems likely that the "advanced" AI of the mission rats would not adjust to this... worst case? You probably lose some drones; the Maulus can carry 2 spare. The ship is cheap, low skills - you probably pay more for the dampers than the hull.
Thoughts?

This is primarily a suggestion for that. It is the only one I've seen personally.

My experience in a Tristan is that, yes, they will attack drones if they can't get you. It was pretty easy to kite the Team Hawk I fought, but it slaughtered my drones... and my Comet just didn't have enough DPS with rails. I felt a blaster Comet would get smashed, so didn't try it and gave up at that point.
As luck would have it, I picked up a Daredevil BPC and was considering trying it out. Garmur would mean I'd have to do all the Caldari and all the missiles before I could even try it. |
