Pattern Clarc Dark Destiny Inc.

And also help you out on some of the errors in your post... Originally by: Holy Priest Okay I want to build a Thorax pvp setup. first of let me say I have never realy been in a battle in witch the enemy ship outclassed my own (aka, I can kill a rookie ship with a destroyer, yah...) so, this is the setup I was thinking about: (the auto tareting is a must because I have a pc that can only hndel 25 fps... yah........ sigh... so I have the comp do the targeting) high I : Auto Targeting System I Is this a high slot module? even if it is, holding down control and clicking on the target in the overview (holding down for atleast 1 complete frame) will make your targeting problems managible without a high slot module that adds nothing to your effective offensive or defensive capiblities. Originally by: Holy Priest high II : 250mm Prototype I Gauss Gun (Antimatter) high III: 250mm Prototype I Gauss Gun (Antimatter) high IV : 250mm Prototype I Gauss Gun (Antimatter) These are the worst tracking guns, and a good only for there range, they don't do as much damage as the 200mm's and use more grid and cap. Plus, (and this is a major one) All the bonuses placed on the Thorax suggest, a fast (MWDing) baster boat, that gets close and personal dealing way more damage via turrets than any other cruiser in it's class. You don't have to use it that way ofcourse, but it's a good hint, and sadly gallente ships rarely have te flexiblity of short/long range... Personnally, in general, Ion's ftw Originally by: Holy Priest high V : Medium Diminishing Power System Drain I Smartish move Originally by: Holy Priest med I : Y-s8 Hydrocarbon I Afterburners See thorax MWD bonus... after burners are fine for PvE but nost cruisers will have MWD's these thays unless there EW boats, in which case yoour already ****. Originally by: Holy Priest med II : Industrial Capacitor Recharger Cap injector, or cap battery if you want to tank, use the low slots for Capacitor Power Relays which (unless you use Tech II cap chargers) are way better. Originally by: Holy Priest med III: ? Warp scrambler (the 20km one is a must) otherwise a web if you have somene else doing the tackling Originally by: Holy Priest low I : large 'Accommodation' Vestment Reconstructer I LOL Train up to use the tech II medium armour reps, they are far better than he standard named ones if you plan on tanking. low II : 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I If you want that HP fly a Battlecruiser, your a cruiser, you need the speed, and you need the agility... all thee who swear by plates please get over it. Originally by: Holy Priest low III: ? low IV : ? low V : ? Suggestions.... Warp core stabliser, adaptive nano membranes, capacitor power relays, reactor control units (for grid) magentic field stabliser II's (or best named), nanofiber internal sturcture (for speed and agility at the expense of struture hp) Originally by: Holy Priest Drones: ??????????????????? Warrior II's (anti frig), Valkyres II's(anti armor), Hammerhead II's (anti ISK LOL, best damage), ECM drones however drones often to the majority of yur damage in most setups until you've trained up gunnery to medium tech II level.
Holy Priest	Posted - 2006.07.25 17:01:00 - [17] Originally by: Pattern Clarc tech talk thanks, this helps me alot, even if I cant use half of it yet, il get the skills up for this. for the blasters, what do you recomend? also what ammo?

HEAVY ION BLASTER II's with NULL/Antimatter (void only if your up against bigger ships) or Modal Ion Blasters with Antimatter Sometimes, I would suggest swapping an ion for dual 150mm raisl if you run out of power grid so you can avoid using reactor control units (safing slots for damage mods or better resists ) To get all the skills to fly the throax well could take 6 months but probably within a few weeks, you'll get the genneral idea and start loving it.

I cant seem to fit 4 turrets, dont have the grid power? is it okay dmg whys to only take 3 turrets and put say a second nos or something like that in??? and if I have say a 80/90% cap recharge time boost, how long will I be able to armour tank?
Pattern Clarc Dark Destiny Inc.	Posted - 2006.07.25 18:04:00 - [20] Recommended fitting skills Engineering 5 Electronics 5 Energy Grid Upgrades 5 Weapons Upgrade 5 Advanced Weapons Upgrade 4 Electronics Upgrade 4/5 When you have those skills alots of things will fit way better and when they don't, reactor control units and power diagonistic units are the answer.
Pattern Clarc Dark Destiny Inc.	Posted - 2006.07.25 18:07:00 - [21] as for damage, well thats up to you, right now I could either take down a rupture in 10 seconds flat. Or last about 30 seconds against a battleship with 1600mm plates, but not actualy have the damage to take it out. Sometimes, you'll be up against a few frigs and the extra tank would be great, no one setup w1ns them all

Sometimes, you'll be up against a few frigs and the extra tank would be great, no one setup w1ns them all well I havent ever even seen a bs so thats not going to be the problem. this is what I think im going for: h1: Medium Diminishing Power System Drain I h2: 200mm Railgun I (Antimatter) h3: 200mm Railgun I (Antimatter) h4: 200mm Railgun I (Antimatter) h5: (out of power...) m1: Y-S8 Hydrocarbon I Afterburners m2: Cap Recharger I m3: Warp Disruptor I l1: Small 'Accommodation' Vestment Reconstructer I l2: Capacitor Power Relay I l3: Capacitor Power Relay I l4: Capacitor Power Relay I l5: Linear Flux Stabilizer I drone: any thing I can buy with the money il have left so in theory, how long will I stay alive when getting gang of ****ed of ppl in cruisers after me?
Montero Black Omega Security E.R.A	Posted - 2006.07.25 18:29:00 - [23] Originally by: Holy Priest so in theory, how long will I stay alive when getting gang of ****ed of ppl in cruisers after me? 3-4 seconds.

I may have laughed a few times while reading some of that but i think it was despair. As someone said earlier in this post: I think a little part of me died while reading this.
