Brutix is a very skill intensive ship, without good skills and Tech II it won't be very useful for anything but PVE.

I think your idea of cheap and lower skills differs from the OP's there champ :)
Good news is Tarin, that you can swap the fitting above for the best tech 1 you have/can afford, and it will work ok. Swap electrons for ions where possible for damage, and consider swapping a gun for a medium nos (if this is a pvp rig), though the medium booster will do the job cap wise.
Have fun :) ________________________________________________ This thread does not exist

I don't think so, I'm giving him something to train into, I don't consider that a non-skill intensive ship.

The above setup, is designed for 0.0 bubble camps with support. You park this puppy right there at the edge of the bubble, for the wise guys jumping in from wierd angles from 1000KM safe spots, or those that jump in from the gate, load up the Null M. The Null M will hit hard, 15KM away. Load up Void M, and someone get's caught by the bubble you just unload on them.

my EXACT setup. If you can get into range then any ship in your class or below is dead (unless its another brutix :P) BTW you said low skills and not too expensive, take this setup and substitute in all the named items you can afford and your brutix will still be a very potent killer. Just make sure you get your BC skill up to at least III ---------------------

May be better off using a 20k scrambler rather than a 7.5k with a ship with such low agility and manouverability. ___________________________________

I use
6x 250mm's (best named i can afford at the time) loaded in antimatter 1x small graviton smartbomb or 1x small nos (again best named for budget, get alotta knave's out of rat's)
named ab named web tracking comp cap expander (friend found a nifty trick where with a expander where when at roughly 1/3 cap propperly managed the cap charges faster than it drains, works with all guns rep and tracking comp running)
2x rcu med arm rep II magstab overdrive
or alternatively swap the rails for regulated neutrons, the ab for mwd, and then the cap expander for a recharger. if you know you need to get in close
I prefer the rail setup for its versatility while on general guard duty. It has taken down everything from interceptor and assault frig up to other bc's. still needing to test it out on a hac tho. it does have a severe weakness ot being jammed. i tend to keep hammerheads in the drone bay.
the entire fit should run you less than 3-4 mil and that is if you buy pricey. almost all of my skill points are in gunnery, so you may not need the 2x rcu
also i have noticed that with jsut the rep II this is more durable than my megathron, and the cap endurance is noice
anyone have ideas to improve on this? it's serving me well, but im sure there are things i have not thought of.

terrible setup.
Smartbombs will kill your drones so they are useless. Overdrive is a waste of a slot. When you are using rails, you don't need manueverability, you just need to park yourself and wait for targets. Web is useless because you're using rails. Doesn't need and explanation at all.
Now, if this is for NPCing, ab/cap stuff might be usefull (however you have no armor tank on, so im doubting that). When you fit rails for pvp, you should go for the typical gank setup on anything higher then a frigate. That being said, mids should have 2 sensor booster IIs, 2x TRacking computer IIs.
Never fitted a rail-brutix before, but 2 RCUs seem a bit over the top. With AWU 3 and 1 RCU II you should be ok, if you need it at all after taking out the AB. I'd stick with the med rep to repair after battle then fit the rest with damage mods (3 mag stab and 1 tracking comp if you have the slot left).
You don't need to worry about your cap when you snipe because the ship will hopefully be dead before your cap runs out.

Now i will be among the first to admit that i am rather new on the pvp scene, however, because the setup has been effective more than ineffective im going to debate it being 'terrible' especially considering it is inexpensive, and works on limited skills, as the guy who started this thread had asked for.
As i mentioned above, i like the rail set for versatility. the primary purpose and mentality behind the kit is to defend miner's against both belt rat's and player raids. the situation where i dont know what im going to be fighting and i dont know what range i will be fighting them at, so i elected to go for something that would be less effective in close range while still capable, yet still effective against targets at medium range. it's not meant to be a solo pwnmobile, it is meant to be just effective enough to do multiple jobs with a single kit, and as with most things made for versatility 'jack of all trade's master of none'
-The web is to stop those pesky interceptor's and assault frig's that like to get to close. -The smartbomb is to kill the other guy's drones while my drones swarm on him and -The is still at range. or to add damage on when the target has closed and my drones are already dead. useing a smart while your own drones are in its range has the prerequisite skill of lvl V brain function defeciency -ab and od are to have some ability to control the range bracket, without them the brutix is just a slug with lots of guns. as the od reduces manuverability the only reason to have it is increase top speed meaning that it is there to close on the guy who is too far away, or to run from the guy who gets to close, and to maintain that range once you get there.
I'm not a particularly aged player, atm i cannot use alot of the really shiny t2 gear. my fund's are limited, and my experience and choices on the ship are based off of running into problems and then fitting a module to solve that problem. and for balancing versatility with effectiveness in light pvp situations this kit has proven effective. it's not a heavy combat kit. and for the role i have set it up for it has worked.
Of course if im going out for a a hunt im more likely to run a blaster kit. but if my m8's are mining and im guarding, or im doing some simple missions, the rail kit has proven capable of doing the job in many situations with relative ease and a solid endurance.
It's not made to be immortal, its not made for instant kills, its made to do enough damage to kill the other guy, and do it over a broad range bracket.
Now i do plan on adding tank soon as the skills train. but for what i have to work with it get's the job done. and seeing that this thread was started stating that skills and fund's were limited i figured throwing in something that i had found sucessful would not hurt.
Now for doing the same job, fitting in the multirole mentality, i would love to hear ideas for improvement.
The blaster setups mentioned above were quite welcome by the way and i will be getting some use out of them.

tried and true, i prefer 3 active hardeners, but i tend to be taking sentry fire when using my brutixes
@oyabun, my 1600RT thorax could kill that setup so easily, that is pretty much crap

SO then seeing as my "youll be instapwnd by anything" setup is obviously out. and the lot of you want to stubbornly preach the blaster kit's without answering either question this thread has posed, how about i put it in word's that are a bit more blatant and direct. As all kit's that have been listed seem to assume that everybody starts out with the ability to use T2 gear across the board, and that all new user's are granted 100m so that they can imeadiately purchase a fleet.
1. Useing T1 kit, and working with limited funds what effective brutix setups are there?
2. Are there efective rail setups for a brutix that do not suffer a severe vulnerability to small fast ships, while still being capable in combat against ships in the cruiser/BC classes?
I understand that you have all been playing long enough to cart around the galaxy packin the roll's royce of a fit, but keep things in perspective and lets assume that someone is working with a budget of 5mil to fully fit their brand new brutix, and not instantly die the minute they fly into lowsec, give those people advice. It doesnt answer a single question to simply say youll get your ass kicked if you use that so dont bother. it doesnt answer the question that started this thread to drop a full t2 kit on someone that has specifically asked what they can do with limited skill/isk resources.

1) Obviously, the exact same as T2, only using T1.
Electron blasters with some ions or nos, MWD, warp disruptor, webifier, cap injector, and a low slot tank consisting of a pair of medium armor reps, a pair of energized adaptive nanos, and then a damage control or magentic field stab or whatever, is the way to go.
Just remove that extra 'I' from all those setups. You are not changing the fact that the setup is fundamentally good, you are merely adjusting for skills. You seldom change the fundamentals of a T2 setup just because all you can use is T1.
2) No, there aren't.
The blaster setup shreds cruisers and BCs, and a combination of warp disruptor, X5 web, a single medium nos if you choose to fit one, and 5 medium drones, will eat a frigate before it can do anything to you. If there are multiple frigates, you are stuffed, and that's just the way it is.
A rail setup snipes NPCs nicely, but you will find the higher fitting requirements will work against your ability to fit dual medium armor reps. Plus, while drones and web will still work nicely against a lone frig, a larger ship which can dictate range of engagement, such as a MWD blaster Thorax or Brutix, will kill you with ease. So will a well-fitted AB Maller, to be honest.
Put simply, don't bother with rails on a Brutix because you sacrifice a great deal of flexibility, introduce all sorts of weaknesses, and gain little. In this ship, you are better off closing range yourself in a fast supertank, than shooting from far away while hoping nothing closes range on you. The bonuses and layout pretty much dictate this.

3x EANM II's/2x EANM II's, and 1x energized reactive II 2x Medium Armor Repair II's
and use Null ammo you get a very good range bonus and only lose 2 damage points plus your tracking stays the same, its an all around better ammo for blasters, Void is for capital and POS killing

The whole point of the Brutix is that it gets up close, real fast, and deals massive damage from point-blank range. That's the reason why pretty much all the blaster setups mentioned above have Microwarpdrives fitted. -----

and its my setup too.
I love the Brutix, its just wounder full in damage and tank. Just everybody flies basically the same setup. Which means It's very predictable :(
i do switch the magstab II to a damage control If I know I will engage 2+ ships :)
..sadly the only way you loose a brutix during the hunt is:
getting jumped by several people, atacking something what you can't catch (vaga, give me a hardtime) get jumped by an astarte/eos :(
otherwise this thing is stable enough to escape most gatecamps. i was used to be ceo and now I have nothing to say, this is so relaxing :) |
