And don't need to resort to ad hominem replies.

So what you're meaning to say is that we shouldn't add your drone dps to the total, duly noted.

In case of the hype it'll use its drones vs frigates while the rails take care of the bigger targets, so IS added, and in cases when you don't have/want to move and there's long range targets you have the option of launching the wardens.


So, your Rokh fit is not what I would have done but we'll use yours for the comparison.

yours does 481 dps while not making use of drones most of the time, mine does 541 on turrets alone, which it will apply just fine due to two tracking comps. On top of that it WILL use its drones more often, but even without that the dps increase is about 12% (which is massive given how people will commit murder for 5% implants). Even more so because the lower your dps becomes the closer you get to a BS NPC's tank, making it take WAY longer. So 12% increase right away, and on top of that possibly WAY more due to lights/sentries.

And that all assumes you're using antimatter the whole time, which you're not.

On top of that there's the possibly that you waste time due to MJD cycle or not being able to angle your MJDs to get to the next mission target. The Hype in this case can choose, he can AB to the gate if it's close enough (Hype will travel 25-60km in the time it takes MJD to cycle) OR it can use its own MJD if the situation favours it.

And when the mission favours it you switch to blasters and deal a ton more dps, what's the Rokh going to do in that case?

You keep saying how you lose drones all the time, which is just not the case.

That or just wait till they red box you and keep an eye on them so the second they yellow box, meaning they're switching, you'll have enough time to pull them in. It's not difficult.

However I will concede an important point, one that you kinda missed :P, that the Rokh's dps isn't affected by BS skill lvl

Don't exaggerate. And no, if you had you'd have said so :)

Id say nearly 0.

That.

p.s. you still haven't shown me where I stated the Rokh ought to beat a marauder.

You had made the point that since you could find a ship that did more dps than the Rokh that no one should ever fly the Rokh under any circumstances. I was simply pointing out that by that logic no one should ever fly anything but a Marauder for level 4's to show how asinine your point was.

No, because you're simply exaggerating and regurgitating the same points over and over.

No. I made the point that since the OP was skilling Gallente anyway there's no reason to sidegrade to Caldari as it has, in the long run, nothing to offer for hybrid users compared to Gallente.
