Enjoy the OPnes of this ship while you can, cause it's gonna get gutted like a fish come the next patch right after it's release.

If math isn't superbad, around 10k ehp with 5.5k hull ehp. Needs 1%-PG imp. Pushes through the entire AAR-mag in about 20secs, that's long before your capacitor is dry. Deals 698.5dps cold without implants at spitting range, but has scram and two webs anyways.
With 2 3%-hardwirings and heat, you're looking at 847dps.

Without no cap booster and If they have neuts, you'd be dead before your AAR runs out of it's first mags. And for some reason unlike the ASBs, without cap the AARs won't rep. And trust me, NO ONE is gonna want to engage this little dragon without neuts.

Cause I'm totally going to engage a sentinel in such a fit

Just because it would run dry eventually is far from a reason to fit a CB. I'm flying AAR canes with a neut and mwd. People told me that doesn't work when in fact I didn't cap once yet. Same is expected from the hecate. You got ~900-1k capacitor. If you manage to cap yourself out by running that AAR or similar, please skill yourself or get good at target selection.

So will this ship be used for exploration with the probe scanner CPU reduction?

Yes, that's one of it's uses...

Don't get me wrong, I like this fit. Since the ship is slow it's gonna need dual webs to hold a target down while hammering out 800+ dps. I just wanted an explanation from you on how you were planning on sustaining your cap without boosters since this ship is way more cap thirsty than the other T3Ds.

Probably not one of the best uses of it though eh? :)

The gank buffer fit isnt going to be a problem, high dps ships are ok. The problem are going to be the dual rep fit ones that nothing can break alone.

The dual rep fits run dry within a minute, minute and a half even with a cap booster running full bore and the MWD off. The local tank is ridiculously powerful but a big weakness is even a single light neut or nos will be enough to run you out in a handful of seconds.

If you have near-perfect fitting skills you can fit a T2 ACR, downgrade the guns to Ions and fit a Nos yourself though, so that might help with the cap issue.

e; it still has the massively glaring weakness in that it is the slowest unpropped T3D, probably the slowest sub-cruiser period.

Stuff

Nah it needs a weakness, these ships are good enough. A weakness is needed and this ones weakness is clear to spot.

Still going to marry it and have its babies though

Agreed, otherwise it will be like 10mn svipul all over again.

I am sad that the Hecate is not going to be a badass light/medium drone platform. I know everyone (myself included) bitches about how OP drones are but they are supposed to be Gallente's unique weapon system and I was hoping the Hecate would do something interesting in the drone department.
