Use a gecko and you will not have to manage it in any way, easily hit frigates (i use tracking script :P) and i see no point in sniping when its so easy to tank the spawns.
Release Gecko (aggresive ofc) and start shooting anything larger than frigates with your fury missiles. |

When your drones have to travel any meaningfull distance, the ships are not orbiting you anywhere close to the range sentries have problems tracking. Its not like i use my gecko at 70km, most ships either get close enough that travel time mean next to nothing or they stay at ranges where tracking is irrelevant.

I think you need to train some more drone skills, i have not seen more than 2 miss in a row for my gecko and most of the time its 2 hit frigates. When a frigate orbit you the gecko follow behind it and have very little problem landing hits, most missies are when it MWD in range. If we were talking something like a Dominix or Ishtar i would support using light but light drones vs RS bonused Gecko is not even a close match, land 1-2 hits and any non elite frigs are dead and most elite frigs are well into armor. Find a mission with 2 equal frigs, time how long they last against Gecko and lights (kill other stuff while they close orbit) |

This may be a noob querstion, but what does the "Transv: 976 m/s" and "Rad: 1891" m/s at the bottom of the picture mean? |

Transversal is logical number, no idea at what range the lsited transversal is but it have to be fairly close to get almost 1k ms transversal from a 287 ms ship.
Rad is generaly an angle measurement, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian and have nothing to do with m/s (meter/second) as its listed on the linked screenshot. |

Rad is generaly an angle measurement, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian and have nothing to do with m/s (meter/second) as its listed on the linked screenshot. 1) Here it is on a silver spoon - http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Turret_Damage. You should consider skilling Googlefu atleast to level 2. 2) I don't know if you know how math works...m/s is pretty important for calculating a Radian in this game. Without knowing the m/s you would only know 1 our of the 3 required points to calculate an angle. Having m/s gives you 2 points to plot after 1 second of travel.
you link for 1) only show "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs."
If you use 1891 ms as velocity for calculating the angle makes no sence at all when the target have a max speed of 287.5ms (we re talking about a Caracal with no prop mod). We still dont know directions and speed is impossible to read from the graph as the numbers are several time higher than the can possibly travel.
Its therefor safe to assume that the target ship in the graph is an afterburning cruiser that is approaching (favor gun over missile) |
