Hey guys, so im reading all these posts on the baddon fits and im just drawing complete blanks... everyone says the cap is terrible - well i am pretty skilled, no implants 3x cap rechargers and i have zero cap problems, i run all lasers with conflag, tracking comp 3 energized adaptive and a t2 large repper constantly - cap stable at 39%... the only sacrifice is no AB/MWD, but if i were to fit one i could pulse it without being absolutely capless.
my problem in the baddon is range - people say that apoc is better for sniping, so i made a tachyon t2 build... 8 guns required a reactor control but i crammed em in there, still cap stable and my range with optimal range script/Aurora is 148+37!!!!!!!! now i read other posts and people are saying you cant snipe - my trouble is i can rarely even get at that extreme a range.
so im looking for the best combination of crystals and guns in order to be able to fire at rats at all basic ranges - i need the best combo of tracking comp/script/crystal/laser to work effectively at 10-50, 50-100 and 100-120 (dont think any more is practical since i can already get more and found it pointless in most missions)
also - just a general question but i see everyone spec hardens, i just go 3x energized adaptive and i can tank most l4s indefinitely unless i agro the whole damn spawn + 2 waves or something ridiculous like that... named char hit me with 200 damage penetrates and its just not a problem to stay at full armor and 50%+ cap... my problem is damage projection, which is wierd since everyone here says that baddon does big damage but cos of cap cant damage and tank.
not posting a build because i dont have one, im still playing around with it and am looking for advice on what to get - im not looking to spend big, so t2 is as expensive as Ill go (no faction please, i know they are awesome but im not spending that much isk on em)
thanks for reading and i hope you guys can help, i been out the game for years and i remember hating this thing for its horrendous cap use - now i come back and its so OP i dont know how to make it work like i want :D :D |

you got a point - but im poor atm, what would be the best combo with the mods i already got laying around (t2 lasers of every kind, alot of cap mods etc - normal amarr t2 stuff) please include a summary of ranges and crystals that you guys use... i see some people use t2 crystals... some people go faction...some people use normal L crystals or a mix of the aforementioned - whats the best combo of these at different ranges for maximum damage?
no idea if it matters but im running missions out of lustrevik in minmitar space - mostly angels with some amarr navy/caldari navy rats. |

i get its a waste - but it seems to work better for the angels (wierd i know) i tried going active with kin/exp but for some reason they shredded me way quicker than they did when i went EANM II.... maybe just bad luck on a mission or something but the difference is significant... honestly i can sit there and tank whole camps for 4-5mins without actually getting under 50% cap, back in the day we used to fit t2 meds as a constant rep and t2 large as a backup for pulsing - i see this is not done anymore...
at any rate thank you very much to zhillia and elitatwo for the very comprehensive explanations and thats exactly what i needed to know - already got a mobile depot, and im thinking if i find a way to fit a MJD (im yet to use one, did not exist in my day) i can jump out to 100, drop a depot and start shredding with beams and then switch out to pulses once they get under 60 or so... and i will get faction crystals - i just didnt want faction guns as they are too pricy... crystals are acceptable.
thanks again guys - very appreciated! :))

very good replies and im gonna invest in a nightmare, i like the ngeddon too, but always found the apoc model less phallic-y :D
i got the SP to run em, i was just being cheap and had a baddon laying around, but tbh i earn enough in it to warrant getting a NM in a week or so... back to grinding for that NM ^^
thanks alot - these forums and you guys rock! <3 :3

voetius -
did solo L4's consist of warping in - killing as much as possible and bugging out or could you tank it cap boosting?... cos sometimes they hurt my tank and im cap stable running a repper and an AB autocycle - but then again not all my armor skills are at 5... some at 3, some at 4 |
