OK, I've just gotten into a Pilgrim. I've been training for it for months and months (half of my EVE career with no payoff) and now with Revalations I'm not sure how to fit it. Basically my dilemma is that I want to hunt belts in lowsec with it or kill lazy ratters and miners in 0.0. Before patch a Raven seemed to be the Pilgrims specialty 1v1, but after patch a single caldari ECM jams less than a single Multi pre-patch against Caldari. :-( While bringing the Pilgrim back into balance where Caldari are concerned as a Pilgrim pilot I need to find a way to kill these nassssty Ravens.

After testing my T2 drones w/ full bonuses against a Drake and Ferox passive tank I've decided to avoid those altogether unless I have support.

Nosdomis will leave me with too little cap to run my tank despite my neut/nos bonuses. (No real change from RMR)

Blasterthrons probly won't be able to track me but their sets of Ogres will hurt, even more so if T2. Despite being a very cap relient ship I doubt if I can tank a full set of Ogre IIs long enough to chew through a 'Thron without bonuses despite his incapacitated tank. I'll have to do some testing.

I really don't know much about Amarr or Minmitar BS. Minnies have some missles that I can't dodge with transversal and disruption, and unless I fit dual webs I doubt I can hold a Nanophoon down, plus he'll Nos more than me, Amarr sometimes do the Nos bit too.

With the overall HP buff and low drone DPS even at T2 with high skills I'm wondering if there is a BS left that the Pilgrim can solo anymore. While I will have gang support much of the time sometimes you just want to go hunting alone, y'know? And mining ships just don't make you feel warm and fuzzy after ganking em. So I was wondering if I can take out a BS solo in REV and what setup you suggest. Here is the setup I wanted pre-Rev.

High
Cloak
2x best named neut (only run until enemy is out of cap)
1x best named nos (to sustain my tank off whatever the ship regens after losing cap)

Mid
AB II
Web, best named
Scram, whatever I need to fit
Turret Disruptor, best named
Caldari ECM, best named

Low
MAR II
800mm plate
2x Hardeners (Kinetic+Thermal) (Best named for fitting reqs until I get Recon V)
1x EANM II

Is this still a useful setup? Will switching the AB for a 2nd Caldari Jammer really help against Ravens? How long can I tank torps for with this tank? Should I fit and ECM damage mod instead of that EANM? As a rookie Pilgrim pilot I await my "education". Be gentle!

what you seem to be forgetting is that without cap all ships, with the exception of minimatar ones cant use thier weopons. a raven with a passive tank for instance may be able to tank you for a while but with no cap he has to rely on his meager drone supply to defend himself. kill off his drones with yours and then set to work on him.

the only real problem would be a nos domi. and thats only if you get too close. use your nos bonus and you can out range him and still take his cap and kill his drones with yours. you should be able to tank 5 heavies long enough to kill them. and yes i know with nano domis they can just run at you but the mwd he need sto use to get to you sucks cap like mad and with your nos on him it will hurt even more.


each situation and ship is different....use your head and common sence to make an educated guess as to his setup and you'll be killing be's left right and centre with this nossing beast./ :D
