ok, I'm no expert at minmatar ships but it seems you have lots of spare grid on that. I'd suggest something like:
H - 8 x 800mm II M - MWD, scram, cap injector, Xlarge booster and 2x invulnII L - atleast 2-3 gyros and use the remaining slots for fitting mods (if it needs them).

id recommend in all cases to get as much advantage from the big points of the ships : 8 guns, and large grid
so yes go for 8x 800 if you can fit them ------

How I would change it:
High slots: 8x 800mm Repeating Arty II
Med slots: Sensor Booster II -> Heavy Cap Booster Thermal & Kinetic Hardener > 2x Invul Field II
Low Slots: 2x PDS II -> 2x Gyro II 1x PDS II -> Damage Control II
Rigs: 1x EM Hard Rig 1x Kinetic Hard Rig 1x Thermal Hard Rig ---

damn fast response, i like it  
But going for the 800mm ac II fitting, won't that result in far less tank?

Nope you can fit them all because that is the fit I used on my Maelstrom. ---

I am not referring to being able to fit it all. I am wondering how good you can still tank the damage you receive when fighting, as the em res. will be very low imo.

I would suggest fitting rigs for cap and/or falloff, and use med slots for resists instead of cap injector and/or mwd.
This is not a solo ship imo, and you should have tacklers with you.

Use rigs to reduce booster cap usage, and if you use an MWD fit a mass reduction rig to remove maelstrom worst problem.. weight.
Also with BS 5 use a XL booster 1 Bosot amplifier and a rig to recude booster cycle times. And you dont need high resistances (2 invul are enough). You will be like tanking hundreds of DPS pure.. before resists...
If brute force doesn't solve your problem.. then you are not using enough!! |

good. And if you can get a tackler.. drop that scrambler for a injector. So you dont have any cap issue. Pretty much nothing can cross your tank other than an abaddon.

fit this:
8x800mm II
XL II, 2x invul II, injector, 20km, mwd
3x dmg mod, 1x damage control, 1x whatever you need for it to fit

You can't solo in a maelstorm its to slow and to solo you have to armor tank it so lose its bonus.
Maelstorm works well if you just go full gank with 1200/800's and have another player hold the enemy down for you. !

With this BS you will need Cap. In your opening post you have the 2 NOS to help sustain your cap. In the set ups other are suggesting your going for all guns and the cap booster. Yes you have less mids slots for tanking or whatever.
One thing you do not state is what your intentions are with this set up. PVE or PVP there are better set ups for this. Your set up might not be bad in PVE but I'm guessing in PvP you are a slow large target and you will be put out of your optimal range for your guns. Also why people say fit the MWD. The 880 have long range and with your 20 km scrambler you will want to stay at a range 10-20 km. Your curent set up will not do this.
I have not done much with this ship but just from looking at your set up problems I see. 1. Nothing to control your optimal range, so you have to be able to tank like a mother, and minmatar ships tend to not be the best tankers. 2.Lost of resistance mods/rigs and all these still stack agaisnt each other I belive to replacing one or 2 of these with cap or speed would be better.
anyway this is all just my oppinon best of luck.

I find the pvp/pve discussion a bit irrelevant for tier 3 BSes
If you fit a pure pvp setup on mael, you will be able to solo most if not all missions, and definitely solo rat anywhere
Those ships are beasts

Edited by: Kagura Nikon on 09/01/2007 15:51:02 Maelstrom should not be hiunting anything solo! Anything dumb enough to not escape before it gets close is reaaaly dump. Maelstrom should warp in fight after tacklers have engaged a batteship force that was secure of its superiority, and now will find itself with a target too tough to break.
Cap booster should do the trick for that case. Unsing Scramblers or web on a maelstrom is @*!@(#!@!@@(#!@)#)!@#)!@
and about thanking like a mother.. show me a ship thta can tank better than a maelstrom!!! A XL faction booster with 37% bonus over an amplifier 305 bonus and you get like 1500 shiled per cycle!

I use this setup with a tackler:
8x 800mm AC II
XLarge Shield Booster II Shield Boost Amp II EM Hardener II Therm Hardener II Invul Field II Heavy Cap Injector II
2x Gyrostab II 2x PDU II 1x DCU II
The tackler does all the ewar you need and you dont need to worry about range with 60km falloff with Barrage  Rigs are beyond my price limit atm (filthy cheapskate here) so i cant really consider them but i would prolly go in for Cap Recharge Rigs to try to counter the horrible cap nerf on t2 ammo.

You can use falloff rigs and then not use barrage. They are quite cheap (costed me 3.4 million to make each one of a batch of 6)

Ok to get this topic back on track 
I plan on using the Maelstrom for solo or small gang (around 5 members). It is a partial long term plan but how would this setup be then
Highs: 8x 800mm II
Medium: 1x Xlarge shield booster II 1x faction mwd (the one that uses 600 cap) 2x invuln. II 1x cap injector 1x sensor booster II/scrambler (depending on being solo or in small gang)
Lows: 3x Gyro II 1x Damage control 1x tracking enhancer II/fitting modules
Rigs: 1x Reduce shield boost cycle 1x em res. 1x shield boost cap need reduction
Implants: full low grade crystal set

Or you can use falloff rigs and still use barrage and hit 45km falloff with barrage ;) ---------------------------------------- Thou Shalt "Pew Pew" |
