Damage shedding from medium drones occurs below 125 sig rad. At 14, you'll be taking about 10 DPS from a flight of Hammerheads.

So shoot them with lights?

Resists and raw HP seem fine, for a micro sig. But you really do need the micro sig, because these ships are really quite thin, which is the idea I suppose. Shed 90% of the damage from your sig radius and just get alpha'ed off the field by a lucky long range pot shot.

The emphasis on sig tanking increases the importance of pilot skill necessary in minimising the risk of such pot shots. With the introduction of falloff, there's incentive to be changing position and getting closer at times to deliver higher reps, and maintaining speed and position to take advantage of such sig radius will be an interesting challenge. The emphasis on sig tanking also means that, just as these will be the most powerful in frig/dessie compositions, so too will small weapons be the most effective against them.

*golf clap* Truly, I have had something I already know extremely well explained to me. However, lucky shots are just that - luck. Keeping transversal up with a low-sig ship still sees you liable to taking a range of damage on any individual shot.

Tell me, O Explainer of Everything Obvious, what's the sig resolution on a Warrior II? Is it 25m? If your flight of Warriors does 80DPS on paper, how much is it really going to do against, say, a Deacon with a base 75% Explosive resist and 12m sig radius? Hmm? 10?

I would have thought Fozzie's figured out already how OP low-sig ships really are.

For instance, at 12m sig radius a BC will take about 20s to lock these ships. Without even a res damp on it. Battleships, probably 35-45s.

If you cover your bases with res damps, you will be able to avoid all damage entirely for the duration of a fight against the now-useless range of ships bigger than a T3D. GJ Fozzie.

thoe battlecruisers and battleships could always shoot the link ship and then work on not being caught without some kind of anti tackle support.

I think the bellicose just found its niche.

In fact, any of the minmatar painters could perform well here. All the way from the other side of the fight too. If a rapier of huggin were to apply a web and a paint, it really may be in trouble.

Which brings up another way-op sig tanking ship: hyena.
