This is an initial setup for a Chimera, that I would be looking to use on my 1st Carrier I will have in game........... 
Obviously I know that there are the transfer arrays to be used but at this stage I am not in a position to use them so will bring those on eventually, this is to be a setup for everyday rather than full on fleet ops or POS take downs.
RIGS
Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer 1
Capacitor Control Circuit 1
Core Defence Field Extender1 OR Anti-Explosive Screen Reinforcer 1
HI
Drone Control Unit
Drone Control Unit
E500 Heavy NOS
Cloaking Device
Smart Bomb 2
MED
Ballistic Deflection 2
Heat Dissipation 2
Photon Scattering 2
Stasis Webifier 2
Invulnerability Field
Sensor Booster 2
XL Shield Booster (until I have skill set for Capital Sheild Booster)
LOW
Damage Control Unit 2
3x Power Diagnostic 2
DRONES
Fighters of all types ..... I will be able to fly 10 Drones at a time with the Control Units and Carrier Skills
Thoughts please.........

All good points chaps and thanks for thoughts so far.
I looked at the Rigs to provide greater resist and reduce the amount of damage received, but, if the general feeling is to use Cap recharge Rigs, that would make sense to speed up time to be able to jump again.
Point taken on the Faction mods will do some research into prices on those and sourcing those.......
Beginning to hear & understand the need to get that Capital Shield Booster skills sorted before flying my shinny new ship, so I am going to have to resist the temptation ........ 
The Webber was because I have been told that fighters have a problem with fast moving ships etc and this would allow the fighters to bring their guns to bear on those ships....... However, if a 2nd Invul field would be better then would loose the webber.
The Cloak was a precaution to allow the ship to disappear if the poo was to hit the fan and allow for the ship to give them the slip...... 
Damn expensive and time consuming these Capital ships .........

Ok roger that loose the NOS ......... done ........ cheers ......
Cloak was more a case of concealing the ship if necessary and just hide ...... not very . If in a fight know the cloak is no use what so ever, but, if jumping into system then gives me the ability to conceal the carrier from hostiles while the cap recharges. I have seen Mothership's decloak off the starboard side of ship in 0.0 and that was a very scarry thing to see......
I am still wondering what happened with the planners when they made the Caldari Chimera Carrier ...... small or what ....  but I am so looking forward to getting in one.....

Thanks again to everyone who has contributed to this Thread so far.... been intresting and had me scratching my head just a little........ It certainly has opened my eyes to the numerous ways that you can setup a Chimera Carrier....
All points taken on board and being thoroughly digested.
I had an  last night relating to implants and hardwiring. I have heard that Crystal Implants have no effect in Carriers is that the case  Also if that is true are the hard wiring ones useless as well
I have ISK to buy these BUT i am damned well not going too if they do nothing to enhance the Carriers attributes ......

Anyone have any ideas of which Hard Wiring implants are worth buying for the Chimera
How do you chaps who fly the Carriers, group your fighters together Do you mix up the damage types or stick to one type of damage.
Chimera can hold 16 fighter, would actually store 15 fighter, therefore, do you group the EM dealers together etc.....
What other drones would be essential to the operations of the ship in that last 5000m3 of space in the drone bay assuming only 15 fighters in there.

Is it my imagination or are Typhoon's invulnerable to the fighters with their speed......! I had 10 fighters on a Typhoon and they had seriuos issues catching it....
Apart from using a slot in the mids for a Webber to counter this issue, are the webber drones any good
My latest thinking is to set up fighter groups to match the quantity you can deploy. So if you can launch 12 drones at a time, have 2 groups of 6 set up. Each group contains 4 fighter, 0/1x Target Painting drone & 2/1x Webber Drone. Would this work or help
Rather disappointed with the Carrier at the moment  but I think that is because I have not been thinking more carefully with regards other drones to use alongside the fighters......

Are you saying that the use of the webber, painter, energy drain or ecm drones or any of the others are not any good so not worth even considering in general or that in this particular case.
Is the idea of mixing up the drones a sound one or waste of time.......
I realise that if the fighters warp off then the other standard drones are no use but was thinking more of combat around the Carrier itself.

I have a question to all of you Battle hardened Chimera pilots, from a novice Chimera pilot.
Whilst the setups have been thoroughly discussed here, part of a Chimera's setup is its ability to deal damage with its drones.....
What has been puzzling me is how to use them effectively and for this case lets assume we are not in a huge fleet battle. I know to leave 1 fighter out of the line up and use that free drone space to stock up with all the other types of drone.
However, what is not clear is whether to mixup the drones for example does sending out 12 drones which consist of 8 fighters and then a mix of Webber drones, Targetpainting Drones, Warp Scramble or ECM drones. Therefore does having 3 webber medium drones give me 3pts on a target and effectively hold him down
I know that these drones will not warp away if the fighters fly away but I am trying to see if mixing these things up will do me any good or should i just send out the fighters to deal with most targets..........
8 Fighters
3 Warp Scramble Drones - Light, Medium & Heavy
1 Target Painting Drone
Will this have any effect on the ships I tell the drones to kill
Help me understand if i am barking up the wrong tree here before I buy BPO's for all these drone types......
Cheers everyone for your thoughts
