i've been trying to figure out a way to set up a BC to tank for miners in 0.0 while using the mining foreman link to increase productivity. anyone have any ideas about the best way to do this is?
so far the best i've come up with is Myrmidon Miner Support |

Edited by: FireFoxx80 on 07/03/2007 13:31:40 Without looking at that other thread (too many windows open), threefold:
1) Learn the NPC's damage types and tank accordingly. 2) A Drake has an insane passive shield recharge. 3) Command Ships can tank even more (and run more than one gangmod)
Edit: I've heard of people setting up Ferox's to tank indefinitely, so it shouldn't be too tricky.

Im using already a bc (ferox) to tank and have my foreman link activated while alt/gang mining. The setup that i like is the passive tanking, because ferox and drake are the best for that. I really dont know how well a myrm can to that role because my tanker is Caldary, but in any case all you have to do is to fit your ship and test it in action

I checked the OP's link he posted. That setup is trying too much, you can't tank yourself. _and_ boost a bunch of mining ships, _and_ run gang mods.

Agreed. If you are going to tank and use link, you should fit only tanking modules and link. Drop the guns, they're useless. You cannot kill rats, becuse when they will respawn, they could target barges (and according to Murphy law they will). And against PC pirates, well...
Same for shield transporters. Rats should shoot at you, not barges.

The 'acceped tactic':
- Tanker warps to a belt, waits until all rats have aggro'd him - Miners then warp in, rats should ignore the miners ships
Now, the only things you need to worry about are: - Rats despawning, this will mean they will respawn and potentially target your miners. - Rats targeting your miners, or a miner somehow shooting a rat (drones?) This is rare, but sometimes they switch targets. - Other players.

from what i am gathering, i should not try to kill any of the rats, just let them beat on me while the miners mine? i am new to the gang mining thing as i usually mine solo in a domi that i have setup to tank the rats indefinately, and i usually kill the rats off with my drones. sometimes while i am still killing the rats, more spawn, would that still happen if i never engage them and just let them shoot at me? if it does still happen how could i keep the new rats from targeting the miners? |

Edited by: Aindrias on 08/03/2007 18:31:39 We currently use this in 0.0 and it's normally a Myrmidon tanking the the Rats. We have to tank True Sansha's, which is good because EM is easy on the armor. With Gallente bonuses to armor repair, moderate tanking mods with a good armor repper and cap recharging is key. The mining foreman link is fairly easy to fit with that setup. Or, heck.. use a BS to tank, it's real easy then.
Do not kill the rats, ever.

Originally by: Pax Deora sometimes while i am still killing the rats, more spawn, would that still happen if i never engage them and just let them shoot at me?
No, not more. They respawns. It's nice tactic for rathunters: find good rats (like 3x 1.8M), kill BSs and leave frigs/cruises. Return to belt half hour later, kill BSs, leave frigs/cruises. It's even more borig than mining, but works.

If you won't kill them, they will never respawn, and won't target miners.
