I'm going to assume you mean a fast megathron as opposed to a nanothron:
Not a solo setup...and tbh I've never tried it:
7 Electrons (tracking, but I spose fit whatever fits with the rest of the setup), 1 hvy nos (or whatevr you want) 1 MWD, 1 Sensor Booster, 2 Hvy Cap Injectors 2 Large Reps, 1 EAMN, 1 DCU, 2 I-Stab, 1 Nanofiber
Drones too of course. _________________________ ~Thor Xian, Star Commander

Some of these setups are completely idiotic.
I wonder if the people posting them do only missions in hisec, or mine veld all day.
That said.
The only half-decent nanomega setup is the Heikki way. And that is what jamesw posted.
8x smartbombs MWD, Injector, scram, web 2x istabs, 6x nanos
3x propellant injection vent I rigs.
3% hardwirings and zor's implant recommended.
Also, I can't believe that after all these nano threads not one of you can get the goddamn istab:nano ratio correct.
You fail at nanos.

4x Neutron Blaster Cannon II [Null L] 4x Heavy Diminishing Power System Drain I
100MN MicroWarpdrive II Fleeting Warp Scrambler I PWNAGE Target Painter Heavy Electrochemical Capacitor Booster I
2x Local Hull Conversion Inertial Stabilizers I 5x Local Hull Conversion Nanofiber Structure I
Rigs : Propellant Injection Vent I Propellant Injection Vent II Hybrid Ambit Extension II
Can go 4.5km/s with snake set (around 3.3km/s without). Turrets hit a target of 4km/s transversal and 4k sig radius at a range of 20km
The problem with turret based nano-ships is that they are fine as long as your target also uses MWD (aka another nano-ship), but due to the crappiness of the turret tracking formula you cant hit stationary targets while orbiting, unlike a nano-phoon/domi which exploit this limitation with their non-tracking weapons.
To my experience, the only turret ships that make up good nano-boats are hurricane and harbinger.. maybe drake but they are better off with passive shield tanks.

Unless the ship is really light to begin with and/or you're using faction/t2 nanos, it's usually better to fit 3 istabs and the rest nanos... That's my experience anyway, and I've tested it with nearly every ship I've put nanos on.

You couldn't be more wrong.
Give me nearly any shiptype (except industrials iirc), and I will prove to you, with proper math that 2 istabs + nanos is faster than 3 istabs + nanos (provided you have the same amount of slots).

Before another lemming posts..let me remind you that megathrons have 7...SEVEN turrets, ffs im drunk and I remember this...if you don't know this GTFO of the thread.
That said, plz don't ruin a mega by nano-ing it. But if you must have a setup...
2 arbalest cruise mix of nuet/nos
faction/deadspace mwd faction/t2 scram heavy cap booster w/800s TD, web...w/e
2 local istabs 5 faction/local nanos
5 ogre IIs/beserker IIs
speed rigs and implants
Best case you'll be nerfed, worst case you'll be popped and someone gets nice loot, have fun

Let me first say I think nanomega is idiotic. Only reason to fly nanobs is solo or in small group againstthe odds. In that scenario Mega doesnt fit as you can at least fly Domi with same skills.
Having said that: DicoMega I guess works (if you like that sort of thing, for me smartbombs are something to refine).
Also tackler Mega works as support in a NanoBS gang/fleet. They have more grid than Domis so you can tackle betteer. I mean fit the same amount of heavy Nos AND a couple of Neuts on top...as to why you would do that (nanoBS gang)... beats me but have fun anyway... Arguably my opinions represent to an extent the opinions of my alliance and in particular circumstances give rise to a valid "casus belli" claim. |

God this thread is depressing, smartbomb setup is the only one that could possibly be effective, everything else is a flipping joke. If anyone actually uses one of these setups ingame please don't resub to eve, we don't need you.

few guys from my alliance killed a nano navy mega last week.... must say.. its them most useless crap u can do whit that ship..
salvage/looting... yes.. pvp... no setup EVER will make you more usefull than a normal mega

People who are saying that nanothrons are stupid are giving the best reason to fit one. You will catch alot more stuff if people arent expecting you to be able to run them down.

Never realised there was an optimal ratio. How do you work that out mathematically?

not exacly a Nano setup. but its still fast enough for the job of being fast. (i just pulled this setup from my backside so it may not work) /me goes of to test server
low slots 2 Istabs 3 magstabs 2 LAR
medium slots microwarp drive webber 2 cap boosters
high slots 7 blaster cannons that you can fit. cruise or torp launcher
MWD up to your opponat . activate webber open up cannons and fire.
no its not a nano setup. its a get in there fast and do as much damage as possible setup.
oh and medium or heavys drones respectivly depending on what you prefeer to use
note: i dont usuallly use battleships. but this setup pretty much works on my brutix. 2MAR instead of 2 LAR and 2 Magstabs instead of . and only 1 cap booster.
Istabs FTW I fight true gallente style. with blasters microwarp drives and drones all at the same time. Do or die is |

Jamesw and Ryysa already gave valid setups, so more about issue of Megathron being used for suboptimal role:
In NPCing the best setup is just what advertised; most optimal thing to play with. Yet PvP is like poker: you won't win just by having good hand; you need to take the other players in account as well.
That is, in modern 0.0 most people have some kind of intel all the time. If they scan a Dominix near gate, they won't go there if they know that nanodomi would splat them.
Discomega fits that role somewhat well; the fitting isn't obvious, yet effective in limited circumstances. Nanosetup even gives the pilot the option to effectively select the encounters he is likely to win. And grin at those many brave ceptor pilots who go like 'ooh, Railmega 80km from gate, I'll go tackle it'.
Just remember to pick some other ship when you go out there with your mates in ceptors..

Heikki is an insane mega pilot. Listen to the man :)
On the other hand, his version of the nanomega keeps bumping stuff out of our range. It (and Heikki) needs nerfing!

admittdly i did try a MWDIstaboverdriveathron on the testserver once.
with all tech 1 gear i managed 3km/s in a straight line and set my orbitingdistance to 500.
well suffice to say it looked quite ridiculas. the mega looked like it was flying upwards all the time. but in a circle of course. except at 12:00 when it did a full 360 turn. and with the overdrives even without the MWD on it still went at a fairly decent speed. shame it had no tank/gank/guns.
insanity is just a point of veiw F33R MY 1N34N1TY. |

For both our and your own good, please crosstrain Minmatar and fly a phoon instead. First, you'll get more speed and egoboost out of it, and secondly, it will be much easier fot us other people to avoid you nano-*****s. Thank you. ---
