roadrage639 Caldari SHADOW FLEET	Posted - 2007.03.14 12:41:00 - [1] I have a megathron that I am going to be using in a gang so I dont really need much defense for what we are doing. I have my meds and high slots sorted but for my low slots I am not sure. I was thinking about a large armor rep and then a mixture of nano's and intertial stabs. How many of each should I take? I am using a domination MWD. Cheers ---------------- If You Can't Kill It, Slap It! The Man Who Runs Will Fight Again
Imechal Ravpeim International Multi-Player Consortium Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.03.14 13:10:00 - [2] You'll want some tank... Not sure how much PG you have left over, but try this Large armor rep 1600plate eanm damage control 2 mag stabs istab If you hate the plate and want all the speed you can muster then you can trade it off for another istab, or an eanm for a little more tank and speed

The Captian	Posted - 2007.03.14 13:24:00 - [4] Edited by: The Captian on 14/03/2007 13:23:01 erm this is just personally and it may not suit what you are going for but what i would use is, Highs: 7x neutron blasters Medium: the usual, named mwd web scram injector Low: 2xEANM II 2xMag stab II 2x1600 tungsten plates 1x dmg control Drones: 5x berserkers nice damage and a nice buffer with plates and eanm's The thing with it is since you are in a gang have a friend bring some armour maintenance drones or a remote rep and its even better, obv depending on how much of a gang you have you can swap things out, if you have millions of tacklers you may consider dropping the scram and maybe fitting some ew i personally wouldnt but still its an option. hope that helped if not ill go home now :P EDIT in the time i took to actualy finish(lunch came in the way) you said about speed etc so this dosent help much, all i can say is even a light tank is nice because it is possible that you are primaried so some tank is advisable

Darknar Gallente Ascendant Strategies Inc. The Volition Cult	Posted - 2007.03.14 14:25:00 - [6] how about 2 Istabs. 3 Magnetic feils stabalisers 1 overdrive or nano if you prefer. and 1 LAR 2 Istabs for MWD speed and acceration. 3 mag stabs for gankage damage(if your not using turrets then a mix of overdrives and nanos (whatever you prefer) or an extra LAR insanity is just a point of veiw F33R MY 1N34N1TY.
PMolkenthin Contraband Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.03.14 14:50:00 - [7] Im not quite sure what your trying to acheive with this setup, but if you want to get up close, go with a standard blasterthron setup. If you want to move fast, then 3x istab 3x nano LAR II, but if you get webbed, you will die like a sack of sh1t. If your going with speed then use Electron Blasters with NULL and maybe a tracking comp so you can hit stuff while slowing down. Out of curiosity, what are you using on the mids and highs? ______________
DarkElf Caldari Veto.	Posted - 2007.03.14 15:35:00 - [8] i'm a little confused by this tbh. ur looking at using all ur low slots just to get to ur target? if so then 4 i-stabs and 3 nanos will do ya with an mwd. seems a little strange tho to me. DE
Dai Kyoko	Posted - 2007.03.14 16:32:00 - [9] megathrons arnt designed to do speed... they use mwd to overcome the warp-in distance then lay down heavy fire and tank a bit -------------------------------- Quantity of ore stolen today - 30k m3
Neon Genesis Gallente The Landed Gentry	Posted - 2007.03.14 16:35:00 - [10] If you post the purpose we can give you a decent answer. And the highs and mids.
Dai Kyoko	Posted - 2007.03.14 16:37:00 - [11] 7x electron II usual stuff 2x mag-stab-1x DCU II-2x eanm II-1x LAR II-1x 1600mm tungsten 2x gun damage rigs 60-70% resists max skills guns + null do void damage with nice range pure smashy smashy fit -------------------------------- Quantity of ore stolen today - 30k m3
Crellion Art of War Cult of War	Posted - 2007.03.14 16:43:00 - [12] The OP is moot if you dont say what your are using in highs and mids (sekrit?) then how can you beg for advice on your lows. Anyway from what you have posted here and there I assume your gang is heavy on EW or just going for 1v111 ganks and you have NOSes up top and tackling stuff in mids in which case you can use 2 i-stabs and 5 nanos in lows. However its a silly use of a Mega. Only if you are desperate for the extra Neut/Nos or two that the Mega's grid can offer compared to a Domi is it even remotely sane using a "Nanomega". Anyway enjoy your sekrit wepun... Arguably my opinions represent to an extent the opinions of my alliance and in particular circumstances give rise to a valid "casus belli" claim.
gu o Amarr	Posted - 2007.03.14 17:25:00 - [13] TBH if your in a gang your not going to be the one tackling...least I hope not. Fit it for damage and tank, if you can take the hits while approaching your better off than getting there and realizing you cannot take the beating. This is my favorite fitting as it can take a beating and keep on ticking. You wont be the fastest guy out there but can tank for a good while. Hislots:7 Ion blaster, 1 heavy Nos Midslots: 100MN AB, Heavy injector, web, disruptor Lowslots:T2 LAR, 3 hardners (xp,kin,therm), eanm T2, DCU T2, MFS T2 Rigs:Armour rep amount x 2, armr rep cycle time rig you can fit 2 LAR if make make some changes reactor controls-tanks like a hype + some "and she's buying a stairway to heaven" She is still buying it? dang woulda though she has an escalator there by now.
DarkElf Caldari Veto.	Posted - 2007.03.14 17:45:00 - [14] why are so many ppl just posting their setups on here without even reading the thread. confusing as it may be, simply posting ur setup is kinda pointless unless u've read what he wants DE
Fierce Fury	Posted - 2007.03.14 20:17:00 - [15] Edited by: Fierce Fury on 14/03/2007 20:18:44 I wonder why so many people are suddenly asking for gallente nano-setups. Inspired what the fancy minamtar nano*****s can do? Or rather, infected by the nanofad? Our ships are not designed for that ffs! I can't see much concept in what youre asking for, tbh. The megathron can't do much damage while running around in circles. Even with its tracking bonus, it can only hit stuff with the lower-tier guns (Electrons, D250mms, maybe Ions sometimes), and only in web ranges for that matter, wich is totally not what nanoships are about. If you just want to get in and out fast, it won't work either. Youre not in a nanophoon, 1 web is enough to shut you down, so this will be a suicide if your opponent has any means of a tank.
Snikkt Time Cube Syndicate Daikoku Trade Syndicate	Posted - 2007.03.14 21:08:00 - [16] Good god, what on earth would possess anyone to throw two 1600mm plates on the Mega? As if it wasn't massive enough, now it'll turn and move like a plated brick. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I think mobility is an important part in combat, no matter what ship you fly (besides cap ships) ------------------- My opinions (ie, all of my posting here) are not my corporations.

Fierce Fury	Posted - 2007.03.14 21:26:00 - [18] Edited by: Fierce Fury on 14/03/2007 21:26:22 Actually, the mass addition a Megathron gets from 2 1600mm plates is less than 2% of its own mass, resulting in only a 0.5 second addition to its default 180 degree turning time. So to cut it short, 1-2 plates won't make any significant difference on a BS. As opposed to IStabs, ironically. So, the solution to IStabs/Nanos: make them work like plates, only reversed.
Fuglife STK Scientific	Posted - 2007.03.14 22:45:00 - [19] I know its not the point of your thread, but just fit 350 rail t2 with javlin and 3 damage mods, much easier than faffing around with a setup like what your going for. Still if you do insist on a setup like that deffo include a dcu.

You'd think throwing on 10 feet of armor plating would effect it a little more. I didn't know it was that slight. I really like your idea. EVE needs it. Either the plates need to be heavy, or the IStabs/nanos need to not be so drastic. Originally by: hUssmann Originally by: Snikkt Maybe I'm an idiot Maybe?
