So I was thinking of getting a set of HG implants instead of buying gank magnet mods for my level 4 battleships. I noticed halos are a lot cheaper than crystals.
Do halos not make much of a difference on battleships? I fly a nightmare and a domi.
According to eft, a HG halo set will reduce my sig from 400m to 317m. Will this noticeably reduce incoming dps? Or is 317m still big enough to take full damage from battleship rats? |

Unless you're already speed/signature-tanking the damage, you won't see a significant reduction from halo implants. Battleships don't do either, so you'd be better off investing your money elsewhere. |

I'll get into a HG Halo set when I get on SiSSi. They're alot of fun but the poster above is definitely right. The Wolf becomes 26m. The thrasher is 43m. The claw with MWD on is only 49m. The Typhoon, the smallest BS at only 320m, goes to 268m. (I think). It'S almost designed for Minmatar. |

it's nice for small ships like the frigs, SC and sometimes CS (reducing sig to 150 and less), otherwise not much use imho since the majority of damage comes from cruiser sized stuff. |

317m will give you some damage reduction from BS rats, but probably not enough to justify the cost IMO
If you were in a AB Machariel (340m base sig) then maybe you've have the speed/sig combo to see some worthwhile damage reduction.
Halos really come into their own with Tengus, especially if you're operating in hostile space. They give you a great combination of more tank plus making you harder to probe. Snakes will increase your effective tank at least as well, Talons will make you harder to probe, but Halos will do both nearly as well, and at the same time. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.
