emepror Gallente Magners Marauders	Posted - 2007.03.19 15:20:00 - [1] is it, i know its worth 1 bill and like 600 shield for 200 energy (3 to 1 ratio FW)
Marquis Dean The Last Thing You'll Ever See	Posted - 2007.03.19 15:25:00 - [2] Depends how badly you crave efficiency for mission running. An XL Shield Booster II suits me fine and that costs less than 2 mil. Although, my main mission ship has 24K shields and boosting the shields with a T2 one takes forever and ever and ever, so i'm debating buying a deadspace booster, or possibly boost amp. --- Originally by: Foopadoo Hell hath no fury like an internet nerd scorned.
zayanka	Posted - 2007.03.19 15:25:00 - [3] I use b-type, and its worth every isk i paid for it
Swamp Ziro EPSILON TEAM	Posted - 2007.03.19 15:28:00 - [4] If I'm going to use XL, well then I really don't care that much about efficiency anyway, so I'd rather go with a Pith XL Booster instead.
Raekone	Posted - 2007.03.19 15:40:00 - [5] Edited by: Raekone on 19/03/2007 15:37:07 Aren't the X types the only XL ones you can run forever without all the micro managing crap? That alone makes it worth the billion imo edit Not only because you might be lazy but for safety reasons, if you start lagging or get dropped you want your defences up.

Should work fine with all the gist boosters. The X type is in fact even more cap hungry than the others Sig removed. Please email us at [email protected] if you would like to know why. -Conuion Meow

That alone makes it worth the billion imo edit Not only because you might be lazy but for safety reasons, if you start lagging or get dropped you want your defences up. 3* CCC T1 + Cap Recharger II + proper skills and you can run most of faction x-large shield boosters nonstop on Raven. Yes, you need one mid for the Cap Recharger II sacrificing a slot from your tank but with faction x-large booster even a three hardener tank is more than enough for mission running. Heck, if you're lazy you can just go 1* EM 2* Invuln Field and keep running the booster nonstop.
Ferocious FeAr Eternity INC. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.03.19 16:06:00 - [8] You can do it with tech 2 equipment. Don't waste your isk. Trust me. Don't hate me, learn to love me

Let me guess: that imply dropping any damage mod and accepting a penalty to shield boost amount... ------------------------------------------ A big nuke may be nice in a strategy game, but something like this in a game where every unit is a player, and each death costly, is insane.

Ferocious FeAr Eternity INC. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.03.19 16:40:00 - [12] No. Tech 2 xlarge shield booster. With an amp it does the job just fine. Other 4 mids can be mission specific hardeners. PDU/BCU in low's. Don't hate me, learn to love me
Mr Breakfast	Posted - 2007.03.19 16:59:00 - [13] how do you people have 1 bil anyway :(
Zirth Caldari The Black Fleet Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.03.19 17:06:00 - [14] It is worth it in the hads of a good pilot. Don't go PvPing with one, your ship against an equal ship, just you got the better tank, means you win, sure. But on average you need dozens of kills if not hundreds before it pays off, and after 200 fights one of them involves you getting blobbed and losing your ship. It may be the first one, and even a faction booster won't save you by far when outnumbered/classed. For missions, go for it. They can be extremely nice, as they allow you to tank alot more, but here you can just warp out when your tank does fail. for PvP, don't even bother.

Leandro Salazar Bravehearts Xelas Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.19 17:31:00 - [16] A Gist XL booster is definitely worth using if you run missions in a Raven. Using one allows you to tank with only 4 meds, which in turn allows you to fit two target painters which in turn allows you to use torps to good effect which makes your missions much much faster. It is in fact the one item that makes or breaks a really good mission Raven. But the one that is best bang for the buck is the B-Type. All X-Type stuff is luxury, costs a lot more than ABC for being only slightly better. --------- There is no 'n' in turret There is no 'r' in faction There is no 'a' in Kestrel

tiller OctoberSnow Corp	Posted - 2007.03.19 19:47:00 - [19] Edited by: tiller on 19/03/2007 19:43:13 Originally by: Ferocious FeAr You can do it with tech 2 equipment. Don't waste your isk. Trust me. Don't listen to this......... Gist booster will let you take full aggro on any lvl4 mission and run them as fast as possible. You never have to warp out, never will get below 2/3cap, even full aggro mordus for example. When you have made your isk, just sell it on again....... One note, if using this in low sec, never jump systems without a scout.
emepror Gallente Magners Marauders	Posted - 2007.03.19 20:03:00 - [20] so can someone tell me the name of the mod what its worth and the shield to cap ration? t2 x-l has 3 shield per 1 cap IE 3-1
Wildwa Shadow Command	Posted - 2007.03.19 20:03:00 - [21] Totally worth it! It is by far the best isk i have ever spent in game. Faction hardners and a gist booster almost makes the missions too easy. With a full set of crystals i boost for 1477 @ 168 cap. With this capability i can run ANY level 4 with ease, never even a thought of warping out, which in turn allows me to chain the missions at my hearts content. Earn more CNR's and get richer faster. I am sure there are much faster ways to get rich, but i'm built for mission running, and don't have the skills to do much else, so why not have the best? If you are serious about missions, i would say GET ONE! If your not that serious maybe you would be better saving the isk for something else later down the road. Like a previous poster said, you can always sell it once you are done using it. The market for these has only gone up.
emepror Gallente Magners Marauders	Posted - 2007.03.19 20:23:00 - [22] :) sweet im looking to get a CNR and faction/t2 everything anyway(along with a hulk for boring days of missions,amkes mining fun, and they should be only 2-3 hundred mill soon
Second Wind	Posted - 2007.03.19 21:05:00 - [23] Edited by: Second Wind on 19/03/2007 21:04:07 Can anyone list say the top 5 faction XL Shield Boosters, and approx price? I'd like to get one, but 1 Bill is a bit steep atm! So would GIST-X type be #1? And are the GIST A/B/C types almost as good as the GIST-X, or nowhere near as good?
Marquis Dean The Last Thing You'll Ever See	Posted - 2007.03.19 21:40:00 - [24] Originally by: Second Wind Edited by: Second Wind on 19/03/2007 21:04:07 Can anyone list say the top 5 faction XL Shield Boosters, and approx price? I'd like to get one, but 1 Bill is a bit steep atm! So would GIST-X type be #1? And are the GIST A/B/C types almost as good as the GIST-X, or nowhere near as good? Gist X-type is the best in my opinion because the hp boosted per cycle is enormous, whereas the Pith X-type has slightly higher fitting requirements and boosts less, but is much more cap-efficient. Gist costs more than the Pith, but they both cost a fairly tremendous amount. Your list would go: 1. Gist X-type 2. Pith X-type 3. Gist A-type 4. Pith A-type 5. Gist B-type 6. etc... To be fair, T2 boosters are quite sufficient, if they aren't then there's something wrong with your setup. But if you need the added efficiency, or you just wanna do the missions afk, then an A or B type is the best value for money. In my humble opinion. --- Originally by: Foopadoo Hell hath no fury like an internet nerd scorned.

It's Gist which are cap-effective, and Pith which are the larger HP boost. Personally I just use a Nighthawk, sure it's alittle slower than my Torp raven, but the full setup cost me less than half as much as a faction XL booster costs, and with 400+ DPS and my current regen/resists, it makes mission damage even more of a joke than a Pith-fitted CNR does.

xSunnYx	Posted - 2007.03.19 22:12:00 - [27] Originally by: Daniella Althera CCC T1 + Cap Recharger II + proper skills and you can run most of faction x-large shield boosters nonstop on Raven.

Heck, if you're lazy you can just go 1* EM 2* Invuln Field and keep running the booster nonstop. Not really, take 2x T1 and 1x T2 CCC's in rigslots. Take 3 T2 PDU's or better(officer) and u can use 4 amps (use at least DG or Pithum A-Type) and run it perma like that. (Cap should be hanging around 40% with max cap skills) Using the X-Type, requires skills and equipment imo. If you have the equip to use it along with modules that give you a high res. I'd do it. If not.. stick to C/B-Type and use some active hardeners.
Riho Gallente Magnificent Beavers Exquisite Malevolence	Posted - 2007.03.19 22:48:00 - [28] if ur a carebear wo doesnt want to do enything esle than mission.. yes if u have other stuff to do... nope... useless i can do missions whit t2 stuff and cheap faction stuff i use pth b type large booster and DG boost amp. does the job and i can run it whit 3x BCU t2s :) Your signature exceeds the maximum allowed filesize of 24000 bytes -Elmo Pug ([email protected]) Great being Gallente... aint it ? ----------------- YARRRR, sig hijack! -HornFrog -----------------

Pith B-Type XL Other Pith don't exist, or do they? And for PvP it would be the other way round, Pith before Gist. --------- There is no 'n' in turret There is no 'r' in faction There is no 'a' in Kestrel
