Kel'virak Tarkin	Posted - 2007.05.21 16:45:00 - [1] Is this possible, can I solo rat in 0.0 with a Thorax (or any other Calari or Gallente cruiser)? If so please name ship and give me a good fitting layout.
Liang Nuren Templars of Space CORE.	Posted - 2007.05.21 16:55:00 - [2] I know for sure I can do it in a vexor, but I had a buddy that did it in a thorax (I don't have his exact fitting): Vexor 2 med nos, 3 lt neutron blasters mwd, web, cap recharger medium armor rep (named/t2 if you can but not strictly necessary), 2 hardeners and a dcu Liang My opinions are my own, and do not in any way reflect the beliefs of my corp/alliance. I feel the need for speed!

And thx I'll have to try this out....training up for MWD atm and can use everything else already.
Liang Nuren Templars of Space CORE.	Posted - 2007.05.21 17:01:00 - [4] Medium neutrons take too much PG for the Vexor/Thorax. I'm reasonably sure he was running 2 med nos + lt neutrons mwd + web + something else (cap recharger/booster?) tank in the lows +5 med drones Liang My opinions are my own, and do not in any way reflect the beliefs of my corp/alliance.

madaluap Gallente Mercenary Forces Exquisite Malevolence	Posted - 2007.05.21 17:04:00 - [5] 5* electron 2 Y-t8 mwd web 2 caprecharger 2 small armor rep 2 2* T2 membranes (rat specific) 1600mm rolled thungsten rcu (2) 5* hammerhead 2 Tanking = outliving your enemy till they are dead. Thorax doesnt have the ability to really rep properly and deal dps @ the same time. Using a plate is the only way than. Used a comparable setup with a vexor, was pretty good, could take down 10 mil commanders + its support. _________________________________________________ Breetime A killmail!11!1 omgrawr: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Aypse Convergent Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.05.21 17:07:00 - [6] IMO - replace that MWD with an afterburner, and change the frig blasters to cruiser-sized rails. Change the web to another cap recharger. This will give you better cap for repping, and the range of the rails will give you roughly equivalent DPS because you don't have to spend as much time getting into range. Originally by: Oveur Eve is primarily a PVP game and hence our focus is on making that experience balanced.
Donathan Slade Kay Korporation Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2007.05.21 17:48:00 - [7] Get a Myrm..... Makes life easier and uses same modules. Seriously, your asking to not ever be able to tank triple spawns and have a high risk of dying using a thorax. Then again, if your "just now" getting MWD, your not into T2 at all, so, almost no chance. Go ratting with your corp members, cuz if your solo in 0.0 in a thorax. Go back to empire, just an honest suggestion.
DiuxDium Free Mercenaries Union	Posted - 2007.05.21 18:09:00 - [8] 5x neut mwd 2x cap 3x mfs ii 1x sar ii 1x active hard I used this in syndicate long ago to great effect. Using a speed tank to tank the BS's. no real tank needed, just a lot of damage. ------------- The above user should never be taken seriously.

Go back to empire, just an honest suggestion. You can easily tank and kill triple BS up to triple 1.4 with no effort or chance of disaster (with pure T1 unnamed mods). Its true, its faster to do it in a Myrmidon or Brutix, but its still easy none the less - and this is alot less skill intensive. I went exactly the route he did - jumped straight into 0.0 and couldn't even use a MWD. The isk was better than empire missions too. "Go back to empire" - useless suggestion.

Go back to empire, just an honest suggestion. Aren't you the guy who refused to use a Cap Injector because charges were too expensive? Honest opinion, you've got no grounds to order people back to empire. e; in addition to your other hilarious threads. I'll also mention you have no idea what you're talking about. A thorax can easily handle triple spawns with a decent pilot. ------------- The above user should never be taken seriously.
VicturusTeSaluto	Posted - 2007.05.21 21:19:00 - [11] Edited by: VicturusTeSaluto on 21/05/2007 21:17:11 Originally by: Aypse IMO - replace that MWD with an afterburner That would be a a great idea because it would allow you to closely orbit the BS at higher speed. However, in 0.0 I would not fit any solo ship with an AB instead of MWD. The MWD is a survival module. Last time I was 0.0 ratting I had some ganksquads trying to chase me Nubbins from wow/eq etc. that can only kill by grouping up on solo players. I would not have made it without MWD. The Thorax is a GREAT 0.0 ratting ship. It is relatively cheap and fast. So it is not a big deal to lose. It does a lot of DPS for a cruiser as well. My Sansha ratting setup: 2xheavy neutron, 3x heavy ion(or replace with 3x neutron, 2x salvager) MWD, 2xbest cap recharger 2xSAR II, 1 energized reflective membrane, 2x energized thermic membrane. drones: 5x Hammerhead I(tech 2 drones would easily double the cost of this setup and I don't like losing 10 mil when the server kicks me off) When trying to tank the spawns I run 1 rep full time and the other one in bursts. It can easily tank multiple BS, but it does start to run into some trouble once you have a lot of spawns smaller than BS size. It is still able to safely chain 90% of the belts.
MacDuncan Minmatar Unknown Society	Posted - 2007.05.21 21:54:00 - [12] Against Serps, used about 6-8 months before: 4 light T2 Blasters, 1 Med. NOS MWD, Web, L Cap Battery 1 med Armor Rep, 800 rolled tungsten, 2 heat, 1 Kin 5 med Hammerheads Worked easy / cheap, mwd towards the biggest BS, orbit @ around 500m-1km, sit back until it pops... -- Might As well Train Another Race
Dark Kavar Caldari Aionios Diadochi The Makhai	Posted - 2007.05.21 22:14:00 - [13] 0.0 ratting caracal: Highs: 5 heavy launchers Mids: 1 10mn ab, 1 large shield extender, 3 rat specific passive hardeners Lows: 1 BCU, 1 PDU Orbit at 10 km with the ab going and what little does hit you will be absorbed by the extender Really only works with turret rats, get some with missiles and you're boned. Kind of like the Triforce in Zelda, only not quite as potent.

Go back to empire, just an honest suggestion. A thorax with fittings worth 1m, can take out triple 1m+ BS spawns. Yes its a lot slower than a t2 (or t1 for that matter) fitted myrm, but the beauty about such a thorax setup, is that you're pretty much break-even ISK wise when you've killed those 3 spawns. Its very cost effective and a good ship, especially for newer players. (ow, and blowing up faction spawns with bounties that are twice as big as the amount of ISK you spent on the thorax is fun as hell)
Feng Schui Minmatar The Ninja Coalition Phobos Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.22 01:53:00 - [15] Edited by: Feng Schui on 22/05/2007 01:52:35 i was out in 0.0 last night in an arbitrator; trying to find some targets to pvp against.. ended up ratting instead highs: 2x Med NOS II 2x Small Energy Neuts Mids: Y-SB Afterburner Warp Disruptor II Tracking Disruptor II Small Cap Booster II (200's) Lows: 2x EANM II 1x MAR II 1x DC II Didn't have any problems, no risk of dying. Orbit the battleships @ 2500 meters while NOS'ing them, perma Afterburner. Take out the small crap ASAP with drones, then focus on the Battleships. Not very time effecient, but its doable, and easy. Got some good loot, went up against 3x Battleships, 3x Cruisers; as well as a Domination faction spawn at one point (1.2 mill battlecruiser + 4 frigs) My opinion is my own, not of my corp or my alliance. If you have problems, we can have a "who can do L4 missions faster" duel >:)
