So I'm bored of an evening and decide to have a play with the Hawk. I've heard it passive tanks nicely but have never tried it. I usually prefer the Ishkur for AF stuff.
Anyways, after a bit of tinkering I came up with this...
HIGHS 4 x Rocket Launcher II
MIDS AB 20km Scram Magnetic Scattering Amp II Medium Shield Extender II
LOWS 2 x Shield Power Relay
Wasn't expecting much tbh, but took it up against a friend's Ishkur and it passive tanked his 5 drones indefinately (whilst being uber nossed of course). With my middling shield skills I was getting about 16 shield points per second when my shield was down around 30%.
This is as good as a T2 Small Booster and requires no cap :)
Of course, my scram is gonna go fast if anything nosses me, but at least I'll be able to make a fight of it with absolutely no capacitor.
Any suggestions, comments? I'm always interested to hear.

I would use the harpy with T2 guns, just for that extra gank.

I was messing with this the other day. You can fit 2 med extenders if you use APU in the lows, but not sure if its worth it or not, it makes for a real tight fit.

Tried that, but it didn't work too well. Very hard to fit launchers too.

Just give me some isk and I will. And btw, you're still screwed if you get nossed with a gistii. It's just more to lose.

light missles and a MWD maybe? I know I could perma run a MWD scram, and gistii on a harpy.

I think rockets have a higher damage cycle over ten seconds then missiles do.
I would stick with rockets if you plan on using the hawk. BTW the Hawk is the worst AF in the game..My opinion and many others.

That my friend is what we call a psychological weapon. Imagine how embarrassing it is to be killed by a retribution.
I've killed at least 10-15 goons with a retribution, no points fitted.
Can't count the number of people who've run off. ----

"I've Killed X with ship X" is just waving around your e-peen on the forums.
Retribution is for npcing, strictly. If you take your npcing ships to pvp, well... sigh... :) You can come up with something a lot better pvp wise for the same isk as a retri.

As I said before, I usually fly an Ishkur, which I consider to be the best in the game. But the Hawk has a few interesting abilities that the other's do not.
Yes it has the lowest DPS but I'd say it also has the strongest defenses. It's the only AF that can work effectively without cap and so can get in close to cruisers and above without fear of being nossed to death.
You might say that the Wolf/Jag can work without cap, but neither of those is going to be passive tanking like a hawk.
Also, rockets are awesome for taking down drones. I fought this guy yesterday who had a bunch of valk II and warior II and I killed them all before my shield was lower than 70%. Then he MWD away, so I'm thinking of changing the mid slot layout of the above:
AB T2 Scambler Web Medium Shield Extender II
AND an Anti-EM rig.

And you never ever do that ;)
How about an injected gistii hawk..with alot of small (50 or 75) charges you should be able to run the booster almost continuosly

Gistti takes so little cap, that unless you are being nossed by a curse or 3-4 large nosses, you are almost always able to run it continously.
