r0b0to	Posted - 2007.07.06 04:48:00 - [1] Edited by: r0b0to on 06/07/2007 04:48:16 Hi, I'm still new to the game, about two weeks in.. Heres my current Thorax setup. Please crit. :) 5x 150mm Railgun II 1x 10mn AB (I don't have skills for a MWD yet) 1x X5 Prototype I Engine Enervator (webber, for small targets) 1x J5b Phased Prototype Warp Inhibitor I (I can switch this out, I'm not PVPing yet) 1x 1600mm Reinforced Steel Plates (also have a 400mm, I switch once in a while) 1x Magnetic Field Stabilizer I 1x Tracking Enhancer 1x Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane I 1x Medium Armor Repairer I 4x Hammerhead I Please rate/crit, and suggest other fits. BTW, I'm more of a long range guy, so I don't use blasters often. I don't PvP yet, I do rat hunting in a 0.6 system, and a mission once in a while.
Luciana Arcadia	Posted - 2007.07.06 04:58:00 - [2] the ship gives a bonus to medium turrets, I'd suggest you train for guns that can use the bonus, as well as drones V so you can use that last drone. The heavier turrets are going to eat your powergrid and you won't be able to use that 1600 plate anymore. If you're in empire, you don't really need a warp disruptor, toss that for a painter or a cap charger or something. Get a MWD when you can, but remember in missions it won't work in DS. Not a bad setup all and all People who can't type correctly annoy me.
William Hamilton Caldari THE LEGION OF STEEL WARRIORS.... R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.07.06 05:02:00 - [3] Yeah, definitley switch up to 250mm rails, the 150s jsut don't make sense. Other than that it looks preety good...
r0b0to	Posted - 2007.07.06 05:13:00 - [4] I'm just using t2 small rails in the meantime I cant use t2 meds. (i do more damage with t2 smalls) I'm switching as soon as possible. Also training for MWD ASAP. thanks
OeOeOeOeO	Posted - 2007.07.06 05:20:00 - [5] good god man, im suprised no 1 has pointed this out to u yet. STOP EXACTLY WHERE U ARE AND DROP THE MOUSE! (now bend ova the car and hum ur national anthem AHAH) anyway yes stop training gallente if you want to do long range. caldari are the long range railgun experts of the 7 seas. --------- Don't try to shoot me down because i'm bullet proof.
r0b0to	Posted - 2007.07.06 05:39:00 - [6] I don't have the time to train for another race. I'm going Gallente.
NoNah Marzipan Monkeys Distant Star Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.06 05:43:00 - [7] Originally by: r0b0to I don't have the time to train for another race. I'm going Gallente. Amen, thats the path I started upon, and I have yet to leave it. Heck, it should be my motto and my signature. Gallente can go for range almost as well as caldari, and it can do so without looking fugly while doing so. Post count: 264432
r0b0to	Posted - 2007.07.06 06:09:00 - [8] lol quick change in setup: (prepping for pvp, someone threatened to wardec us) 5x 150mm Railgun II 1x 10mn AB (I don't have skills for a MWD yet) 1x X5 Prototype I Engine Enervator (webber, for small targets) 1x J5b Phased Prototype Warp Inhibitor I (offline, not enough cpu, maybe in a couple of days when i get electronics 4, i just need 2 more cpu ><) 1x 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates 1x Magnetic Field Stabilizer I 2x Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane I 1x Medium Armor Repairer I 4x Hammerhead I sooner or later, when i decide to go to lower sec, i'll switch to blasters.
tarin adur Gallente Einherjar Rising	Posted - 2007.07.06 06:24:00 - [9] Not bad set-up,make sure to get mwd, i'd drop the tracking enhancer for another eanm. BTW, Thorax can field 5x hammerheads (do you have drone 5?)
r0b0to	Posted - 2007.07.06 06:38:00 - [10] Originally by: tarin adur Not bad set-up,make sure to get mwd, i'd drop the tracking enhancer for another eanm. BTW, Thorax can field 5x hammerheads (do you have drone 5?) I did, see previous post. I have drone 4, I'm concentrating on gunnery skills atm.
OeOeOeOeO	Posted - 2007.07.06 06:47:00 - [11] k rule in eve is if you go for something in specific you must excell or be left in thr dust. if you buy a carrier you don't buy the worst one because it's your race you must adapt or starv. You don't buy a ship that is designed for ganking and attempt to tank it. You don't buy a ship and fit it for long range when it is designed for close range. you will fall to those whome specialise in 1 or the other but never mix both! --------- Don't try to shoot me down because i'm bullet proof. myspace.com/bestestant

r0b0to	Posted - 2007.07.06 09:17:00 - [13] I'll try your setup Randgris when I re-earned my money. I just spent about 5 mil in upgrades. I only have 1.2mil left as of now.

r0b0to	Posted - 2007.07.06 09:31:00 - [15] My current setup is working really well for me. I've been instapoppin frigs from 18 km or so. :) Still testing what ammo I should use.

Vyktor Abyss The Abyss Corporation	Posted - 2007.07.06 10:08:00 - [17] I'd like to try this one - go do it for me: 5x M Unstable Neutralizers 10 MN MWD, 2x M Cap Booster (w 800s), 2x Expanded Cargohold I, 2 x Energized Regenerative Plating I, 1x SAR I 5x EC-300, 5x hobo IIs and good drones skills to kill their drones, and a friend in a tech I industrial for backup. - Ideas are my business...maybe thats why I'm always skint! Please read my ideas
Sedai Hara Caldari The Forsakened Companions Storm Armada	Posted - 2007.07.06 10:56:00 - [18] the Ops setup withbrails sounds a bit weak, so try 200mm or 250mm if you want that (take off plate to fit those) this is my fav thorax setup, we use it alot in our small pvp gangs and solo work, even seen this one take down ravens,megats and a CS once. but it aint easy + other pilot needs to be very bad or suprised. (even had a arazu to structure, but then his mates showed up and popped me, though i had no drones when fight begun) 5x light neutron blasters II w/ void 1x named MWD 1x web 1x 20km scram(keep her cheap) 1x 1600mm rolled tungsten plate 1x 800mm - \|\| - 1x active kinetic hard 1x active exp hard 1x active thermal hard 5x hammerhead II you need next to no cap to run everything, and with a 9k amror HP buffer you aint going down to another cruiser or BC in a hurry, leaving long time for your drones to finish it off. ----------------------------- Originally by: Ozzie Asrail A mega without 3 magstabs fitted is like kladdkaka without chocolate. Kladdkaka = Chocolate cake fyi. Swede ftw!
r0b0to	Posted - 2007.07.06 11:02:00 - [19] fyi all, I used 200mm Compressed Coil guns before I had the skill needed for T2 150mms. So far, I'm doing better with the 150s. :p More instapops in missions kthnx.
zwerg kleptomaniacs	Posted - 2007.07.06 11:30:00 - [20] Edited by: zwerg on 06/07/2007 11:31:18 tbfh, the topic's setup is the best in here ive seen so far.... double plating a rax..... large plate setup: 5x Light Neutron Blaster II 1x Y-T MWD, 1x Web, 1x Scram 1x 1600mm Rolled. 2x EANM II, 1x MAR II, 1x DCU II. 5x Hammerhead II. gank setup: 5x Heavy Neutron Blaster II. 1x mwd, 1x web, 1x scram. 2x MFS, 1x DCU, 1x RCU, 1x 800mm. 5x Vespa Ec-700 drones.
Shark Diver Lords of Maelstrom FREGE Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.06 11:31:00 - [21] Edited by: Shark Diver on 06/07/2007 11:33:55 Edited by: Shark Diver on 06/07/2007 11:31:25 I think small guns on a thorax make baby jesus cry. Get 4 heavy Ions and a Nos instead! Mids is the usual mwd, scram, web lows: dcu, 2 eanm, med rep + whatever fitting mod you need. Edit: Or get rid of the tank and get some gank in the lows.
Randgris Garoun Investment Bank	Posted - 2007.07.06 11:36:00 - [22] Originally by: Vyktor Abyss I'd like to try this one - go do it for me: 5x M Unstable Neutralizers 10 MN MWD, 2x M Cap Booster (w 800s), 2x Expanded Cargohold I, 2 x Energized Regenerative Plating I, 1x SAR I 5x EC-300, 5x hobo IIs and good drones skills to kill their drones, and a friend in a tech I industrial for backup. with that setup its better to fly a vexor imo, not a thorax. you don't make use of any bonus and the vexor has larger drone bay. Zwerg that's almost exactly my setup except for the named mwd, which cost too much to justify it imo :D
Akashyi	Posted - 2007.07.06 19:16:00 - [23] GJ taking advantage of thorax bonuses... seriously, your dmg would be crap....try 5x Ion Mwd, Scram, Web MAR, DCU, 2x mag stab, rcu Win.
Mitsuko Anari	Posted - 2007.07.06 19:21:00 - [24] Big plate + small gun thorax used to be a very popular setup :) Ideally (IMO) you should be aiming for electrons + 1600mm but this takes a lot of skills to fit (IIRC). 150mm rails + 1600mm plate + mwd will actually let you kill a lot of the "cookie cutter" setups just by keeping at range 8km+ and shooting away. Take my statements with a pinch of salt, I never had any luck with the thorax with any setup, damn thing is a death trap filled with bad luck for me.
zwerg kleptomaniacs	Posted - 2007.07.06 19:33:00 - [25] Originally by: Akashyi GJ taking advantage of thorax bonuses... seriously, your dmg would be crap....try 5x Ion Mwd, Scram, Web MAR, DCU, 2x mag stab, rcu Win. i take on that setup with my thorax and small guns
Hellraiza666 Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.07.06 19:36:00 - [26] I miss 8 heavy drone thorax Originally by: CYVOK ...Very Disappointed, I spent 2 years building a pile of ****. -CYVOK-
doctorstupid2 Dirty Deeds Corp. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2007.07.06 19:38:00 - [27] Originally by: Akashyi GJ taking advantage of thorax bonuses... seriously, your dmg would be crap....try 5x Ion Mwd, Scram, Web MAR, DCU, 2x mag stab, rcu Win. Win indeed, though I used an 800mm plate in place of the rep, reason being after mwd'ing all over the place and fighting inside nos range, you never have the cap to get any meaningful use out of the rep. 800mm plate adds the same HP you would get running a T2 rep from 100% to 0% cap, with no cap use. With good nav and spaceship command skills the loss in speed and agility is negligable, I pushed 1700m/s with T2 mwd as I recall. Small guns on a thorax is just silly, you end up flying a ship with no offensive or defensive bonus, andlet's face it, a cap bonus isn't all that great when you hit like a rifter. If you want a plate and small guns, use a maller. If you want to lean on drones for damage output, use a vexor. not as much rax action as i would have liked, but here's my solo video with this rax setup owning things in the face, including the mighty 1600 rax. http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=533369 Steel Rat > if they only knew we make this **** up as we go

Once I figured that out i just webbed him at 7km where his frigate guns couldn't hit me and pounded him to structure with null. Use a vexor if you're fitting plates and small guns, people!

Christopher Dalran Gallente Deadly Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.06 20:58:00 - [30] Edited by: Christopher Dalran on 06/07/2007 20:58:36 Tip Lose the plate Get medium guns (vgood named + faction ammo > t2 1 size down) Get an MWD (the skills are SOOO easy to train for and the ship bonus makes MWD's very good on it) Lose the damage drones and add in ec-300 drones/5 light damage drones Add a multispec ECM Lose rails, add 4 blasters (t2 or best named, use faction ammo unless you have a specific need for t2 ammo as they have penalties (using void reduces your speed to a mere crawl so you need to warp to 0 using a scout)) and 1 NOS. Now go after Battlecruisers, they still have a low enough Sensor str that you'll be able to reliably lock them down nearly 100% of the time. You lose damage with light drones as opposed to medium drones but the lights are only there to deal with frigates as you blasters can deal with cruisers and up. WARNING the thorax is the hardest ship in the gallentian arsenal to fit properly, It realy require alot of maxed out skills and advanced weapons upgrades V to have enough pg/cpu to fut corectly. I used a Vexor for a long time before I switched over to a Thorax, its just easier to fit properly and a properly fit vexor does much better than an improperly fit Thorax. The poster aboves thorax will not be able to lock this thorax. ------------------------------- C.D's Formula for success ------------------------------- Credit Card = Game Time Card Gametime Card = ISK Therefore Credit Card = ISK.
