I'm a bit confused here. I play whith an Amarr-char. and therefore i use laserweapons. I now drive around in an abaddon and have skils for medium t2 lasers...training for large t2. But i dont make all that damage when i use my weapons...yes i know that the abaddon has bonus for large lasers only,and shall instead drive som bc whith medium bonuses instead-but i like the abaddons armortanking capabilities and will go on whith it. Now...is there some specific skils i need or pherhaps a rig o some other fitting that will make my dps greater? I have for the moment medium t2 lasers on lvl 3-but training them to lvl 5. sharpshooter lvl 4 rapid firing lvl 3 motion prediction lvl 4 weapons upgrade lvl 4 controled burst lvl 3
the fitting on my abaddob is: hislots: 1x named heavy missile 3x medium pulse t2 3x medium beam t2 1x large beam t1(for "annoying" targets at long distances)
med: 4x caprecharger t2
low: 2x 1600 mm rolled tungsten plates(i know...loose them and put on more active plates) 1x medium armor rep t2 1x large named armor rep. 1x damage control t2 2x active plates t1(training for t2 right now)
rigs: 2x c.c.c. t1
what shall i fit o train to get a higher dps? i dont do any seveere damage whith my fitting. my med t2 is between 30-70 damage/shot depending on the crystal of shoice.
i mainly runs lvl 3 missions,but have agents for lvl 4.
Any ideas for better damage? B.t.w. i have around 8M sp.

For NPC'ing in an abbadon I would use the following:
8x modulated megapulses 1x web, 1x AB, 2xcap recharger 1x lar, 3x active hardener 1x eam, 2x heat sink, 1x cap relay 3x CCC rig's.
Get your weapon skills to level4 before even training tech2 weapons. For example rapidfiring level4 gives a lot more training time/dps increase then level5 large turret.

If you dont want to change to large guns, atleast fit a couple of heat sinks.
I would also recommend changing to 8 guns of the same type, and try to fight at that distance.
Then there is the tank. Lose the plates, fit 2x large reppers (you have a lot of room when you fit medium guns), and hardeners. For lvl3 I bet 1x large repper and no hardeners would be enough tank...
Also fit a web. And bring drones.

Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane.
Tracking computer does not increase damage, it increases range and tracking. Heat Sink will increase damage.
Edit: I assume it was tracking computers you meant.

Matey for slighty better damage and stuff strain your gunnery related skills to lvl 4 across the board. Namely the blow skills.
It will make a huge differnence till your ready to trainup large t2 guns.
: Advanced Weapon Upgrades ( at least lvl 3 ) : Controlled Bursts : Gunnery : Motion Prediction : Rapid Firing : Sharpshooter : Surgical Strike : Trajectory Analysis : Weapon Upgrades

what they do is... increase tracking so shots hit better , meaning more potentual wrecking shots. -

Offcourse.
The effect of a tracking computer on medium guns dps would probably be a fraction of the effect of a heat sink. But still, you are right, they could give some effect.

This seems a bit excessive of a tank for lvl 2 missions.
I'd advice you to use large T1 beams and two heatsinks in the low slots, as well as getting Rapid Firing and Surgical Strike up. You should notice a large increase in DPS just from equipping large guns on the Abaddon.

My lazy abaddon setup for lvl 4's...
7 Mega Beam lasers (althought im using faction ones)
tracking comp, sensor booster, 2 cap recharger 2's
2 Heat sinks, 2 EAN II (im too lazy to switch out hardeners for each mission) 1 LAR II. I never really have trouble vs sansha's which is almost everything I fight because you can pop almost everything before it gets close. I melt the BS pretty fast too, and my laser damage skills aren't trained up yet. I still use T1 drones and support gun skill sonly at 3. Large energy only at 2, and lvl 4's aren't really an issue.
An abaddon in a lvl 2... that's... dear lord slow. At the least use a harby, its still way overkill but 10x faster!

i dont do lvl 2,i do lvl 3 and can run lvl 4,but has'nt tried it out solo yet as i wroght in the first post...where have u read lvl 2? Anyhow...thx for the info and tip.
so the general suggestions for me at the moment is to mount large pulse lasers another c.c.c. train up surgical strike,advanced weapons,and some more skils to atleast 4(will do) put on heat sinks

For missions, I don't think pulse are the way to go. Too many ships stay too far out requiring an AB or tracking mods to hit them. Your drones can clean up anything that gets in close, and beams tear apart NPC bs really quickly... imo anyway

Well, as Amarr pilot that uses battleships and command ships I can safely say u need things from the list. This is for boosting your firepower only.
Equipment (in order of priority for greater DPS): -Heat sink.. use named then move to tech2. Two is minimum, 3 is optimal. -Tracking computer.. you can put higher damage crystal and keep same range because your base optimal is higher. U get 10% damage bonus on same range with one TC and more powerful crystal. You don't have much mid slots so usually 1 and max 2 TC in setup.
If you fly abaddon you also need to improve capacitor. You can find how to do that on this forum. Using medium lasers is ok in lvl3 missions because you are attacked by cruisers and frigates. Lvl4 - large guns!
Skills (I assume u have basic skills like gunnery,engineering and electronic to lvl5), best way is to learn them like all to lvl 3 then move in order that's in list to lvl 4 and later to lvl 5: -Energy system operation to lvl 4-5 (4 is must, lvl 5 as soon as u can) -Energy management to lvl 4-5 -Controlled bursts to lvl 4 -Rapid firing to lvl 4 -Medium energy turret to lvl 4 -Surgical strike to lvl 4 -Sharpshooter to lvl 4 -Motion prediction to lvl 4 -Large energy turret 4 Then u learn skills to lvl 5, and spec., also wepon upgrades and advanced weapon upgrades will be needed when u move to large lasers.
Fly safe,
