Nathaniel X	Posted - 2004.02.16 16:27:00 - [1] Hi all I am playing about with the setup for my Typhoon. My current setup is based on some of the advise that has already been posted on this forum, but I am wondering if my setup can be improved upon. Currently I am running... 3 1400mm Howitzers 1 Medium Smartbomb 4 Heavy Missile Launchers ( to be improved with named ones) 1 XL Shield Booster 2 Shield Boost Amplifier's 1 EM Hardner 7 Cap Relays With this setup my cap recharges in 155 seconds. I have noticed that without tracking / damage mods the 1400's are a bit hit and miss. Can anyone recommend a better setup to improve damage and ROF whilst still keeping a decent cap recharge rate? Also I know that I can fit another 1400 onto the ship if I change my setup a bit and go with power diagnostics. Does anyone use this method, if so with what success? Is there anyone using 800's on thier Typhoon? I have no tried them yet as I like long range combat. Until Chaos is updated with my skills I cannot test any setups out on there, hence the post. Thanks for reading.

Pojo	Posted - 2004.02.16 20:58:00 - [5] If you have high gunney skills things like counterbalanced mods and tracking computers help very little. 1400mm are hit and miss but with good gunnery skills they will miss less and less. The setup you have is defensive in nature, its designed to keep you alive long enough to get the other guy to take enough damage and warp out or die. By going shield tank you do sacrafice a some firepower but not much really, also you can try using 50% thermal instead of that second shield amp. Keep working your skills and your cap recharge should drop to around 140sec and get some arbalests or at least xr3200 launchers they pretty cheap. When relays get nerfed as it seems they will soon it will be time to get the ultimate armor tanks.. ahem.. "Caldari capacity for good is only exceeded by our capacity for evil"

Kashre	Posted - 2004.02.16 23:57:00 - [7] I have had some success on chaos with 4xsiege launchers and 4x800mm... the rest of my setup is just like yours with the exception of the fact that I usually either use an afterburner or a multispecteral hardener in place of one shield boost amp, and a warp disruptor in place of the other one. Its an excelent balance of long and short range firepower, IMO... you can tear stuff up (not as good as blasters, but for no cap) at point blank, but if someone is faster than you 4 launnchers worth of missile spam is still decent. +++ It's called "low security space" for a reason.

And I am in love with the sound it makes.... chugga-chugga-chugga [ed. one more low slot]

Bobbeh	Posted - 2004.02.18 00:37:00 - [21] no dmg mod, because i cant afford to not have the cap recharge rate, and it doesnt make a tremendous difference. i suppose another cool setup could be 4x 800mm 4x h-50 1x mwd 1x large shield booster 1x em hardener 1x thermal hardener 3x dmg mods 4x cap relays with 9 heavy drones of course Mimiru > It'd be a tie, the monkies nerfed pooflinger wouldnt have enough tracking to hit the parrot orbiting him, but the parrot's beak is so small it couldnt break the monkey's fur tanking.

In a tanked setup, I will change the damage mods for named cap relays (Type D, Mark 1, Beta, or Local). _______________________________________________ "Is it me or the bad guys just getting totally pathetic?"---Clover, Totally Spies, "Hope is wasted on the Hopeless."---Mandy, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

Jash Illian	Posted - 2004.02.18 20:48:00 - [27] Tempest + 4x 800mm + 2x Heavy Launchers + 2x Heavy Nosferatu Ends every over the top, low slot hogging cap relay setup in this thread. 1400mm without damage modules, without ship bonus to damage and without any assistance to tracking/range (tracking computers, ect) is nothing more than a tin can waiting for the right can opener. And 4x 1400mm on a Typhoon as described will not remotely put my armor tanked Typhoon in danger, which only uses a single cap relay. I mean its like you want corporations to oblige each other like its sex or something. Pffft I would rather *** my enemy.- Rohann Be careful out there.
