Originally by: Jackal79 Someone explain how the pilgrim/arby are getting their DPS nerfed? I thought with 50Mbit/s they will still be able to control 5x medium drones?
Currently with a 75m3 bay they can deploy 2 heavies, 2 mediums, and a light, which do more DPS than 5 mediums.

If you think that having 2 heavies, 2 mediums, and a light is better than having 15 mediums, then you are just wrong. Not "in some situations." Not "depending on your skills." Not "depending on who you are fighting." You are just wrong and wrong. There is no way that is better.

Originally by: Andreask14 If you mean laser boats by traditional, i have good news for you, lasers still do the most dps at medium range, and are with the best at long range, its just only a smaller margin nowadays.
Actually, Laser boats do lowest dps if look at lifetime of killing a real world fitted pvp ship due to resists.
Exactly. I only fit my ships with loads of EM/Therm hardeners because I rarely encounter any non-Amarr ships (though I keep my thermal lower so that the occasional gallente ship doesn't feel so bad). -- It's a pleasure to burn. |

I'd say the punisher is pretty good too. If I didn't have more skills in shields I'd use it over a Merlin. (And I still use the punisher sometimes, because it just looks cool)

Hmmm I'd rather have several waves of drones than be able to fit just 2x heavies, 2x mediums and 1x light...
With the nerf to TDs, won't a pilgrim still be able to evade battleship class gunfire with a the TD set to disrupt tracking? I guess webs on the battleship in question could be a problem tho.

Nope. TD's do nto effec falloff, and since the nerf, you can either reduce range or tracking. But the pilgrim has to fight in web range, so there is no point having tracking scripts, since you will either take on missle ratters, or turret users with web. Also, with the range pilgrim has to fight at, there is no point in range TD scripts.
Basically, TD's are close to useless. /CCP fix for Amarr is in EVE Trinity - The Trinity of training either Caldari, Gallente or Minmatar! |

Two TDs scripted for tracking will prevent a battleship from hitting you with guns even while you're webbed.

 This.
Also, if the Astarte is at 2km orbit, for it to get even a 10% damage reduction against heavy pulses, it has to go about 200 m/s. With base speed of 145m/s, good luck getting better than that... -- Gradient forum |

No. A megathron for example with 2 x bonused tds on it hits me just fine with *neutron* cannons. The only point where i can feel somewhat safe is in an ultraclose orbit. But i have to get so close first and even if i do he can still issue a keep at distance command, burst mwd and he'll start hitting me again. Not to mention the drones that eat me alive and the general nonsense of a recon designed for webrange.
And that is prenerf.

Funny how these gallente get butthurt because of their tiny vexor dronebay. 75m¦ -> 50m¦ for more dronebay is a tradeoff. A good one in my eyes but still there is no way denying it.

Why don't you have your own web to prevent that? If you get into web range of a target where he has web and you don't of course you're going to die.
Also, we're talking about tracking disruptors, not the Pilgrim. The Pilgrim is crap. TDs are still great on the Arbitrator and the Curse, and may see use on mid-slot heavy ships now that you don't have damps anymore to fil up all your surplus mid slots with.

Where did i state i don't fit webs? I do fit 90% webs ofc. And yes of course i web my enemies.  I'd need also an ab to make a relevant transversal but i don't have that many medslots.

We were talking about tds in webrange which basically means pilgrim when it comes to bonused ships, right?

Agreed but with a curse or arbi i probably will never ever enter webrange of a mega. So that is a moot point.

been flying amarr for 3 1/2 years only recently cross trained to gallante tho i'd have to say my list of favourites include -
Geddon - we all know why this ships been the same for a long time now.
abbadon - when fitted and plated correctly it does its job, but can be outperformed by other races for sure.
Absolution - people who think it sucks dont know wtf they are doign and shouldnt be in a command ship.
damnation - has anyone actually bothered to look at this ship recently? you'll be surprised 5x HAMS with good skills +50% damage bonus + extra midslot = web. This ship also has an insane tank ontop of that with an extra 2 highslots for gangmods or nos/neut provided that its *****ble. one of the most underestimated ships in the game. its downfall its its cumbersome speed and agility.
zealot - 1200m/s with a dual rep tank and good resists + consistant decent dps..i'll take that, or theres always the nano fit.
sacrilege - since the khanid changes this is a really good ship...provided u have the missile skills which most amarr pilots do not. nano or tank fits both work well.
curse - requires alot of micro-managemnt and concentration to fly well but it still works, i would have to say it could so with a bit of tweeking..its borderline.
crusader/malediction - both fit their roles nicely however the taranis still is a scary sight for a crusader pilot, but a maxxed skill male pilot can do surprisingly nice damage.
t1 ships...? who fly's t1 ships pfft =P
tho if i am alking t1 i would have to say that the harbringer is the only really good t1 ship we have. the punisher works but tbh our cruisers are sub par baring the arbi, but in any gang sitautions its like piloting a wet paper bag full of cans.

Thats my point!
I'll take 150m3 dronebay and 50mbit over the vexor anyday. I allready figured out some decent setups (shieldextender, tracking dis, a nano here and there, orbit outside webrange) and its gonna be a lot of fun.
It is a decent ship and i dont want to see it changed, just cause some people dont know how to appriciate a decent ship.  _________________________________________________ Breetime

Seems all the fuss about the Arbi and TD nerf is a little bit of an overreaction. The biggest asset to TD's was the tracking speed modifier, the optimal range one was barely ever used in my experience, even though the nerf was uncalled for, it isn't really that bad

Originally by: Wu Jiun Stuff about webs and TD's
The point behind webs is that they are designed to pin down a target so you can rip it apart. No form of ecm should be a win button in removing a targets ability to fight back.... This is why all the caldari ecm boats are made of paper. Miss a jam cycle or and you either die or run.
We are talking about a Battleship here, the point in TII ships isn't to outclass them. Both cladari and minmatar recons would have second thoughts about trying to take a decently fitted and piloted mega
I see no reason why TD's should serve a target to you on a platter? Recons are support ships remember?

Edited by: Berendas on 06/12/2007 05:22:08 Recons are good support ships but the Huginn/Rapier, Curse, and Lachesis have all been greatly successful in solo, not that theres anything wrong with that.
However, the recent patches have made soloing in a Curse very difficult and Trinity will give Lachesis/Arazu pilots a very hard time soloing.

Interesting, my Harbinger fit for PVP is:
Highs Heavy Pulse Laser I x7
Mids 10MN AB II Warp Disruptor II Named Webber Medium Cap Booster II
Lows Damage Control II MAR II EANM I Energized Explosive Hardener II Heat Sink II x2
I'd make the EANM tech 2, but I don't have the CPU for it. Also, I'm trying not to get way too expensive with this Harbi, cuz this is the first time I've gotten really serious about PVPing in an Amarr ship so I don't wanna invest too much ISK in here, which is the reason I don't have named guns.
Feel free to comment on the fit

Yeah, because ecm doesn't keep people from fighting back, oh wait...
Originally by: d'hofren

This is a very solo-centric view. In reality a missed cycle means nothing as targets are damped (in future with scan res scripts) anyway. Apart from that with a pilgrim it is so you don't even go into your designed range (=web range) because you will get killed no matter what. How that is comparable to an ecm ship that may have more than 100km buffer from the targets its jamming is beyond me.
Originally by: d'hofren

So? Reading comprehension 4tw. I never said they should. However tds should shut down large turrets which they don't. At least not effective enough to give an incentive to actually fit them.
Originally by: d'hofren

Dude! WTF are you talking about? I don't want to solo a ******* mega. I am talking about GANG support. Wasn't exactly obvious in that context, however the pilgrim is so far from soloing a mega as one can be. And that doesn't even have much to do with tds.
Originally by: d'hofren
I see no reason why TD's should serve a target to you on a platter? Recons are support ships remember?
Yes and pilgrim is the worst support ship of all recons because it is bound to go into web range. And there tds dont work at all which was the point of my post. I just responded to someone saying they would work well in webrange. Don't know why you jump to so many stupid conclusions about what i do or intend to do with my pilgrim.
If i cannot protect myself with the tds once in webrange (pilgrim is a webrange ship, remember?) then i certainly cannot protect my gang mates who have bigger sig radius, lower transversal etc(the damage dealers).
So, why do i put my recon into a situation where it can get killed in 20sec flat with *NO* chance of ewar saving my ass even for a simple retreat and i can't even help my gang mates with it?
Well i could go on but actually i am tired of people telling me falcon/rapier/arazu are on par with pilgrim when it comes to gang support. Those people have never flown a pilgrim or any recon for that matter and just have their own obvious agenda.

Hey, I know this is a little off the Recon topic, but would a PVP Harbinger be better off using tank or gank, and if it can use both, is there a better one for soloing?
Got a Harbinger a few days ago, been missioning w/ it since, but I wanna take it for a spin for some pew pew

Using a Harbinger to tank is a recipe for disaster. It has no bonus for tanking, and it doesn't have the cap to sustain firing lasers and running a rep. Your best bet imo, is it to plate it, use some trimarks, fit 3 HS IIs.
