Kommedian	Posted - 2008.03.11 23:06:00 - [1] Edited by: Kommedian on 11/03/2008 23:24:30 I'm a fairly new player with ~1.6million SP...my focus right now is on earning faction rep as fast as possible, and i'm looking for opinion on the least SP intensive BC, with missioning as the only activity. Basically what you think would allow me the greatest rep/time ratio... Or even alternatively...do you think i'd have better luck at this stage running in a cruiser? I'm running L2 missions right now and will be doing 3s ASAP. Any thoughts?

Needle Juice Caldari JET FORCE	Posted - 2008.03.12 00:06:00 - [4] whats a warlock
Inen OLE Mining Corp VENOM Alliance	Posted - 2008.03.12 00:10:00 - [5] I have to agree with the drake. In general, caldari missile boats are the least skill intensive. Anything with split weapon systems (typhoon - drones, missiles, turrets) will be more skill intensive. An armor tanked AC hurricane shouldn't be too skill intensive either though.
Deux Machina	Posted - 2008.03.12 00:24:00 - [6] Echoing the majority opinion: Drake.
Daphne Oboe	Posted - 2008.03.12 01:03:00 - [7] Originally by: Lyria Skydancer Playing caldari is like playing a warlock. I admit that brought back some memories

Bransden	Posted - 2008.03.12 02:01:00 - [9] My missioner was able to tank every level 3 mission in a drake with less than 1.5 million skillpoints.
d3vo	Posted - 2008.03.13 03:54:00 - [10] missioning - caldari - drake too bad but still glad i didn't make that decision

Wet Ferret	Posted - 2008.03.13 04:00:00 - [11] The day they give missile ships drones bays that are worth a damn is the day I train up those skills
Joe Starbreaker	Posted - 2008.03.13 06:31:00 - [12] Depends who you're doing missions for. The Amarr battlecruisers are excellent for running missions against Blood Raiders and Sanshas (the pirate factions indigenous to Amarria and neighboring areas) and I use my Prophecy or Harbinger to plough through the L3s for Amarr Navy and Khanid Navy. If I were dealing with Angels (Minmitar-like pirates) though, I'd be a very unhappy mission runner. Basically each race's weapons are optimized to kill their own kind. If you're doing missions for Federation Navy, for example, use a Gallente BC.

Arkedon	Posted - 2008.03.13 07:24:00 - [15] Originally by: Wet Ferret That's a terrible analogy. Warlocks actually have good DPS. True. Drakes are more like protection-spec Paladins.

Wet Ferret	Posted - 2008.03.13 09:24:00 - [18] Originally by: Silent Deviant With the drake you just change out the missiles to give the damage you need to kill the rats. Amarr ships are much better for killing the EM vulnerable factions and Rogue Drones, as unbonused EM heavies do terrible damage. It's the difference between "I'm halfway through that BS' shield" and "Holy **** that rat died fast".

Warlock is the easiest race to play in WoW. Its powerful and its simple. -------------------------------------- [Video]Skirmish Warfare

Its powerful and its simple. If Warlocks didn't have incredible DPS, it wouldn't matter that they were **** easy to play. Hence why it doesn't matter that Caldari are easy to play.

Hence why it doesn't matter that Caldari are easy to play. But they both are easy mode, arent they :-) Heh and are we talking about the times before the fear nerf? Because pressing fear button and then a DOT button and then a fear button again and repeat is not what I call hard mode. -------------------------------------- [Video]Skirmish Warfare

Because pressing fear button and then a DOT button and then a fear button again and repeat is not what I call hard mode. They still do that after the fear nerf. The only difference is that now deathcoil isn't a free fear. Anyway, thread successfully derailed!

Yakia TovilToba	Posted - 2008.03.13 11:13:00 - [24] Originally by: Lyria Skydancer Yep drake. Least SP intense race = caldari. Playing caldari is like playing a warlock. While i'm not going to question the statement on the drake, saying that caldari is the leas sp intense race is simply wrong. To be able to use all caldari ships at it's full potential, you will need to train: missiles hybrid turrets drones e-war, not like only lasters + drones for amarr. If you are going for turrets, you miss a lot of potential, ships like the ferox or moa don't have as much turrent points as high-slots, but they have launcher hardpoints, so you'd need to train both to use it at it's full potential. And you'd have to train missiles anyways, if you were up to use a caldari dreadnought. Even the caldari titan has a missile-related bonus. If you are going missiles only, youll only be able to use 3/4 of the caldaris most important ship, the raven, which has 6 launcher hardpoints and turret hardpoints for the last two highslots. So all you get is a bit lousy performance quite fast (faster then if you train for turrets maybe), but your potential is limited if you train only missiles.

Its hardly just Turrets and drones. WU and AWU are a must if you want to get away with as few fitting mods as possible. Another must is Controlled burst 5, and both cap skills to 5. This is hardly just "lasers and drones" Nice try though. As for your list Lets see... Caldari: missiles hybrid turrets Amarr: Lasers Cap skills WU-AWU Im not adding tank, ewar, and drones skills since both races need them.

Amarr they are a requirement at 5 end of story. Especially for any sort of missioning setup. Also i didnt mention regular fitting skills only WU and AWU. Every other race can get away with AWU 2 or 3, Amarr really must have BARE min AWU4. Absolute minimum and then you still have to fit some grid mods.

So all you get is a bit lousy performance quite fast (faster then if you train for turrets maybe), but your potential is limited if you train only missiles. You can get by just fine without training hybrid turrets for caldari ships. And really, who fits guns on those Raven slots? The caldari field a fine offense based on missiles alone. Drones are nice sometimes (although even then you don't have to train for heavy drones) and so is ewar (although again unnecessary, especially on battlecruisers), but neither is necessary, especially for missionrunning, which it sounds like this guy is doing~

While i'm not going to question the statement on the drake, saying that caldari is the least sp intense race is simply wrong. To be able to use all Caldari ships at their full potential, you will need to train: missiles hybrid turrets drones e-war This is very true. Although you can certainly get by with a very narrow spread of skills, to make the most of Caldari ships, you need a really diverse array of skills. You could also add armour-tanking to that list if you want to benefit from remote-reps. In comparison, Amarr ships require very good skills in a narrow field; Caldari ships require lesser levels of skill, but over a more diverse field.
