Out of curiousity...has anyone actually tried to fit the new omen with 5 turret slots?
I have AWU 3, and I still have to use multiple fitting mods to fit 5 lasers. I am only using Heavy Pulse Lazers....because there is no way in hell beams are going to fit. And with 2 reactor control units, I still need a power diagnostic unit on top of that in order to have enough pg. It's a bit ridiculous. It's nice and all that CCP gave amarr a boost with the extra high slot...but there is no way in heck that you can actually fit this ship decently to take advantage of it.

Try fitting smaller lasers.

Yes, fmps are the way to go.
That said you won't get a decent fitting with fmps either. At least not if decent means competitive with comparable ships (i.e. vex, rax, rupture) in pvp. Thats what you get for having your damage cruiser being only tier1. Nothing you can do about it really.
Use an arbitrator if you are looking for a little pvp fun in an amarr t1 cruiser.
If you are doing pve i don't really know what you need to look for. But quad light beams have lower fitting requirements than fmps so that might be an option?

Edited by: Leandro Salazar on 16/03/2008 09:16:25 The real problem here is that FMPs just suck. With blasters, Ions are 6% worse dps than Neutrons. Electrons are 12.5% worse than Neutrons. With Autos, 220mms are 5% worse dps than 425mms and dual180s are 11% worse. So far so good.
Now FMPs are 14% worse than Heavy beams. That is worse than the other tier3 guns, for what should be the laser tier2 gun. In fact it seems like the tier2 gun is missing, FMPs are the tier3s, and crap at that. So we need either a real tier2 gun for medium pulse lasers, or a boost for FMPs. Or in fact both (though then only a small boost).
There is no 'n' in turret There is no 'r' in faction There is no 'a' in Scorpion There is no 'e' in Caldari There is no makeup in rogue drones |

Real talk! I'm not saying they should do it, but it's an interesting piece of fact though

Is it really considered 100% not-viable to use the new Omen as throw away dps w/ heavy beams/pulse?
I mean, your never going to tank much damage. But to lowtech cheap gangs it really can add some dps as long as nobody breaths on it right?
I've been looking at a fit like this to test out the new turret slot: 2xRCU2's 2xHS <empty slot, ~10cpu left atm> ------- Warp Disruptor 2xCap Recharger ------- 5xHvy Beam
I think no matter what its just not a versatile enough ship to bother using as a primary ride. Instead I think stashing some kind of throw away big dps setup in your pos/home stations to provide throw away big dps it might be a bit more viable with the extra turret?
I went with Hvy beams, because it gets more out of the RoF bonus with those versus pulse.

I think the issue lies in that Ions compared to Neutrons are better than FMP compared to full on heavy pulse.  ________

I'd like to have an Omen that can fit 5 x fmp, mwd and 1600mm RT with just one rcu like the thorax can do with electrons. I think thats pretty reasonable. Now you can argue its tier2 etc. And that would be correct but as long as you can't do it a proper fitted vex/rupture/rax are always gonna kill it with ease.
Anyway ccp has decided against it so for me (as i have pretty much maxed ruppi skills) its just not more viable to use an omen as before.

unles you got snakes on, ain't no way the omen is doing 2.3k/s. 1.5, maybe, with good skills. 800MM won't fit unless you downgrade to t1 best named, which are too expensive on such a glass cannon. -----

Not actually as bad as it looks mind you:
Focused Medium Pulse - 120 PG Heavy Pulse 210 PG, 14% more DPS
Heavy Electron Blaster - 100 PG Heavy Neutron Blaster - 203 PG, 12.5% more DPS
Prob is, Gallente have a turret inbetween those two PG-wise, whereas Amarr don't. ...

Well, this fits with AWU III...

[empty rig slot] [empty rig slot] [empty rig slot]
Warrior II x3
311.75/312.5 CPU (pretty tight) 860/912.5 PG
About 300-340 dps, cap stable without AB or Rep with max skills, will run for about 7-10 minutes with good skills.
Pity about the afterburner but you get to use scorch anyway, and 500-600 m/s is... adequate, i suppose. pretty good if you're trying to get out of range and nobody's paying attention to you but you're not going to win any speed races anytime soon.
You can also nano it...
[Omen 2, Nano] Overdrive Injector System II Power Diagnostic System II Nanofiber Internal Structure II Heat Sink II Heat Sink II
10MN MicroWarpdrive II Medium Electrochemical Capacitor Booster I, Cap Booster 400 Warp Disruptor II

Warrior II x3
329 dps, 2267 m/s.
If you have AWU V you can actually get rid of the PDU II for an overdrive or faction/basic heat sink (you'll be 0.25 cpu short for another TII heatsink) decent cargohold and cap stable with 400s. __________________________________

I have my Omen setup as a cheap DPS dealing throwaway gangship.
5x Heavy Pulse (T1)
1x Scram (20km) 1x Cap Recharger (just to keep guns going for as long as possible) 1x Empty midslot (no CPU to fit anything else)
1x DCU 3x Heatsink 1x RCU
3x Hobgoblin 1
This is what I use when we go gang-roaming in low sec. I'm the slowest ass in the bunch, but with the range flexibility I can hit all targets within 20 km for varying damage. Once I get up close, it's 230 DPS of a wierd damage type. It dies fast when shot at, but hey, it's a throwaway ship. Thankfully, most people don't consider the Omen a threat, and such I usually get killed last. Big mistake :P

tried to set up one of those for a corpmate the other day... it was very very annoying to find a setup. i ended up with making it a speed cruiser.
5x FMB (or whatever the abbreviation is ^^)
1x MWD I 1x WD II 1x Medium Electrochemical with 400s (400 will permarun it)
2x OD II 1x EANM I (II wont fit) 1x DC II 1x HS II
pretty tight on fitting. very annoying ship! ___________

no rigs (who rigs a t1 cruiser anyways... unless you can find REALLY cheap resist rigs)
360+ dps
edit: cost is around 20mil isk ( thats what im guessing... im not 100% sure).. for me its thorw away isk and 1hour for a mission bear to make :P ---------------------------------- This is Me, fighting stupidity one post at a time.

Look at it this way: It's 86mil less than a rigged zealot but it still packs a punch.
Add to that the wtfcomedy factor, fold the fun back in and bake for 30 minutes until a fork comes out clean.
Think outside the box.

Although it'd be nice to see the omen get more fitting so that it's possible to get just one workable fit with heavy pulse  __________________________________

Keep forgetting that I had snakes on the all level 5 char. Otherwise, I don't see anything "unrealistic" about this ship. Are you telling me that people don't have cruiser 5, maxed gunnery skills, maxed drone skills (for hobgobs), awu 5 and maxed nav skills? I know a lot of people that have all of that easily...
It's not like "not" having a level 5 really screws with the setup other than awu...

Omen had rofl fittings when it had 4 turrets. Now its just plain roflcopter, tbh.
any fittings with beams? forget it. FMP? what, you want a MWD? rep/plate? hah!
sad TBH. Omen is such a sexy ship, but it doesnt have the cpu OR pg to make use of its slots.

Problem is that you are supposed to compare it to the Celestis\Vexor and Bellicose\Stabber
NOT Rupture and Torax
So start whining about the Maller instead (propecy suxxor balzz too)
