Not too sure it's better than an amour tank but it does work. 7 neut blasters T2. 3 damage mods and 4 PDS for a HP buffer and cap, perhaps 3 pds and 1 DCU. Then fit 1 microwarp, web, invul field and shield extender or no web and 2 shield extenders in the mids. As your in a gang you then get a 10 to 15% further shield HP boost. If you have the isk use T1 extender rigs. You end up with a 1000 ish dps output, faster than a plate amour tank, a 20 to 30k shield buffer that regens. Plus most people think your an amour tanked so hit you for thermal/kinetic. Useless solo but in a gang its works well. Would it look like this: [Megathron, Pottsey's PvP shield tank] Power Diagnostic System II Power Diagnostic System II Power Diagnostic System II Damage Control II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II 100MN MicroWarpdrive II Invulnerability Field II Large Shield Extender II Large F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge L Small Energy Neutralizer II Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I Core Defence Field Extender I Core Defence Field Extender I Ogre II x5 ? I have serious cpu problems with this megathron. Even this setup needs 1% cpu implant - but it is extremely cheap (implant). 90k ehp (em 54.7 th 51 kin 63.3 expl 69.4, 21k shield hp), 909 dps (no drones, skills lvl5 as i lack large hybrid skill at all), 1213 m/s (max speed). All numbers without gang and with lvl5 relevant skills. But I like to learn something about shield tanking ships i thought they can only armour tank.
