im sick of losing ships to FW, to be fair, im sill getting more kills than losses, but the cost is severely outwaying the numbers.
i want a ship that can tank like a ***** but still deal a fair amount of damage. currently im flying a sacrilage which has a pretty mean tank on it. is this the kind of ship i want? im about a week away from T2 HAMS whch i'll fit to it asap.
i dont really want to use T1, too many drakes and not enough DPS. so i cn fly Caldari, Gallente and Amarr up to CS's. so yeah, a decent tank, and above average damage id like. ind of like everyone else really, but ive spent some time away from the game etc etc.
thanks synK this is my sig |

The only way to NOT lose a FW ship is to not bring it into FW. ANY ship you bring that can tank better will be regarded as a primary target for opposing militia pilots, and hence be killed FASTER than some cheap-ass no-good-at-tanking ships. Case closed.

have you though about using a manticore? it might not be able to tank but unless you REALY **** up you are very likely to survive...and FW got alot of T1 cruisers and frigs..those tend to go boom very fast from a bomber...

Your best bet is organizing your FW friends. And then assemble a remote rep BS gang. Nothing will result in best kill/loss isk ratio. Even when you lose the BS will be a mere 30M or so loss after insurance. ------------------------------------------------- If brute force doesn't solve your problem... you are not using enough

get a stealth bomber with like 3x BCU's, a scram and sensor bosoter with res script - you can lock and scram frigs coming through gates in about 1.5 secs and alpha strike them. best way to ***** KM's.
also a big plate on a cruiser will do well.
Also, tactics wise - pick targets that target you. In a vaga i generall float around popping of random shots and waiting til someone agresses me. a few hundred DPS point blank will normally end most ships and stop them hurting you. Oh yea, and dont be teh firs to decloak  -------

Antisupport Zealot for large gangs. Warp in at like 60 away, start BBQing anything cruiser and smaller.
range + t2 resists + damage control gives you enough buffer to warp out if need be, you have ridiculous range, damage, and tracking, and if it's a large fleet the enemy BS won't likely be shooting you.
Start by shooting blackbirds/rooks/falcons, since they are very good things to explode and melt in literally seconds to 450 dps from Scorch (EM damage, go!), then move onto things that are lightly tanked and likely to shoot you (cerbs are good choices), after that you can try to melt frigs for maximum killmail whorage or add a goodly chunk of DPS to the primary.
Watch out for vagabonds since they are moderatly resistant to your damage, have good buffer, and will jump onto your ass and eventually kill you. It helps to target them early since you can deal an awful lot of damage while they're MWDing toward you, and if they start orbiting you at 20 you can load multifrequency and throw 500+ damage at them, while they're shooting you with barrage against your 90%/80%/60% explosive resist, virtually untanked. __________________________________

t1 frigs and cruisers are your friends in fw... you will lose ships, no way around it... trick is to just keep your losses manageable. t2 ships in fw is just not a good idea unless you have some sick isk earning abilities.

It's lame when the larger force is on their side.

Buy cheap combat implant they wont make you invincible but it will help you kill faster and survive longer. History is a bunch of lies that we all agree on. |

First tenant of pvp is never bring a ship to pvp that you cant afford to lose.
That said, a cerb would be a nice addition to any gang, its far cheaper than a drake too! Could always go for a Ferox.

Maybe on your homeworld, but everywhere else a Drake is cheaper and just as pointless.
