Just a quick question..
Do sentry guns do all damage types or does it depend on which race/system ie do amarr ones do em/therm gallente ones do kin/therm etc.
Thanks

All sentry guns do the same damage. Which is all damage types with a little more kin + thermal iirc but not a significant amount to consider tanking specifically for. _______________

They do twice as much kin,therm as EM and Explosive. So it's 1/6 em and 1/6 explosive, versus 2/6 kin & thermal

Which when simplified is 1/3 Kinetic and 1/3 Thermal. I LOVE FRACTIONS HOOOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ----- My Pirate Blog: http://evenewb.blogspot.com/

I have heard that each sentry will do about 150-200 dps? Can anyone confirm? And that is damage PER sentry, correct? So two sentries would be doing 300-400 dps?

I think it's 356 DPS between the two so that would be 178 DPS per sentry. _______________

I'm flying a trimark mega, I just care if the other guy dies before I do, DPS of the guns be damned
But yeah, it's around 300-400ish for two sentries as long as the aggro isn't all split up. ------------

So even a frig could tank it if you had enough frigs with aggro? Say 150 frigs sitting on a gate and they all agress? Hmmm......

Well... what happens is that you die to three volleys in a plated frig. If sentries decide to shoot a target each (happens at times) then you die to six volleys. Definitely not a good idea.
I've did some sentry work in a MSE jag, but mostly along the lines of warp to cyno, lock cyno frig, heat guns, pop cyno frig, scoop loot while aligning out, gtfo...

We use stealth bombers, inties, and AF's in our lowsec gatecamps all the time... the only problem is that they can only stay on the gate for 30s.

Edited by: Cpt Branko on 15/09/2008 22:58:21 Don't like lots of people on gatecamps anyway, if it's 10 people or more on the gate, I can't see the profit in it. So it's sentry tanked ships for me (well, actually, buffered ships these days).
But I do kill cyno frigs while roaming in a Jag/Wolf though, always funny and makes you 3 mil per frig if the cyno drops ;)
Most carrier pilots joke about it, I guess they consider it travel expenses.

You're doing it right. Forget infini-tanking sentries. Kill as many people as you can before you hit structure and then warp out.
Or...do like I did and wait until you hit 3% structure then warp out. That was a fun night
Thanks for the Maulus BPO nerf! :D |
