ErrorS,
I was doing a lvl 3 agent mission the other day with me nice new shiny 425's with thorium ammo. The first kill mission i tried i had i think a 50ker and 4 5k escort ships i warped in at 60km and start hitting them for good shots then they start to close so i started off towards them and when i reached around 35k i was lucky if i was hitting them .
On me second mission i had a 85ker and some escorts, but this time on some adive from a corp member i warped in at 60km and stayed there i DID NOT MOVE and i got some nice shots mostly all above 100 and my gunnery skills are not good.
So next time try staying still, and if you see the belt has huge roids then warp out go to a planet try again so u come in from a different direction.
Hope this may help.

While hunting yesterday I cam across a "small" spawn. 8, 25k frig rats. They took me well into my armour in less then 30 seconds. Those ships deal out well over 200damage a second each. It's crazyness, fun when your hunting a total pain when your trying to run a decent MO.
Seems npc ceptors vary quite abit in damage output, wru hunting?

well i understand u, but dont rant about a 10mil ship almost destroying a 100mil ship. Because thats all over the world today, a 10k anti-tank weapon can destroy a 10mil tank, so... hehe but i see your point, noone should be crippled without a reason
God i gotta change my sig..

Frigate weapons can hit anything.
Cruiser weapons can hit Cruisers.
Battleship weapons can hit Battleships.
No it's like rock, paper, scissors if you use them properly. Battleship beats cruiser, cruiser beats firgate, frigate beats battleship.
How is this not ideal? This is the way it was supposed to be. You should be glad about it, just use cruisers with the odd battleship, it's a lot cheaper.
Great work CCP. Keep it up!

setup is as follows:
3 425s with antimatter and iridium.
2 heavy launchers
1 siege launcher
2 em hardners
2 thermal hardners
1 multispectral 25% (only use this when i really really need it)
2 sensor booster
1 xl shield booster
stabalizer and cap rechargers in low...
i will not use 250s instead of 450s. either they fix it, or i dont play. guess maybe thats my fault for being stubborn, but damn.. i didnt work my ass off to buy this 70m ISK ship just so I could outfit the same weapons I had on my 8m ISK Moa.
hopefully CCP will see that there is a problem with tracking and PvE and they'll fix it. :\
m8 I usually hunt rats in 0.0 in a Scorp (I've taken 2x 750K rats spawns)
and i've found this Setup to be really good
4x425 Rails
2x Small launchers
1x Sensor Booster
2xTracking Comp
2x Hardeners (NPC dependant in my case Serpentis--> Heat+Kinetic)
1 XL Shield Booster
1 Shield Booster Amp
1 Large Cap Bat
(Here you can change the Sensor Booster for a Web )
2X Warp Core Stabs
1 Damage Mod
1 Power Plant Management
U'll Need Eng 5 and Elec 5 for this to work
And for the Drones I preffer Wasps as their are faster than the Ogres (those new Elite NPCs are really fast)
Hope this helps

if ccp want us to really PvE in mixed fleets then something need to be changed, becouse a cruiser will get wtfpwnt in a battleship spawn...

A single cruiser might, but when you make sure your cruiser is not the first to arrive, and that it doesnt get closer then the BS, It'll be fine afaik. NPCs aim for the closest enemy, and for the first.
I could imagine a BB or two would come in handy

I have been solo hunting NPC's in 0.0 in a close range tempest setup since the last patch and apart from running out of ammo on a 3 1mill BS spawn had no real problems.
Its more to do with correct ammo and how you setup your ship now.
The 3 1 mills got me down to structure and almost no cap at one point but a bit of cap juggling and heavy drone use got me through with all 3 dead :)
Its a lot more fun than the old kill them at range and they dont stand a chance.

I'm more frightened of the frigs than the battleships now when hunting.
Not so bad alltogether though, I find that if I move in one direction for a while (miles away from the belt) the elite npcs just bug off.

I've actually started to use a smartbomb and webber on my Scorp when solo hunting- seems to work a treat vs Serpentis and Angels.
