Looking for feedback on my Nightmare fit. Just got my first Nightmare recently and this is what I have after using EFT:
Highs:
4 x Imperial Navy Tachyon Beam Laser (Faction crystals: Multi, Xray, and Standard)
1 x Drone Augmentation
1 x Small Tractor Beam
Mids:
1 x EM Hardener II
1 x Thermic Hardener II
1 x Large Shield Booster II
2 x Shield Amplifier II
1 x Tracking Computer II
1 x Heavy Capacitor Booster II
Lows:
2 x Tracking Enhancer II
3 x Imperial Navy Heat Sink
Rigs:
3 x Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer (to free up a mid slot from a 2nd EM Hardener II)
Drones:
A mix of Hammers and Hobs
DPS with Multifrequency is about 650 (without drones).
Short of Large Beam Laser Specialization and Surgical Strike being at Level 5 (they are both at 4), I have all other Gunnery skills, as well as support skills, related to energy turrets at Level 5. I can't use hardwiring implants to improve my Gunnery effectiveness any more because those slots are being used for something else at the moment.
With this fit, I was able to very easily do a Level 4 Blood Raider mission. I was able to one-shot smaller cruisers (Mallers types), and two-shot larger cruisers (Prophecy types). Battleships took about 4-6 shots.
Should I spend the extra 1.5 months and get Large Beam Laser Spec. and Surgical Strike up to Level 5? I don't think it'll help THAT much more but is it worth it? I've read of people being able to one-shot any cruiser and two-shot any BS. Would I pretty much have to upgrade to an Officer fit plus add implants to get to that level? Or could I get to that level, or close to it, with a different fit?
Thanks!

I updated the fit based on comments here. Now it's:
Highs:
4 x Tachyon Beam Laser II
1 x Drone Augmentation
1 x Small Tractor Beam
Mids:
1 x EM Hardener II
1 x Thermic Hardener II
1 x Large Shield Booster II
1 x Shield Amplifier II
2 x Tracking Computer II
1 x F-RX Heavy Capacitor Booster (this one uses 200 less power grid than regular heavy booster)
Lows:
1 x Tracking Enhancer II
4 x Imperial Navy Heat Sink
Rigs:
2 x Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer
1 x Large Locus Coordinator
Changing to T2 Tachyons from faction Tachyons and adding a 4th heat sink took my DPS from the 600's to about 832. I'm still at Caldari BS Level 2 and training up to 4, so there's potential to go over 1,000 DPS. Current Multifrequency range is 49 + 46 KM.
Capacitor lasts 9 minutes, and an XL shield booster would bring it down to 2 minutes. I don't know if I want to upgrade to an XL yet. The mission rats bring me down to about 85% on shields, but that's about where it stops and their numbers start dropping, so I hardly even use the shield booster. I suppose if I go up to XL, I can drop the amplifier and add a 3rd tracking computer, like the poster above said. Must try. |

Once I'm home, I'll try the XL shield booster and drop the Shield Boost Amplifier. In the amplifiers place, I'll put in a 2nd EM Ward Field II so I'll have three hardeners (2 x EM hardeners and 1 x Thermic). Then, I can drop the two EM hardener rigs, and put in a Discharge Elutriation and one other rig. I think that should do it!
Or I was thinking instead of a 2nd EM hardener, should I do an Invulnerability field instead? The Nightmare is only there for EM based missions so I'm guessing that two EM hardeners and one Thermic hardener is better than one EM, one Thermic, and one Invulnerability? |
