Janu Hull Caldari Terra Incognita Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2008.12.21 16:48:00 - [1] Edited by: Janu Hull on 21/12/2008 16:51:31 Having spent more time than is healthy remote repping support fleets on POS bashes, lemme tell you that it doesn't matter WHAT kind of tank your support fleet uses, they appreciate ANY kind of repping when they get primaried by POS gunners. I've remote repped Shield and Armor tanking battleships with the Chimera, its not like I'm going ignore a call for help from an armor repping pilot because I don't pack a Capital Remote Armor Repper... Even if its not the same type of rep that they're using, IT IS STILL **ING ADDITIONAL TANK THEY DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE YOU LOCKED ONTO THEM. I have never had an Armageddon or Dominix pilot complain that I'm repping their shields when they get primaried. The arguement over what constitutes a "proper" repair assist from a carrier is beyond **ed, because no matter what kind of rep we throw them, its still well in excess of what they can do locally. A "proper" rep effort from a carrier is one that keeps them alive, regardless of the type of friggin' points your giving them. Idiots. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.**

Janu Hull Caldari Terra Incognita Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2008.12.22 03:45:00 - [4] One argument I'll make for the superiority of shield repping carriers. When does a shield tanker call for help? When they're running low on shields. When does an armor tanker call for help? When they're running low on armor. Shield repping carriers can assist either one of these, because the armor tanker's shields are long gone, and restoring them gives them a buffer behind which to recover their local tank. Armor repping carriers are useless to shield tankers, because the shield tanker hasn't taken armor damage yet. Bottom line, shield repping carriers can assist any ship in the field. Armor repping carriers aren't getting "in front" of the tank that the shield reppers are trying to sustain, so they're really losing a significant amount of support performance for it. You can argue like idiots about the prevalence of armor tankers in PvP, but the reality is, your best POS bashers are Ravens and Phoenixes with the ideal damage selection, and your best fleet ECM ships are Caldari, your best fleet snipers are Caldari. Shield tankers are critical elements of a balanced PvP fleet, so setting your capital logistics support to be primarily useless to them is stupid. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.

Any battleship (even the scorpion, srsly) will beat any carrier at ratting ISK/hr so I really don't see the point.. Except in the Drone Regions. Having 10,000m3 of corp hangar beats the hell out of the pop and haul routine the battleship jockeys face. Actually, when my alt was developing his skills (and was still not quite up to 0.0 solo ratting), sticking him in a slab tanked Drake with five fighters in tow was extremely efficient. No expended ammunition required, and if the fighters took aggro, it was a simple matter to release the aggressed fighter and send in another. And believe me, five fighters of the appropriate damage type will melt battleship rats at a rate that would make a CNR pilot blazing green with envy.
