Solomon XI Hoist The Colors. Pirate Coalition	Posted - 2008.12.21 18:21:00 - [1] Edited by: Solomon XI on 21/12/2008 18:25:31 So I find myself in an interesting situation. Last night, I acquired a SIN through less than legit means. I'll leave the details to your imagination. After contemplating it, I've decided to faction-fit it and use it in my low-sec/null-sec solo roams. So, I've been in EFT attempting to come up with a ... unique fitting for it. Basically, I'd be looking for battle-cruisers & below, an occasional HAC ... you know, picking your prey wisely. I've come up with this and could use some opinions: * [Sin, Solo-PvP REVISED] True Sansha Large Armor Repairer True Sansha Armor Explosive Hardener True Sansha Armor Kinetic Hardener True Sansha Armor Thermic Hardener Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II Damage Control II Amarr Navy Heavy Capacitor Booster, Cap Booster 800 Dark Blood Warp Disruptor Dark Blood Warp Scrambler Gallente Navy Stasis Webifier Gallente Navy Stasis Webifier Drone Navigation Computer I Dual 250mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L Dual 250mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L Dual 250mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L Dual 250mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L Covert Cynosural Field Generator I Covert Jump Portal Generator I Caldari Navy Cloaking Device Auxiliary Nano Pump II Nanobot Accelerator II Ogre II x5 * Need your opinions, please. =)

I can understand the lack of eccm/sensorbooster but if you get jammed you want to bump them at least while your drones kill ;) I'd ditch the second web for it, you already have scram + disr. Also if you're not gonna cloak it, what does this do that a domi can't? Wyvern & Chimera fitting flowchart
Dirk Magnum Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2008.12.21 18:25:00 - [3] Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 21/12/2008 18:25:22 Do you need the portal generator and cyno for solo ops? Also, a drone speed mod instead of a speed mod for your own ship? Gonna be hard to keep people from evading warp scrams without at least an AB unless you come out of warp within web range of the enemy.

Also if you're not gonna cloak it, what does this do that a domi can't? Oops... epic failure, on my part. I forgot the fking cloak. Full of win here, I know. OP revised. Edit: Alright. Well, the goal is to lurk. To sit in a belt, let my prey come to me, get within 10km, uncloak, web+point & kill. I wasn't a fan of what the MWD did to my cap + fitting abilities. Thus, the rails. * Originally by: Dirk Magnum Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 21/12/2008 18:25:22 Do you need the portal generator and cyno for solo ops?

Gonna be hard to keep people from evading warp scrams without at least an AB unless you come out of warp within web range of the enemy. Well, my buddy might tag along with me. He flies a Widow. So I want to be able to solo-jump + jump him in, etc. On a spur of the moment thing, ya know? Something I am missing, here? I am new to this whole jumping thing so please, clarify.
Solomon XI Hoist The Colors. Pirate Coalition	Posted - 2008.12.21 18:32:00 - [5] Not meaning to bump my own post with this ... but is a single rep enough?

A few high-damage plated HAC's will shred you. 425mm vagabond, pulse plated zealot..but it depends on the situation really. Wyvern & Chimera fitting flowchart

Picking your battles wisely, ya know? What I'm asking ... would it be enough to tank most BC's? And maybe a ratting BS?

He will run circles around you, negating a good portion of the damage your heavy drones can do with an afterburner and has enough buffer to withstand lights or meds.

Pirate Coalition	Posted - 2008.12.21 18:38:00 - [9] Edited by: Solomon XI on 21/12/2008 18:43:12 Originally by: Sokratesz If you're gonna be hunting ratters, fit a specific tank and you'll smoke them, HAC, BC, BS, anything. Prefer an omni. The reason I say this is that eve is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're going to get. I could be looking for something specific & find something special instead, you know what I'm saying?

Well, medium drones might be able to handle the Vagabond issue. Plus a decent web-range with the Gallente webs, 14-base, 18 w/ an over-heat. The WS has a 10km-12km range. So the Vagabond issue, while significant, is in theory, insignificant. It might have a buffer, yes. But the Domi does get a 50% bonus to drone damage dealt & I have max drone skills. So there is hope. And if I get said Vagabond webbed+scrammed, it's game over. The Ogre II's will deal with him at that point.

If I wanted a WIDOW, I would've trained Caldari. This is a request in relation to the SIN, not the Widow. GTFO of my thread. K, thx, and bye.

I'll plug this fitting into EFT & check it out.
kessah The Accursed	Posted - 2008.12.21 19:03:00 - [14] I have no problem fitting this. No alt, dont fly it. Battleships solo are for people with alts, you'll lose it before you get more than 10 jumps in low sec. 10821.2 out of 11000 pg.

Battleships solo are for people with alts, you'll lose it before you get more than 10 jumps in low sec. 10821.2 out of 11000 pg. I'm a little less paranoid & am a bit more confident in my abilities than you seem to be. The fitting you suggested is sound, a good idea indeed. Flying a battleship solo in low/null sec is an art and a game of chance. The black-op's provides you with the needed tools. You just need to use them properly.

Also if u have no alt how are u going to utilise the covert jump portal ability? Have you flown one of these before?

Have you flown one of these before? Negative. This would be a first for me, as stated above in an earlier post. I have never flown one of these, before. As I said, I want to be able to jump somewhere, solo. And if my buddy (who flies a Widow) decides to join me, be able to cyno him in. Or maybe even a friends falcon, depending.

As I said, I want to be able to jump somewhere, solo. And if my buddy (who flies a Widow) decides to join me, be able to cyno him in. Or maybe even a friends falcon, depending. Ok, no problem. Dont use that fit then bud. Black op's cyno fields are created by another pilot (normally an alt) by only recons or covert op ships. They are unseen on sensors, but black ops can use both regular and covert cyno's (Tactical benefits to using the regular ones in certain circumstances). The range is very small, but ideal for getting into low sec pockets were carebears feel safe. You will need an alt or a friend to beam you in so to speak, so your not able to solo in it in the strict sense of the word. Myself run a Redeemer, but have had a Sin in which i traded it for. The Sin will be awesome when the fuel bay is introduced though. My suggestion to you is to fly a Recon ship and cyno in your friends (Arazu is good for this), without an alt your unable to utilise this ship properly for solo work. This is my opinion, however its an expensive ship and you cannot blind jump with this ship and not expect to lose it within a day. Hope this helps you.

Menzies Campbell	Posted - 2008.12.21 23:22:00 - [20] I'd say pack an MWD, just so you can do the cloak warp trick if nothing else. Could save you from a nasty loss in a big gate camp.
Rajere No Trademark Notoriety Alliance	Posted - 2008.12.22 03:57:00 - [21] If you stick to low sec you can blind jump gates all you want, doesn't matter what they have on a gate the sin is uncatchable. Your plan on how you want to use your blackops is a very poor plan and waste of the ship tbh. The ship costs 500mil because it has a jump drive. If you are not using your jump drive you are doing it wrong. It absolutely requires another ship to light a covert cyno in order to function properly. You are using it as an extremely expensive stealth bomber. The difference is, you have scan res of a boulder with no sensor boosters so even sitting cloaked in a belt you will never tackle anything, unless it wants to get tackled by you, in which case he knows something you do not. For what you want to use the ship for, you would be far better suited to Stick a friend or get an alt and put them in a plated tackle fit stealth bomber cloaked, and use a t1 bs also cloaked, both in the same belt. If something comes to your belt, decloak em and have the stealth bomber and point web and ab orbit close etc. The stealth bombers only job is to decloak and tackle stuff and stay alive long enough for the bs to finish the sensor recalibration penalty and get tackle of its own. -------------------------- NOTR nsfw

With this sort of role in mind should you not be using vigil/atron/condor/whatever instead of stelth bomber???I mean most people warp to the bloody belts at 0 you can live without the speed bonus and recalibration is no problem in a tech I frig if you use scanner for warning and decloak as soon as the thingy comes outof warp next to you... I means 200k disposable tackler > 20mill disposable tackler no? Arguably my opinions represent to an extent the opinions of my alliance and in particular circumstances give rise to a valid "casus belli" claim.
Katarlia Simov Minmatar Cowboys From Hell	Posted - 2008.12.22 05:31:00 - [24] Why god why are you trying to fit up a such an expencive ship for killing BCs and HACs when you can do that same job with a regular BS ? Just use a domi FFS. They are cheap and effective. The sin is expensive and not. You are risking SO much more isk than you need to and actually increasing the chances of your being killing. You're tank is loads undersized, your damage is loads too low for quick ganks. To illustrate well: 2 battlecruisers WILL kill you if they are sanely fit. 1 HAC will most likely kill you. Is that kinda life prediction worth the money ? You already have bs 5... why not make yourself a really kick ass mega/domi set-up ?
Merin Ryskin Peregrine Industries	Posted - 2008.12.22 05:34:00 - [25] What an absurd waste of ISK. If you absolutely have to fly the ship and refuse to get a Thanatos (which is better in every possible way), at least fit it with plain T2. Faction mods only add to the already excessive price tag, while doing nothing to change your inevitable death if you run into any non-comedy opponent. Oh, and the cloak is worthless. Fit a neut instead. -----------

Really guys, jumping on the "lol, Merin sucks" bandwagon doesn't win you any points if that's all you have to offer. So please, tell me how: 1) Putting a ton of expensive faction mods on a ship that gets near-zero benefit from them is a good idea. OR 2) How a Sin does anything better than a Dominix or Thanatos, especially for someone who doesn't really have any plans for using the jump bridge. -----------

Qual Gallente Cornexant Research	Posted - 2008.12.22 09:46:00 - [30] If you are playing with a frind who is also in Black Ops, but not other kinds of covet ops ships, loose the portal generator. Both of you can jump without it. The option for reinforcements makes the covert cyno a viable. "The short version: Qual is right." -Papa Smurf
