I'm looking for a Kronos fit that has a decent DPS output and a solid tank.
Money is not an issue, but give me reasons backing up why you fit what you fit. Don't just spam Cormack and say "it's awesome" without giving me reasons.

Read the sentence in its entirety.
You can fit Cormack, but give valid reasons.
Just so you guys know along what lines I'm thinking, I've been toying with this:
[Kronos, Face ****] Corpus X-Type Large Armor Repairer Cormack's Modified Magnetic Field Stabilizer Draclira's Modified Reactor Control Unit Corpum A-Type Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane Corpum A-Type Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane Core X-Type Armor Explosive Hardener Damage Control II

Auxiliary Nano Pump II Nanobot Accelerator II
Ogre II x2 Hammerhead II x2 Hobgoblin II x1
Chugs out 1300 DPS for 3 minutes in overload, has a 1200 DPS tank in standard and does not sacrifice gank for tank. Throwing another magstab adds an additional 200 DPS on, but at the cost of 400 tank/sec.
So yeah, give me your ideas because I'm hitting a brick wall. I don't fit Megathron hulls much.

missing 1 or 2 ECCM module there. also you do not work solo so let someone else do the tackling. put sensor booster in mid. focus on full gank with null ammo and range rigs.
come to think of it why do you want to fly a koronos?

Getting closer, but a few key flaws. Drop a neut or to for smartbombs, you WILL have ECM-drones on you and they will mess you up. You will never avoid a falcon enough through ECCM for it to really matter so don't bother trying - but keep those drones away.
Use a gallente navy web, not a true sansha. That last km isn't worth it considering the 75% speed increase you give them with TS compared to Gallente Navy.
I would also make a number of other adjustments, same kind of modules but a cheaper version. Dominatino disruptor is not quite worth it on a setup like this. TS rep is but barely worth it. Dropping down one step on most modules barely alters performance but almost halves the price.(guesstimately)
If you want to spend lots of isk, go full active. Something along the lines of 2 reps, large smartie, mwd, injector, ions. Should reach some 14-1500 dps tanked with a low tier faction tank(TS/DB/AN). 2 heatsinks and one of the easier to fit mwds and an injector and you're pretty much set. You're basically after a fit which either is cheaper than a highteir mega with similar performance or a hightier kronos to simply outclass the mega. One case is low tier faction all the way the other is extreme highteir for extreme prices. The gray modules are just pointless - here. Parrots, commence!

Officer/faction Kronos = pure stupidity. Officer/faction Kronos with no ECCM = were you dropped on your head as a child? Your absurd waste of ISK is going to die to the first random BC/BB/HAC with ECM drones it happens to run into, and that's not even considering how helpless it is if a real ECM ship shows up.
If you're going to take a carebear ship into PvP, at least fit it with pure T2 so you don't end up with such an embarrassing lossmail. -----------

*if* your solo, then eccm will make little difference to a falcon. You'll need at least 4 to defend agaisnt such a gang.
I think ive leant that Marauders in PVP have little use for ECCM. If your Jammed your ****ed, just have to hope that you can escape with your fire power.

Yeah, that's why I like the Kronos.
Traditionally I have always focused on ships that I can achieve a great tank with before gank (Dominix, Eos) and have come to see that the Kronos has an amazing tank itself. Since I am still relatively new to gunnery (only have 6 mil SP in gunnery, all Gallente spec) I am still trying to work out the amount of gank in a ship like this.
I like it because you can slap 4 turrets on it and it has the capacity to do 8 turrets worth of damage. I'm not too crazy about the webbing bonus but because it has one I want to use it. Though I am seeing now, the person that suggested use Null with range, that seems like a great idea. Null doesn't cut too much into your damage and you stay at range. So perhaps working in the officer web to that would give it some use.
Originally in my first reply, I had an ECCM instead of a Warp Disruptor. Then I realized I kind of have to tackle things :P So I put it on. But, mentioning that I should have a tackler with me means that I can go back to having the ECCM anyway, which is a nice load off.
There are a lot of ideas for this ship and I want to see more ideas coming. Every post so far (sans Merin's, he's just a troll) has given me some food for thought so keep it coming please! :)

Seriously, these setups cost billions for litterally a 100-200 extra in tank or gank. I really hope I find some of you guys fitting these ridiculous fits on the field because it will make me a very wealthy man :P

What, I'm dumb because I don't fit billions in modules on a ship that, thanks to its low sensor strength, would probably die to a couple T1 battlecruisers (hell, even cruisers would be a real threat)?
The simple fact is marauders are not PvP ships. The base cost is absurdly high for what they do, and the pathetic sensor strength is a fatal weakness (especially when you don't even fit ECCM). Taking a setup like that into real PvP is just going to get you a very expensive lossmail.
Of course none of this really matters, since the real purpose of this thread is yet another of Siigari Kitawa's "I'm stupidly rich and I can throw away billions of ISK!!! LOOK AT MEEEEE!!!!!" ego boosts. -----------

don't want the warp disrupter on a bs that's what smaller ships can be used for stick a tracking computer on there instead with an optimal script plugged in (yea bonus to fall off too) and saying don't spam cormack without a valid reason other than it's ace (the fact it's ace being the only reaso) then doing just that IS a little contradictory

merin, the ECM drones issue has already been addressed further up in a much more useful way than you managed to put it.
as for falcons and other ECM ships, 1 ECCM and a backup isnt going to get you out of hot water, so hows about you stop being a smacktard.
sitting here flaming people whilst failing to join in on the discussion in any useful way is stupid (all tho i do admit, its par for the course), get over yourself man.
if some dude wants to spunk billions on a fat ship then let him.
its like calling wildcat a dork for loosing his nightmare, these are pixels and they are there to have fun with.

You know I find some of the replies here funny.
In any game, people typically want the "best stuff". It's a given. You don't run around in Half Life shooting people with a Pistol, you don't build a Sim City without plopping down some rewards, and you don't settle for a pair when you are playing poker. Instead, you find a shotgun and go around blowing people away, you place all your city rewards in picturesque spots in your city and you go for four of a kind in poker.
Similarly in EVE, I don't settle for tech 2. I want the best. Ever since a couple years ago it has always been a personal goal to make the best out of every ship I fly. And I have fun doing it.
Nobody can prevent me from having fun. So I look at a ship and say "what can I do to this to make it the best it can be?" Sure I know each ship I fly has a limited life, but there are some ships I will enjoy for months.
What I see here in this thread is a large amount of disrespect for someone's idea of fun. That is just about scraping the barrel when it comes to putting someone down and to be honest it fails miserably.
I have never allowed the views of one person (or multiple persons) to prevent me from fitting ships in an extravagant way to please me. They make me happy. Going out with the rush that I have, hovering over my modules knowing there is nothing that can get the job done better is a feeling that excites and energizes my EVE experience. If I want to fit ships a certain way that others may not and they see it as "a horrible idea" then they don't have to fit their ships that way.
All I am looking for is ideas on fitting a Kronos. Here in this thread have been multiple good ideas which I am going to examine. So I'm pretty happy with the replies provided so far.
I'll have something fun soon. We'll see. :)
As for all the commentary and comments saying that I'm an idiot and other comments along those lines, it really just shows immaturity. Idiots do not have degrees from universities.
Anyway again, I want to thank the people that have helped me out. I think I've got what I need to sort out a good Kronos.

Quote: Where can we find the killmail?
couple of weeks ago aduro moved into our backsystem and started trying to ninja rat/live there. I noticed Siigari had lost a sin worth many billions so I decided to teach him how to use blackops the eos in the comments is siigari
And here's the Eos about a week or so later. He was sat on a gate, tackled by my falcon. He aggressed, but then forgot to turn off his point on my falcon so he stayed aggressed the entire time. It wouldn't have mattered anyway as he died in 59 seconds. And if you're wondering why he didn't just kill my falcon, he couldn't. My falcon tanks more than he did.
TBFH It makes no sence for you to come on to a thread about a Kronos fitting and bring up this stupid nonsence. None of what you just said has anything to do with the price of tea in china? So hush and sit back and wait till your time comes and i will be coming soon :). Also none of you people can sit there and tell me that you wish you weren't a poor lowlife and you wish that you had the isk to fit your ships like this. These items are in the game for a reason. They aren't used to just sit in your hanger and collect dust or link in your bio and say "Look what i got im never going to use it but it sure does look purdy". Get a life and find something else to do with your time rather than post on threads and make yourself look like a total noob. Thank you for reading

On the contrary I look forward to the day Siigari undocks with his kronos. I have the feeling though it will be somewhere far away, probably in high sec to run level 4 missions so he can afford more bling for his ships.

1. that eos killmail is nothing fancy..U blobed the man with even more isk than he is trying to put onto his kronos.
2. ECM from falcon is >> then ecm drones..Drones can be poped while falcon, 180km away, cannot. If he gets enemy falcon onto battlefield, he must hope that he is in jump range/docking range while he can pop drones with smartbombs. Thats why its pointless to fit ECCM if u are alone. Even if u dont have to tackle, one ECCM will not do any magic to anything! Kronos will still be jammed alot by 5x medium ECM drones.
3. As for tank > gank or gank > tank question..U gonna play solo? against solo players? U gonna roam 0.0? In 1:1 situation, if u can outlast the opponent, u win, in blobage situation, u have to have alot of gank to get as many KMs as u can.
4. fitting with those medium smarties from captator is very solid. Maybe reconsider switching LAR for one better (a/x-type), though u'll have to fit all ions then.. And i would go with 5 medium ecms and 5 warriors in dronebay..And some of those implants may be hard to get, but HG slaves, ZET 4000 and 5000 isnt such a bad idea. I wouldnt plugin zor's one, u are not fast in this ship, rather put something else there..
It really comes down to where u gonna play it, and with who.. ----- TCODA corporation is recruiting! TCODA is awesome! |

OMFG you dont get it do you? do you have the brain mass of a grain of salt? for gods sakes it doesnt matter what anyone in the entire universe of eve undocks in you can always be killed no matter what. Nobody in this game is untouchable, maybe if they are like you they will stay in station and spin there ship with their thumb up their a**. If you dont get that concept in your head then you should hang up your jock strap and sit and rotate, because heres the inside scoop my friend, the people who take risks in this game make in out to be one of the great ones...

Chugs out 1300 DPS for 3 minutes in overload, has a 1200 DPS tank in standard and does not sacrifice gank for tank. Throwing another magstab adds an additional 200 DPS on, but at the cost of 400 tank/sec.
So yeah, give me your ideas because I'm hitting a brick wall. I don't fit Megathron hulls much.

Damage rigs=LOL.
Every ship in the game is capable of being destroyed with the proper amount of force so I don't get the whole, "it's too expensive to fly in PvP..." Where does that mentality end?
Here's what the Kronos (and similar) are good for: sitting outside a station waiting for hot shots in [insert other expensive ship with expensive setup] to agree to 1v1 you, then you get their billions in loot if you can win. The Nightmare is by far the best ship for these displays of money and ego but a Kronos, Vargur and Navy Mega are also good.
I'm not incredibly rich so it'd be crazy to consider roaming around in a 4 billion ISK ship but on the other hand, a few years back I wouldn't go roaming in an Armageddon either, now I consider them dispensable.

The simple fact is marauders are not PvP ships. The base cost is absurdly high for what they do, and the pathetic sensor strength is a fatal weakness (especially when you don't even fit ECCM). Taking a setup like that into real PvP is just going to get you a very expensive lossmail.
Of course none of this really matters, since the real purpose of this thread is yet another of Siigari Kitawa's "I'm stupidly rich and I can throw away billions of ISK!!! LOOK AT MEEEEE!!!!!" ego boosts.
Disregard what Merin is saying. Go all out on the fitting. Consider faction drones as well. Just let me know when and where you want to go pvp.

Originally by: Merin Ryskin Officer/faction Kronos = pure stupidity. Officer/faction Kronos with no ECCM = were you dropped on your head as a child? Your absurd waste of ISK is going to die to the first random BC/BB/HAC with ECM drones it happens to run into, and that's not even considering how helpless it is if a real ECM ship shows up.
If you're going to take a carebear ship into PvP, at least fit it with pure T2 so you don't end up with such an embarrassing lossmail.
Fitting ECCM to a Kronos is a waste of time. Any beginning PVPer would know that. Second, ECM drones are a non issue as long as you fit 3x medium smarties in the spare high slots and stay far enough off of gates/stations to use them. Again, any first grade PVPer would know this.
If an actual ECM ship shows up, a Marauder is just as screwed as any other BS out there, that is, it's totally screwed. That's why you fly your Marauder with a Falcon/Rook/Scorp as overwatch with all Caldari ECM fit to counter-jam the enemy EW. Because everyone knows that the best defense against ECM is more ECM.

Edited by: Ronha Ottrit on 18/01/2009 05:07:03 Siigari Kitawa, these people who did not post settings were doing you a greater service in this thread. You would be more effective using the same money to buy 8 t2 fit Mega's, and apparently would have gained some much needed experience before you attempt to "fly the best" and blow billions of GTC bought dollars.
I guess in a way though your helping the economy, so by all means don't listen to me.
Also, as a fellow "perfectionist" when it comes to my gaming, I'd also like to point out that by now, in EVE, it's about minimizing your loss and maximizing your destruction, that also means flying a PvE ship into PvP solo, is a dumb dumb dumb idea. |

Edited by: Siigari Kitawa on 18/01/2009 05:48:32 Way to bump an old topic.
Also, the fittings I had on there were just for screwing around. Cormack guns, which everyone is wondering where they are, are very difficult to obtain on contracts. I have one so far, but it felt odd having one Cormack gun on a ship with 3 other guns, so I decided to just throw on faction guns in the meantime.
As for the issue of nanobots vs aux nanos, this is indeed true- nanobots give an increased tank but as you can apparently see, the ship was hardly anywhere near finished. I just used mostly stuff I had laying around and I think the only thing I actually bought for that ship was an x-type. Hell, even the ship was free from a friend.
I got a few good days out of the ship. :3 At any rate, it was fun while I had it ^_^
edit: just so I can be like Rajere and try to rub a lit cigar in my chest, I had the ship for about a week roaming around Northern Syndicate before you shot at it. Don't give yourself too much credit. |

Edited by: Spaztick on 18/01/2009 16:24:15 Better losing a Vindicator than a Kronos solo. And no DPS? That thing has 1000 DPS, and a more sustainable tank than the Kronos (even if it's not as much peak DPS). You can tank 2 battleships until your cap boosters run out. Of course one rapier with a raven buddy will ruin that for you, but who still flies solo? Gangs are more fun anyway.
3 Billion, OP, and I'll fly with you as a scout or support. Hell you might even survive your first PvP encounter. After all, everyone needs some type of spacer in their sigs to show it's not part of the post.

So true..
CCP needs to name an expansion after Farjung tbh, his vids made more ppl fall in love with EVE than all the trailers and other official **** put togather, nvm the poor copies and lame immitations that came after..
Prolly the only vids that can hold a candle to the Farjung series are Phonus's Vindication series, witch also qualify as immitations of the original Wave of Mutilation vids.. the rest, as in Constantinee's, DHB's etc, are jokes at beest..
As far as 'badass' goes, i concure, EVE lacks a true badass, like Farjung was.. <3Farjung

Originally by: Letifer Deus However, I still have to agree with Bellum. If you want to throw this much ISK into an active armor tank, Kronos is the way to go.
No, Marauders are never the way to go. They lack sensor strength; you can't bring a ship with such a little sensor strength in PvP. You wanna PvP in a super expensive ship? A Navy Mega or a Vindicator is still better than a Kronos... not only it's better, it's viable, while Marauders are not. It's like saying that a katana cuts better than a miracle blade knife. Sure it does, but you don't use a katana to cut your vegetables because it's not efficient... it takes too much space and it's not made for that. You use a miracle blade to cut your vegetables. It's like trying to cut a metal beam with a sword... it doesn't cut. On the other hand, a metal saw will do, even if it costs much less and it cuts less overall.
Marauders are not ships that can be used for PvP, especially solo. You will get jammed. |

And as Bellum pointed out, and I will point out again, there are two things that jam you: drones and falcons/scorps. Drones you will pop quickly with smartbombs and falcons/scorps will jam you w/o breaking a sweat whether your sensor strength is 13 or 23.
You might reply, "but, but if you're in a gang, the falcon will likely be able to jam 1 more BS than it could have if you were in something with a higher sensor strength." This is true, but if you're in a gang you don't really need a point and you can easily drop it for an eccm, and then you'll have a higher sensor strength than any other BS except the CNR. And you'll have a 90% web to boot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Brought to you by the letter ARRR!" |

While yes, smartbombs are awesome, there are two problems with that argument:
1) "Stay far enough off of gates/stations" is somewhat easier said than done, especially on a blaster ship. You can do it, but it's going to cost you missed kills.
2) Most of the marauder PvP fits I've seen don't have them (no doubt because neuts are such an appealing use of those high slots). Such as the OP's fit that I was attacking with that quoted post. Note that he's got offline salvagers in those high slots. So whether or not you prefer ECCM or smartbombs for your anti-ECM strategy, my point is that the OP's setup has absolutely no defense against them, which is just ****ing stupid.
Quote: If an actual ECM ship shows up, a Marauder is just as screwed as any other BS out there, that is, it's totally screwed. That's why you fly your Marauder with a Falcon/Rook/Scorp as overwatch with all Caldari ECM fit to counter-jam the enemy EW. Because everyone knows that the best defense against ECM is more ECM.
In that case, the marauder is just a really bad idea, especially with that absurdly overpriced faction/officer tank. If you've got a Falcon backing you up, who cares what your tank is, just get a typical gank Armageddon (or if you really have to take the marauder, at least stick with plain T2). Plain T2 will cover the failed jam cycles just fine, and you'll have enough ISK left over to buy a couple replacement marauders. |

no, you didn't. You got 5 kills with the Kronos: As you can see here First kill, while you were bringing it from empire, dated Jan 13th, a fearsome reaper! second kill, the 15th, a comedy fit Curse who caught you while you were ratting 1 system over from your station. Good job, btw. Third kill, a pod on the 16th. Were you just trying to fluff up your kills since you'd brought it home? fourth and final kills on the 17th, the day you lost it, a thorax and drake, again 1 system over from your station, who were carebearing.
They told us you were out and about, we told them we were on our way and to tackle you. We got caught up in a bubble from another roaming gang and you managed to kill them during the delay. You warped off to a pos shield the moment we entered system. We parked an alt on the A-Z gate and you sat in a pos for several hours. I logged off and went to the movies :P but you know how the rest of the story panned out. You thought you were special, and wanted to play "lets agress someone right outside of station then deagress immediately" game. We had a cerb who was more than willing to play that game with you, despite the fact that we've already shown you specifically that we can kill you in <60 seconds when you try and play these games, you fell for it yet again and it cost you a kronos, this time.
