i hear lots of people rave about the nyx and so forth and ive seen multiple people fly other races dreads and carrier and motherships but seems to me the hel is a rarity....so my question is this
why or what is so bad about the hel that few people buy and or fly it? and where does it compare to the other motherships?
these are questions im wondering thank you :) |

because it's bonuses suck.
Why would you need a 20 bil glorified station / pos repper? |

When you can use a carrier for the occasion....just adding to your statement. |

Hel compared to other motherships:
+ Best remote reps + Highest base speed + Highest base scan resolution + Very pretty (although this is a bit subjective)
- Indecisive slot layout - Less EHP (Nyx doesn't have a resist bonus, but good HP nonetheless) - Least amount of cap (but they all have identical base cap/s recharge)
If you wish to fly one well, capitalising on the first major plus point is the most logical choice. This means 3 remote rep mods, a shield tank and CPR's in the lows.

It's bonuses sucks?. Are you dumb?.
First of all, a Hel is not a solo ship. IT'S A FLEET SHIP. And when it's a fleet ship, then it's bonuses to remote repping is the best thing you can have.
The more you can remote rep others, the longer they can stay alive. And the longer your support is staying alive, then the longer your Hel is going to be alive to.
It doesn't help to have a Nyx that can do some more DPS than a Hel when it can't keep it's support alive, because it's remote reps doesn't rep enough.
It's the same with the Nidhoggur.

Because all the players are mostly going after EFT numbers, and because of the EFT numbers, then the Hel sucks. But on the other hand, it doesn't sucks as some may say it does.
It's the same with the FOTM noobs, who only looks at the EFT numbers. And then goes after the ships who have the highest numbers in different things and then think it owns.

eft i think is a good guideline but i would never base a ship purchase based on what eft says
also is there anything wrong with wanting to or actually flying another races capital or super capital ship?

Nightmare, while I agree that the hel is a good ship it is suffering from the mothership syndrome like the others which is that it doesn't perform it's role a whole lot better than a few carriers could.

then again, you can turn that around and say: better to have 1 MS than 1 carrier ;) afterall a pilot can only fly one ship at a time. |

Weak tank - yeah but tank doesn't matter much, its simply low on resists (/ehp). Usefulness is great when fitted properly but all hel mails I've seen so far (not many - owing to the popularity of the ship) were utter fail fits. |

If you're flying a shield tanked ship, in a fleet with other shield tanked ships (ie two Hels will identical layouts), wouldn't you need a remote shield booster?

The Hel is an enigma to the general Eve playerbase...and frankly even many well informed players don't know much about it.
However, if I was ever to fly a mom, that would be the one I'd fly. |

I don't know very much about setups for motherships yet, but i believe this setup here is good: Hel Tank Setup.
Yeah that setup probably cost 3 times more than the ship. But you need a good tank on the ship anyways.
Any comments to that setup Sokratesz?.

Yeah that setup probably cost 3-4 times more than the ship. But you need a good tank on the ship anyways.
If i change out the Semiconductor Memory Cell II for a 2nd Capacitor Control Circuit II, then i will go from 46% cap stable to 49% cap stable.
So what would you have taken here?.

2 fits on a Hel and NO remote ECM burst?
I think the main reason you see less Hels that the other Mother ships is that there is a perception that Minimatar Capitals are worse than the rest.
I think most minmatar pilots end up cross training other racial bs's to lvl5 for their cap in lieu of minmatar bs5.

Having said that, isn't it a failfit to use cap power relays with shield booster tank? Or would it be viable to run a dual rep armor tank with 3 faction eanm and 7 cap recharger II? (or even just 1 rep and 4 hardeners since we're assuming carrier rr fleet)

normaly its fail to fit cpr on a ship with shieldbooster tank. but carriers are different since a local perma running tank isn't the important part.. its having enough cap to run remote reps and dont get cap dead by some neuts so even if the sheildboost amount gets crap by fitting lows with cpr :)
whats wrong with a domi warp disrupter? personaly I wouldnt fly any ship in eve without takling (except mega blob inty gangs) and a officer warp disruptor is so much more expencive and hardly worth it :P |

HEL are win.
Thruout the INSRG NC and friends conflict i flew the hel both nanoed and shield tanked also armor repping and mass used drugs, jumping in as the first MS into EQI agains 30 + dreads nanoing it out of their range while coverd by 4 carriers and the ECM burst.
The ship itself are EPIC win, flown right and as a mobile platform for other reasons.
So during the 6 month and everyday pvp i will say it's one of the most versitile ships i had and the RISK adds extra spice.

23k Tank in triage, permaruns all remote reps in triage which is great for POS repping I suppose, or if you just happen to have less than ~23k enemy dps on the field that decide to gun for you (6 dreads won't break this tank), out of triage you can permarun every module and have a 6k tank, which I'd fit 2 smartbombs instead of the ECM/triage if you're away from a POS.
Cons: Blood expensive, the shield hardeners cost as much as the ship, but then again you're not flying this thing because it's cost-effective are you? |

Its silly bringing up setups with estamel invuls etc, that wont prove anything since noone in eve will ever use such setups. Be realistic here.. Problem with minnie caps is that they are very good at repping and saving others, but they cant rep themselves which might be a good idea sometimes. Even in fleet you might get unlucky having few carriers as support and get primary. The mix between shield and armor tanking may also bid on problems. I have been using my carrier in fleet many times, trained the skills long time ago, but didnt care to train the shield transfer skill before now. I think that armor transfer is more important to be honest, and i know that many pilots share this opinion. |

hey everyone..thanks for info i appreciate it.
one thing ive noticed is the officer mods are cool but if a officer mod is 2 billion and gives X percentage and a deadspace gives the same X percentage but only 1.5 billion then i would go for the deadspace no need to spen extra if a cheaper version gives the same bonuses or whatever
but i wonder ive heard both shield and armor tanks for the hel and while no ship in eve has a perfec setup ive always been told if a ship has more low slots then armor tank and if has more mid slots then shield tank but thats what ive learned..but keep the info coming :) |

This comes up time after time and it's an urban myth. Any rep is good rep and there are as many caps who shield tank as those who armourtank, besides the added effects of being able to rep support better and being able to rep poses and stations.

Shield and armor reps are just as important as each other.
As for the CPR comment, you don't need that kind of cap recharge to run a remote rep, and there's no reason to run more than one on a mothership. PDUs also give more buffer, and not having a damage control (also for buffer) is a mistake as well.
(In before Sokratesz says that buffer is useless and doesn't save you, and I mention that he would have been able to get inside the POS if his setup had more than 3m EHP but hey at least he died at full cap) |

well thanks again for info....and hopefully with the new patch coming out hopefully motherships will be improved so as to make people happy
someday i would like to fly a mothership and again i got a ways to go but dont have the skills and or isk to even remotely fly one. If you fly a mothership would highend faction and deadspace be good enough to fit a mothership?
thanks again

Probably due to the capital line-up in general. Most people scream the Nalg and Nid suck rear end, ultimately, if you're going to fly a Hel, you're probably going to have time invested into these ships too, ultimately the Thanatos, Moros & Nyx lineup is better than the Minmatar version (and sexier for me, although I love the Nid).

Slightly more complicated than that, and untrue on me dying or not. I died because I jumped in not because of lack of EHP. EHP matters more on MS than on carriers (but less so than on dreads). The cap bonuses of PDU's are simply not on par with those of CPR's and the 5% extra shield you get from them is kind of nice but it compensates in nothing for the loss of cap recharge. Spend the money you save by using CPR's on better hardeners and you'll make up for it easily.

ya man. alongwith yours and agmars MS they must have took more hits than any MS in eve.
HEL is good because it does exactly what its meant to, and thats by keeping everything else alive. a MS aint a 1 man pwn machine, its a logistical ship.
If your in a MS and cant keep your fleet alive then your in the poo. because ill pretty much guarantee that they will have dictors or hics.
its aloways going to be first target alongwith the nid because its the most usefull ship in the enemy fleet and has the wosrt tank, but u cant have everything as its all about ballance. yup.

Projectiles is Capless, this is why it has lower cap.. <.<

The only thing i think it would need is to be more cap stable, so you don't get so fast in troubles if your getting neuted.
IDK Nightmare could be because that EFT setup has modules on it equal to the value of a Titan, I know Draclira's, Chelm's and Estamels stuff looks really shiny but the price tag is enough to buy more than a Mothership.
Good EFT setup's should show a workable setup using T2 modules then spice it up with further setups showing it with faction/officer gear that isn't equal to the price of the ship itself. And by equal to the price of the ship I mean each module.
Sokratesz setup isn't too bad except maybe for the Pith X-Type gear although I suppose it's kinda affordable if you can setup in a Mothership to start with. Personally I'd always use a Sensor Booster on a Mothership but each to his own.
As for Sokra losing his mothership I don't think the PDS in low slots would of bought him enough time to get into shields anyway Viper so its pointless commenting on it. Especially as within seconds of his Mothership dying the dreads started taking chunks out of the POS shields and we lost carriers that couldnt get to the control tower itself to be out of range of the dictor bubbles to jump out.

Problem with minmatar carriers is two fold:
They have the weakest tank of the three races; gallente are stronger normally, and the amar and caldari have tremendous level bonuses to resists.
The minmitar's very nice bonus also has a handicap; it makes it THE primary in a fleet engagement. Whereas the other carriers have range bonuses to their remote repping, the minmitar has an amount bonus.
So, that's why minnie blows. As an extra kick to the groin, the minnie's dread has awful split weapon systems and a third tier tank. |

While it sucks that the Hel has the weakest tank, it wouldnt stop me from buying it. I like the way it looks and I like its bonuses.
Besides, in some cases things like 'The Best' is cyclical. Is the Hel ever going to have the best tank out of the Moms? no. Its bonuses arent that of the Wyvern or Aeon. But if they moved around the slotting a bit, it would have a better tank.
A buddy of mine always makes females on his rpgs, because as he states 'If I have to look at the back of someone for hours and hours while I play, I want it to be a hot female'. My thoughts are similar in Eve. If I am going to be stuck in a supercap, I want to like the look of it. |

So how come your avatar is male?
Just a FYI the Hel did get its slots changed around from what I can remember changing it from a armor tanker to a shield tanker by virtue of its new slot arrangements.
