I am currectly flying a Harbinger(very happy with it), and training for a Zealot.
I will use the Zealot in Gangs(no problem), but i will use it as a SOLO ship(low sec and 0.0).
1.- Is it viable?. 2.- Any suggestions for fitting?
Any idea is wellcome.
Thanks in advance

Edited by: Darth Felin on 29/01/2009 12:07:19 Solo is not very easy for Zealot but you can try this config:
[Zealot, FMP] Medium Armor Repairer II Damage Control II 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I Adaptive Nano Plating II Adaptive Nano Plating II Heat Sink II Heat Sink II
10MN MicroWarpdrive II Medium Electrochemical Capacitor Booster I, Cap Booster 800 Warp Disruptor II

Why not use scorch? |

A Navy Omen would be better for this, extra Drones and free High for a Neut to get of Scrams or orbitting Frigs, the only realy thing you loose is range. |

Do not attempt this. It always ends badly.
Pilgrim, Curse, Sacrilege, Harbinger. Use one of those for solo work.
Even the arbitrator is better in many ways (avoid missile / drone boats) and won't waste your isk. |

The problem with a solo zealot is that you kinda need a tank, and since you can't really active tank it, that means putting a buffer on...
... which makes you kinda strictly worse than a harbinger. Plus you don't have the slots for mwd/web/point/injector.
You could probably do it of course but you're not really playing to the ship's strengths. |

Well, I was playing around with maximizing the buffer on the zealot without taking away its firepower or speed too much, and this is what I came up with:
[Zealot, Alternate] Heat Sink II Heat Sink II Heat Sink II Internal Force Field Array I Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II 800mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I Adaptive Nano Plating II
Y-T8 Overcharged Hydrocarbon I Microwarpdrive Warp Disruptor II Sensor Booster II
Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M Heavy Pulse Laser II, Scorch M
Energy Burst Aerator I Energy Collision Accelerator I
It has almost a 31,000 EHP buffer, can travel at ~1553m/s in bursts, and maintains ~480dps with scorch out to around 34km's. The catch is that you need a 1% CPU implant and a 3% PG implant, and level 5 skills in those related fields, in order to fly it. I've seen Zealots with more buffer than this before, but none of them have also fit an MWD.

The CPU implant and the PG implant are both slot 6. Gun CPU implant is a different slot I believe.
Seems to me the worst part of the solo zealot solo is that it has no real options for escaping tacklers who manage to get close.
To the OP, I'd strongly suggest flying something else for solo.

Zealot makes for a poor solo ship because the optimal bonus is really the only reason to ever use it over a harbinger in any situation, and when soloing you can't take advantage of that bonus because you have to remain within tackle range of the target. |

If you use a 30k sram then you can both use the bonus and solo. Downgrade to fmp, fit 3 hs instead of two and you've freed up grid, improved tracking and made use of the range bonus + the cap use reduction means you can fit a web for those "oh $*!*" moments (also fmp track frigs well).
If you really dont want to fly the harb though,, and got isk to burn buy a navy omen, fit a 1600 plate and a trimark or two and it's basically a faster, more flexible zealot/harb. |

Fly a Sac if you want to solo. After all, everyone needs some type of spacer in their sigs to show it's not part of the post.

Ha ha, so much for that.
Turret CPU reduction implant is slot 10 though, so it'll work... though you will need to train Energy Weapon Rigging V >:(
... Okay, if I had the money, I'd fly this:

The Zealot does not like fitting that much CPU intensive stuff. upwards of 600 dps. Faction point is there because a: 36km warp disruptors are broken good on Zealots and it saves 26 CPU over a T2 point (!!!!)... and you still need to use an ANP and an IFFA DC. |

I've been using this. It's a fun ship to fly, probably my favorite at the moment. The only thing it really has going for it over a 1600 plated version, or a Harb, is its speed. Like others have said here, the Harb is the better choice in most situations.

Well it's 36km with overload, 30km normally. My bad. They're about 100 mil I think :-/ but they're perfect for the zealot because of the range AND the fitting __________________________________

Counter-webbing, really. Webbing people before they get close to you, and then you can unload on them with close range ammo while they're stuck out of range. I didn't go for a cap booster because I didn't want to spare the PG for it and because 13km is outside the range of medium neuts anyway, and the cap is otherwise pretty good.

[Zealot, HP + PST + HSx3 + TEx3 + DC] Fit
There are any number of good gang fits for a zealot but i'd definitely rather have the fit that runs a sensor booster and range rigs over the shield buffer one. __________________________________

If you want to solo with a Zealot, stay the frick out of web range and have a cap injector incase you get neuted. Faction Multifreq is the LAST ammo you ever want to use. I'd use a sort of kiting fit, and keep people at 18-24km at all times.
The Harbinger generally makes a better solo laser boat, due to the extra midslot, HP and drone bay. *** Currently Playing: Trolls from Outer Space Current Equipment: VISAcard chain mail, +2 Amulet of Epic Whine, Self Banstick +2 WTB: +666 E-peen killboard stats |

My zealot setup.
Dark Blood thermic hardener. Dark Blood energized adaptive nano membrane. DC II. HS II. HS II. Meditation medium armour rep. Medium armour rep II.
10mn microwarpdrive. Republic fleet warp disruptor. Medium cap injector II
Medium focused pulse II.x5 auxillary nano pumps X2
It works great but im always looking for 800 charges as it only holds 6. |

What i think after reading all your sugestions it is that flying a Zealot SOLO it is a bad idea. I also fly a harby, but i like really very much the zealot. Perhaps i will use it for rating in 0.0 in friendly space(inside alliance space) and for more risky situations i will use the harby.
Thanks for your replays.
any more suggestions are welcome.

Edited by: fivetide humidyear on 30/01/2009 11:34:34 Harbinger for solo and zealot for gangs as stated above, if you have to solo one something like this for low sec work the beam and ranged pulse setups are very useful for gang work though, and that is what i would recommend
5x focussed medium pulse II (scorch)
10mn MWD II warp disruptor II medium electrochemical cap booster
2x MAR II 2x heat sink II 1x EANM II 1x ANP II 1x DCU II
nanobot and aux nano pumps
iirc cpu was tight hence the adaptive nano plate. it's a risky proposition solo.

2x MAR II ... ... nanobot and aux nano pumps
I would prefer 2x Aux Nano Pumps...the Nanobot accel might look better in optimum-EFT conditions, but it lowers the cap efficiency of a ship that's heavily cap dependent... Join the Biggest Greek Corp! www.Mythos-eve.com - Join Mythos Channel in game! |
