So unless if Drake really is > Claymore, Pilgrim, Hurricane, Vigilant & Guardian, there was actually some skill involved and since I died, I am fairly sure you have to agree that they had a (good) chance at killing me.

You would be surprised by how often I cock things up.. Wed, 8 Feb 2012 20:05:25 +0000 http://fleeonsight.blogspot.com/2012/01/alt-truisms.html#IDComment287311059 http://eveoganda.blogspot.com/2012/01/fight-in-parts.html#IDComment261590920 I think you're slightly confused - the Parts BS gang was originally a BC gang we killed who then shipped up whilst we got another Drake to join us. Shadow gang had no Oracle/Rapier/Scimitar that I could see, so it was roughly an even fight - 9 vs 8 at least, possibly 9 vs 9. Morin died an hour prior to the actual fight so the ships on his mail weren't actually there. Fun times though.

I play to find as many good fights as possible when I'm on, so it's all about getting as many fights as I can where I at least have a chance and to that end having a boosting alt helps massively. Oh and it's also economical, less losses to 20+ gangs and more kills <3 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:08:55 +0000 http://fleeonsight.blogspot.com/2012/01/alt-truisms.html#IDComment261358170 http://fleeonsight.blogspot.com/2012/01/alt-truisms.html#IDComment261356546 Yeah I tend not to roam that far nowadays, mostly because I can engage nearly anything I see with a Drake + boosting alt so fights tend to come thick & heavy after a few jumps. I have a better story :). I was fighting a 450M Shield Rifter (who also had HG pirate implants) in my Laser Incursus and was thrashing him when he had to call in a friend in a Falcon to assist him. Rifter managed to kill me as I couldn't web him back to pull range. Much rage that day as he was bleeding into hull when I got jammed.

Depending on where you PvP, this can be a significant portion of targets you see in space or none at all. For example, probes have reduced use of 0.0 as most PvErs are running anomalies. Personally, I only drop probes with the alt after I've spotted a target with d-scan. Most of the time he's moving ahead or to the side, trying to find more targets.

Last time I checked Rage vs Armor Frigates did less damage than Faction, but that was a little while ago - my skills have gone up considerably since then. As for your conclusion, I agree. Rocket boats DPS is not that much lower than Turrets, but for a fight where every little counts (picking off tackle before the gang arrives), Rocket can't compare to a gank orientated Wolf or Enyo.

The tank goes down, but the DPS goes up remarkably. Also, carry both Rage & Faction rockets! Use Rage vs shield buffer frigates and above, whilst Faction against the rest (Interceptors etc.) due to the Rage rockets having a slower explosion velocity!

However, *someone* told me that heat actually does wrap around. Testing ingame reveals you (and I) are indeed correct and this has been fixed.

My UI is fairly standard - nothing out of the ordinary. However, I do make extensive use out of zooming in and out mid fight - zooming in for better detail and zooming out for a better overview of what's going on.

Also, stop showing me up! :( Wed, 21 Sep 2011 12:56:31 +0000 http://fleeonsight.blogspot.com/2011/09/location-location-location.html#IDComment196215439 http://www.rifterdrifter.com/2011/09/is-it-possible-to-be-ghetto-fabulous/#IDComment190352718 You just have to focus on the advantages it has over the Myrm - namely much more resistant to neuts (bigger base cap, bigger cap booster) and much, much more DPS (800 vs ~500) which should offset the reduced tank somewhat. Tue, 6 Sep 2011 15:13:27 +0000 http://www.rifterdrifter.com/2011/09/is-it-possible-to-be-ghetto-fabulous/#IDComment190352718 http://www.rifterdrifter.com/2011/09/is-it-possible-to-be-ghetto-fabulous/#IDComment190351126 I'm not sure if you know what exactly he is trying to do - an active tanked Battleship is much, much better than a buffered Battleship for small gang/solo PvP since it will let you tank more over the course of a standard engagement. Not to mention that the non-trimarked buffer on a standard 2-2-2 fit is laughably thin for a Battleship - a mere 90k EHP compared to the (overheated) 76k EHP on Wensley's ghetto-Mega meaning he just has to live for 20 seconds to have a longer tank. Case in point, 2 Drakes could probably gank down your Megathron before they both die, whereas the ghetto-Mega can almost certainly kill them both with little difficulty.

Tue, 6 Sep 2011 15:05:07 +0000 http://www.rifterdrifter.com/2011/09/is-it-possible-to-be-ghetto-fabulous/#IDComment190350479 http://www.rifterdrifter.com/2011/09/is-it-possible-to-be-ghetto-fabulous/#IDComment190281125 Probably says more about the importance of those rigs - without them the tank on either a BC or BS is fairly flimsy and can easily be overwhelmed by a single ship of the same class. Might be worthwhile upgrading to T2 scrambler & web since I would imagine you need all the tracking you can get. Also, I would personally go with a neut instead of a Smartbomb due to the number of Cynabals, Vagabonds etc. that you'll fight. I'm looking forward to seeing how you do, I've just started flying Active Battleships myself and their tanks are insane. Also, don't forget damage rigs - dirt cheap and they fit comfortably, as well as pills which are only 3m or so.
