Gotta say, that has to be the most bad-ass capsule I've ever seen. It's packin' heat.
|
I just came up with a ship fitting that leaves a midslot empty.
I don't have the CPU to put anything there, but even if I did, I have no idea what I would want to put there anyways.....
It feels weird to leave a slot empty.....

I don't feel that a falloff bonus (which the atron has) synergizes particularly well with rails -- I think an Incursus is a stronger choice if you're just going to kite. Atron falloff bonus screams kiting with null, in my opinion.
What's the optimal on that? Most strong rail setups I've seen use the scram/web/ab --> kite at edge of scram strategy. I'm not sure you're going to be hitting at the edge of long point range.
In any case, there's always something you could put into that midslot that would really help you -- of the top of my head I can think: MSE, TD, web, cap booster.

Atron has the bonus to warp disruptor activation cost, which is really huge on a frigate.
Optimal is 11.2k, falloff is 17.7k, 112 dps, 4226 m/s unheated, 3.37 second align, 4+ minutes of cap, .105 tracking.
I've had a lot of success with my untanked arty rifter. I simply kill tackle before the rest of their gang can get to me. Comparing my arty rifter stats.....
Optimal is 13.3k, falloff is 13.7k, 62 dps, 3704 m/s unheated, 3.6 second align, infinite cap (due to cap booster), .179 tracking.
Nearly twice the dps, better in almost every way except tracking (slightly lower optimal as well, and slightly less EHP). I want to give this a shot, since I've found that I'm hitting hard, even up close, with my arty rifter, so tracking seems to not be an issue with how I fly.
Plus, a worse fit absolutely slaughtered my arty rifter at range. And I mean slaughtered. Simply put, it's just better than my rifter, and my rifter has been working very well for me.
EDIT - I'm literally at 99.20% cpu usage with that mid slot left empty. I'd have to do something drastic to be able to fit something there, and I'm not sure if it's even worth it, because everything that the ship really needs is already on it.

i have no idea how you're getting 17.7km falloff with 150mm rails. With trajectory analysis and gal frig V you're getting 11.25 km falloff. Similarly, even with sharpshooter V, I'm not seeing how you're getting 11km optimal (even with 5% hardwirings).
You can't judge a ship by its 1v1 matchups -- conventional podla drake straight up loses to talos, that doesn't mean that one is strictly better than the other.
maybe try downgrading to 125s, see if that can buy you a TD

It's already heavily tanked. It's heavily speed tanked, and heavily dps tanked. What more do you need?

that thing has no tank. i don't think i need to tell you but leaving a mid or low slot empty is basically unforgivable on any ship
you will die in 5 seconds to drones and other frigs. anything that can't catch you or can't match your range will just leave. it is a terrible fit. here's a better one (note: still bad) that i made in 30 sec doesn't use your ~elitepvp~ implants, although you should just fit a scram and blasters with null anyway

"will die to a flight of warrior IIs" is a criticism that can be directed towards a lot of setups, but its not always a relevant one
i do think this atron has an exceptionally poor matchup against the thrasher (sticking around to see whether its AC would be kind of un-advisable, unless you are good at looking at guns) which I would imagine you would see a lot of in RvB
anything that can't catch you or can't match your range will just leave. yeah that's not true
did he kill those vengance inc. black ops bads?
that's pretty noble of him.

no, most frigates won't just roll over and die to warrior iis with a competent pilot. even something as fragile as a stiletto or an ares can kill warrior iis before the warrior iis do any structure damage
it really is true, although "yeah that's not true" is a compelling argument indeed. mwd frig fights are so easy to leave, because the person kiting has to be afraid of sling shots, if they burn after you when you try to leave, you can often get a scram and kill them. if they don't, you are away. you can claim to be tom cruise in top gun and say that would never happen to you, but i don't believe you. if he had a scram web and fought at the edge of scram it would be a different story, but implying you can't just leave against something like this is just plain incorrect, especially if he actually plans to fight outside 20k (i assume he does, why else would he try so hard to get such range)
all the above is assuming you can get them to engage you in the first place. your primary targets in that thing are going to be slow, brawling frigs and destroyers, and neither is going to aggress an atron going 4kms^-1 at 20km plinking away at your shields. if you assume your opponent is god awful, then it really doesn't matter what you fly
e: this is what he did http://pizza.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=14317666 apparently it's true about him just laughing to much to warp, he had 5 core stabs lmao

my stiletto cant kill warriors 2s :< Also why did bbq get warned for that picture :D

I have the weirdest boner right now because of that whispering guy

And yet you're happy to assume that all kiting pilots are bad enough to always get caught in a sling shot?
MWD kite frigs are fun in the sense that instead of approach f1 theres a signifcant need to manaully pilot and pay attention/try to predict what the other pilot is going to do. Assuming they're all going ot be shit is an easy way to get killed, but on the other side assuming that they're always going to out pilot you and sling shot catch you, pretty much leaves you stuck docked up deciding that in such a strange game the only way to win is to not play, so maybe a game of chess?
