But yeah, damsel is blitzable too, especially with barrage. i suppose that depends on npcs losing target when you warp or keeping it. Havn't tried it yet, seems like a pretty close call if they keep targets. Also: dang i thought tengu was the shizz for blitzing these days. Anyway, not going to train ducttape on my main. Got a minmatar alt that was supposed to pvp; flys t2 frigs. Any spot in the hatchery open? | ||

Domi as a blitz? It does as well as you could hope for a nonfaction bs especially considering its you know about a billion isk cheaper. The speed is where it lacks of course so you'll lose points whenever you have to slow boat in it but theres really only a handful of those you wouldnt decline outright anyways. Mach is first and foremost a falloff boat depending on what rats your running against the domi sentries are have nice optimal which helps over come the 'eft dps' furthermore tossing drone dps into the mach when talkign about blitzing its a bit of a misnomer when youre using meds, most targets are dead before the slow ass mediums get there to be of much use anyways. As far as tank is concerned, the domi as a mission boat is almost always set up to perma tank entire rooms anyways. Is a mach a faster and better blitzer? Yes of course its also a bout a billion more expensive to fit properly. | ||

But in the isto pocket it takes a long time to get the mission due to there being 4 agents i have to go to to find a mission that i want to accept. (however all i know is that mach > drake, so i want one), and the 250mil was made without the LP skills cos im a noob like that, so they will add on lots of monies. | ||

Yes of course its also a bout a billion more expensive to fit properly. Sentries don't have that much range compared to a mach. Also add "gone berserk" to the list of missions you blitz. And a billion is nothing to spend on a missionboat that makes that kind of income. It pays for itself in an evening. | ||

Of course its a better boat and pays for itself if hes broke though the domi will get him plexing and towards a mach if he wants to min max his missioning which was my point, even better if he has no interest in min bship 5(or 4 for you slackers), and t2 large autos he can save himself a lot of grief. In terms of dps on target youd the ac mach suffers from falloff diminishing that high eft dps it definitely can things quicker than a domi at close enough ranges but when youre reaching out 30k+ youre probly about on par for a domi. I'd be willing to post the turret guide for you again though as I understand that from your extensive drake over exposure concepts beside "Eye pooshed de bootan and dey miss ills hit de are gets" is still rather cryptic Like I said the mach is a better boat but its not omgwtfbbqpwn beyond the scope of other good mission ships when it comes to missioning. Now compared to drake and maelstrom it totally is because those ships are utter crap at missions. Which until recently was what the hatchery was using as mission ships for some god awful reason. | ||

So at 30km you are still doing about 80% of your base damage. | ||

Now compared to drake and maelstrom it totally is because those ships are utter crap at missions. Actually the drake is an amazing missionboat for its own reasons. Again you spend half the time blitzing moving to and from the mission/gates and the drake is the same speed as a mach (way faster than a domi) here. Furthermore its range, tank and speed make it a more than capable blitzer. However, where the drake really comes into its own is lowsec missioning. A fully pvp fit nanodrake (point and all) can blitz l4s with ease and can handle itself in lowsec gatecamps and probers. It loves to be probed down in a mission with a set warpin and it's very capable of dealing with gatecamps. With a drake you can do everything outside the dps faster or at the same speed as a domi (warping to and from, mwding around) and your dps isn't much worse, better at range and you get 50% more LP a mission. On the topic of a mach, you're agreeing it does way more dps close up. Are you aware it goes 2k/s? | ||

So at 30km you are still doing about 80% of your base damage. sooooo using the numbers from earlier whats 80% of the machs dps? 1204 now what was the domi (who is in optimal) 1126, pretty close for off the top of my head. Seriously don't explain to me how falloff in a mach works. I've been flying machs for missions longer than anyone currently in corp I believe, hell when i joined there was a grand total of what three missioners either in drakes or maels? | ||

Which is all a moot point because the tengu is infinitely better at running lowsec missions. Beside I was under the impression we were talking highsec here, but yea lowsec get a tengu. | ||

You dont need to faction the tank you dont want to be gank target at the very most cheapish faction shield booster/amp drop the nos it doesnt help iirc most stick a tractor beam or drone control augmentor (whatever theyre called) Rigs, go damage unless you have bad cap skills then put ccc you can use an mwd in missions now | ||

Or something like that. I know karah only has 3 tank slots. Also i would prefer a mircowarpdrive on it, if you get a nice pimp one they dont get cap reductions. | ||

Beside I was under the impression we were talking highsec here, but yea lowsec get a tengu. Really don't. Tengu has marginally more dps with cn scourge, comparable without (can't use fury) and that dps increase comes from rate of fire bonuses which will make you hate those cn scourge. Furthermore it can't cruise around PvP fit and can't fit a mwd for obvious reasons. The price tag makes it worth camping with shit that can kill it (and it will get killed really easily if caught on a gate by a gang with a rapier) and a cloak makes the dps shit. An unprobable tengu is in every way worse than a drake at missions. Worse for killing small shit, more expensive, more likely to get camped, less able to deal with camps, unable to kill small targets quickly, slower movement speed. The only reason to mission lowsec in a tengu is if you're never going to have to jump a gate (or can fit covops, jump gate, dock up, unfit covops sub, refit damage, then go to mission which takes fucking forever) or the space is really, really hostile. Neither of those apply, a drake is much, much better. | ||
