Neither of those are that bad tbh

Quoting from kwark (and it makes sense): that arazu's purpose is to point stuff that jumps through a wh before it warps off. It's very good for that purpose.

The only reason you'd use torps on a manticore is if you want to kill a battleship. If on the other hand you just want to fly around, decloak and instantly point/kill random small shit, this fit is perfect for that.

I thought that a razu already would have a fast enough locking time.... also if you are on a worm hole and wait our your session timer.... it doesn't matter how fast they can lock you, as you can just jump back through the hole

besides- you don't think 3 sensor boosters, and no damps is a bit overkill?

I thought that manti fit was lulzy.... again why do you need a sensor booster on a freaking t2 frig?

That's not to say either of them is a particularly good fit. I'm saying they're a logical fit. You can look at the mods he's fitting and the context and work backwards and identify the thought process. Arazu is for pointing shit. Sebo is for locking shit fast. Arazu with sebo in wh makes sense.
Equally manticore has 0 second decloak delay. Scram and web = tackle. SML > torp for most things you'll be tackling with a manticore. He's not using it as a standard stealth bomber but the mods in combination make sense.

Take a look at this for an example of what we're looking for.

They really don't. I miss cynabals jumping through gates in my arazu.

holyshit kwark- mine are not even close lol

I don't stand a chance on the fail fit. Although I want to try that super armor tanked drake some time hehe I can understand the logical razu fit I suppose, but those damps are just so nice- and to fit so many sensor booster was a bit over kill- but ohh well.

Also kwark- why so much hate on the SB stuff? we just made our first ransom- things are going well

Alex just randomly QQed from eve. He was saying that he accidentally put his stack of nanite in the corp hangar and wanted it back to which I replied "yeah, I accidentally put all my mods in our fittings hangar, can I have them back too?" and he suddenly cracked. He left corp, TS and logged off after giving me all his isk. We weren't even trolling him that hard.

Alex, I'll hold onto your isk and give it to you when you come back. Also lol.

It's funny because I moved 2000 nanite from unsorted to fittings.

Or maybe it's not funny.

Can I have his stuff?

Who else would it be? I said on TS "I don't know, I see 2000 nanite in fittings....hehehehehe"

Last time I did something like that he told me to give it back.

This reminds me of this one time I bought 100k worth of nanite to ship down to 0.0 to market for great profit. Except that I made the mistake of trusting a certain carrier pilot with it who takes about 2-3 months to get it delivered (or maybe it was Revo). Morale of story: Possibly losing 2k nanite isn't as bad as 100k nanite =_=. (I also think I ended up losing profit because PI hit by then and GC ended up losing SOV so movement of the stuff plummeted)

We just had a rather fun fight against a couple different groups of opponents on a belt in bosena. It started with me in an arty cane and Weken in a slicer against a rokh and a myrm, couple canes and shit. Shtang Lord also warped in a curse but we were uncertain whether he was on their side. Kwark warps in and we fought with his drake and my arty cane bringing down the rokh into armor, but we were forced to burn off and lose point and I burned out my guns anyway at the last second. We warped out to repair and regroup and for round 2.

We gained Karah's drake and Weken had reshipped into a Harb, while they brought in a Vigilant. We warp back and Kwark fucks up and gets webbed->scrammed by the vigilant. The 3 of us regroup as a harb, drake and arty cane as Kwark goes to reship.

Kwark comes back in his drake while we are taking shots at random stuff. They disengage and warp out but we manage to get point on a cane just before it escapes. We bring it down: http://teamliquid.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=9843634

While this cane is going down, a random EM SFI warps in 80km from the belt and the rest of us. I burn 80km and get a point on it (lol). It dies. http://teamliquid.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=9843632

An EM cane had also warped in and started burning at us to try and save the SFI (somehow, I think). It died. Quickly. http://teamliquid.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=9843635

A myrm from the initial corp we were fighting had randomly arrived on the belt at 0 again. At this point our two brand new rifter pilots had finally figured out how to join our fleet and arrive in the fight and one of them managed to land a scram on the myrm. http://teamliquid.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=9843636

Ava Starfire > Now, the rifter is just awesome
Ava Starfire > lol
Firebolt145 > RIFTER POWAR

Oh and it turned out shtang lord had managed to whore on every single one of the fight's kills (including kwark, which I'm happy for him for).

Ewwww I had to look at a shield myrm, should post warning.

Also what exactly is the point of an SFI? I dont understand that fit or really the use of that ship at all.
