Shield rigging to IV helps out on fitting most notably when you fly scimitars and heavy neut curses off the top of my head. I don't recall any other uber tight fit that needs it (to spare you the pg implant), but otherwise its not too important. Not that horrible, but there should be other options that are more worth your training time. IMO.

The year is ending, and our famously risk-averse neighbors QuietDOTStorm submitted their entry for "2011's Worst Black Ops Drop" with this gem:

http://spawningpool.killmail.org/?a=kill_related&kll_id=11592793

That is 8. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 black ops BS, with 3 jamming ships (Widow + 2 falcon), Rapier, Arazu, Manticore, against 3 BCs + Rifter squadron.

They easily had enough jamming power to remove all the BCs from the fight. How they lost almost all their recons for 2 BCs and t1 fit rifters boggles the rational mind.

Amazing job, SP + Chessur.

But he had an invuln field and a single extender rig! How could a single drake drop him in 20 seconds? I don't understand.

So the Spawning Pool night started with us trying to kill a cloaky sabre. I shot it into half structure as it jumped out, and the rifters failed to decloak it on the other side so it got out. Then we go to EC-, where a lone hyperion is sitting off gate. We get a rifter to jump in and get it aggressed, and then proceeded to blob it http://spawningpool.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=11592628. Somehow we outdpsed its 2 reps, but it didnt even seem to be repping when we shot it.

From there we headed to cr-, where there were 8 local and they were all watching Walking Dead, so bleh. We continued on to c4c, but on the way we found a trolly Quiet Storm arazu trying to bait us.

Obvious hot drop is obvious.

We let it drop us, killed the arazu, and warped away. Chris managed to get caught even though he was only longpointed by a cyno arazu :|. We then warped back in because the only dangerous thing was the rapier. Chessur takes down the Rapier, then we switch to 1 of the 2 falcons. The 2 falcons and widow somehow fail to jam me and i bring that falcon down easily. The manticore is next up, and at that point I got damped. Thinking that I needed to get in there and do damage because it was only me and chessur in a drake for heavy dps, I burned closer than 30k to lock and then got popped because I got TPed all over and the Blops could actually hit me. We finish off the manti, and then we have to leave because there is a widow and falcon still left and chessur is the only heavy dps.

Honestly with 2 falcons and a widow we shouldn't have been able to target anything with our 3 bcs, but quiet storm is known to be good like that, so yeah. Winning the isk war.

unbelievably, yes (not in local, but in their public channel -- it warms my heart to see a 9-day-old Spawning pool pilot talking shit to these QS people, by the way -- they deserve every bit of it)

Michael, message this guy Vimsy Vortis.
Tell him you saw his post here https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=24721&p=2 and want to offer us as a merc corp for an EC- blockade. Feel free to link our battle reports from the area, make them GM- + adjacent for more impressiveness if needed.
Free isk imo.

edit: im dumb and can't read

edit #2: point still stands, I'm pty sure that EC- blockade offer is a troll...considering that a goon posted it. Vimsy doesn't look like he's offering a contract.
