![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/NEENJ0Q.jpg) I'm sure I'm missing something and it's a horrible/inefficient fit, so I was hoping someone could critique it. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/O3czMf7.png) More damage, very slight (1k) hp loss, very slight loss of damage projection, and - most importantly - dual propulsion. Also, don't post fits for discussion with your personal skills n00b, post with all Vs! Also, hail has very limited use. If you are kind of new, as a general rule of thumb, don't shoot hail at anything unless the hull you are firing at is a size up from your weapons class (frigate guns shooting at cruisers, cruiser guns shooting at battleships, etc), and also has an explosive resist hole. | ||

I do like your fit better than mine, slight loss in EHP and damage projection past 30km (with barrage) for dual prop. Also, Pangell is basically all Vs so it makes no real difference! | ||

Basically to nano you need a mwd, a long point and (fitting dependent) an invuln. These modules are intensely cap heavy for a cruiser. 1 minute 7 seconds is not, nor will ever be, enough to do what you want. Ships like the cynabal can get around these issues by having infinite fitting and going for 3x LSE or dual prop (never an invuln) but the stabber doesn't have that luxury. You really need a small cap booster to do what you're trying which fucks your fit in other ways. Basically, no. The nice thing about the Stabber is that you can use Mindflood without any of the side effects really doing anything. | ||

The stabber functions well enough without a small cap booster, as long as you have trained your cap skills to 4. It requires good cap management for sure, but it is definitely quite functional/good. The omen and the caracal, on the other hand, really, really need that cap booster. | ||

Someone make a fit that isn't embarrassing. I've been playing around with RALM fits (essentially mirrors the caracal, but has 15k more EHP and about 66% of the damage projection range and a full flight of drones) , but haven't found one I liked. | ||

You would ideally put a Medium Shield Extender in one of your mids, with the 4th mid being something like a stasis webifier. You may need to train your fitting skills (Engineering V, Electronics V, Weapon Upgrades V, and Advanced Weapon Upgrades IV) up a bit but those skills are going to be useful on any ship you will ever fly. | ||

But I'd say it has more to do with how much money you have to burn. Naturally the correct answer is just to train Tech 2 asap anyway. | ||

And yes for many ships t2 ammo is a big deal. Fury missiles, scorch, barrage and null are all widely used. | ||

You can kite with a thrasher. Put an afterburner (best choice is 10mn imo) and a scram on, load barrage, and kill stuff from 7k. It's a bit of a bitch to fly with a 10mn afterburner (and harder to fit), but when you get the hang of it you can do some pretty silly things with a 10mn dessie.

It has a versatile slot layout, It does a lot of damage and you get to choose your damage types, and is still pretty agile while capable of fitting a decent tank. You can kill lots of things with that ship, you just have to know how to engage them. And vs things you can't kill, you need to know how to gtfo. It is effective in both solo and in small fleet operations. It is like the swiss army knife of dessies. You can kite with a thrasher.

[Dominix, Remote Rep Damage Amp] 3x Large Energy Transfer Array II Drone Link Augmentor I 2x Large Remote Armor Repair System II 2x Omnidirectional Tracking Link II 3x Cap Recharger II Armor Thermic Hardener II Armor EM Hardener II Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II 4x Drone Damage Amplifier II 3x Large Remote Repair Augmentor I 5x Garde II 5x Warrior II 5x Hobgoblin II 5x Hornet EC-300 5x Warden II 5x Hammerhead II I just started running this in null-sec forsaken hubs with two toons. One is a T1 sentry drone version. Warp in at 20km, drop gardes, set reps and energy xfer, and set one toon to guard the other, and literally go afk for 15-20 minutes. I have two monitors, I keep one account up and use openbroadcaster to give me a preview of the second account to make sure drones are firing and no reds show up. It's literally about 90% afk. I can salvage on another toon, but while watching tv or movies I prefer the more afk play. I know you can do a lot more with different setups but 1) this is retarded cheap, and 2) afk. 2x 13-14m ticks. ~75m/hour without salving. Should go up when the T1 toon gets to T2 and the T2 toon finishes Drone Interfacing V. Any tweeks on the build would be welcome. The original build had one of the rigs be the Sentry Damage rig, but I guess it was a fifth mod, stacking with the lows. | ||

Ya, when I noticed that the Rig was a fifth mod, adding about 7 dps, I dropped that. But like people said, the thing is way over tanked, and well over cap stable (Blood raider neutting...). PvE is boring, and I have a decent stack to bankroll on, so I don't know how often I'll use these, but its a fun setup I guess. Considering leaving null soon too, massive fleets and TiDi get boring. | ||

I was wondering because I'm trying to fit my own coercer (read: steal the one in that thread and slightly modify it) for solo buttoning. I.E. Was thinking of this, and if it would be not too stupid to switch the EM rig for another locus for maximum pew. + Show Spoiler + [Coercer, ohsnap] Damage Control II Heat Sink II Heat Sink II Medium Shield Extender II Limited 1MN Microwarpdrive I Dual Light Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Dual Light Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Dual Light Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Dual Light Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Dual Light Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Dual Light Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Dual Light Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Dual Light Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Small Energy Burst Aerator I Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I Small Energy Locus Coordinator I | ||

Maximizing the EHP of your ship is one of those "path of least effort" or "minimizing the gradient" things that are so common in life. A huge resist hole is an opportunity to provide a huge boost to EHP with minimal effort. Look at the Oracle fit again in pyfa with maxed siege links for your answer. /edit - To clarify, look at the Oracle fit with maxed siege links with and without an EM rig. /extra edit - Also I think dropping the heavily penalized Burst Aerator for a Metastasis Adjustor might be a better fit. ~6% less damage and 15% more tracking. | ||
