EVE Online

Got my L4 NPC Raven skill plan training…

Planned it so I get the T2 fittings before the BS so I can use them to pimp my Ferox, get the skill required to fly the new Caldari Kali BC L2 and give me my shiny new Raven on my Birthday 😀 T2 Vespa Drones to follow Cruise misisles, after that will proabbly buff up missile skills a bit.

EDIT: Training plan modified on 25th November, see below @ other post for why…

It would make sense if you played the game and used EVEMon 😛 Alzir’s MSN is goosed so I posted mostly for his benefit and maybe for RecoilUK too hehe but also nice to know where each corp member is heading 🙂

Just an update: Got my Raven online!!!

Hi: 6x Arbalest Siege Launchers, 1x Tractor beam (L1 loot on L4 misisons FTW!!) and the last slot I can’t use yet but putting a Drone Link Augmentor in there when the skills have trained.

Med: 1x XLarge Shield Booster, 1x Target Painter, 3x Shield Hardeners (1 multi and 2 race specific), 1x Cap recharger II

Lo: 5x Power Diagnostic System II

I know really I should whack a BCS II in the lows but I’m hoping the extra cap/shield buffs from the extra PDS or 2 and training missile skills should balance things out a bit better. Maybe when I trained for Tech 2 XLarge booster I’ll drop in a BCU though 🙂

Off to my first L4 misison …. I’ll maybe have a win but a hard fight hehe. Chances are though I’ll just lose the ship I spent months training/scrimping and saving for 😛 My drone skills sort of suck so frigates will be giving me a hard time, but currently improving drone skills are at the top of my list 🙂

Wish me luck!!!

In addition 😛

Also blown 15-20 mill on a new ECM ship, learning from the mistakes we made the other week with the Blackbird. My ship will pretty much have fuck all damage capability, but it should be able to ECM and survive just fine.

My secret weapon is …. the noob frigate Griffin!!!

It will be able to lock on to ships faster than the BB could, be harder to lock onto and have anti-drone and anti-missile defences. To keep the cap flowing I put a buy order out for 1000 cap booster charges hehe – gonna need my cargo bay full of em 😛 Will only be of any use in a gang, but that’s all the ship would ever be good for anyway.

Hi: 2x Arbalest Rocket Launchers (Defender missiles @ 2.8 sec ROF!!), 1x Microsmartbomb (just need a lil bit more powergrid to use it but I’m trainign that skill anyway, antidrone wep)

Med: 1x Medium Shield Booster II, 1x Medium Electrochemical Capacitor Booster (with 2x 150 boosts loaded), 1x Hypnos Multispectral ECM (as strong as Tech II but uses less cap!!) and 1x Cetus ECM Shockwave (to break drone locks)

Lo: 1x Power Diagnostic System II

Done Bay (wooo!!): 1x Hornet for my sod all DPS 😀

EDIT @ 25th November: Saving from double post!

Well my first L4 mission didn’t really go as planned. As my luck would have it I got 1 of the hardest L4 misisons out there, so my raven was pretty shite basically. Fortunately I didn’t lose my raven and warped out in time, but ooh it was close – lost a small bit of armor which cost 16k to fix =/ I’ve since swapped 2/3 of the racial active hardeners for passives, the last hardener for a shield boost amp (to save on cap) and I’m training up their passive resist bonuses. I dropped a PDS II from lows and plonked in a named damage control in there – with it’s resists (especially for the hull) @ 2 capacitor per minute it’s more than worth it. I’ve also fitted a Heavy Nos to help keep my cap topped up, but bleh about 3 weeks of training before I can use my tech 2 shield booster/amplifier. I’m also swopping torpedos for cruise missiles, granted the torps did seriously kick some ass when they landed, but because of their low speed and their need for close range (bringing me closer TO the damage too…) my tank wasn’t up to it so I’m back training cruise missiles to get a bit of range between me and my adversaries. I’m also training some of the lower level missile skills for an allround improvement in missile performance. Due to no longer using torpedos I’ve unfitted my target painter and replaced it with an Inv Field, cap shouldn’t be as bad now I’m only running 1 active hardener instead of 3. Cash got tight so to get the new fittings for my new setup I had to strip fittings from ships I’m not using (caracal, my brand new ECM griffin =/) to pay for it all 😳 On the plus side that damned agent finally gave me an 80k LP implant offer, sold the lot for 106 mill and now I got 2 parts of my uber implant set: Crystal Alpha and a ZML1000 (5% faster missile velocity).

legit, get a fuckin life
