Don’t Go First
Freaking a, I’ve had one of the worst weekend this time.
2 people who I was doing missions lost their good ship and I had to “help” them out by sending them money. Cheeses, I’m just down right broke now. Missions are not fun when the PUG groups you join are complete idiots and expect you to pay them for their mistakes.
Working with corp members are way better, but we just didn’t have that much on for a long time this weekend.
Thank goodness only 2 people lost their ships were jerks. The others were actually nice and did work for the fleet. I gladly paid them some remebersment. Those 2 other people didn’t receive any money for their own dumb actions.
Some people ask for help and hints, like how to setup a ship. Others believe what they have is the best and unbreakable, well I’m sorry, but it blew up, kabloomy, that “unbrakable” ship of yours just broke.
Setup on that ship:
- Megathron
- 3 200mm rails
- 3 250mm rails
- 2 Drone enhancements
- 2 Adaptive nano plating
- 1 T2 damage control
- I was like, um, why don’t use larger guns? “Because my gun skills aren’t high enough”
- Then why are you flying a Mega, get a Domi instead.
- “Well, I like the Mega better, it’s “unbreakable”.”
- Ok then, you sure you can tank it?
- “Yes”
*Pop*
People, listen to other’s advice and suggestions. Then be cocky if you really can put the money where the mouth is.
So, not a mission done in 2 days. Everyone has failed me. The pilots that i flew with either couldn’t communicate properly, setup their ships good, or follow the fleet captain.
It seems like it would take 4 freaking pilots to do this mission. Personally, I don’t know what to do. First though came to mind, shoot myself. Secondly, punch something. Third, go on a suicide run and kill some people.
I currently have some anger build inside of me. But any suggestions will be welcome…unless your the person who setup their Megathron with drones and cruiser size rails.

What ship do you fly for missions? It sounds like your Caldari, if you fly a Raven I can help you with a setup that will allow you to solo level four missions. You will not need to find others to do them.
Well, I fly a Raven or a Rokh.
What setup are you suggesting? I usually have this setup:
* 6 Cruise Missile Launcher
* 1 Heavy Nosferatu
* 1 Drone Link Augmentor
* 1 X-Large Shield Booster
* 2 Shield Hardener
* 1 Cap Recharger
* 2 Shield Boost Amplifier
* 2 Ballistic Control System
* 3 Capacitor Flux Coil
* 3 Capacitor Control Circuit
* 7 Hammerhead Drones
i’d recommend pulsing the booster so as not to run out of cap so quickly.
Looks like a solid setup. I usually run 2 heavy nos to keep cap up, and pulse my X-L booster. I also run 3 hardeners and no cap rechargers or flux coils (don’t flux coils affect shield recharge or something?). In the lows I usually have 3 BCUs, a DCU, and maybe a PDU. And of course 3 cap rigs, 5 Hammerhead II and 5 Hobgoblin II. I can solo L4 missions fairly easily, unless it’s Worlds Collide…

Use the T1 versions of lows/mids if you don’t have the skills. Use Limos/Malkuth if you can’t afford the Arbies. Pulse the X-Large Shield when you need it so not to run out of cap. Change out the hardeners depending on enemy damage type. Same with missile types. I also use Hammerhead/Hobgoblin drones but micromanage them as not to pull aggro. Always align to planet/moon/etc when you first warp in. I can run all lvl 4′s and rarely have to warp out. There is one mission that has a 2.5m boss at the end that keeps 30 distance and boosts his shield 1000 every 15? or so seconds. I replace one hardener with a 100mn afterburner to get up on him! Hope this helps.
By the way, up above was for a standard Raven. :)
Alright, thanks for the input.
As on the flux coils, they just lower the maximum amount of capacitor, not the boost amount. It’s the relays that do that ;)
Yes, pulsing the booster helps a lot, that’s what most people should know how to do!
