A Mule in EvE

Archive for the ‘Uncategorized’ Category

I get asked questions quite frequently in both Corporation and other chat channels, so I thought I’d share my answers to the most common ones I get.

What’s the best PvP ship?

A: There is no one best ship, there are some great Frigates, Cruisers and Battleships.

Frigates : Minmatar Rifter or the Amarr Punisher.

Cruisers: Amarr Omen, Minmatar Rupture, Gallente Thorax & Vexor

Battleships: Amar Apocalypse, Gallente Megathron, Caldari Rokh and the Minmatar Tempest

How do I make money in 0.0?

A: Several ways and use them all to make decent money.

1) Sell stuff at decent costs to the Alliance Pilots, whether it be Ammo, Ships, Minerals, whatever, fully fitted ship contracts are great, only add 15% markup for market hubs(Jita, Rens, Tash Murkon ) or the customers will not pay. Supply jump fuel, or POS fuel. Look for a hole and fill it. Runs Anomalies, with friends to clear them faster.

How can I get better at PvP and not lose my ship?

A: You cannot get good at PvP without loss. You can study opponents, you can plot ways out of trouble, you can even practice. The best lessons come with loss, get used to it.

I have no money so how do I PvP?

A: frigates cost almost nothing, cruisers are also low priced, insure your big ships. Start small in the frigates until you know how to tackle a guy without being immediately blown away. When you get enough experience learn the weapons systems in your cruisers, and fly them until you feel confident and are capable of fielding T2 Weapons. Start small and move up in ships gradually so that you develop a cushion of money.

I have all T2 Mods in my ship but cannot seem to do well, what am I doing wrong?

A: Not all T2 mods are the same. T2 Jammers provide zero benefit over the meta 4 versions of the T1 Jammers and they use more power. T2 Guns however reach farther and use LESS energy. T2 armor plates are equally ineffective at providing increased protection, the meta 4 T1′s are excellent.

The Abaddon challenge

Posted this three days ago but somehow disappeared from the blog.

I altered the setup per some comments from Wensley and others …BTW she runs GREAT!

My continuing effort is to learn new ships and weapon systems and races.  In my latest endeavor, I am currently dealing with the Amarr line of ships.  The latest ship is one I have yet to actually fly in combat: The Abaddon

I need some assistance with this ship, frankly I am not sure how to set her up for ratting  ( in a Haven or a Sanctum solo) Any advice you might give would be appreciated.

The Abaddon , a Bttleship in EvE online

Trying to determine the optimal setups certainly revolves around the Ship bonus:

• 5% to Large Energy Turret Damage
• 5% Bonus to Armor resistance per level

SO 25% to guns and 25% resistance to the ‘Tank’

I am toying around with a Ratting Setup that may consist of

[Abaddon, Level 4 Solo Fitting]

HIGH
8x Mega Pulse Laser II (Multifrequency L)
MID
4x Cap Recharger II
LOW
2x Capacitor Power Relay II
Damage Control II
Large Armor Repairer II
2x Armor EM Hardener II
2x Armor Thermic Hardener II

RIGS
3 x Large Capacitor Control Circuit I

DRONES
5x Acolyte II
5X infiltrator II

[Statistics - manasi]

Effective HP: 97,883
Tank Ability: 583.28 DPS

Capacitor: Stable at 33.85%

~Multi Freq Crystals~
Volley Damage: 2,843.97
DPS: 508.79

~Conflag Crystals ~
Volley Damage: 3,762.00
DPS: 705.42

The Goal for this “project” is a high survivability ship + High DPS and Cap stable.

Some notes
..I can run just 7 guns which dramatically does improve the cap stability of the ship.
..I can fit any mod needed

Thanks in advance if you can provide some help.
