The Breacher - First Encounter

As i undocked my buffer Breacher "Hull Breach" i set my sights on bagging a kill.
My little Hull Breach warped around but to no luck dead quiet and any one around dock at the sight of its awesomenessity (yes it is that awesome i can make up words).

Latter in the day a few corp mates and i got a fleet together and tried to kill all humans. With me in my mighty Breacher i set to join them. The aim of the fleet was to engage anything as the Breacher will over power all and we will be saved, we were wrong.

We sat Butternut in top belt in his myrm and waited, while the rest of the fleet sat on the gate ready to pounce. I decide to go afk to get a drink and some hot cross buns, i come back to screams as the fleet has jumped in and have tackled a harbi and they need the assistance of the mighty one, our fleet of awesomenessity took down the harbi, then a myrm landed and the shit hit the fan. We started dropping like flies, first poor Butternut in his myrm and then i actually had a Hull Breach and went down. We then lost Ronans Zelot and Vons Rifter, the only lucky survivor was Kishin in his Crusader.

Keep a look out for the Hull Breach as it will be up and running again, i haven't finished with it yet!!

PS> I will be posting about the going ons of the fleet after this as it got awesomely crazy, (i just need the logs off my computer at home).

The Breacher - Fitting The Frame

So as i have planed it already and have the ships i am going to try out the Breacher "Mr The Frame". I will try out the Bellicose next when i have T2 projectiles ( 9 days left woot ) i have fits planed and am all ready to go just need the T2 skills.

So at first look the Breacher seems pretty harmless and very flimsy. It has a 10% to explosive missile damage and 5% bonus to em, kinetic and thermal, it is pretty obvious how i will fit it.
With the lack of power grid and low/mid slots it is hard to fit a sizable tank to it, this is what i have planned.

Fitting One - This will be the first fitting i will try out, close range, higher damage out put fit. It has 133 DPS and 3.8k EHP but is quite slow at 870m/s. The plan is to get in and try and hold range at max scram distance (around 9km). it will be interesting how this ship preforms as it stats are not to bad, we will see the week.

Fitting Two - This is pretty much the same as fitting one just an armor rep instead of a 200mm plate, i will also try out a duel rep like the Navitas with no prop mod and dual rep. There is a serious lack of armor hit points available, but it will have to be tested.

Fitting Three- As with rockets having to short range for a feasible kitting set up i have made this set up with light missiles. With 73 DPS it will be a bit slower and killing a target but going at 3100m/s it should be able to stay out of harms way. It has some cap issues so i have down graded the T2 disruptor to a meta 4 so save some cap and a T1 MWD, This will give me a bit over a minute worth of cap, i will be pulsing the MWD once at range to have enough cap to hold point.

So i have two fits to try wish me luck i may need lots of it with this ship.
I have a crop friend that want to join in as i test this ship so there may even be some duel Breacher kills.

PS> I have started a new poll so please vote for the next ship to be tested.

The Navitas - The Mighty One Has Fallen

I logged on last night with an aim to kill all, i failed.

I started off the afternoon fitting up my first Hawk. I got only two jumps out and to my chances tackling a Loki and Myrmidon. Lots of nuets, webs and warrior drones later..... my Hawk was no more.
I re-shipped into my Drake but when i went back the Loki and Myrmidon were gone. I warped to a station and was meet by a Brutix who engaged me i heated my Defence and took to it. He had me at half shields i had him at half armor, he was repping my damage but i was breaking him, he hit low structure as i hit armor. The mighty Brutix repaired a chunk of armour and my poor drake went down. Soo close! would have won if i had the range from the start, but i was scrammed and webbed.

So after some of my better ships failed me i thought how can my mighty Navitas loose. I undocked and there was a Ishkur (it can only go well from here), I can do this i thought locked him up, launched my drone heated everything and.............He docks! What is this!! after a bit of station games, him docking then me docking etc we bumbed horns.
We Locked each other up i launched my drone he launched his five, i heated my guns and reppers and set to work. Boom, direct hit i may win this!! then clack his blasters fire along with his drones. So now there i am sitting in a pod how did i loose such a fight??

A moments silence for the fallen.

What have i learned from flying the Navitas so far. Well the main thing is don't engage a Ishkur or anything with drones........ or guns.
It was a blast flying the Navitas, a lot of laughs had, so many laughs i think i grew a six pack and i even fell off my chair a few times.

For my next ship i want you to decide. (as always)
I have put all the suggestions i have got so far into a poll, you will see it in the side bar so get voting!!

Thanks

The Navitas - First Blood

The mighty Navitas she has drawn her first blood!!

I logged on last night for a quick spin in my new duel rep Navitas. I undocked her and saw her in the sun light for the first time and well, burst into a fit of laughter. I left Lisbatanne and headed straight to Old Man Star to find a fight, as i landed in my safe 200km from top belt i was meet by a Loki who was 100km off me. Deciding a Loki was a bit more than i can chew i headed back towards Lisbatanne.

Still with no viable targets i offer a 1v1 in local to a Rifter pilot that was flying around earlier, he rejected it saying i was lieing and would fly something that would over power his poor Rifter.

So taking my chances i fly my poor Navitas one jump through high sec into Hulmate. There were three people in local so i warped to the station to see where they are. And found them i did a Cynabal and Jaguar camping the station, so i did what all little girls do and ran with my tail between my legs.

All of a sudden word came of a ratting Caracal in Hevrice. As i make my way to Hevrice a corp friend used his alt and scanned down the Caracal. He gave me a warp in on the notorious figate killer. I land 49km off the target i set my little Navitas to max speed all 330m/s needless to say it was a SLOW approach but he stayed still. I got within point range and started blasting rounds of EMP out of my two 200mm auto cannons and my whole drone started to orbit, buzzing around.
BOOM he hits me and my shields evaporate with everything heated i start to rep the damage but with only 2 bars of cap it is struggling. He starts to enter armor as i struggle to hold the damage off.
With all my modules at the brink of burning out he enters structure and pops.

THE MIGHTY NAVITAS DREW HER FIRST BLOOD!!

I pointed the pod and tried to ransom the pilot for a joke or a riddle but all i got was Fuck you pirate bitch!! in Russian, so squish went his gooey pod.

With GCC and near burnt out modules i decided to try my luck on a ratting destroyer who warps off, aww so i dock her for the night.

She is a fun ship to fly very weak but effective. I will be logging back on to night to see what else i can snag with the all mighty one.

The Navitas - Fitting The Mighty Beast

The mighty or not so mighty Navitas.

This is the ship i am going to start off with, thanks to Laedy and yes it is very cruel but i am willing to try any ship that gets suggested!!

Ok so my first impression was "what a useless ship" no combat bonuses only cargo and mining, to make matters worse it only has two high, mid and low slots each!! So i started with my EFT escapades.

Fit attempt one - As commented by Randunip saying duel rep navis preform well i set my sights on one of these. First impression was good, the 5% bonus to the cargo capacity will be really good to fit all the cap boosters i plan to consume. The problem is once i fit a cap booster and point i have no prop mod this means i can only go 332m/s. Gun wise i have fitted auto cannons due to there low fitting requirements, the range they have over blasters and the fact they use no cap which will be vital to the ships survival.

Fit attempt two - This one is a armor buffer fit, it will give me 2.8k EHP i could have it to 3.2k by adding another trimark rig but i would be alot slower, so i added a projectile burst rig to give me that little more dps. The plan with this ship is to get under a ships guns before i die or brawl it out with a more superior frigate and most likely die.

Fit attempt three - Well i have to give it a go. This fit will orbit at 15km out side of heated web range and SLOWLY work through an opponent. The problem i have been having is that the cap is so small it can not handle the MWD or the point running let alone the guns, i have tried to compensate this with the semi conducter rigs but will still have alot of problems, also i have had problems with the EHP, the ship only have 831 that only means one shot will kill it. All the same i will give it ago.

I will try these three fits and hopfully get atleast one win, and please post comments on how i can fit them better if at all.

Hope to see you out there tonight in lisba i will wave from my doomed Navitas o/.

Mitch

PS. Please comment on how i can possibly improve these ships and more ship suggestions, Thanks

It is up to YOU!!!

I have had an idea to make more of an  "interactive"  blog!! it is to have you decide what ships i should fly!!

The way it works is that you suggest a ship and i will try to get kills in it or die trying and i will post the results win or loose and the fits i came up with.

The rules are that the suggested ship must be a T1 ship up to battle ship and T2 frigs but must NOT be faction ship.
If there are a few suggestions to choose from i will put up a poll and get you guys/girls to vote for one.

Ships i can fly:
All frigs T1 and T2 (including noob ships)
All destroyers, cruisers and battle cruisers.
Gal/cald battle ships,

So please comment which ship and i will give it ago.

Mitch

PS> if there are no comments i will just work my way through the list of ships starting with figs and ending in bs, but comments will be more fun!!

Life

Well i havnt been posting as of late due to RL issues good and bad, but to keep all up to date with the happenings.

RL wise
I just got a new car YAY but 3 weeks later the gear box shat itself..... sad face, so it will be and extra 2000 dollars + to fix. Went out for a friends birthday last friday night (her 18th) got back from the pub/club/strip clubs on sunday night!! (was funny watching her slaping the chick stripers asses)

Game Wise
I have joined the tuskers and have gone on a few raom with then and they are an awesome bunch of guys, got my first T3 kill, Linky it was a fail hybrid PVP, PVE, Stealth ship. I also moved all my stuff from helg back up to Lisba.

Now i have all my ships back and can get back into the full swing of things. That means i will get out my selection of ships and start anoying the locals!!
