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/.

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

  1. It really is a terrible ship! I'm very impressed you're giving it a go. Your best hope is to find a noob ratter or mission runner in low sec, that has no drones and you can get under their guns. Hopefully there will be rats to help you break their tank. Good luck!

  2. Yeah, more power to ya man, using a Navitas for such an experiment. I'd have to use at the very least an incursus. More man than me :P
