I would hardly say battlecruiser skills are a dead end path, the actual ship skill you need wont take you very long at all, but the support skills will help you a lot for all the T2 caldari ships. I persoanly dont like 3 active hardners on a drake, main reason is because i cant fit 7 HML 2's with three active harders on second because your cap will gradulay go (but slowly) i use 2 passive rat specic and an invuln.

Also with those resistances you said, your going to need 4 active hardners.

I think my Drake setup was something like this:

High
7 x Heavy Missile Launcher II

Mid
3 x Large Shield Extender II
2 x Ballistic Deflection Field II
Heat Dissipation Field II

Low
2 x Power Diagnostic System II
Shield Power Relay II
Ballistic Control System II

Rigs
3 x Core Defence Field Purger I

That gives over 18,000 shields with a decent recharge. Those hardeners are adjusted for Guristas missions but you just change them depending on the rats you're tanking. If you can't use t2 launchers then just go with named t1, arbies ideally.

Cap lasts forever with those hardeners running.

I also had implants for various shield/missile bonuses, extra 3% RoF, 3% shields, etc etc.

That base setup earned me well over a billion doing level 4 missions which I used to equip a Nighthawk with pretty much faction everything before the LP store came in (DG Heavy launchers at 125 mil each, etc) but 4.3 second RoF on heavies on the Nighthawk is nice ;)

Think i will ease myself back into the game slowly, need some isks to insure my bigger ships before i go otu and use them, think my char was more a miner/drone spec player than a fighting player. Will see if i remeber hopw to mine this weekend and try to pop into the ocuk chat as well....

be nice please, im a noob again lol..

I can run 4 active hardeners constantly, never runs out of cap. I use Arby launchers atm, when I get the NH i'll be using CN launchers (lower CPU, faster RoF than T2), so not an issue.
 
You getting the CN equipment from the LP store? If so dont until after the patch, requirements are meant to be going down in terms of tags etc.

Just had a look on EFT:

Nighthawk with T2 heavy launchers, T1 kinetic missles, no damage mod: 250 DPS
Raven with T2 Cruise Launchers, T1 kinetic missles, no damage mod: 272 DPS

bear in mind that the nighthawk gets a bonus to kinetic missles, with other missles the nighthawk will do 200 DPS.

based on Max skills

You cant really go on these stats as it all depends on the rats your fighting. But the nighthawk does not do as much damage as a cruise raven.

A) heavy do more damage to smaller targets
B) nighthawk will take less dps (smaller target) and tank better (iirc)
C) IT LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER!

I wasn't saying the nighthawk was better, someone asked for the DPS stats. But you are right, you may not be taht much slower than a raven as you kill the frigs and cruiser so much quick in a nighthawk. But if i could fly the nighthawk id use it over the raven, i will be training for it somewhere down the line, why cant my astarte do missions:(

Oh and just to report i took my TQ fitted drake on SiSi and aggro'd a mission room longer than my overview, think there was 11BS rest BC/cruiser only 3 frigs. It tanked very nicly, thought she was gona break, held at 68% for 5 minutes, then constant at 28%. It was taking a while to kill the BS, but hell what a stress free way to run a Lv4 :)

Yea passive tanks are a definite plus, micro managing your cap on a raven can be annoying sometimes :( i suppose the speed increase makes it worth it though.
 
Hi all,

Head to www.oc-ps.co.uk, thats the forum of the OcUK Corp.
If you want to head to where they're based it's in Isikano: Spacelane Patrol Top station. It's in Caldari space.
Edit: and join the channel ocuk if you haven't already :)

Thanks :)

i've signed up to the website you gave me , waiting for auth :)
 
Right i've managed to get eve up and running now , i take it the oc-ps.co.uk - is a Caldari corp? so there for i should make a caldari char?

I still have old chars on my account , so if i make a new char can i send ISK to the new char?
 
I'd imagine the ceo has enough skills to handle any race in the corp. And remember you can train any ship on any race, my main is aldari and flys gallente and minmantar :)
 
Fair enough since ive not played for well over 2 years im going to start fresh anyways so would Caldari be a main factor to start with?

I still have old chars on my account , so if i make a new char can i send ISK to the new char?
 
You can have 3x characters on one paying account subscription, only one of these characters can train a skill at a time, but you can therefore stop training on your main and train another character.

As long as you are on a paying account, and not a trial account, you will have no restrictions on sending money, so double check you got the right name and look up your second character and transfer money to them.

Some of the sticky topics in this forum might help you decide how to make a new character.

The caldari Achura (sp?) have great atributes for starting a combat pilot if i remember.

You can logon to your old char and find your new one in people and places, then right click and give isk. You could also contract any of your old ships and stuff to your new char if you want too.

How do you manage to run 4 active hardners indefinetly with a passive tank? I have maxed cap skills and cant do it, i can run it for a decnt amount of time, but the cap does leak out, mayb i need some more shield skills i dont know, either that or you have some implants. Also iv just been comparing the drake and nighthawk, mayb im doing something wrong but im seeing the drake does more DPS, They both have the same peak shield recharge of 223 hp/s with the standard set-ups, however the nighthawk does have those nice base resist! If im correct im not going to bother with caldari cruiser 5. However the vulture on the other hand has a very nice passive tank, but its not very practicle with hybrids.

EDIT: The nighthawk does more DPS,the drake set-up was taking drones into the DPS.

The Trinity 2 engine will be deployed on the 5th december, all eve servers even the web server will be down during deployment (which will take the whole day). And after that you have a choice of using the old models or new models depending on your pc spec.
