Please Read before posting:
Im showing you what ships can do when the time is right. You need to put these setups in yourself and play with them. This is why they are showed with overload + boosters.
A lot of personal preference on setups, minor though they are, the odd module(s) change for each setup would be tailored your play style and situation, please keep that in mind when posting.
The setups posted are good solid foundations from which to build from.
I cant post setups for all ships, all tactics, all styles of play, would be here all week else. Just take it with a pinch of salt and try to understand what im trying to do.
As ever, make these setups your own and play with them. Im here to try and help you.
Finally mandatory / shameless video promotion because it does showcase setups shown below and tactics used, this is Part 1 of 4 uploaded lovingly to YouTube. 2, 3 and 4 will be linked in the side.

Looks good, but I'm missing the shield/gank Brutix. I rather like the shield Myrm setup altough I'm questioning your istabs. I know why you fit them instead of nanos but they have a downside of their own and speed is always useful.
On the tripple rep myrm; I have a hybrid version of that with double rep and a 1600 plate, while that may sound odd as if you're a not focussed on your tactics, I've found it to work rather well. It's easier on the cap and In most circustances (unless you start tanking silly stuff with Exile) it works just fine.

Originally by: Kazacy Yeah domi fit it's really good; personally i used your fit from 2007 summer and today it's still viable.
The fit was modified from my Tempest fit in Late 06' early 07' when Nos were still overpowered and Nos Domi's were frequent. The second injector on the Tempest allowed me uninterrupted active tanking so in effect killing alot of Dominix.
After Rigs were introduced, the Dominix could be retro fitted using the same concept only using more cap with lower cycle times on the Armour reps to increase the tank. It is till this day probably the most successful Battleship fit i have flown and is still completely unchanged for over 3 years.

Im intrested in the tri/rep mrym! how long can it last with all repping mods active? Have you been in a number of situations that has pushed it to that point? I have been trying to come up with ways to counter that fit with a cane. Its pretty obvious that capping it right away is a no go! Which makes out lasting it my only option.

The engagements ive had with it have been either me overpowering or being blobbed so far, however...
I sent this setup to Violator / Endless Subversion several months ago and they make a good video showcasing better than i have currently link is here

I think your "All level V" character has some hardwireings since it differs from mine (managed to identify at least PG2 on thorax fit and some DPS figures vary). Anyway, thanks for rest of the fits of Kessah series

Originally by: Xikorita can you post what drones do you use in those fits? It can be on the topic as well ;)
With ships that have a bandwidth of 125m3 i will use either:
5x Orges II or 5x Berserkers II
Or in some case its safer to use, 4x of the aforementioned exchanging one Heavy drone for 5x lights for offensive damage on hostile frigates.
With ships that have a bandwidth of 75m3 i will use either:
2x Orges II 2x Hammerheads II 1x Hobgoblin II
or
2x Berserkers II 2x Valkyries II 1x Warrior II
or a combination of the two, with ships that have 50m3 i will use:
5x Hammerhead II or 5x Valkyries II - anything else are Hobgoblins or Warriors.
I tend to stick to these drones for 3 reasons:
1) Most armour tanked ships in eve have Explosive as their weakest resistance. 2) Gallente drones have the largest damage multiplier and although thermal is averagely tanked on ships it still hits hard and covers shield tankers better than Matar drones. 3) I have both race drone specialisation to level 5.
The 2,2,1 combination on 75m3 bandwidth ships, is also more damaging that 3x heavies.
Hope this helps.

All the "yeah, but..." and "this is MY fitting" -guys aside, you, kessah, deliver some very impressive results, and present it neatly packaged - with clickys and even videos to boot.
T2 mods only, solo pvp, insurable ships....truly inspiring, and what Eve should be about.
Thanks man.

You and others like you are why i do this. Because its what EVE should be about, helping people to clip the huge Eve learning curve as much as possible and to truly experience the best the game has to offer.
Thankyou, it provides me with the drive to help as much as i can.

Edited by: Flying ZombieJesus on 07/12/2009 15:25:10 Nice fits - I like the domi, but question the survivability in even a small gang if its primaried. I guess I'll have to give that one a try for myself, right?
I run both the dual rep ishtar & thorax fits already, though I run without guns on my ishtar... maybe I'll slap some small rails to take out drones.
Nice fit on the thorax - I did something almost identical, except I yielded to an 800mm plate instead... yours is quite the superior ship, so I will be refitting mine ;)

Here is my YouTube channel, it has a heavy amount of video footage on that Dominix fit, so you will be able to gauge its survivability by example. I really hope that it can help you.

This may fall into the Realm of a really stupid question, but what exactly are you doing with your cargo hold during those videos?

Its never a stupid question chief if you dont know it. We were all new to this game once, so dont worry about that.
I think you talking about the medium secure cargo container within my main ships cargo, if im correct in thinking? You'll need to be alittle more specific if its not
Its a sort of bug that CCP have reported to know about, but dont wish to change it. It basically increases your cargo capacity by a small but advantageous amount.
By doing this i am able to hold an extra two cap 800 charges, which may not sound alot, it really does help alot when using an active tank.

Ah savage, i must totally start using that myself, never thought of doing it before.
I just totally got confused by the dual cargo hold screens.
Thanks for the info and some pretty good fits i must say i think i'll be making a few changes to some of my ships.

The last couple of months, I haven't been to happy with Gallente Boats. Looking at your fittings, the lachesis one for example, makes me think I definitely need to look into it again. Some of those fittings are approaches I haven't even thought of yet, can't wait to go for it.

Im looking at your dual rep dual injector fit domi, and i as wondering how you would change your fit for a navy domi. There's more cpu and powergrid to play with plus more base hp and an extra mid slot, thoughts?

Id probably just add a ECCM + a Spur implant set. May or may not drop a single med neutron and add an improved cloak, not sure though.

It works for me, however it depends on your experience. Alot of players prefer the plate up and stick neuts or Large blasters on. Doesnt work for me, but others have made bold attempts at making its secondary bonus work for them.
For solo, for me, i prefer to hold the hardest active tank possible, dps comes second. Its worked for me since 2005 so i cant help but feel im doing something right.

I personally have found that I dont really enjoy flying a ship unless I am really happy with the setup, but your dual rep injected Domi has really reignited my passion for this ship. I fitted 2 out in Jita with standard exile boosters in em, the first one got a buttload of kills. This ship can't be underestimated as a bait ship, it lasts sooo long that your fleet starts wiping out their dps before they realise that your tank is gonna take a lot to break.
The first one I fitted ended up dying solo vs 3 BS, 2 BC a HIC and a HAC. I took the two BC with me before I went down, AND, that was with both the armor hp penalty and the capacitor capacity penalty on the drugs. Without those penalties I would have taken the hac with me too.
Second one died without any kills to a blob, and some fail overheating on my part I was trying to overeat both reppers misclicked and turned them both off the time it took to get them back on killed me.
Oh yeah, I tanked a thanatos and a domi outside a station till I ran out of boosters too. Deadly fits, major props.

Enjoyed reading that.
Never had to change it, not in nearly 4 years. Although im considering dropping a heavy neutron blaster for a improved cloaking device for the MWD+Cloak trick to escape blobs easier.

Lachesis *Vagabond killer, worth investing in 30million isk faction scram*
Pretty Good Guide, However I have to disagree with this Fit for Vagabond killing (even with a longer Range Scram) Now with x2 Te's A vagabond can get 40km Falloff, with barrage, and an easy 26km Falloff with Emp Ammo.
x5 220 x1 whatever
X2 LSE x1 MWD x1 WD 24k
x2 Gyro x2 TE X1 Nano
x2 Shield Extender
x5 Drones.
The vaga will Out dps the Recon, You could argue a fleet could kill the Vaga. However I did Read before Posting, and i did read 'Solo' . Solo, this will not Kill a Vagabond, it will Die, or the Vaga will run/ Or the Recon will run. But you'll need alot of Damage to kill the Vaga, and the closer you get the more damage you take from the vaga.
I could be wrong, So im open to a Response, But i'm pretty sure about that, However i'll Post a fit that will kill a vaga solo, and most ships that the Lachesis should be able of soloing.

Most vagabonds have a very weak Kinetic hole & you will kindly take advantage of. He will go down before you, overload your shield hardener, switch to kinetic drones if you are worried further.
You need the scram, its just vital, you'll be chasing your tail until he kills you else. You can buy faction scrams for under 40m with ranges that go out to nearly 30km, i promise you the Vagabond either wont engage or you will get him from him being too greedy or messing up.
Never expect to always get a kill, if the vaga is smart and your hanging around trying to catch him while he is melting your shield, your going to die. Dont let the vagabond get the advantage. Rest is up to you 
Trust me on this one :)

You need the scram, its just vital, you'll be chasing your tail until he kills you else. You can buy faction scrams for under 40m with ranges that go out to nearly 30km, i promise you the Vagabond either wont engage or you will get him from him being too greedy or messing up.
Never expect to always get a kill, if the vaga is smart and your hanging around trying to catch him while he is melting your shield, your going to die. Dont let the vagabond get the advantage. Rest is up to you 
Trust me on this one :)

While I don't have that much experience, and what I do have is on the Arazu.
However on fits I've used (admittedly to limited success) I find plateing the ship and fitting some damps works well as it forces at least the more inexperienced Vaga pilots to come within range of the scram.
Anyway Love what you've doen Kessah, and am certainly going to look firther into some of these fittings. =) ---

The Arazu is quite different that the Lachesis. You can solo in it, it is possible and you are right to plate it up and utilize its dampener bonus. It lack of dps however you might struggle to kill people from range.
The best usage i got from the Arazu was when i was contracted to kill some Romanian players in Venal. I used the Arazu, two friends of mine were in a Rook and an Ishtar all fitted with Cloaks and basically waited out the local isk farmers until they grew comfortable of our presence.
The Arazu plays a very unique and key role in small gang pvp and i highly suggest the tactic.
The Lachesis however was designed, for me at least, to kill Vagabonds specifically as there are so many of them used in PVP, especially out in 0.0 you probably wont need wait long before coming across one.
I would stay away from Zealots and Sacrilege's, but anything t2 Minmatar or anything with a flimsy, bodge shield buffer are fair game.
I also suggest dropping a blaster for a cloaking device for the times you need to escape blobs. Best thing about the Lachesis is that it is very cheap for a Recon and undervalued. Prove those greedy Vagabond pilots wrong

Pretty Good Guide, However I have to disagree with this Fit for Vagabond killing (even with a longer Range Scram) Now with x2 Te's A vagabond can get 40km Falloff, with barrage, and an easy 26km Falloff with Emp Ammo.
x5 220 x1 whatever
X2 LSE x1 MWD x1 WD 24k
x2 Gyro x2 TE X1 Nano
x2 Shield Extender
x5 Drones.
The vaga will Out dps the Recon, You could argue a fleet could kill the Vaga. However I did Read before Posting, and i did read 'Solo' . Solo, this will not Kill a Vagabond, it will Die, or the Vaga will run/ Or the Recon will run. But you'll need alot of Damage to kill the Vaga, and the closer you get the more damage you take from the vaga.

I would agree with you if there was a larger Buffer on the ship, but there's not, one more LSE and you'd have me just about Sold, I tested it on the test sever with my friend (near max skills in Caldari/Gall) 04 char (Now he might not fly by you but he tried it like your fit suggested) I lived to 40% shields, and the first go he was dead
second try he got me to 31% shields and he overloaded everything, and he died
and we tried it about 6 times with the same result.
Tried vs a few other Pilots who flew a little differently. and i beat each one other than one guy who tanked my damage type =/
We tested with one extra LSE on the lach and Then (with vaga with no Dcu) The vaga wins/Loses i died a few times as did he
Though with the dcu on the vaga, it once again always killed the Lach.
Also, I should add, Most of those fights the lach was at range a bit, When the lack got right up in the Vaga's face, The vaga Melted it everytime. (note Ions were used with Extra LSE fit. or a 5% pg Implant. - Emperor

Triple rep hype.... hahahahha sounds crazy, err wait. ITS AWESOME
kessah and i have talked about it b4, though sometimes i have downgraded the mwd to an AB for even better cap stability... but thats only for lowsec and when you know you can force the enemy to be under scram range or you can land on them at scram range
aka pretend to slowboat back to the gate and let them try to "bump" you
also shamless triple rep hype in action -> http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1236383 ---- People Say Im paranoid because I have a gun, I say I dont have to be paranoid because I have a gun.

Kessah, two questions about your dual-rep Domi fit:
1. What do you think about swapping neutron blasters for 425mm AC's? EFT says it will lose about 11 dps per gun, but only up to six-something km.
2. Do you think it's viable to swap one turret for a Heavy Neut and downgrade one cap-injector to a medium?
Thanks

Hi. Great thread, its been loads of help to me.
I am just wondering though how you have 1138 PG on your Thorax? I have been trying to fit the setup yet I keep coming one powergrid short and I have the relevant skills to V (I think) and the PG rig.

My own experience with this setup tells me that 4 more 800's are more valuable to me than a Heavy Neut, but again that is in certain circumstances.
You cant trade the guns if you wish but its quite a DPS drop, i pull off 766 dps currently and i have had a hard time busting 'some' tanks. Its entirely up to you i dont see a massive issue though.
Reasoning for Blasters ofc is the damage and the fact that with a scram and web im only really able to keep things pinned with the 9-12km range anyways, so ideal for blasters. Drones can take care of the rest.

Edited by: Psiri on 20/04/2010 13:36:30 Have to say that I hate the Thorax fit, not only is it ridiculously expensive due to the trimarks but really, the 1600mm plate gimps its speed and only allows electrons to be used.
DPS isn't very impressive at all seeing how that's 600 DPS with heat and Hammerhead drones.
An LSE setup may not have a web but it's far better than this 1600mm fit IMO. It only costs around 10m per pop thanks to cheap resistance rigs and ECM-drones (its only prayer against neuts), deals 470DPS WITHOUT heat or drones and has considerably better range due to fitting ions and a TE.
If you absolutely can't do without the web then just skip a plate altogether IMO and go all out gank.

How about putting some AC's on the shield myrm?. 220's or something along those lines [yes yes gallente weapons for gallente fitting thread but. . . since the myrm doesn't get a weapon bonus and AC's are capless, it could be ninja added]. . At least that's how i do it.

Some fits that have been tried and proven for some years now.
ishtar for 0.0 roaming. cap rigs to let the rep run a bit. it relies on buffer over rep, but the med rep can be pulsed. Midslots are killer, nothing will get away. cycle off the disruptor / web that you do not need for more cap. Use highslots as small stuff repellent. Tried and tested in 0.0 for over 2 years.
Fit this with an ab, for example if you are not travelling but can refit. with ab this is real funny, low sig, high speed, high buffer, all the midslots to dictate range, enjoy.

Was missing the astarte. It really is still good enough tbh. Astarte with enough tank (449dps) to gank. You tank just enough to gank something. DCU is essential as you might be armor tanking while dipping into structure . Use vs non speedy bc or BS. 1vs1. below needs advanced weapon upgrades 5. Does nearly 800dps. tank is cap stable as long as mwd is off. fitting more magstabs makes it severely less tank vs more cap usage and not much more gank. Not much that can hold your dps + kill your tank. Only thing to look out for is domi's with neuts.
