I just progressed from Cruisers to BC's, particularly the Drake. I have been flying missile ships predominately, Kestrels and Caracals. I'm having an issue with the long target locking time on the Drake, and I would like suggestions on how to reduce that time. What skills and/or modules should I be looking for?

This skill and one of these or these will do what you need, but by using them you sacrifice slots that could be used for your tank/damage mods, so the skill itself should do you fine.

Sensor Booster module and Signature Analysis skill will go a long way. Make sure you don't have modules fitted that shaft your targeting speed such as a cloak.

There's a mathematical formula for the amount of time required for one ship to lock on to another (see Chruker's site for the formula, as I don't know it). It's based on the sensor resolution of your ship (this is lower on large ships than on small ships) and the signature resolution of the target (this is higher on large ships than on small). To decrease lock time, you need higher sensor resolution or the target needs to be made larger. The second one can only happen by the target using something that increases its signature (like activating a microwarp drive) or by a third party using a target painter on it. The first can be increased by the earlier mentioned skills and modules. ______________________________________________________ Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? |

As an interesting note I recently discovered that the EvE Fitting Tool will show you your ship setup's lock time on a list of preset targets (drones, frigs, etc)

It will even let you check to see the lock time against any open fit. _________
