Callente Riveara Gallente Raddick Explorations Executive Outcomes	Posted - 2007.07.06 13:19:00 - [1] I can fly BC's now, but I cant particularly afford one. Ive got 12 days left till Im offically off probation in my corp (just joined) at which time they can offer me a Corp insured Myrmi. Can I rat in 0.0 with just a Thorax? If so, what T2 Items are a necessity? I just hit 2.6mil SP last night.
Vasiliyan Federation Fleet Endless Horizon	Posted - 2007.07.06 13:30:00 - [2] T2 armor rep is most important, but otherwise (depending on area) you should be able to do it all with T1 if you get in under their guns and use blasters.

However I cant use the T2 armor repper yet. Is there any way around that or am I screwed without it?
Eleana Tomelac Gallente Defcon One Phalanx Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.06 13:37:00 - [4] I've been killing serpentis in syndicate with a thorax, brutix, vexor, enyo, all that works fine. You just need not too bad gunnery skills and don't forget to use the right drones. You should be able to rat correctly against NPCs with low resistances in kin and therm resistances, you could have a hard time if it's angels because of the explosive damage they deal. Ask more to your corpmates about the rats you're going to fight. -- Pocket drone carriers (tm) enthousiast ! The Vexor Navy Issue is much more fun than the Myrmidon !
Callente Riveara Gallente Raddick Explorations Executive Outcomes	Posted - 2007.07.06 13:46:00 - [5] the rats in my space are sansha. I can only use Hammerhead I (or any other equivalent drone) currently. Controlled Bursts / Rank 2 / SP: 1 of 500 Gunnery / Rank 1 / SP: 45255 of 256000 Medium Hybrid Turret / Rank 3 / SP: 24000 of 135765 Motion Prediction / Rank 2 / SP: 2 of 500 Rapid Firing / Rank 2 / SP: 2829 of 16000 Sharpshooter / Rank 2 / SP: 500 of 2829 Small Energy Turret / Rank 1 / SP: 45255 of 256000 Small Hybrid Turret / Rank 1 / SP: 45255 of 256000 Small Projectile Turret / Rank 1 / SP: 45255 of 256000 Surgical Strike / Rank 4 / SP: 1 of 1000 Weapon Upgrades / Rank 2 / SP: 500 of 2829 There are my gunnery skills (Bought Surgical Strike, Controlled Bursts, and Motion perdiction last night)
Eleana Tomelac Gallente Defcon One Phalanx Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.06 14:28:00 - [6] Sansha isn't the best to fight with a gallente cruiser, you will tank them correctly for a cruiser considering the base armor resistances, but the kinetic damage of blasters will be much reduced. You should use infiltrator or hammerhead drones and see what works the best. If you already planned training amarr or minmatar cruiser to 4, do it, I suggest an omen or maller, some pulse lasers should really hurt the sansha, try the crystals with gamma or multifrequency, which do the most EM damage. If you go for minmatar, a rupture with 220mm autocannons and EMP or phased plasma ammo should work. When you get up to the myrmidon, use praetors, and you can fit autocannons with EMP/phased plasma or artys maybe. Be careful of the npc interceptors which may sramble you, maybe you will use 4 praetors and 5 acolytes in drone bay to get rid of those annoying frigs. -- Pocket drone carriers (tm) enthousiast !

Callente, our rats are Sansha so you're not going to do well in a Thorax. Make sure you're using the amarr drones that do EM damage (infiltrators?). Eph. I make sigs
Callente Riveara Gallente Raddick Explorations Executive Outcomes	Posted - 2007.07.06 15:14:00 - [9] Thanks :-) Im actually looking at Amarr and Caldari ships, and I like what im seeing. I think I will pick up the Frigate and Cruiser skills since Im in empire tonight. I can salvage now though, so I suppose I could just tag along and salvage some of the wrecks whenever we have a mining crew working to make some ISK if thats cool with everyone
Donathan Slade Kay Korporation Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2007.07.06 17:20:00 - [10] 1) get ALL gunnery based skills to rank 3 or 4 if you have the time. this is VERY important for Controlled Bursts because with lasers and hybrid weapons(you use hybrid) then you need that skill up to save on cap from the guns to use for armor repairing. 2) Just get a BS and be done with it. Especially in Angel space, if you go there, a Cruiser will do nothing, especially gallente as you are stuck with specific weapon damage with hybrid guns. 3) Don't fly a ship in 0.0 you arn't expecting to loose because I bet if your not careful you will be shot by a random person as you belt rat.

BluOrange Gallente Agony Unleashed Agony Empire	Posted - 2007.07.08 10:09:00 - [11] Vexor is good, if you need to change your damage type. Plus, it's a very nice ship for PvP. Recruitment FAQ
GPerson Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2007.07.08 11:22:00 - [12] Just my opinion here on the drones: Ignore the Infiltrators. Never touch them. At all. Sansha are also weak against thermal, and the thermal drones have a much higher damage modifier, and I believe that thermal is a much more useful damage type in PvP if someone manages to slip into your alliance's space. ~~~Sig Stuffs Here~~~ I highly recommend drunken posting. This sig has been unhighjacked since 2005.
Vyktor Abyss The Abyss Corporation	Posted - 2007.07.08 12:35:00 - [13] Try 2x EM hardeners and 2x thermal hardener and a Med rep, MWD and 2x ap recharge in mids. You 'should' be able to tank them....however you may be quite slow killing the big ships with those Gunnery skills. Good luck. - Ideas are my business...maybe thats why I'm always skint! Please read my ideas

At all.

Yep, what he said. Never use EM drones. Typical Sansha BS resist is 50% EM, 60% Therm, 70% Kin, 80% Expl. Against those resists, and in a Thorax with all applicable skills at 5, Hammers IIs will do 25.34 DPS each compared to 22.77 DPS each from Infiltrator IIs.
