Frigate racing
« on: January 26, 2009, 07:18:54 AM »
After some more skilling, I might try this once: http://www.eviloatmeal.com/race/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4  :D

I saw another advert today, about a race coming up oct 2nd. Never participated in the first race i posted...

http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1095410


Looking at ship setups and to me it seems the Executioner seems like a good choice (Amarr ship, so that sucks, but ok...).
With a recommended speed of 3500, I thought I'd aim at a top range speed with as much agility as i can get. With my current skills, this means 3672 m/s with an alligntime of 3.5s
All mods and rigs need to be meta 0 btw.

What do you think of this setup? Do you have any other suggestions?

Only t1 frigs allowed (so faction too)
I looked at the slasher, which is good too, but not as good as the executioner alas. But you were right, it hurts me that I am 'forced' to fly a slaver ship...

*Saf changed minds about what skill to train next again, seems I can fly interceptors in a week. NEED AGILITY*

yeah, condor outperforms slasher actually
the top 4 in builds i figured out with my current skills:

1) executioner: 3672/3.5
2) atron: 3642/3.6
3) condor: 3574/3.6
4) slasher: 3518/3.6

 :-[


The thing the Condor has going for it, is that it's got the lowest inertia modifier of all frigs: 2.62 and one of the best base speeds (404)
Although the base speed of the Slasher is higher (419), the inertia modifier is 2.83, so to make it both agile and fast, you have too much inertia to compensate for.
The Executioner is actually at the bottom of these two figures: it has a base speed of 404 and an inertia modifier of 2.89. However, this boat has 2 low slots, where both the Condor and the Slasher only have 1. -> Executioner wins.
The Atron also has 2 low slots, but has a slightly higher IM than the Executioner: 2.92. Enough to nullify the advantage of higher base speed (409). Atron comes in 2nd therefore.


Of all frig hulls, I think the Claw would rule all, with the best base speed (475), the lowest innertia modifier (3.09) and the most low slots (4).

You now have the possibility to register a racing team. Teams must consist of a roster of 3 or more players, one of which must be designated the team captain.

TEAMS FLY FOR FREE!

That's right, you heard me, racers in a team do not need to post any entry fees whatsoever, but are still eligible for all the prizes!

To register a team the team captain should send me (Julius Rigel) an evemail listing the members of the team.

Team members can be added or taken off at the request of the team captain.

I don't have optimal skills yet, as I don't have acceleration control at V, but at the time of the first race, I will have Evasive Maneuvering at V (and Naviagion too obviously).
