Rorqual
« on: March 21, 2010, 11:54:52 AM »
Well, my cargoqual will be leaving the cooker fairly soon so been thinking more about how to fit it.
It will be max cargo which sucks for the cap recharge (and makes the tank worse) but this is what I've been thinking about. Will fill the dronebay with drones ofc.

Looks nice :)

Not so sure about that cap recharger though, as it only gives 14 secs extra cap (~ 5%)
As alternatives you could think of:
- Cap Booster with 800s (will make your cap last 6m30s vs. 5m08s) and it's not that you dont have enough cargo space
- Another IF2 (40k extra ehp, 18 secs less cap)
- ECM Burst (For if ppl are silly enough not to bump you)

And now I look at it longer... Maybe a smartbomb?

Smartbombs I forgot about.
Capboosters would make the cargohold too small really, will be very hard pressed to haul one month of fuel in one go as it is.

Agree with another IF2 rather than  cap recharger. And drop one of the 500w Infectious and replace it with a large EMP smartbomb II or whatever else is your chosen SB poison.

Will get drones and such for it later, didn't have cash and my connection didn't work well enough yesterday.
Total cargo capacity: 156k m3 (cargohold+corp hangar)
EHP: 597k
Almost 4 min of cap with all the neuts, bombs and booster running, boosts 4609 dps (92 dps sustained hehe).

My goal, after I have a isk-buffer for pvp, will be to get 2-3xCN inv fields and 2x faction smartbombs (ammatar navy probably)

I'd go for the true Sansha emp smartbombs for choice. though i don't know the price differences .

Use the corp wallet to help fit it matey, part of your reason for getting it was to help the corp out, and I dont think anyone will object.

Seems there might be a boost to the Rorq in Tyrannis :)

The ganglink bonuses go from 5 to 10% which means the boost becomes about 73% to yield for a all V char :)

Not one I can use much of due to me using it as a posshithauler but when we have more people that can use it with good skills for compression and boosting it should make a nice difference.
