Destroyer gangs?
« on: May 25, 2009, 08:54:43 PM »
Who is skilled for destroyers?

Who is skilled to T2 fit those destroyers?

Who thinks a small gang of well fit (ideally for alpha - and yes if I have to skill minnie for a thrasher and arty I will!!!0destroyers would be a good laugh to take out of an evening on a regular basis in either 0.0 (NPC 0.0 like Syndicate) or Lowsec near our hisec homes (Builders up there could build the ships, then we get them blown up :D)

The aim would be to survive or die gloriously and take as many people with us as possible, and generally have a blast doing it.

atm, destroyers is only at II, but aimed for V in the next 50 days, so guess i can move these skills forward and I will have it at V in a week / 8 days.
I can fit T2, but will have to play with EFT to see if fitting allows it.

Very much like the idea though!

my fit

training for the thrasher isnt the prob ofc, only 8 hours or so, but if you want to go for T2 arties, that will take a while longer. You can always go for small proj IV, which will take about 24h more...
if you use an Auxiliary Power Control you can fit 280mm 'scout's and do more dam than me mebbe. I cant use APCs yet, or I might have   :)

I think t2 fit is not necessary, so if keeping that in mind we get more ppl to join in, hurray!
And I for one would really like some corp pvp fun, so hope we get more than 3 ppl to join in  :-\

Im pretty sure  odin is caldari destro V and he can def do a full T2 fit on one. How about a mix of Destro's and assault ships. Im pretty sure ive got a harpy and a hawk sitting around somewhere in odin's stash. I know they are a little more pricey than a Destro but Hey! if ur intending to risk throwing away a full T2 fit destro then an assault ship isnt really going to be much worse.  in for a penny in for a pound etc.

let me see what i can knockup with my Amarr pew pew, not sure about T2 but he can fit T2 guns ;)

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)
