YEAH, you better believe it.

With all the shield generators you can stick on it, and a LARGE plasma accelerator. Ramming smaller shps was teh win

Quote from: M3ta7h3adBTW... you cant just train up battleships and survive in 0.0, I have difficulty tanking in 0.0 occasionally and my armour/shield skills are relatively high.

Then obviously youre doing something wrong. I have spent a lot of time discussing, with newer pilots who join my corp, the ins and outs of ratting in 0.0. People are now using the newer Battlecruisers to rat a lot. But a Battleship taking 2 BS and a few cruisers, npc ones (you know the damage theyll do) is a piece of cake.

edit : of course in deep 0.0 you get 4 BS spawns and all that. But obviously thats the exception in the matter.

I could tank a dual BS spawn in a ferox no problem, providing I had decent resists matched to the enemy, but tanking a raven proved a right arse, and scorp... well I used to just jam, screw tanking, I had a small tech 2 armour rep, and shield booster to regen shields between jams. But that was when ECM was insanely powerful

I do 0.0 ratting in a Battlecruiser.

Myrmidon with some tech2 rails and med nos in highs,
Passive cap recharge II (cant remember what they are called) in meds - sometimes one swapped out for a AB, depends what im after.
2x Medium Armor Repair IIs, 2x Energized adaptive plating, 2x N-Type hardners (changed depending on rats).

Used to run with 5x Orges but due to resent changes cant do that anymore at the moment using 5x Hammerheads IIs untill I can get OrgeII skills trained up.

Can happily take most 0.0 rat spawns, I do generally move on if there are any jamming frigates in the groups as they just annoy me and I would rather go find another spawn

actually thinking back it wasnt tanking that is my issue. Its killing things

Id sit there with 2 1.3million BSs pounding me, and be there for 30 minutes unable to break their tank.

Thats when 5 Orges came into play but stupid nerf stopped that 3 or 4 small techII railguns can do an alright amount of dmg if using some good ammo.

You just needed better skills then.

Even my lowly Nighthawk can do enough damage to send 1.3bil BS over the edge and they seriously lack in the damage department.

With a suitably fitted BS youd eat through most stuff.

What Corps are people in?  Im monumentally bored in mine as theres only ever 2/4 people online and nothing ever happens.  Boooooring and looking to move.

lol I love that picture

My corp is part of Sylph, not the best alliance in the world but we like to PVP/Explore whenever we can. Odessa Operations is the name.

We usually have 7-12 people online in the evening, UK time. But if you want lots of action it wouldnt be the best place to come.
