The Awful Fittings Thread

[IainC]

Hull tanked, Lasertix, Navy Minerthron (fun game with this one, play 'Spot the tank!'), a Mega that thinks it's a destroyer and a Marauder pilot who never wants to lock anyone ever.

[Thrawn]

and a Marauder pilot who never wants to lock anyone ever.

With TWO t2 salvaging rigs to boot. 

[Grand Design]

Look at his cargo - I doubt he wanted to lock anyone.

[Jayce]

Navy Issue Minerthron... words fail...

And as people mentioned in the comments, those rocks weren't warping anywhere with him having a scram fitted...

[Slayerik]

It is obvious the marauder dude was travel fit (though too dumb to scout with an alt as well), and ran into a sabre bubble.

[Nevermore]

I was reading an entertaining blog written by a well spoken low-sec pirate and came across a link to one of the worst fits I've ever seen.  Behold, the tri-tanked laser Myrmidon!

I could excuse the lasers.  When I played I did L3 missions in a passive shield tanked Myrmidon fitted with small lasers (to pop frigates while the Medium T2 drones took out the cruisers and battlecruisers).  But a shield booster, armor repper *and* hull repper? 

[Phildo]

Lasers are fine, he probably wants to save on ammo and the ship doesn't get any gunnery bonuses so the type doesn't matter.  The tanking is the weird thing... REALLY weird.

[Jayce]

Small armor repper, medium hull repper.  Two shield boosters.

If you think about it as a shield tanked ship with a mini-repair facility onboard, it makes sense.  He basically never has to dock.  No repairs or ammo needed.

Teh uber deepspace ratter build!!!111!!!

Instead of wasting valuable slots though, you could tank right and never worry about getting into structure :)

So I'm poking around for ideas on how to fit a Mega for PvP as I can fly one, but never have yet.  Was looking over killboards to see what fittings people had used and came across this -

Mixing Guns 101


Maybe he didn't have guns available and was just fitting them as he looted them? 

[Phildo]

I'll see your mixed gun mega and raise you an artillery/autocannon/cruise/torpedo Typhoon

[Phred]

Any thing with a dual railgun is by default a scavenge fit as no one would buy a dual railgun.

[Jayce]

Those are all Autocannons.  Sometimes they're called "repeating artillery" just to keep you on your toes.

You're correct on the cruise lauchers though.  "Which one of these modules is doing its own thing?"

[Phildo]

Ra...ven?

[apocrypha]

Ra...ven?

Nice! I'm a-gonna git me one of everthing on mah spaceyship!

[Slayerik]

At least this guy was getting bonuses from every weapon he used, had some arbys, correct size MWD and everything....even though mixed range this doesn't really deserve to be in awful fittings....triple trimarked, dual plated typhoons are all the rage these days I hear! ;)

You non Minmatar pilots! He only has close range projectiles on there. And he has mostly close range missiles, he just didn't have the grid for the last siege launcher because of all the plates and armor rep. (Triple plated, btw.) Yeah, he doesn't understand resistances worth a crap, granted, but his highs aren't *crazy* bad. Well, the cloak is pretty sucky. This guy has heard of decent fits, but lost something in the translation...

Edit: His real mistake was fitting out a Minmatar ship with T1 mods.

[IainC]

Oh dear... What do you mean, stacking penalty?

[Sir T]

Yout heard of SHield Tanking

You heard of Armour tanking.

I present to you THE PASSIVE SHIELD TANK PASSIVE ARMOUR PLATE RAVEN!!!

With a prototype cloak of locking time penalty put in.

For added comedy I flew with this idiot for over a year.

[Pax]

A decent bait fit, I guess.
Whatever damage he absorbed might have saved somebody else...

[Sir T]

I imaging set up for doing the classic "Wait at long range with clocaked remore repping Ravens to give illusion that gate is clear, then when something comes through have cloaked dictor drop bubble and have Ravens spam missiles." Battle Angels are famuos for it.

But this was a fleet fight...

[Jayce]

Wow, I'd like to know the EHP of that.  Though I can't help but think that a DCU or EANM II might have capped off a bait fit better.

I think the prototype cloak was ok because it's not like that ship will ever break anything's tank.  No real need to lock anything at all.

Edit to include:

But this was a fleet fight...

One in which it sounds like he was not at all confident of the outcome. And with good reason since he's on a killmail.  For that matter the entire fit's purpose is negated if it ever shows up on a killmail.

[Amarr HM]

I agree with Jayce I've seen these bait ships used a few times now one in Zs- a DCU and EANM would increase your HP and a mix of resists are good in a RR situation. The two carriers that we took down last night neither had a DCU vOv

[Phildo]

Posting this because a friend in The Mavericks thought it was funny and I'm too drunk to argue.

[Maelstrom/url]

[Moosehands]

He must really love that fit because he did it again the next day:

[Amarr HM]

It's not the worst Mael fit I've ever seen definitely doesn't belong in this thread could never be categorized as awful.

[Goumindong]

It's not the worst Mael fit I've ever seen definitely doesn't belong in this thread could never be categorized as awful.

Are we looking at the maelstrom with SPR's, no damage mods, no invuln fields, 3 shield extenders and a shield booster?

Cause if we are, then yes, it deserves to go in an awful fitting thread.

[lac]

You are right!
All the poor chap did was mix gun types, mix a passive tank with an active one, fit a cruiser mwd on a battleship and then wasted 3 low slots on stuff that doesn't aid his tank in any meaningful way.

edit: crap beaten, shouldn't have gone for that coffee :)

Hmm didn't really look at it closely to be honest on second glance you are correct 10mn MWD mixed T1 guns passive and active shield booster mix it's terribad.

As bad as GROON is, apparently ANZAC ALLIANCE is worse.

Haulercane. Who needs a tank?
