I wasn't convinced it was worthy of this thread until I noticed the two empty low slots. Sticking a faction passive kinetic shield mod on there when you have no invulns, just a single photon and heat active mod, still leaves those two resists waaay below kinetic, which starts off very good anyway. Also, that single smart bomb won't help him with heavy tacklers: he should have dropped some DCUs and fitted heavy neuts if he really meant to put it in harm's way (which he clearly did). The faction mod just screams "oh I've got this faction mod from ratting so I'll pimp out my carrier with it." I sometimes fit a faction passive mod on my carrier, but it sure isn't kinetic, and is intended to help me when I am liable to be neuted all to hell and back myself and have good reason to expect a certain sort of damage. |

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

A billion and a half isk worth of Rupture? Half of that in one very peripheral module that wouldn't even make sense on a missile Dread (Officer BCS)? Even if he's now broke, he still has more money than sense. --Dave |

IshtarBecause 130k drone range means you don't need a tank amirite?

The clue is in the drone bay. He was using sentries to snipe at really long range

That doesn't make it less stupid tbh. Especially as he's either going to lose a lot of sentries or be pretty much immobile. |

Indeed: he was trying to replicate a muninn/deimos/eagle with an ishtar. The difference is that my tankless eagle can align out and keep firing, whereas he is pinned in place.
That said, he probably got caught jumping through a gate, which is hell for eagles, too.

I think I see what he was going for with this one.  His align time must have been on the order of minutes. |

They've apparently removed that kill. Anyone remember who it was or what corp?

You wouldn't credit that you could spend 5 billion or so on a ship and come up with a fit this bad. I give you, the battle-rorqual... http://kb.sc0rched.com/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=2087415 faction items. But no capital shield repair, just an X-Large shield booster. And the powerful effect of that bonus to drone damage is limited somewhat by the T1 drones he still uses. Not to mention that a shield composed entirely of two domi invulnerability fields is little use when so many people do EM damage. For goons and allies I say: get on GFFL/MM Ghost etc deployment before this sort of stuff dries up. |

As I recall, there is an XL shield booster that gives the same shield points per second and capacitor use as the Capital, for a tiny fraction of the powergrid and CPU. But that one isn't it. Last I checked, the price of them was passing 1B isk.

I'm not going to post the poor bugger's name, but one of the guys in my corp decided to shift a ton of stuff including numerous blueprints, in a Mammoth, with the only fittings being cargo rigs/mods .... while we were war-decced by a small corp. One Myrmidon and he was toasted losing everything - poor bugger.
Even a shield setup in the mids and 3 stabs might have saved him.

I'd assume he found himself stuck in a station without docking rights or ship and figured he'd give it a go.
At least that's the situation I found myself in when I did pretty much the same thing, albeit in a rifter and with only a couple of 100 mil worth of faction stuff in the cargo. I was lucky enough to make it despite hilarious efforts of a Geminate residents gang.

Or the artillery and missile launchers on a ship that has all its bonuses to lasers.
The two Adaptive Nano Plates are also a nice touch, was he really hurting for the CPU to fit EANMs?

At least he didn't try to shield tank it! I wonder why he bothered with the cap rechargers since the artillery handles that issue nicely. Maybe he was cap stable while repping. Not that it helped.
