He just wouldn't have been able to live with himself had he left those 13 Capbooster 800 behind.

What is it with clowns and ravens, I remember we kept seeing this last year in D2...

http://f13.7mph.com/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13222

...fleets full of the damn things, not literally the worst fit in the history of eve, but looks like it was put togther with whatever happened to drop off of rats.

In this case, cap boosters and target painters on a mixed ammo armour tanking fleet raven. I thought it might be a ratter who joined up with whatever he could find, till I noticed no armour rep.

Also, oh hey, 2000th battleship kill by f13 posters on behalf of Goonswarm.

Apart from the cap boosters, which aren't the worst thing you could fit, there's nothing really wrong with this Raven. It's all best named or T2 and the ammo is probably two gun groups, one for shooting structures and the other for shooting ships (faction).

I was looking at that trying to figure out what made it so bad. Ok it has cruiser sized guns, no midslots, an empty low and still apparently needs a co-processor for it and then it hit me, he's fitted it to a Hyperion.

2 billion is loss

4 years of PvP mods and ammo in a mastadon. I avoided every other camp on the way to Orvelle and didn't pay attention in the ONE low sec system I had to travel through and died to low sec pirates who weren't even listed as hostile. Between 1 to 2 billion in mods lost, about 500mil to 1billion dropped. Whelp. At least IT didn't get it.

My Pod survived, but the HALO implants hadn't helped much.

Excuse me, good sir, but I believe the thread you were looking for is this way.

Anyway, I have never flown a T3 ship myself, but it doesn't take much to know that this could have been done better:

Fitting minnie guns to an Abaddon is nothing new and not an awful fitting either.

Yeah, the sad fact is that lasers murder an Abaddon's cap thanks to the lack of an energy turret cap reduction on the hull.  Using capless projectile turrets gets around that.

Your DPS will be gimpy but you still get a nasty alpha. Good bait ship against neuting BS in lowsec.

Autocannons with a massive tank(ideally plated and reps) would be a decent baitship in low-sec. Not to say that the arties are a terribly bad fit, but if you're not going to have anything else on the ship that uses cap you might as well go with lasers, and arties are useless once you're tackled(the point of a baitship) due to their pathetic tracking. What probably happened is that the guy trained up the Abaddon before he got the laser skills and figured his higher projectile skills(still not t2 though) would increase his efficiency.

How does being tackled affect your tracking? that's a new one to me.

It doesn't, but when you're tackled, they're close to you(at least, usually, kinda the point of bait is to web/scram whatever you're baiting in so that it can't get away). And being close affects your tracking.

And that's another advantage of using Minnie guns, you get to drop the cap booster you need to keep the lasers running and fit either multiple webs or multiple scrams. Theorycrafting about tracking in lowsec is dumb as most of the other ships are having similar issues & everybody tends to sit stationary and slug it out.

Large artillery have trouble hitting things at close range even when they're moving very very slow. They're the worst tracking guns in the game and it really shows. You also have the lowest DPS of any guns in the game such that autocannons are going to overtake your high alpha very quickly. No one is saying that there is anything wrong with using Minnie guns on a big fuck off tank bait ship Abaddon. They're saying you don't use Artillery for the job.

Not that this guy was in low-sec anyway, he was in 0.0, and he wasn't baiting, he was sniping(or damage dealing, he had fusion loaded into a standard sniper fit). And in those situations the cap use of beam lasers isn't a big deal, since you aren't using the cap for anything else anyway and lasers have so much more DPS and tracking, especially on an Abaddon.

Meanwhile, if the primary is dying within 1-2 volleys then artillery will always do more damage than beams or railguns.

Only if there is only one target. Otherwise the ships with higher DPS get to bring their DPS to the next target faster since they don't have to wait as long for their guns to cycle before getting to the next target(and the fact that high DPS will out damage high alpha before the second volley, there are steps within each cycle where each has an advantage).

Not saying that volley damage isn't an advantage, but you're better off with the lasers on the Abaddon if you're sniping.

If you're sniping, you're better off docking up, selling the Abaddon, replacing it with an Apoc, and spending the 50 million you have left over on gin and whores.

That said they still disabled the kill on their own boards so that it wouldn't appear in their K/D ratio.

I agree with Bhodii, still there must be about 2500 BPCs there could be anywhere between 3-10 billion worth.
