The Awful Fittings Thread

Haulercane. Who needs a tank?

What's strange to me is the cap rechargers.  Neither missiles nor artillery (nor cargo extenders  ) take any cap.

Is it important to permarun your MWD when driving your haulercane?

Looks like he simply emptied his low slots and kept the rest, his armor tank is in his cargo.

Assuming that's the case (which is likely), his tank consists of a MAR, a couple of active hardeners and a DCU. You shouldn't need 3 cap rechargers to run those in a battlecruiser. Even with an AB going.

I'd have to do way more EFTing than I'm likely to, but this could depend on skills.  If he's totally ignored cap recharge skills....   

[IainC]

If he'd totally ignored cap recharge skills he'd still be better off with a single booster plus possibly a battery than he would with 3 cap rechargers. The second and third recharger are giving a negligible amount of additional cap regen.

Its a mission fit. AB+perma tank. EM/Kin/Ex..

cap boosters break the point of the perma tank. Cap batteries are not efficient on battlecruisers.

A single LCB II[Large Cap Battery II] gives roughly 25% increase in cap size and recharge for a BC. Since he is perma running that is irrelevant. It also uses 100 cpu and 275 powergrid. An MCB II costs 75 CPU and 75 PG and gives a 14% increase in cap

A CR as he fit gives 18%.

Now, its also unlikely that he could even fit an LCBII since he is using best named CRs. The best named LCB provides a 21.6% increase in cap and recharge.

Now, cap recharge and size is not a stacking penalized attribute. But at perfect skills, to perma run the tank, he needs to fit three cap rehcarges[stable at 49%, 2 will run for 12 minutes]. We can assume slightly less than perfect skills and that he is stable somewhere around 35%. Assuming perfect skills your recharge goes from 15.6 to 18.3 or so with the modules.

In short: Its a mission fit and he put his tank in his cargo to move it and some other stuff.

edit: I am assuming mar+3 hardeners, 5 hardeners he needs perfect skills to stay cap stable. but is probably good enough for missions

This is pretty obviously a low-SP pilot.  He's using named cap rechargers which cost a LOT more than the T2 modules.  In fact, the only mods he has the t2 requirements for are the armor tanking gear.  This is someone who has armor repair IV and hull upgrades V but poor electronics/engineering skills.  Probably.

Hey, now, I can't use cap recharger IIs yet and I'm a mid-SP pilot. I never can seem to justify the time to train the skill when I can pay a little more for F-b10s that are almost as good.

Uberpimped Drake. File this under 'more money than sense' I think.

[Moosehands]

ahahahah he was in S-U.  100% guarantee he was grinding L4s for ED.

[Murgos]

A 4.7 Billion ISK drake in 0.0?  What?  Why?

[lac]

That drake reminds me of this quote in a Wired article on the demise of IGE.

That industry is known to insiders as real-money trading, or RMT, and if I tell you now that I've made some money in it myself, that's not because I expect you to take it on my say-so that there are people who might pay as much as $1,800 for an eight-piece suit of Skyshatter chain mail made entirely of fiction and code. Or that there are millions more—players of World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, EverQuest, EVE Online, and other massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs, or MMOs)—who have given other players real money in exchange for the virtual weapons, armor, currencies, and other sought-after items around which these games revolve. Or that despite the game companies' widespread prohibition of such transactions, their number has grown to support an estimated $2 billion annual trade, a half dozen multimillion-dollar online retail businesses, and an enormous Chinese workforce earning 30 cents an hour playing MMOs and harvesting treasure to supply the major retailers.

Minerthron killed by a solo Punisher for added lulz.

I don't even know where to start with that one.  Masterpiece.

Obviously he's going for an unnerfable setup.  Quite clever really.

[IainC]

This is why you shouldn't fly ships just because you have the skill to get behind the wheel.

Lolstarte.

Missing slots (apparently their CEO tells them not to fit points  ).
Uber blaster + Heatsink combo
T1 hardeners and shittiest plate possible.

But hey, he can fit T2 medium guns and fly an Astarte so he must be pretty uber amirite?

Also, blasters and a sensor booster?

For killing arazus, clearly.

Could be worse

For those who don't do capitals, that's a dreadnought that cannot enter siege.

[Slayerik]

You apparently hadn't seen my recently nerfed nano-Moros!!!

[Fordel]

The Drones off a Moros are fucking scary! 

[IainC]

First winner of the new year No clue what is going on here. You need to scroll down to see the failfit - it's the CNR kill in case the page loads weirdly.

[Slayerik]

W T F

seriously....what

the

fuck

[Pax]

He seems to have been ratting as well, judging from the lowbie loot and crappy salvage...

[Vedi]

Loaded him in EFT, and he gets about 50 dps, 412 m/s and has twice the cap regen he needs with all mods active.

Can you even do L2s in this?

[Sparky]

Damn son, that fitting is nearly as painful as browsing battleclinic.

[Jayce]

Light missiles and a shadow serpentis afterburner....  go back to eBay and choose an easier game?

[Phildo]

Is this a carrier with a battleship-sized tank and medium remote reps?  I think it is.

Look at all that damn T1 gear!

Sidenote:  I really, really, really hate -A-'s killboard.

Yeah we has some ZAF guys on TS last night and even they were laughing out about the shitty setup.

[Sparky]

Good job he had plenty of cap recharge to sustain that epic tank.

Not a bad setup as such (for ratting), but your eyes will bleed at all the isk lost as you look down the list.

And he went down like a ton of bricks too...

But the worst thing is that I missed being on the mail by 5 seconds :)
