3 Heatsinks Or Go Home




It's been a long long time since I posted anything, but I have really always wanted to continue this blog. The main reasons I haven’t been posting has been RL issues, and the fact that my EVE excitement has gone down quite a-bit from back when I started this blog. Anyway I have finally forced myself to restart my blog and I hope I have some interesting things to post in the future.

To start off I’m going to show you the ship I’m currently training for

Armageddon - aka: Salamander

[Cargo]
7x Scorch
7x Imperial Navy Multifrequency
Cap Booster 800s

With over 1000dps over heated and almost 100k ehp this ship is just begging to be flown. It dose have some short comings, such as it eats cap like candy and the lack of web, but it has a few tricks up its sleave to help with that such as using 1 less heavy drone to give you a full flight of warrior2s and its heavy Newt. You may ask "why the long point?" but thats because if you quickly switch your ammo to the T2 scorch this ship can easily hit past 20k giving you amazing dps even at range.

Alterativly you can leave the trimarks off all together and just go for dps rigs, giving you about 80k ehp but making your ship cost only around 70mil (thats as much as a T2 fit BC!)

This ship is great vs most BCs, and shield tanked BSs. It can fight cruisers using its newt and drones, but Recons and HACs may give you trouble if they get under your tracking. Also most armor BSs while having similar DPS and EHP, they have their best resists against your damage so in an even fight you are likely to lose.

For its cheep price yet amazing abilitys, this will likely be my new favorite toy as soon as I finish getting T2 heavy lasers.

For my next few blog posts I will be highlighting some of my favorit practical pvp set ups and talking about them till i get some interesting EVE action to tell you about.

I would also like to make a shout out to one of my favorite EVE blogs The Altruist 

PS: i may go back and reedit my older posts, the layout and grammer are terible
