I was in it for a little while in Zatzai's corporation along with a few other SLUers, but I got out of it when I didn't play it as much as I would have liked to. Maybe I'll get back into it someday soon.

Generally, you'll want autocannons for pvp (except perhaps in fleet battles), and artillery for missions.

Because most PVP engagements will be at around 30km max range, whereas for PVE missions, you need your group to be at distance so as not to aggro the whole of deadspace by getting too close.

Skill training completed...

Like Ace said, you want range for missions so the NPCs don't overwhelm you. I fit my cane for level 3s with six arties, two heavy missiles and 5 drones, and it can all hit from around 30km.

Arties have high alpha, whereas autos are about DPS. The range and high alpha would be useful on a battleship in a fleet battle. A group of sniping battleships could use the alpha to take out enemy ships in a volley or two. You'd want arties if you were shooting a POS too, to keep out of the range of its guns. Solo or small gangs, you're usually closeup and in scram range, and you need the DPS to take targets down quickly and break tanks.

Also, Tech 2 autos are essential for Minmatar in pvp. Minmatar usually use barrage to fight at the end of their falloff and out of web range. A webbed Stabber or Vaga is just dead.

Aura sounds so hot. Sometimes I set a waypoint twice just to hear her talk.

Sometimes I hate this damn skill training system.

But most of the time I love it, so oh well

This is my current L3 mission ship:

PASSIVECANE - BattleClinic.com - Your online community for EVE Online, Freelancer, Starfleet Command and Jumpgate Evolution.

That's a pretty damn good site for finding ship builds, and they come with Evemon skill plans.

Lucifer Baphomet

Nice.

I been using heavy malkuths in mine, I may try using light missiles in her... see what toys I can fit in, then, cause itll free up 2 low slots.
(I use a lot of PDU IIs)

Fade Languish

Interesting.

For missions I run 6 X 650mm artie T2s, two Limos heavy launchers, AB, tracking computer, two cap recharger IIs, armor repper II, two rat-specific hardeners, DC II and two gyro IIs. Plus 1 medium and 4 light drones. Rigs are two CCCs and an armor trimark pump.

For PVP, 6 x 425m T2 autos, with the remaining two high slots either two heavy missiles, or nos/neut, sometimes I have to throw a remote repper in there if we're spider tanking. Then in the mids, MWD II, web, warp disruptor II, best named medium cap booster. The lows, armor repper II, two EANMs, DC II, and two gyro IIs. Plus drones.

There's so much stuff I want to try with Hurricane hulls that I doubt I'll get my ass into a Maelstrom until 2009. ;-;

Lucifer Baphomet

Hurricanes Rock.

We should start a Hurricane Pilots Club

Awesome. I just found out we're at war again.

So there is more than spending all your time warping from station to station? I guess I was doing something wrong.

JenK

That's because they lack stabilization which causes them to handle like a junkyard held together with duct tape. Oh, yeah...

This is a bad thing? (other than a waste of giant dildos)


This is your toon.

Working on procuring three Capacitor Control Circuits for the upgrade slots, but damn those things are expensive.

Oh, also 5x Hobgoblin I and 5x Hammerhead I

Now if only I were more effective at managing drones. I never know what to send out in what quantity, how to order them around effectively, etc >.>

And now that my Catalyst isn't seeing much use, I'm working on converting it over to a full salvage rig. Maybe I'll actually start making halfway decent amounts of money, whee!

/me wonders how far she can get with 14 days

Is salvaging the best way to make money early on?

I'm up to my Cruiser now, and these missions are still paying out crap. Not that I've really done that many...I've mostly just tooled around and watched what happens

Fade Languish

Yup salvage will increase your returns from low level missions pretty significantly. Fit up a destroyer with 4 tractors / 4 salvagers.

Also, and this really starts to pay off around level threes, when you're selling your loot, check the prices of sell orders compared to buy orders. Sometimes the difference can be huge. If it's worthwhile, put up a sell order. I trained enough trading skills to have about 40 sell orders, which I think took me a day or so.
