[PVE] Cynabal

[Boltorano]

SERIOUS POST

I've done a fair number of L3s with one in lowsec fit for buffer and gank, it's great for blitzing (MWD in missions makes this awesome) and anything that doesn't have a lot of missile spam or ECM is easy and it zips through (most) gatecamps with ease.

I can't seem to find my old fit, but the main issue seems to be running out of capacitor very quickly trying to speed tank with the MWD, and buffer is quite thin so doing missions for Caldari corps is pretty much out of the question.

Am I the only one who has ever tried this and made it work?

The cynabal is pretty fast with an ab. I imagine you can buffer tank l4's with an ab buffer cynabal with right hardeners.

But ofc ther ships will be better at this :D

I found myself doing this mainly because I was tired of losing Drakes, and besides Drakes are pretty boring and mainstream, and I CBA to train up a battleship right now to do "proper missioning". It's pretty much the best ship available to me right now that can apply DPS at range, will train for Cerberus later on but currently with hybrids on the cusp of becoming back in style I have Medium Hybrid 5 to train.

And you know, sometimes it's fun to just do things that other people aren't trying to do.

I'll take a stab.

MWD into close range, orbit 3500 or so w/ MWD off, pew.
Obviously dont expect to do stuff like Blockade or sansha WC pocket (may be actually possible, but not isk efficient)

Large F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction

Interesting, that would make a huge difference over the fit I was using before, I hadn't considered a named 3rd LSE and brawling at short range.

Yeah, the idea behind it was mainly to grind standing with research corps, so the extra long missions are avoided in favor of things that can be completed extremly quickly like Retribution and Damsel. I never do missions just for the ISK.

Unless i'm confused, somebody in team minmatar ratted his way from -9.9 to -3.X in a day using a cynabal, so it sounds viable.

afaik he was in a dual-prop pvp fit.

REPRESENTING =)




right:

the fit!

dual prop 425s med neut, lse lse, point, 2 gyros 2 tes and dc. with anti em anti thermal and poly as rigs. standard pvp fit =)


find a nice quiet loop in 0.0 (i found a nice loop around 92-b0x in GW) and kill 1 bs per system.

voila. took me 14-15 hours with fast talk 4 to go from -10 to -1.95

2 hours one day and 12 hours the next (god i was bored)

Just to clarify for anyone not knowing how the 1bs per system works its based on the fact that you gain a security increase every 15mins per system, you can therefore make a "circuit" of 0.0 systems and kill 1bs per system to achieve a security increase and as long as you don't return there for 15mins you can gain a security increase every 5mins rather than every 15mins.
I've used this system for years to get back into empire space, and also get old pirate characters cheap then resell once their security status was better.
