[PVP] Phantasm

[Shiodome]

Not a 'posting just to get the thread started' post, never flown this ship before is p.cheap and i'm interested in opinions or advice. looks like a decent little brawler to me with it's abundant mids and tracking bonus... amd thinking of

am on the fence about 2 CDFE's or anti em rig + CDFE. also web/tracking disruptor? Normally i'd go for web no problem, but seeing as it's got it's tracking bonus + nuets perhaps TD would be better for brawling larger hulls.

input?

[Rudolf Miller]

input is the phantasm in general is not viable

ehp is very very low

cap is very very terrible (i see you adressed this with a booster, but in all actuality you'll need basilisks for cap support)

neuts compound the problem above. you will not be able to sustain the neuting power.

really.. the ship needs a quick rebuff to get it back in line with other faction ships

[Calgus]

cap is absolutely god awful on that thing, even with the injector I would be cautious about using the neuts.

The phantasm used to be a great ship, good ehp (bout the same as a shield cane), good dps and reasonably quick but when they nerfed sansha the good ehp was smacked pretty hard and made the ship average at best

[Shiodome]

you say the cap is terrible, but the fit i posted runs everything (including neuts) except the mwd (which you don't run once in brawling range anyway) for just short of 14 minutes, or in reality as long as you have cap boosters. that's not terrible, that's in fact very very good?

[Liang]

I've found the Phantasm's cap to be pretty garbage... definitely not enough for a pair of neuts to be realistic. I'd probably run a pair of small neuts (purely for frig defense) and turn that ACR into another CDFE.

[Helen]

I really want this ship to be good as it looks so awesome but others are right Shiodome it needs a buff.
Cap is really terribad with the amount of neuts in fights these days and the EHP is just lacking.

[Angel Hun]

I use a fit very similar to the OP, with I think 2x Small neuts.

On paper it does look pretty good. However in reality it 1) Lacks Range (20km Scorch OH BOY!!!) and 2) Has the worst cap of any cruiser (faction and probably t2).

The only thing really going for it is its massive PG in which you can get a fairly impressive (albeit low resist) Buffer tank. Its just not a very good ship to fly seriously.

[Shiodome]

so is eft just lying when it says it's cap lasts as long as it's boosters?

[Angel Hun]

Try pulsing mwd as if you were kiting, and try running mods after an average warp. It is severely deficient in cap. That booster needs to be run constantly and will quickly let you down. However it does seem to overheat guns well!

[Rudolf Miller]

cap total is too small to do anything good is whats being said. also.. because overall cap is so tiny, a medium neut will fuck you a lot more than average.

[Shiodome]

guess it's something i'll have to learn the hard way i'm in low sec, so boosters aren't much of an issue, range doesn't matter much on a brawling fit etc etc. plus i've a few weeks training for t2 lasers anyway in which to get cold feet and come to my senses ^^

[Takon Orlani]

I run beams and keep aligned/at range. I also only roll it in camps/scimi gangs.

It really is in need of a fitting buff.

[Meridius Dex]

I'd like to get some kind of good fitting for this ship, as well. Anytime you think you have some decent fit for it you get those "x ship does it better" comparisons, usually with the Zealot. I did try a fit that matches my recent predilection for cruiser hulls that go at least 1800 m/s, can fit Scorch, and do at least 350 DPS. This fit is weak on tank but does the same damage as the OP fit, but at Scorch optimal (dropping a HS for a DC would prolly be better):

This is my fit , you need a +1 engineering implant for it and pretty decent fitting skills.

Since the cap on this is so bad you can pretty much live from the next guys cap all the time using the booster only in emergency situations.

wat.

wat.

I imagine it has to do with caplife but still, no.

[Pacefalm]

If you use a faction PDS you can get rid of the implant (~30 mil).



If you use a t2 EM resist rig you can get rid of the derp (~priceless).

I popped this excitedly into EFT because I tried a shield nomen recently and was a bit disappointed with the tank as compared to a cynabal.

Alas... the shield nomen still looks like it's mostly a better choice AND has a better tank (until you overheat an invuln and then it's equal). A bit less DPS but my fit has room for 2 TEIIs. No injector and it doesn't look like a novelty buttplug but meh.

Disappointing ship is disappointing. I think it needs another low or something.

The imp is cheaper (you actually only need a +1 i just rechecked) than the PDS and theres not much usefull stuff in that slot anyways.

I agree to the T2 Rig though. I put the shielding thing on there cause i was so afraid to cap out. Turns out you can hold quite log despite the cap issues of this ship.

3x light drones of your choice

Keep your range, stay alined. I only fly this when we have scimi support.

400dps, 1500m/s. I usually dont load multi unless we're finishing a target off.

Multi puts you inside long point range, faction standard keeps you mostly out of long point range. I usually fit standard.
