Another error: Do not, NOT, EVER! mix passive and active tanking. If you have a buffer tank, you max out the buffer. If you've got resists, set yourself for the amount of HP regen/s you want, and then max out the resists (i.e., make every hitpoint you restore worth more actual damage from the enemy).
i know. the thing is, i dont have enough DPS to burst down the enemy, so i need to make the fight as long as a i can do do any kind of significant damage. i cant win by offensive superiorit (even in an actual combat vessel). so i have to try and make sure the ship can take a beating for a long time.
so far buffer tanking has worked. but due to signature radius certain frigates get close and abuse while i cant repair properly so i was envisioning to add a repper or something.
yes im gonna check the slasher and perhaps the vigil.
EDIT:
currently testing an active tanking Probe. rigs and some mids for passive resistances while repping with an oversized shield booster. out of a powercore the fit leaves space for a BCUII for extra missile range and application.
first fight went against a rifter but the guy warped off. currently checking in scanner for more frigates. i dont know if having roughly 60-70 resists will negate the possible damage of T2 weapons but the 150 reps per cycle should keep my afloat.
EDIT2:
there was a 4-5 man gank when i jumped into a novice. fuck stilettos.
anyways, gonna try with an oversized AB and some passive tank. then check on the Slasher or maybe test th same fit with a combat frigate. thing is, there doesnt seem to be much action in these. but if i jump into a small there will be destroyers of all types so nope.
EDIT:
had to do something else so went out of the game. the attack from the stiletto left me wondering something however.
if i understand well this, you need at least 2 points to be able to prevent someone from warping. thus im only used to use scram. however, the stiletto that got me in that gank was using a warp disruptor. is there something im missing there? i mean, i've tried to simulate kiting fits with double point but the fit isnt capable of keeping the run and the point at the same time. the stiletto is a T2 but im pretty sure it doesnt have extra disruption strength. was he using double point? or you can actually use a single point to disrupt people from warping?
