many use afterburners and swap the extra shield extender for another resister. This is my fit. It's not the tankiest fit you can have but it's a healthy mix of damage and tank. If we stick to a fit that has a booster and has no afterburner, here's the options:
Max buffer:
3 extenders, 1 booster, 2 power diagnostic units. 3464 shield, 3849 effective shield
This fit will take the most punishment, but will take longer to recharge as your booster has to fill 3464 shield.
Resist max tank:
2 extenders, 1 booster, 1 amplifier, 2 power diagnostic units. 2716 shield, 3550 effective shield.
This fit loses about 299 effective shield over the max buffer build, but it has 748 less actual shield. This means that your booster and recharge only have to do 78% of the work to fill you all the way up. So, you're giving up 8% of your shield to gain 22% more rebound. This fit won't take as much punishment, but it'll get back into the fight way faster.
Attack ship:
2 extenders, 1 booster, 1 amplifier, 2 damage mods. 2571 shield, 3360 effective shield.
This fit is once again a bit more fragile than the previous, giving up about 6% of the effective and actual shield from the resist max tank, and giving up about 26% actual / 87% effective shield of the max buffer fit, but for that cost you gain about 19.5% increased damage. That means that you now need about 4 missiles to do the damage of what would have been 5.
As I said, the attack ship is my personal favorite. I'll run an Eryx with an afterburner because the thing is a boulder with engines strapped to it (and it has more health than a Python/Myron), but a Python already has a lot of maneuverability for performing evasive maneuvers. I'm sure some people see a big need for an afterburner, but I'd rather just be able to take an extra shot.
By the way, fit militia turrets on your sides (at least in pubs). If you fit proto and nobody uses them, you just wasted about 200-300K ISK.
TL;DR Resistance amplifiers will let you bounce back faster and boost harder, extenders will let you take more punishment. Power Diagnostic Units will increase your health and your recharge, payload systems will make tanks cry. |
