search, there is a surya guide already posted, and I posted my dropship Eryx fit that may give you ideas for a Sageris.
Welcome to vehicles.
What's your Assault fit? :) |

Infantry wins games. Can't believe how useless teams can be when competent people aren't running the ground.
Yep, I've been in so many games where the mega tank team loses due to lack of control of the points. |

I don't know about "OP" but my usual Surya fit is something along the lines of a 60mm plate and a heavy rep, 3 voltaic resists, a CRU, and a damage control. if i were to upgrade some of these mods i'd just drop the CRU.
other fits of interest include the tri-rep where you have 1 heavy rep and 2 small reps, no plate, 2 resists and a damage control. This allows you to rep continuously, but makes you more vulnerable to being blown up quickly
another option is 3 resists, a 180mm plate and a 120mm plate with no reps, this setup can take a lot of damage but requires outside support to repair Or maybe he's only doing it because he's sick of the tanks! I just really wanted to play for K/D and boost skillpoints by using a tank tbh.
How's that working for you? I don't doubt it's a beneficial perspective at the least. |

it has no reps, lots of armor resist amplifiers and good plating.
the only way to get its armor back is by parking near a supply station, or by having a very good repair tool on hand (hop out and rep it)
it can withstand something like 12 direct prototype swarm launcher hits, and 11 prototype forge gun hits. needless to say, you'll be out of the firing line by the fourth shot of each so it's not that big of a deal anyway
yeah I've done the same with an Eryx. It tanks like a beast, and then you lose your gunners waiting for it to regen due to boredom.
Not a bad insertion fit, but not a good sustain one.
It's tricky balancing short term damage absorbtion and long-term sustainability. I made an Eryx fit that could soak swarm launchers all day long, but a forge gun could swat it out of the sky with only a couple shots. |

Pokey Dravon wrote:Well someone already posted the thread where I talked about the Surya fit a bit. Since there is no all around "best fit" for every situation, I generally start with a base fit and then modify it from there.
For a Sageris a good place to start is
Highs:
3 Resists
1 Extender
1 Large Booster
(Though trading a resist for a small booster is also a possibility if you want a bit more active fit)
Lows:
Whatever PG extenders needed to use the high modules with your skills
The rest Nanofibers to boost speed. Speed tanking is actually surprisingly effective, and with some builds you can fit 3 nanofibers on a Sageris to boost it up to a whopping 34m/s. It allows you to do a lot of hit and run because the tank moves almost on par with an LAV.
Weapons: As always, small missile turrets, and then whatever your preference for a large turret (which is again very situational)
I'll actually be doing a lot of infantry testing this weekend, probably a lot of logi support and some AV testing with a few new dropsuit fits I've been working on, so I probably wont be rolling around in the tank much.
I can pilot Sagaris, but don't really like tanks right now and don't have a fit I'd be confident in sharing.. but yes, resist is super important and often ignored by newbies. Nano tanks look fun, but the strength of a tank imo is to be able to hold down a cap point until it's yours, and speed doesn't help you then. My lows are nearly always filled with power grid boosters, preferably the 7%/7%/7% version for more shields and regen.. but nanos do look tempting for dropships also. Wish there was a stronger version. |
