Depending on how much he wants to make the kill as opposed to just drive a target off, he can put the point on before decloaking or after he has locked things up. Add a loki web and that could be pretty nasty and force an interloper to work hard to disengage.Ranamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-12214613696316758862014-05-30T12:38:43.585-05:002014-05-30T12:38:43.585-05:00If you are planning on using a Loki in covert ops ...If you are planning on using a Loki in covert ops mode, top DPS is around 420 before over-heat with autocannons (faction ammo, 3 faction Gyro's). If you play around with using a Prototype 1 cloak instead, DPS can be 600. From what I have read, I am not sure the 420 DPS will break the tank of the toughest of the Mordus rats on Sisi.<br /><br />Someone posted that to break a BS tank you need about 650.<br /><br />Stratios is superior DPS to a covert ops Loki if you want to keep the covert ops cloak. But keep in mind, Stratios DPS gets murdered by the Garde II nerf on Tuesday, and you won't be using Ogres as the NPC AI will eat them for breakfast.<br /><br />I know you did not open it up as an option, but you might want to consider the Proteus instead of the Loki. You can get some ferocious damage with rails, blasters, or drones with the non-covert version, and the covert version still pumps out well in excess of 500 with blasters.<br /><br />Last caveat: Expect all T3's to be wrecked very soon. fozzie the destructor has set his sights on them, and has openly stated they are OP.<br /><br />You want to play with some fits, email me in game and I can share with you some different ideas. I use the Loki right now for low sec ratting and exploration, in different flavours, depending on the situation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05509895151523038252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-69690674685853035022014-05-30T10:00:34.523-05:002014-05-30T10:00:34.523-05:00I don't know how much or how well distributed ...I don't know how much or how well distributed you SP is, but I generally find that the pirate cruisers are much more forgiving to lower SP characters. I believe this has even been declared by the devs.<br /><br />Other notes: <br />- I'm assuming a Pilgrim is not something you're even remotely skilled for?<br /><br />- I would stick to autocannons for the Loki. XL ASB Lokis can also tank incredible amounts of damage, but if you don't have backup I don't think it particularly matters.<br /><br />- T1 beam lasers will probably be sufficient for the Stratios. Obviously Scorch is wonderful, but I wouldn't take the time to train into it for one ship that doesn't even have a damage or rof bonus.ALEA_IACTA_ESThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549116619177548041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-5955026133882272662014-05-30T09:16:47.612-05:002014-05-30T09:16:47.612-05:00One of the cool things about moving from normal sh...One of the cool things about moving from normal ships to tech3 ships is the feeling of getting a hero class. A cloaky loki will put out over 400 dps, have 90k tank, and go 2.4k with heat using an 100mn ab. You decloak on the rat, toss your web on, pulse the 100mn once to get some transversal going and orbit the rat at 2-3km.<br /><br />A normal ship might care about the rat damage, a tech 3 does not. You're looking at a passive tank of 150dps on a huge pile of shield hitpoints. If someone else shows up you web them, heat the AB and run like hell. As with all tech 3s Lokis benefit from a touch of the bling, here I reccomend only a single faction gyro, but a cheapish faction 100mn will benefit substantially.<br /><br />This fit scans and kills belt rats but cannot truely pvp as it has no point. You can drop the damage control for a power diagnostic and change out the probe launcher for a single HAM launcher, ups the dps to about 450. Switch out some subs fo an immobility driver, an amp node and a better web/ab combo and you can go 1.9k before heat, 2.8k after heat with a web that goes out 35 before 45 after. You can get away from nearly any three non-web bonused ships in this loki. Web one, shoot the weakest and just out run the 3rd.<br /><br />An important thing to remember in 100mn tech 3s is that<br />you're not dead until the ship explodes in space. With one web on a ninja loki you can still go 1.2k, enough to out run slow ships. While you're spiraling away from the slow ships simply put your autocannons on the fast tackle, switching webs around as needed. <br />[Loki, ScanTankDps]<br />Gyrostabilizer II<br />Republic Fleet Gyrostabilizer<br />Gyrostabilizer II<br />Damage Control II<br /><br />100MN Afterburner II<br />Large Shield Extender II<br />Large Shield Extender II<br />Stasis Webifier II<br />Adaptive Invulnerability Field II<br /><br />Covert Ops Cloaking Device II<br />425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M<br />425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M<br />425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M<br />425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M<br />425mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP M<br />Expanded Probe Launcher II, Core Scanner Probe I<br /><br />Medium Core Defense Field Extender II<br />Medium Core Defense Field Extender II<br />Medium Core Defense Field Extender II<br /><br />Loki Engineering - Power Core Multiplier<br />Loki Electronics - Emergent Locus Analyzer<br />Loki Propulsion - Fuel Catalyst<br />Loki Defensive - Adaptive Shielding<br />Loki Offensive - Covert Reconfiguration<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
