Ships Type-7 PvE Combat Build

Yure · Nov 6, 2018

Recently bought this thing for exploration. I loved it so much I'm thinking of making a toy combat version. Theorycrafting here; If you wanted to make a combat build on this, how would you make it?

...though I'm sure a long range FSD would be fine.

Well, that sacrifices around 3200MJ armor for about 900MJ in shields.

It's meant as a PvE boat. I'd remove even more armor to be fair. But sure, it's a trade off.

WOW! Frag canons, wasn't expecting that.

How about a hostage rescue boat. Think it could work?

Haha, fair enough, it IS overkill, for most stuff anyhow.
But I don't know, wing missions etc?

Frags are great.
It mostly depends on the pilot, but sure.

Yeah I've tried frags a few times. I am definitely one of those guys that can't aim with them despite being point blank.

I also think I lose a lot of DPS when I'm not able to stick any closer than that.

So with this build do you just ram and shoot at the same time?

The T-7 has a nice boost and it yaws great, though the speed leaves one wanting more. Hence why I'm not sure frags would work well. How about the powerplay frag?

If you find a way to squeeze a c3 Pacifier into a c1 slot, PM me

I fly an FGS with efficient PAs all the time.
Boost speed(FGS a little slower) and shot speed(PAs a little faster) are pretty similar.
NPCs will usually fly right at you, so just let them close the distance.

"Feed them" as I've heard it said.
