So I'm getting a solo pvp command ship. The obvious choice for me is the Sleipnir. Now the thing is, you get that nice falloff bonus. Most fittings I find though rely on 3 gyros, only 1 TE and no speed rigs/mods. Sure, the base speed is fine compared to other Command Ships, but if you fly solo and get tackled by anything faster that you can't mid neut to death, you're **** out of luck.

A standard HG Crystal Sleipnir with 1 TE and no speed mods would get me (CS skill 4) ca 1200 dps burst tank (Dread Guristas XL), 1300 m/s and 660 dps with EMP @19 falloff or 525 dps with Barrage @29 falloff. All of this without heat and drones.

A HG Slave (+other speed imps) Sleipnir with 1 TE, 1 nanofiber and 1 polycarb rig would get me ca 790 dps burst tank, 1950 m/s and the same range with 590 dps EMP, 470 dps Barrage, except if I drop the polycarb for an ambit extension.

Imho if you have to tank 1200 dps you are probably alreads scrammed/web or in a similar situation where even double the tank couldn't save your sorry ass. Whereas with the nano fit you can avoid that situation and have a far greater advantage in truly being able to pick your fights - even after they have begun.

What's your take on that?

Use jump clones and buy two sleips so you don't have to compromise on the rigs. Fly the snaked one for fast hac gang goodness and the crystal fit for baiting.

If you want to run away, buy a vagabond/cynabal instead. Anything but a crystal set is heresy for a slephnir/maelstrom/vargur. Just my take on it though.

Get a guardian with cap transfer in gang and fit 100mn mwd and 180mm AC's with buffer shield, focus on agility, and see your 8km/sec sleipnir tacklemobile in action. Nomad set would be great for it.

I would stick with Crystals. You should not have issues with tacklers.

It's nano fit not ******ed wow 700 dps tank that makes a ship solo pvp viable. And the 100mn mwd sleip you can even run solo with if you burst your mwd. You either nano it like there's no tomorrow or listen to these ******s talking about ACTIVE TANKS in SOLO pvp :))

That's the point moron, i did, you didnt so you can stop talking out of your ass. That's why i said nomad and t2 rigs with 5% agility hardwirings. Now pls go back to missioning and stay off the big boys forum.

Why do these ******s post stupid awnsers like if you have to ask you shouldn't fly it?
What a load of *******s.
Everyone has to fly a ship for the first time some day or other.
It's always nice to ask what other people think and get some knowledge off people who have a lot of experiance in the ship your about to step up too.

Cos you and up with setups from comic books that why.

Simple you ‘can’ fly ship go to:

http://www.eveonline.com/patches/patches.asp?s=singularity&test=&system=win

And try all set up you want.

Or go to: http://www.battleclinic.com/

But honestly if you are about to fly sleipnir you are suposed to know at least what the ship is made for no? Rolling Eyes

Now if you want to tell the guy to fit 100 MW and scream jihad go on +1.

It gets a SB bonus AND a falloff bonus combined with a decent base speed. So why on earth isn't it worth thinking about boosting the speed further, making use of the falloff bonus more efficiently and mitigating damage as well that way? I DO know most Sleipnirs aren't nano'd and go with crystals+blue pill. Just saying for range kiting a non implant bonused SB that can "only" get you to slightly above 1k with pill and heat might be viable.

Only 2 people actually answered to that thought. You come up with a Logi+100MWD idea when the OP is about solo work.

So what else you need to know? Try it on test and see what will perform better.

'You come up with a Logi+100MWD idea when the OP is about solo work.' You shore ‘I’ came with that. Rolling Eyes

I point something important from your post: 'crystals+blue pill'

Start there and the fit will just be crystal clear.

a 100mn mwd slep with all nano's agility implants and nomads with tech 2 rigs aligns in 18.6 secs and goes 6700m/s on o/h, good luck using that in a fight

I stopped reading after this...solo & command ship? Seems like an oxymoron tbh Razz Aren't these supposed to be fleet/gang ships? Wouldn't you just be better off solo'ing in a bc?

its maths and balls.

A cheaper cane will be X% as effective, no doubt a well fit sleipnir will be better defence and offence and proably speed.

Whether that extra power over the cane is worth the extra isk and bullet magnetness is upto the pilot.

Rich and ballsy? get a sleip
Poor and reckless? stay with the canes

EDIT: worth noting here that snakes will make a normal cane far better at a minimal risk of loosing the implants in lowsec.

Afaik noone asked for a Claymore or Vulture. Try watching the rocket witchcraft/wizardrdy/bla to see an example of CS solo pvp...NH though.

Actually sleipnir is pretty strong solo pvp ship. But yes cane will do well in solo pvp.

You're right, nobody who just called you horrible has any eve knowledge whatsoever.

Also you're wrong, hurricanes are only good when super dual tanked and the highs stuffed with nothing but salvagers and a civilian railgun. Drones for dps.
