Pretty nice all around fit. Those invulns aren't cheap but I expect you know that. A 4th BCS wouldn't hurt. Nor a faction afterburner. |

Wut. I loaded that fit into EFT and got the same defense but 575 dps (with max skills). |

HINT 1 : "volley damage" <> "DPS". A Nighthawk can use more BCSs than a Drake while still maintaining a reasonable tank (passive preferably, but active works too, but then again if you go active you should really also use an afterburner), and it has more DPS output even with the same BCS count (assuming you're not stupid enough to fly it with L1 command ships or other such nonsense). HINT 2 : a passively tanked, T2 active hardener NH will run pretty much any L4 just fine, and costs you under a quarter bil ISK. To the OP : faction invuls are for really, really, REALLY lazy people. They give you a worse mission-specific tank than active T2s (with very few exceptions) and cost truckloads of ISK. So, in order to save 15-30 seconds on each mission (time needed to swap the hardeners), you are willing to lower your mission-specific tanked amount AND spend nearly 1 bil extra ? Well, your choice, I guess. Personally, I avoid invuls for missions like the plague, and so should you... I mean, unless you are (for god knows what reason) running missions while at war or out of highsec. And even then, you'd use T2 invuls, not faction invuls, you don't want to be a pinata that's TOO tasty, now do you ? |

No, you can't.
well ok a slight exaggeration, volley ok, 2000 dps constant tho' easily, fit the correct weapons, a Nightmare is the most damage dealing BS in EVE, correctly fitted that is.... OOOPS, just realised your talking about the Nighthawk lol, *crawls off into a corner* That'll teach me for coming on the forums after a night out still drunk..... |

Meh. I actually like having one on my Cerb but that is for being really, really, REALLY lazy on L3s. And L2s. (If you've never tried a CN BCUd Cerb with AMLs for L2s you're missing out. It's one of the funniest things you've seen in EVE.) On a NH, though.... Yeah. Just go with specific tanks. It's not like it takes that long to swap out and people already suspect you of having enough spendy mods on there so you might as well do yourself a favor and not be a complete magnet for a suicide gank. |

I think something is wrong with your EFT. No way a Nighthawk can do that much damage, especially with HMLs. I got 575dps with max skills, up to 635 with some implants. |

I have just tried the fit and get 814 defence, 574 and 2641 volley and thats without implants. Only thing wrong is my cap will die at 10 minutes but a set of implants would sort that so he isnt lying. |

This is what I use to solo most of the Serpentis missions. It uses the mixture of speed, range and passive regeneration and resists to tank. Works against angel as well, just not that good because of missilespam. The hardeners are specific. Love that setup. Its fast and ganky to fly, and does deal a great amount of damage (considering many passive NH fits)

I get over 800 DPS on my NH with all V + implants + drones, so yes it's possible. |

How much dps form a Drake I wonder,with all those same implants and 5's. |

Its ok trem i knew i was right, some of these guys on this forum need to look and think before posting.
But anyhow @ Atika - Yeah i agree mate about invuls tbh i dunno i just ajusted a previous set up i had and just left them there cause most of the time i will fit a rat specific hardner/s. Also i already have the CN invuls so not really haveing to splash out to much. |

Whaaa whaaa whaaa!!! Drake is better then NH, NH is better then Drake...
I've been flying me NH forever... simple T2 setup is more then sufficient (even though i've pimped it a lil now with some nice CN gear)
I tried Drake, i tried a Golem even... I didn't like them... so... i climbed back in my NH and all was well. |

I'd drop the dc for another bcu  and no need for the crystal implants, a set of +5s will do just fine. and I did just get 800 dps with all lv 5 and implants. 785dps with spec 4, which is pretty much what I have, only in battleship launchers, never much liked the medium sized ships. |

EFT IS fubar. The EFT settings never seem to be a reality in the actual fittings. Some items are but so many are way way off... |

Name several that were ever reported as bugged and were still bugged the following EFT version(s). Name several that ARE bugged right now, in the current version, and describe exactly how you believe it's bugged. If you can name some, it will most likely either be stuff that has some very obscure in-game function... but more often, you will discover that no, the item itself isn't bugged in EFT, but instead you simply either didn't know what the item actually does, or worse, you have no clue how to use EFT and instead of trying to figure it out you give up and go "EFT screws up too often" even if it isn't true. EFT is pretty damn accurate, and it's getting more and more accurate as time goes on. Claiming EFT gets a lot of stuff wrong (without backing that claim up with facts) doesn't really get you any points with anybody that matters. ___ Back to the issue of the thread... People, seriously, active-tanked Nighthawk can be nice... but it's pretty much pointless to active-fit it WITHOUT an afterburner to just drag along the area, and it's nasty to load in Fury ammo due to the sig radius penalty. If you're going to be slow and huge, you might as well fit a passive tank, at least it's dirt cheap that way, and you're not really missing anything from the active fit. |
