== The Golden Rules == | |||
'''DON'T MIX GUNS'''<br>Why not | |||
*Mixed optimals | |||
*Reduced dps at any given range | |||
*Neither one thing or the other | |||
'''DON'T MIX TANKS'''<br>Why not | |||
*Reduced efficiency of each tank | |||
*Better to be great at one than mediocre at both | |||
'''Real Men Hull Tank'''<br>Why it is daft | |||
*No safety margin | |||

'''Stacking Penalties'''<br> | |||
''' | |||
Apply to modules that are affecting the same ship stat, ie speed, agility, Damage, Rate of Fire<br> | |||
the more modules the add the less each module does<br> | |||
as a general rule of thumb,try not to use more than 3 modules that affect one stat, is 2 ODI and 1 Nano, but not 2 ODI and 2 Nano<br> | |||

== | ==Utility Mods== | ||
Modules you can fit to provide useful bonuses to the ship<br> | |||
(Sensor Booster, Tracking Computer)<br> | |||
Sensor Boosters (sebos) improve lock time and lock range<br> | |||
scripts are available to increase just one of these attributes (either locking time OR range)<br> | |||
Tracking Computers<br> | |||
Another scirtable module, improves tracking and optimal, like the tracking enhancer, but can be scriped to only apply one bonus. | |||
Stacking penalties apply when used with tracking enhancers | |||
Capacitor Mods<br> | |||
(cap Booster, cap recharger, cap battery)<br> | |||
These are mods that help your available cap levels, <br> | |||
either by increasing the size of the cap (cap battery), less commonly used than the other mods<br> | |||
increasing the recharge rate (cap recharger)<br> | |||
or adding cap in chunks (cap booster)<br> | |||
Cap rechargers<br> | |||
very useful in pve, less utility in pvp<br> | |||
+ can make a fit cap stable, passive module, so it is always running<br> | |||
- vulnerable to cap warfare (neuts, noses)<br> | |||
Cap Boosters<br> | |||
More used in pvp<br> | |||
+ active modules, only run when needed, can work even when having the cap drained, as it adds cap in chunks, rather than increasing recharge rate<br> | |||
- Takes ammo (cap booster 800), the cap chargers can take up lots of hold space<br> | |||
Fitting helper Modules<br> | |||
(micro auxillary power core, co-processor)<br> | |||
increase the amount of powergrid and cpu available to you, but at the cost of taking up a low slot<br> | |||
Try not avoid using fitting mods if you can, sometimes they are unavoidable though<br> | |||
== <br>Ship roles == | |||
Usually more a consideration for PVP, but a factor in determining a good pve ship to use<br>Determined by ship bonuses<br>(merlin, Blackbird, brutix) <br>tackle/ewar/DD | |||
=== fitting for roles === | |||
fit your role specific primary modules first for tackle <br>(mwd, web, scram, disrupt) <br>then fit around those core modules<br>(target painter, ecm) | |||
Next fit tank and guns, <br>fit additional modules (sebo, neuts) around your primary modules, tank and guns | |||
DCs for pvp!!!<br>pretty much the first thing fitted on any ship intended for pvp larger than a frigate<br>why | |||
*When active they provide Omni resist boosts for shield, armour and hull | |||
Mission specific hardeners for pve | |||
== Rigs == | |||
useful but expensive, <br>need to be sure you want to fit the rig as you can't unfit without destroying the rig<br>calibration and upgrade slots, <br>repackaging a ship destroys fitted rigs | |||
grid rigs<br>armor rigs<br>speed rigs<br>damage rigs | |||
skills to fit, getting a friend to fit for you | |||
drawbacks and penalties applied by different rigs | |||

What is it and where can you get it<br> | |||
[http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=548883&page=1 eft]<br> | |||
Why is it worth using<br> | |||
*Saves you money | |||
*allows you to get a better idea of a fits capabilities before you buy the parts | |||

don't be afraid to leave | Some ships have high slots that aren't turret hardpoints or missile bays, they are either one of the others or a "utility high" don't be afraid to leave these empty, don't compromise the role of the ship to fit an extra module just to fill a slot | ||
