TAG!

Well, time for my own Abyss guide. Because why not :)

Temp notepad:
50 runs of tier - ISK earned
T0 - 35M
T1 - 140M
T2 - 300M
T3 - 650M
T4 - 1.5B
T5 - 3.4B

General idea - take a ship, make 50 runs, and that will give you enough ISK to upgrade for another Tier. Should work? Maybe not? Don't know yet :)


Why?

Well, there are several good guides, I might as well make a Terrible one. Initial idea was to use Caldari missile ships and go for different Tiers in different ship sizes - but that doesn't really work as I'd like it, as when you go up a tier and also up a ship size, it gets more difficult, but not more profitable. So preferably you'd skip Tiers, but that's a bad idea - first of all, I'm not experienced in Abyss, so I can't test it myself :D

The plan has changed then - to use only one ship 'family' - Caldari Cruisers with HAMs - and have progression going up in step-by-step way. I 'think' that Caracal -> Caracal Navy -> Cerberus offers good enough progression, so let's try to make it :)

NOTES
  • T0 Dark - Chris Halsky.png


Why would you run T0s in Caracal?
Well, good question, and I wouldn't - but it's a first step. Other missile ships do not have 'clean' progression, and I tried Abyss in Caldari Cruisers, going up step by step. Feel free to skip whatever step you don't like.

Running this one, given you have decent skills (and decent skills are generally needed - aim for IV in whatever looks like it fits) is super easy. Orbit cache (you might send drones to kill it), web stuff, shoot stuff, done. Fit is cap stable, and should have no issues at all in T0. Along the way start upgrading your fit towards T1 - when you feel like you're ready, go to T1 :)

Notable spawns:

  • Ephialtes - will stay out of your web range - ram it. Just like that, Approach it with everything on, web it, kill it.
  • Stormbringer - will mangle your drones if you are too close. Recall drones, web it, kill it.
  • Orange cloud of Cap Issues - if you're inside you need to watch your cap. And do not run your Shield Booster all the time.

Step 2 - you'll hope for good spawn



Notable spawns:

  • Leshak - orbit at 10km, and he won't hit you. Will move around, watch for red wall.
  • Vila Damavik - ignore swarmers completely, they can't hit anything.
  • Karybdis Tyrannos - orbit at 15km and shoot with all you got.
