<br>
In following guide (and "guide" is a big word - it won't be as detailed as similar guides) I will walk you through my idea of Gila viable for Alpha pilots.
<br><br>
The reason for this guide was lack of concrete information - we always say "Alphas can use Gila for T3", but I haven't seen any fit, guide or testing done to confirm that. It might be available somewhere, but instead of looking I decided to do this myself :) Fun!
 
== Fit description ==
Fit is based on Povertila - most commonly used Gila for for [[Abyssal Deadspace]]. The fit claims that it can run up to T4s, but doesn't mention pilot skills - I assumed minimum SP spent (later section talks about it more), Alpha clone state and not perfect pilot skills. This forced me to modify the fit a bit.
 
=== Base ===
Paste base Povertila with Max-Alpha skills
<br><br>
Performance of this fit for Alpha pilots, even with max skills, is not the best. Due to lack of engineering skills the fit is not cap stable - which forces me to run Electrical weather exclusively. That's not bad 'per se', but is a limiting factor that I needed to take into account. I tried to modify this fit as little as possible though, because it means that all guides/strategies will be still valid.

Due to fit working only in Electrical weather, and being Alpha-friendly by design, I made following changes:
* Shield Boost Amplifier - changed T2 (which Alphas cannot use) to Faction - increases price a bit, but improves our Tank, which is very good
* Rigs - since we're running Electricals, no need for CCC rigs. Instead we can get more tank
* NOS - I do not like NOS personally. It's not always working, and counting on it is risky. Swapped it to Drone Link Augmentor, which helps with poor Alpha drone range due to lack of skills
* Implants - two 3% Hardwirings: EE-603 is required (can be omitted if you have good skills), EM-803 helps a bit with capacitor. Not strictly required, but always handy
* Meta Launchers - I wanted to limit SP required to fly the fit, and Missiles are not your main DPS - downgrading to Meta is feasible
All this changes make the fit work with skills I have planned, and do not make it 'that' much more expensive :)

== Strategy ==
That's a tough one. I ave very limited experience, so I can't really give you good guide about flying Gila. But I can show you a good guide :)
 
Link Abyss tracker Povertila
 
Link Uriel
 
== Upgrades ==
With proper upgrades it is feasible to reach stats good enough to run T4s. It's expensive, much harder, and not 100% tested (yet), so do it at your own risk :)
 
=== Fit ===
First struggle for T4s is DPS. We need absolutely maximum that we can squeeze out of Alpha alt, which means:
* We drop Damage Control, and instead we use Drone Damage Amplifier
* All DDAs are replaced to Faction variant
* Additionally, we swap Meta Launchers to T2 - we really need Rage Missile, in order to beat high EHP rooms fast enough
* Since we got rid of Damage Control, Shield Boosters should be upgraded to Pithum B-type, to recover lost tanking abilities
 
=== Implants ===
We also need extra implants:
* Mid-grade Crystal, Alpha to Delta (minimum) or Epsilon (preferred)
* Slot 6 - CPU implant (???)
* 3% Hardwirings for missile weapons
 
=== Skills ===
You guessed it - we need maximum that we can get. In order of priority:
* T2 Launchers
* Drone support skills
* Launchers support skills
* Everything else
