{{hatnote|This page describes the general recommendations and considerations for fitting a Remote Repair (RR) Battleship. RR Battleships are generally used in PvP fleets, often with smaller ships in support roles. For a description of the operational and tactical procedures while flying in an RR Battleship Fleet, or "RR Gang", please see [[Spider tanking]].}} | |||

While the recommendations and considerations in this page might also be applied to other ship classes, this is not common practice and this page is limited to Tech 1 Battleship fittings. | While the recommendations and considerations in this page might also be applied to other ship classes, this is not common practice and this page is limited to Tech 1 Battleship fittings. | ||

The Armageddon is less cap intensive and has a large drone bay, along with a spare highslot which accepts a Remote Repair very well. The Armageddon is also very cheap, thus making it an excellent choice. However, the Abaddon has an armor resist bonus but is extremely cap hungry. The Abaddon has an extra mid slot, and better fitting attributes, justifying the extra cost involved. | ||

The Maelstrom is not suitable for RR fleets due to its lack of low slots. The '''Tempest''' is decent and has an extra mid slot. The '''Typhoon''' is often preferred, with its better fitting attributes, and ability to fit torpedoes. Torpedoes have the advantage over autocannons of being able to apply more DPS up to 17 to 20 KM, depending on the pilot's skills. Furthermore, while the Tempest only has a 75m3 drone bay, and matching bandwidth, the Typhoon has 125 bandwidth and a whopping 175m3 bay, giving it more utility. | The Maelstrom is not suitable for RR fleets due to its lack of low slots.

However, remember that the Tempest has instant damage application and a wider engagement range with T2 ammunition and greater speed, which makes it a bit better for situations where you are not shooting a hostile Battleship fleet. | ||

Caldari really don't have any good options. The '''Raven''' needs to dedicate all of its low slots to fit the standard tank, while sacrificing a trimark for an ancillary current router. The only real saving grace is that it has 6 mids: even after fitting the MWD and cap booster, it can provide some utility with tackle and target-painting. | Caldari really don't have any good options.

It is often the obvious primary target with a low tank, while being forced to come into close range to receive RR from other battleships is a bad combination if the ECM cannot jam enough of the hostile ships. It can have the option of staying at long range, preventing it from receiving remote reps, but which some enemy fleets will have difficulty reaching. | ||

Although T2 or high meta is not strictly required, higher is better in this case. Many people prefer the 'Solace' meta 4 repper, as it repairs nearly as much as the T2 module, but has lighter fitting requirements. | Although T2 or high meta is not strictly required, higher is better in this case.

Having a big buffer is important as it gives your gang mates time to lock you, and start repping. On top of that resists are highly desired as they increase to effectiveness of the repairs received. In most places, the standard fitting is 1 DC II, 2x 1600mm RT plates and 2x resist mods (EANM and/or ANP), but some like to add a third plate there for extra buffer to give your friends extra time to lock. The Abaddon is sometimes an exception since it gets a very good built in resistance bonus, so they can afford to drop to only 1 resist mod, but most prefer to use 2 of them anyway. | Having a big buffer is important as it gives your gang mates time to lock you, and start repping.
