This page runs in detail through the thought-process lying behind the development of one ship fit in a group, [[Doctrines|doctrinal]] context. For basic principles of fitting useful for new players developing fits for their own individual use, see [[fitting ships]]. | |||
The bonuses of the particular hull discussed below, the [[Tempest]], have changed over time; it now has additional buffer-tanking bonuses which were absent when this guide was written. The finer details of the fit and its modules might (or might not) change today. However, the page does not seek to explain how to fit a Tempest, but rather how to gather information about good fits and how to navigate the trade-offs involved in fit design in general | |||

We'll start in Pyfa (or EFT), by fitting a few basics to our empty Tempest then. The balance between tank and damage is important, I personally prefer to fit tank first, so I can ensure the ship will actually stay alive longer than a few seconds. | We'll start in Pyfa (or EFT), by fitting a few basics to our empty Tempest then.

We'll probably want to fit a prop mod of some sort to get around the battlefield. I personally prefer ABs on my brawling battleships, though some use MWDs. The downside to the MWD is it has a big drawback to your capacitor pool (-25%) with most MWDs up to T2. You are also prone to being scrammed and having your MWD shut off. On the flipside, ABs are much slower. After we've stuck a prop mod on, we need to decide a few other things in our mids. Usually, for this type of fit, we'll have several 'refits' for our mid slots that are designed to be switched around depending on what you are fighting. For now, we'll add a scram (for tackle or [[Propulsion_equipment#Micro_Jump_Field_Generator|boosh]] resistance), a [[Electronic_warfare# | We'll probably want to fit a prop mod of some sort to get around the battlefield.

I'll also add some refit mods to the cargohold just in case. The reason we fit these is that they apply additional pressure to our enemy and in reality, what else are we going to fit there? You could fit something like a Tracking Computer if you wish though. | ||
