Fitting ships: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

Generally, the more tasks you want a fit to do the worse it performs at each particular task. Some ships have very specific uses: a Venture mining frigate is not very helpful in either PvE or PvP combat.

But even a combat ship will almost certainly need different fits for PvE and PvP, because, for example, in PvP you usually receive a lot more damage in a much more limited time than in PvE, and enemy players, unlike NPCs, need to be [[~~Tackling 101 Guide~~|prevented from warping away]]. Even within PvP the same ship can have one fit for close-range brawling in a small gang and a completely different fit for fighting at longer ranges in a large fleet.

But even a combat ship will almost certainly need different fits for PvE and PvP, because, for example, in PvP you usually receive a lot more damage in a much more limited time than in PvE, and enemy players, unlike NPCs, need to be [[Tackling_Guide|prevented from warping away]]. Even within PvP the same ship can have one fit for close-range brawling in a small gang and a completely different fit for fighting at longer ranges in a large fleet.

Of course, there are dangers in over-specialisation too, especially when you're not working with other players. If you're going to exploit a low-class wormhole while solo you want your ship to deal and tank damage, launch probes, and maybe cloak so that you can hide if you see a gang of enemies on your [[Directional Scanner Guide|directional scanner]].
