The fits we have on the wiki are specifically tailored to suit our normal kitchen sink fleets, so that we don't have to cherry-pick ships to get a functioning fleet. For example that's why all battleships have a sensor booster and at least one web for vanguards, why we ensure that people have a solid tank and range projection in assaults sites. Naturally there is room for improvement here, based on the fleet composition. | The fits we have on the wiki are specifically tailored to suit our normal kitchen sink fleets, so that we don't have to cherry-pick ships to get a functioning fleet.

If the fleet has lots of '''Vindicators''' with bonused webs you could perhaps have some of the other ships refit to target painters, double sensor boosters or more tracking computers, perhaps even long ranged turrets like Tachyons and Artillery. Just make sure that you have enough webs to cover all primary targets, that you don't compromise the tank too much and remember to adjust back if your fleet composition changes. | ||
In assaults you can allow experienced pilots the freedom to fit for short range and a microwarpdrive, allowing them to roam about and web things down. This of course assumes that utility cap is available or that the pilot is skilled enough to be able to keep himself from capping out. You can also allow for high skilled players to take off their large shield extenders in favour of a tracking computer, if their resists are high enough and their base shield hit points are within acceptable limits. | In assaults you can allow experienced pilots the freedom to fit for short range and a microwarpdrive, allowing them to roam about and web things down.
