Faction modules: Difference between revisions

Line 119:

Because of the predictability of missions, a cautious and experienced mission-runner has a chance of ''never'' losing their mission-running ship. Players who are setting themselves up for long-term high-level mission-running as a source of income, usually in a T1 battleship, a faction battleship, a [[Battleship#Marauders|marauder]] or a T3 [[Strategic_Cruiser|strategic cruiser]], are sometimes prepared to splash out on faction, deadspace or even officer fittings. They calculate that the greater speed with which their ship will run missions when faction-fitted will pay off the greater price in the long run.

As always, if you plan to do this you should use EFT to compare the benefits of the modules you're thinking of investing in. Sometimes fitting one or two faction modules which are key to the whole fit may be more cost-effective than fully faction-fitting your ship~~: for~~ example, you may be able to fit two faction modules which dramatically ~~increase~~ your tank~~, letting~~ you ~~use the~~ rig slots which would otherwise have been used to increase your ~~tank for damage rigs~~.

As always, if you plan to do this you should use EFT to compare the benefits of the modules you're thinking of investing in. Sometimes fitting one or two faction modules which are key to the whole fit may be more cost-effective than fully faction-fitting your ship. For example, you may be able to fit two faction tanking modules which dramatically reduce your tank's capacitor requirements -- then you can free up slots or rig slots, which would otherwise have been used to boost capacitor recharge, to increase your DPS instead, resulting in an overall faster mission completion time.

Remember, however, that faction-fitted mission-running ships are a target for suicide gankers, so -- depending on where and how conspicuously you run missions -- faction modules may increase your chances of losing your ship even while they make it more effective.
