TAG!

Well, time for my own Abyss guide. Because why not :)

Temp notepad:
50 runs of tier - ISK earned
T0 - 35M
T1 - 140M
T2 - 300M
T3 - 650M
T4 - 1.5B
T5 - 3.4B

General idea - take a ship, make 50 runs, and that will give you enough ISK to upgrade for another Tier. Should work? Maybe not? Don't know yet :)


Why?

Well, there are several good guides, I might as well make a Terrible one. Initial idea was to use Caldari missile ships and go for different Tiers in different ship sizes - but that doesn't really work as I'd like it, as when you go up a tier and also up a ship size, it gets more difficult, but not more profitable. So preferably you'd skip Tiers, but that's a bad idea - progression jumps way too hard, and I find it risky (as my friend said: "Too chicken for that")

The plan has changed then - to use only one ship 'family' - Caldari Cruisers with HAMs - and have progression going up in step-by-step way. I 'think' that Caracal -> Caracal Navy -> Cerberus offers good enough progression, so let's try to make it :)

Why would you run T0s in Caracal?
Well, good question, and I wouldn't - but it's a first step. Other missile ships do not have 'clean' progression, and I tried Abyss in Caldari Cruisers, going up step by step. Feel free to skip whatever step you don't like.

Running this one, given you have decent skills (and decent skills are generally needed - aim for IV in whatever looks like it fits) is super easy. Orbit cache (you might send drones to kill it), web stuff, shoot stuff, done. Fit is cap stable, and should have no issues at all in T0. Along the way start upgrading your fit towards T1 - when you feel like you're ready, go to T1 :)

Notable spawns:

  • Ephialtes - will stay out of your web range - ram it. Just like that, Approach it with everything on, web it, kill it.
  • Skybreaker - will mangle your drones if you are too close. Recall drones, web it, kill it.
  • Orange cloud of Cap Issues - if you're inside you need to watch your cap. And do not run your Shield Booster all the time.

But it is bad!
This is just an evolution of T0 fit. It does have some upgrades though:

  • Faction Drones and Ammo - as we need DPS. As much DPS as possible
  • Faction Shield Booster - it's better, and we need it for T2 anyway
  • T2 rigs - as we need PG

It does need more time per run - assume that you need 50%-100% more to complete a run than T0s. So if you get T0 runs over 10:00 - get better missile skilss, or you'll race the clock.

It flies almost the same as T0, with one exception - way less cap. It HAS TO be cap stable, to make easier runs - but if you enocunter Neuts (rare in T1, but can happen) or Orange Cloud start switching your booster on and off - you'll need it anyway for higher tiers

Profitabliy: Poopy. It is less profitable than T0 fit, if you collect only Bioadaptive Caches. Treat it as training excercise - we'll get to better runs later :)

Notable spawns:

  • Leshak - orbit at 10km, and he won't hit you. Will move around, watch for red wall.
  • Vila whatever - ignore swarmers completely, they can't hit anything.
  • Karybdis Tyrannos - orbit at 15km and shoot with all you got.
  • Tessera (drone BC) - will try to kill your drones. If you're not redboxed - recall
  • 3x Devoted Hunter - stay at range. They will hurt a bit, but if you remove them fast it will be ok.
