Fitting ships: Difference between revisions

Now look at your ship's role. If your role is damage, you're probably already in good shape but start to consider tracking. If you are going to be shield tanking, by default you should be using two damage-increasing modules consistent with your weapons in the lows. You might end up with one, you might end up with three. But start with two. If you have more than four low slots and will be using guns, you'll probably want to fit at least one Tracking Enhancer module as well. If you are going to be armor tanking, by default you should have one damage-increasing module consistent with your weapons in the lows.

This also applies to ~~electronic warfare jamming~~ ships: if you are shield-tanking, fit two Signal Distortion Amplifiers. If you are armor-tanking, try to find room for one. This is generally a good rule of thumb for enhancing the damage or the other effects that your ship puts out.

This also applies to ECM ships: if you are shield-tanking, fit two Signal Distortion Amplifiers. If you are armor-tanking, try to find room for one. This is generally a good rule of thumb for enhancing the damage or the other effects that your ship puts out.

Finally, armor-tanking gun-ships with lots of mid-slots should consider a Tracking Computer in one or perhaps two of them.

Nearly all PvP ships should give a single mid slot over to a propulsion module, something to increase your ship's speed. ~~And nearly always, this should be~~ a ~~meta~~ Microwarpdrive. ~~The extra speed is worth this module's many down-sides~~.

Nearly all PvP ships should give a single mid slot over to a propulsion module, something to increase your ship's speed. You must choose between a [[Microwarpdrive]] (MWD) or [[Afterburner]] (AB). A MWD allows greater manoeuvrability which makes them more commonly fit. However ABs are popular on brawling armor ships as they enhance their natural signature tank and cannot be shut off with by warp scramblers (often found at close ranges).

~~Nearly all~~ PvP ships should give a single mid slot to a tackle module of some type. For ~~scout~~, primary damage, and screen ships this should nearly always be a long point, a Warp Disruptor module of some kind. Ships in a tackle role should usually fit a Warp Scrambler module of some kind. Ships in other roles can forgo tackle modules.

Most PvP ships should give a single mid slot to a tackle module of some type. For [[skirmishers]] (specialised scouts), primary damage, and screen ships this should nearly always be a long point, a Warp Disruptor module of some kind. Ships in a tackle role should usually fit a Warp Scrambler module of some kind. Ships in other roles can forgo tackle modules.
