Scythe
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES
|
The Scythe-class cruiser remains the oldest Minmatar ship still in use. It has seen many battles and is an integrated part in Minmatar tales and heritage. With its redesign, past firmware upgrades or mining output were tossed out entirely in favor of two new separate systems that focused on shield transporting and logistics drones respectively.

Summary
The Scythe is a T1 logistics cruiser, with bonuses to shield repair. It is designed to support 3 medium shield transporters and a shield tank and be cap stable, but getting the Scythe both cap stable and have a good tank can be tricky for low skilled pilots.

- Cheap low-skill fitting that should be cap stable as long as the MW is off. If you pay for rigs and/or train up, you can add a third shield repper, repair drones, and swap out the cap mods for utility lows and a bigger shield tank.

- Change the resist rig and hardeners depending on what kind of rats you tend to fight. This fit is set up to tank Serpentis rats.
- Orbit the DD ships at 15-20 km with afterburner on to keep your speed up. You can speed/sig tank most damage in all but the hardest sites.
- This is a very useful fit to train an alt to run. Level 4 missions and difficult sites can easily be soloed. The Scythe can speed and sig tank for a long time if you make sure to clear cruisers and webbing frigates first.
- This setup repairs 936 shield HP per cycle, or about 1.5x the repair amount of a XL Shield Booster II.
