Electronic attack ships are mobile, resilient electronic warfare platforms. Although well suited to a variety of situations, they really come into their own in skirmish and fleet encounters, particularly against larger ships. For anyone wanting to decentralize their fleet’s electronic countermeasure capabilities and make them immeasurably harder to counter, few things will serve better than a squadron or two of these little vessels.

Developer: Viziam

Viziam ships are quite possibly the most durable ships money can buy. Their armor is second to none and that, combined with superior shields, makes them hard nuts to crack. Of course this does mean they are rather slow and possess somewhat more limited weapons and electronics options.

SHIP BONUSES

Amarr Frigate Skill Bonus:
20% bonus to energy vampire and energy neutralizer transfer amount per level and 7.5% bonus to effectiveness of tracking disruptors per level
Electronic Attack Ships Skill Bonus:
80% bonus to energy vampire and energy neutralizer range per level, 5% reduction in capacitor recharge time per level

Summary

Note: All Electronic Attack Ships will be modified with Rubicon expansion. The information below will no longer be valid after the release of Rubicon.

The Sentinel is sometimes known as the 'mini-Curse'. Like the Curse is gets a bonus to energy neutraliser and nosferatu amount, and a massive bonus to range, allowing it to use small neuts out to 25-30k. Its other bonuses are 5% per level to TDs (the other factor in common with its Amarr Recon counterparts), and the EAS bonus to capacitor (which is particularly good on this hull, since neutralisers are quite cap hungry themselves).

The Sentinel is missing any sort of drone bonus and this means that, since the highs are usually dedicated to cap warfare mods, the damage output is low at best. Again in Amarr drone boat fashion the drone bay is huge (60 m3 - surpassed only by the Astero), but this is balanced by only a 20 Mbit/sec bandwidth. The total then is 3 flights of 4 light drones (most fits are 2 flights of damage and 1 of ECM).

When you add ~20km small neuts, the damage mitigation of bonused TDs, and the ability to bring EWAR drones without sacrificing flexibilty you get an extremely versatile package. This leads to a reputation as a solopwnmobile, able to bring most enemy frigates and some cruisers to their knees by draining them of capacitor.

The Sentinel is useful solo and in small gangs, but is less useful in larger fleets where chances are most targets will be dead from damage before neuting them has much effect. The Sentinel makes a poor dedicated tracking disruption platform, since the Crucifier is superior at this role at a fraction of the price.

NOTES
  • A tentative fit for the Rubicon expansion
  • With all skills at V and before boosts, this ship should have about 4.9 K EHP, fly close to 1000 m/s (1300 m/s with AB overheated) and align in 6.5 s (4.5 s with AB off). The capacitor is stable.
  • Should be able to leach about 42 GJ/s at 38 km.
  • Damage is 79 dps from the drones.
  • Without using scripts, each Tracking disruptor reduces optimal, falloff and tracking by about 33%.


Tactics
