I really enjoy your videos and this series in particular. One piece of advice you can take or leave. Use the "look at" feature to look at enemy ships you're hitting. It's a nice cinematic you can use, and most importantly, CCP has done quite a bit of work on ship explosions..zoom in on a few ships you've destroyed as they blow up..
Love that ship, just my 2 cents to fit this beast for missions, specific hardeners always better that multispectrum for mission running, use an active hardener and 1 amplifier for the specific damage and swap 1 coil for a damage control and you still capstable and better EHP
I always just go multispec for these videos for sake of being a lazy sod. Dedicated matched hardeners for the exact NPC you're facing is a bit better.😎
I really liked and found this guide handy, but I'm wondering about a few things. The first thing is if rapid light launchers are better for tier 3 missions, because of the smaller explosion radius, because I thought enemy ships are still too small during tier 3 missions. Woudnt it be better to use shield boost amplifier that multispectrum shield hardener, because the boost amplifier would give you 32% more hp compared to 27% overall resistances? The other thing is if I can remove some of my skills as an alpha clone, because I trained everything to the max, but then I found out that alpha clones have limited training, so I just have about a week of training + 1 milion of skillpoints left. And last think, when making my own ship, i have choosen gnosis. was it a mistake? For example for shields i have large booster II and one shield boost amplifier, and i have less shield boost than you. i have all shield skills on max for alpha clone. I can probably still sell my gnosis and buy a Cyclone, but i think that i need your help.
Rapid Light Missile launchers are still a viable choice for Level 3 missions, I just personally find the 35 second reload time too long(!) I don't think the ship needs any extra shield boosting; it already gets 7.5% more rep per ship skill level and another buff from the active shielding charge in the command burst, with my skills that results in the large rep providing 111hp/s repair. If you do want to change to a boost amp then you end up with 151hp/s rep but the resistances fall to only 27/41/56/64 which is a bit low for my liking, especially if you fight any NPC that do EM and thermal damage! Alpha-clone training queue stops running at 5 million skillpoints, but they can use injectors, daily AIR tasks, events, log-in rewards and all other sources of Unallocated skillpoints to manually train their skills all the way up to the skill caps (which ends up somewhere around 20 million skillpoints in total) You can extract skillpoints but only if you have a minimum of 5.5million in total; you suck out 500,000 skillpoints and when you convert that extractor into an injector and use it, you will lose some of that skillpoints in the process so it's not really worth it, it's usually cheaper to just buy an injector and leave your skills as they are. You'll find a use for those skills at some point. Gnosis is a good ship for rookies, as it requires no training and has decent trait bonuses. But those trait bonuses are fixed and do not increase with skills, unlike most other ships. So once you get to around Level 3 in whatever race's Battlecruiser skills you are training, you'll probably end up outperforming that Gnosis. Gnosis do also benefit from having bonuses to just about everything, from shields to armour and basically all the weapons systems, so they're versatile. 😎😎
Alpha can train up to Heavy Assault Missile Specialisation 3, Warhead Upgrades 3 and Rapid Launch 4, so they're not totally hamstrung in using HAMS. They can also go up to level 4 on Minmatar Battlecruiser😎
Not sure what skills you may or may not have at max to let the fit work but you could fit a compact MWD or compact shield booster and that should save 34 pg🤔
@@eXalf Polarized would be a challenge! With 0% resists across the board, we'd have to rely on insanely high rep rate and massive damage......may play with that in a special video at some point!🤔😅😅
