I just tanked a dual 1.1M serpentis BS spawn on the test server in a feroxphreak wrote:probably got within tracking of his guns. which is why you use missiles on it. besides, with the new tanking changes you can get a mad tank running on it. I need to get on the test server to test ideas, but from what i saw large shield extender 2s only take 165 power instead of 440 for +2100 shields. So i can fit a few without problems. A med extender II gives +840 and the grid usage is going down to 28PG or so. Hippo can probably toss it on his hawk and easily get 2000 shields on the thing. Only tradeoff is sig radius increase which makes you easier to hit, but i don't think that is a drastic incrase that would make an assault frig look like a battlecruiser or something.
setup:
5x Arbalest Heavy
2x Dual 150mm Prototype Gauss
2x LG Extender 2 (+4200 shields

1x Kinetic Hardener
1x Thermal Hardener
1x T2 Large shield booster
1x Beta PDU
2x Pandemonium BCU
1x Quantum CPU
My fitting skills are junk on Sisi since the mirror is a bit old. Heavy ROF is 7.99 seconds and they do about 220 unhardened per hit. Average hits against me were in the 40-70 range and my shields stayed around 1/3-1/2 and didn't really need to activate the booster much. Total shield strength is 8,760.7 which is rather insane
