UPDATE: Fought Damaviks and Kiki rooms now. Enemy Kiki couldn't get in range at 18km orbit! Damaviks with or without drones, not enough damage to worry about.
UPDATE 2: Guess that first Kiki was lazy. Next time I fought one --it pounced on me instantly.
In Feb lost a Kiki due to not knowing about manual piloting, in T1 Gamma. Ate shots from a Tyrannos in the 3rd room after two Kiki/Vedmak rooms.
Anyways, avoided them until now.
Just completed 3 T1 Darks!
DARK: Less shield on enemies = less time taking spool dmg from Tri enemies. More speed = more speed tank.
Observations:
Few months worth of skills was a game changer:
- - Evasive Maneuvering 3 --> 5
- - Precursor Destroyer 3 --> 5
- - Small Precursor Wep - 4 --> 5
- - Armor Compensation (all types) - 0 --> 3 or 4
- - Small Disintegrator Specialization - 1--> 3
- - Controlled bursts 4 --> 5
Others that don't help a lot, but useful - afterburner/fuel conservation, Cap/PG skills.
In the interim, been running combat sites (sigs/anoms/escalations up to 4/10 with Kiki). Learned how to control range, manual pilot, etc.
Bank. More than 10x what it was. Now a loss is annoying, not crushing.
Attempt 1: All three rooms had 6 frigates each. Made the SAR work but I was fine. Honestly, I was really anxious/worried about bad spawns, so I just used Meson while I webbed targets. From a combat perspective - garbage. But, it worked, I lived.
Attempt 2: One BS, One BS + two frigs, six frigs
Attempt 3: One BS, other two rooms I forget. Nothing dangerous anyways (neut/web).
Fit: (Brought Occult in case). Tetryon is plenty to kill the BS spawns; 517 DPS with my skills + implants, basic tier 3 stuff in case this clone dies.
