I start off with a new series of posts from me here:

“Anatomy of a spaceship…” – here i will talk about some new bought ships, fittings and their stats.

Our first AOAS is the (since Dominion more,) beloved “Dramiel”- Frigate class ship.

The Dramiel

The Dramiel is the most long-standing and often-used ship design in the Angel Cartel’s vast repertoire of vessels. A frigate workhorse if ever there was one, this sharp-tusked, dangerous beauty can sting unimaginably hard if one is not prepared for its assault.

The Dramiel. This gorgeus little frigate, looking fierce with it’s two sharp “nails” coming out of it’s body. I saw this ship often down in Providence, mostly flown by hostiles as a fast tackle ship, but also as a brutal solo frigate ripping mostly frigates and cruisers into pieces.

I have to own one too.

So yesterday i looked up the contracts around The Forge and found a “cheap” offer for 75 Mil. ISK. Few weeks ago the average price was around 85 Mil., so i bought it now or never.

There we go, – 75 MILLION ISKies for a frigate, but a smile on my face. The next thing to do is the fitting. I stumbled around for some fittings, looked at some losses of the high respected Genos Occidere, checked Battleclinic Loadouts, and soon i realized that i won’t  have to use a Micro Auxillary Power Core to fit my new toy right. Due to its nice mid-slot layout of 4 slots, it’s useful to use a MWD and an AB together, MWD for high speed and transversal (with my fit i get 5600 m/s top speed), in case of scramblers , you want to switch to the AB, which gives you a speed of ~ 2000 m/s after all.. enough to continue fight, or enough to burn fast out of scramble range *g.

So i stumbled again through Jita contracts, looking for some nice low cpu/pg need deadspace items… and i found my candidates.. Coreli C-Type 1MN Afterburner I and Coreli C-Type 1MN Microwarpdrive I. So *ka-ching’ 25 Mil. ISK more gone outta my wallet. After further shopping of the rest crap items my fitting was complete:

Fitting:

[Dramiel, Ride on a Discostick]
Gyrostabilizer II
Overdrive Injector System II
Damage Control II

Medium F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction
Coreli C-Type 1MN Afterburner
Coreli C-Type 1MN MicroWarpdrive

150mm Light AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP S
Small Remote Armor Repair System I /OFFLINE

Hobgoblin II x3

Stats with my skills:

normal / overheat

116 / 134 DPS (w/o drones)

166 / 183 DPS (with drones)

2182 m/s / 2919 m/s Afterburner Speed

5622 m/s / 8080 m/s MicroWarpdrive Speed

10.5 m / 12,6 m Warpscramble range

Purely awesome.

(Further notice: the name of my Dramiel “Ride on a Discostick” is directly related to this – first thing that came into my mind after putting my pod into the ship. – Sick.)

Last but not least a screenshot of my baby in Irjunen -

[21:02:18] Trax Darkstorm > hoping you be a bit slower than that

First day, first kill. A crow wanted a 1on1 in a belt.. that’s what is left:  1st blood (corpmate just whored the km, he didnt do any damage or tackle)

All he got was my half shield..I must admit, i stopped shooting for about 10 seconds, waiting for my corpmate to get on the mail

So long, this was my first “Anatomy of a ship” – to be continued . I hope you enjoyed it, drop me a comment!

h fellow Spartians, tonight we dine in hell!

Atm i and 3 Corpmates are in a CTA with ProviBloc – to defend the D-G Station against the -A- Scum!

I will post more later,
Warpdriveactive!

// Edit 01:03: OK, LAG is a b’tch :/ after finally arriving in D-GTMI, it was a LAG-Fest, i waited almost 1 hour to load my ship, but it didn’t work, i log off now.

I will post more tomorrow, some screenshots from my first titan bridging are included too ;D

// Edit 2:

Oh, hi i am dead.  http://thor-alliance.com/killboard/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=213 – the strange thing : i died ~ 40 minutes after log off I’m gonna petition tonight -

Not one shot fired xD

// Edit 3:

Screenshots:

Ok.

Logged on.

Scanned around with a corpmate.

He found 4 Wormholes (oh yea pew pew).

Widow, Maelstrom, Pilgrim on scan.

Cycling through the wormholes in our 2 Proteuses.

I warp to a bookmark (a Wormhole) – a AAA(Aquariusart Alliance) Maelstrom stands beside of it.

I engage of course – Widow decloaks – points me – getting heavy damage – shield gone (i don’t care) – i jump through the wormhole to get safe.

Adrenaline; as i spot a Onyx, a Phobos, a Legion, a Loki bubbling the WH -

So decision time: die fast, or have a fight with that Maelstrom / Widow whatever there stands -

I decide for jumping back -

Maelstrom. Proteus.

Engagement time.

My heart starts to pump blood in my head – i feel rushed as my blasters begin to hit the proteus hard. I am double scrambled and webbed. So overheating my MWD and True Sansha Armor Repairer, at this point my obsolete shields were gone and the Mael and Proteus begin to hit my hard armor.

I get out of the web range and start to fly faster, reaching  23km distance to the Maelstrom as it’s disruptor deactivates.

But i still got a MWD’ing Proteus on my back, i burn faster and reach the magical 22km mark – but, the little disruption icon still shows up.

I gain more distance to the hostile Proteus, 25, 27, 30.. i get worried as is realize that due to the overheating of my MWD the module totally burned and deactivates .. the enemy Proteus is pacing to me with a 1100m/s..i turn around and start to scramble him as he get’s in range.

Hammerheads Go!

We fight, my armor looks good, he has a quite good tank too.. could get interesting.. till the moment the Malestrom stands besides me – and starts hammering with Repeating Artillerys on my back.. FUCK, distance 160 km to the wormhole..i flew a little bit too far *g.

My armor drops, i keep overheating.. i can stand it for some time while ripping through the hostile Proteus’ armor..

After reaching approx. 25% of his armor level i realize that this will be my end – the Maelstrom is remote repairing him to full armor in a few cycles.

It doesn’t look good for me:

~35% Armor left,

MWD : burned

Scram: burned

Sansha Repper: ~50% damaged

T2 Neutron Blasters: reaching their limit too..

so i start to overheat everything – in hope they dont get any working modules .. a few seconds later i hear all that scary noises which have been introduced with Dominion and see myself in my  POD.

This is it. My shiny Proteus pops to a friggin piece of trash.

I spam the warp button to our pos and get away safe.. the +4 implants are safed..

Here is the killmail:

What a shitty day.

Greets Tul

So,

at the moment i am sitting in a wormhole – it’s dark there, the weather is bad, the rats are very strong – but nevertheless it’s fun Now i am on a journey to find the perfect Solo C3 Wormhole ship.. a harder task than i thought. My Proteus is rather good, it has a good tank but it’s blaster fitting lacks range for killing the sleepers out of a safe distance. As it’s counterpart, there is my beloved PassiveCane – (Hurricane with a passive shield tank) – it deals an average of 800-1200 damage per volley on the sleeper-bs, but it lacks tank.

Has anyone a good idea for a Ship? I can fly (with decent to good skills) :

Gallente: (Frig, Assaultfrig, Destroyer, Cruiser), Strategic Cruiser, Battlecruiser, Battleship

Minmatar: (Frig, Assaultfrig, Destroyer, Cruiser,) Battlecruiser

All T2 fit-able, except Gallente BS Turrets.

If you have a nice idea for a sleek capstable, 50/50 damage/tank setup i would appreciate it if you post it in my comments!

As promised here my T3 fit:

[Proteus, ifuseeitushitbrix]
Damage Control II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II

Yea i know i know, but nothing fits on the last highslot (99,9% CPU).

With this fitting and my skills i get a decent 180 dps omnitank (Stable with capboosters ) and a damage output of  229/339 without/with drones. Oprange is at 13kms, 16km falloff. I can switch to Heavy Neutron Blaster II for more damage but shortrange ( good for visitors in our Wormhole )

Greetings, Tul.
