Definitely something to keep in mind as my alts become more diversified.<br /><br />After I finish training trade skills I go with an Int/Mem remap and start training up navigation, shield tank and fitting skills. Once those are high enough I train Blockade Runners (used to be Cov Ops until I got my first BR and decided they were far better for my purposes).<br /><br />The second stage of training often got put on hold for several months while I trained up another alt (or 2) on the same account. But that's no longer an issue with dual training and all the accounts I have now.MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-39434322036358003652013-09-13T05:18:47.905-06:002013-09-13T05:18:47.905-06:00I wouldn't use the MSE in this fit, but rather...I wouldn't use the MSE in this fit, but rather a MASB. The MSE increases your signature radius, which lowers the time to lock your ship. MASB give an almost equal amount of tank but without the signature radius increase.

Fitting 3 of them improves warp speed by nearly 70% and that's a bigger time saver than a little more velocity for both auto-pilot and manual flight.<br /><br />Mind you, if fitting polycarbons takes alignment time down another second I'll take alignment time over warp-speed every time.<br /><br />MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-78285690225337697082013-09-13T04:54:13.444-06:002013-09-13T04:54:13.444-06:00If you shieldtank Gallente become really fast and ...If you shieldtank Gallente become really fast and agile. They are worth looking into and lots of lowslots are a nice bonus. <br />My main is nearly exactly as old as yours, though its a combatchar. Im into Industry mainly and less into trading so my alts have to train Int-skills (PI, Research and Production) anyway so I pick up basic fitting and tankingskills on the side. For a week of training the alts get a lot more versatile. <br />A stack of these Atrons refit for Interceptor duty, a main in an Artynado and lots of Bookmarks are a nasty surprise for highsecwardeckers trying to take down a highsecPOS.Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18182388731594509040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-34285961719216231212013-09-13T04:53:17.286-06:002013-09-13T04:53:17.286-06:00I originally choose Vigils because at the time the...I originally choose Vigils because at the time they had a speed bonus making them the fastest cheap T1 frigate.<br /><br />They only had 120 m3 cargo space back then which was a bit of a problem at times. After the frigate revamp the extra cargo space came in really handy while speed and alignment time weren't affected much so I stuck with Vigils.<br /><br />Another reason for sticking with Vigils was to keep things simple. It's a standard ship with a standard fit all my alts can fly. I don't have to check skills or think about ships and fits for every new alt, they can just hop right into a hand-me-down Vigil from an older alt.<br /><br />Your Atron fit looks good though, that under 2s alignment time is especially interesting. With good skills it manages to fit both a MWD and a medium shield extender without requiring an MAPC or ACR rigs too. That isn't true for low skills alts though and my Vigil fit is specifically intended for newer alts with at most a few days worth of non-trade skills.<br /><br />The 75 m3 cargo capacity (or 120 m3 without the overdrive) is a bit small for my purposes too.<br /><br />I had tried doing something similar with Condors but with just 2 low slots I couldn't quite get alignment time under 2 seconds.<br /><br />I never really considered Gallente or Amarr ships because they're mostly armor tanked and I'm focused on shield tank for now. Most of my characters only have 5-10 million SP, even my main is only a year and a half old with just 36 million SP.<br />MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-20296026096037349462013-09-13T02:56:06.028-06:002013-09-13T02:56:06.028-06:00Why exactly do you use Vigils?

Most of my loads would fit into the speedversion of the Atron (74m³) but your needs might differ.Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18182388731594509040noreply@blogger.com
