Yeah i was thinking that. Why im boosting its tanking abilities. I need to survive until their 19km away. Salvaging takes forever. Maybe load 2 of the guns with Iridium and 2 with antimatter. Once i got some training for the MWD in ill fit one of them.

Oh well. When i have time ill play with it a bit. Slow doesn't bug me so much. Its the punch it packs when it hits thats important. Want to boost the turret tracking speed also, also considering getting a smartbomb installed with a 3km area of effect. If a pirate tries coming in close ill fry his ass. Luckily with the warpcore stabilizer i shouldn't have to be worried about jammers. i think my current set up could take out 2 pvp frigates while only taking medium damage. depends on what they come at me with. If its projectile turrets firing EM or explosive tips im ok, same with Lasers. My shields have a natural thermal, kenetic and Explosive resistence. With Damage control active that jumps up into the "barley a scratch" damage dealt with the shield booster healing 72hp per 3 second run. If they have sabertooth missiles in hope of shredding my shields with em damage i pop the em hardner and damage control. Then their damage is halved and the shield booster healing double what they deal ever 3 seconds. So yeah. I think it should do ok.
 
Out of curiousity, wouldn't a Gallente make a better armour tank? Also the Thorax has more lows than mids providing more space for reppers, membranes etc.

It would. Im looking into it. Ill go that route with my PVP set up as ill use the medium slots to fit jammer, web and ECM.

A corpmate goes on about that with my Myrm (that has a 7.5% bonus to armor rep)... But i'm shield tanking it passively, because my connection is rather unstable :o Its nice though, get aggro - set drones free, go make coffee, and loot

Well I've never played Gallente or flown their ships. I'm just browsing through Thorax setups and the advice given by people on the interwebz.

I also know the feeling as current sentiment is that missles and shield tanking along with a Raven is not high on anyones' pvp gang list. I am a Caldari, I am specc'd in shields and missles .... and I fly a Raven.

Per me, the thing to keep in mind though is to try not to be the jack of all trades, master of none.

Hehe i've personally gone off course somewhat in terms of classic Gallente combat...

I'm training shield tanking, and projectile weaps :D I'll move back toward armor tanking when I have the skills for it...

Right now, my shield tank loadout can sustain 200dps, and my armor loadout does 70 :o

The Cruise Missile does 300hp pure em damage.

Getting hit by one of those means a pretty well skilled (as in points not the person :p ). The tree for that is Citadel Torpedos I which entails having Torpedos V which entails ... a list of others (Hehe, too lazy to list them).

Oh, and the launcher cost is around 45mil ISK per.

But in general, you are correct. In solo PvP, you will need to take resistances into account as you are going to be tanking as well as DPSing.

In PvE, you just look up what you are against and load resistances accordingly.

Only usable on Dreadnoughts/Titans :p

/me prefers this

Loool! Thats pretty awesome.

@ Jase. I know its a Dreadnought type weapon. Even something that deals 300HP em damage could witle down his shield. Thats why im going em res along with other res. If they cant break through my shields before my guns have them their screwed.
