The Tormentor when flown solo seems to have minor variants of the two builds:

• Small Focused Beam Laser w/ Armor Rep
• Pulse Laser w/ Buffer (sometimes with self rep)

Based on ZKillboard my understanding is that Tormentor is primarily used as a lowsec/plex warfare ship. Our Amarr champion Kelon prefers the Beam/Rep fit but he has a variation for longer scram range. The self rep fit also seems to be quite popular. His fit is CPU and PG stable, I'm assuming to avoid fitting implants.

Pulse/Buffer variants seems to be divided into: 200mm with Self Rep, 200mm with Heat Sink, 400mm with Gatling Pulse guns.

I'm not sure about the Pulse / Buffer fits (edit: for solo) because with the engagement range reduced, while flying with plates and running an afterburner I doubt it could hold onto whatever it stumbles on.

[Dornath Megara]

I like your scram-kitey fit.

I would look at this for very new players (only hull upgrades 4 needed for DCU II)

I like the two beam fits above - we've got newbro and experienced covered there for solo or small gang stuff.

This is a basic newbro friendly Fleet buffer fit:

Between this fit and the other two, we've replaced everything in the original set of fits, which is good because 2 of them don't actually fit even with All V.

Now, ask the following questions:

• Do these fits cover the most common applications of the ship? Are there others we want to cover?
• What would bullet point notes be for fitting/flying each of these ships?
• What micro-adjustments could be made to these fits to improve them?

[Biwako Acami]

I don't think Tormentors serve any other purpose beyond PVP (usually only FW/Lowsec for solo)

For the advanced solo PVP fit here are notes that I have.

Notes:

• Very tight fitting requirements which needs investment into skills like WU, AWU, PGM, CPU M
• AB/Scram/Kite archetype for Faction Warfare PVP
• Use Microwave ammo to fight Kitey opponents
• Tracking issues can reduce damage application. Try to mitigate with effective piloting.

Fitting Modifications:

• Overdrive Injector System can be swapped in to improve range control for tracking(in lieu of 'Refuge' Adaptive Nano Plating I)
• One turret rig can be replaced with an alternate rig (for tank or control). This also removes PG requirement penalty applied by the turret rig for easier fitting.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I ran this past Kelon and incorporated his comments. So credit where its due.

[Lotanis Arkturus]

Yes, I think these give the major areas for the Tormentor, and give a good starting point for anything else they might want to fit.

[Kristopheros Seraphiel]

I think those three fits cover what we need to for the Tormentor. No changes here.

[Decklin Quark Reiger]

We have a newbro fleet fit, a newbro solo fit and an advanced solo fit. There isn't an advanced fleet fit listed - do we want one, or are we expecting that an FC who wants to take out a fleet of armour T1 frigates will come up with their own doctrine?

[Biwako Acami]

Sorry, I seem to have forgotten about checking the fleet fit.

• Best Meta
  • 'Refuge' Adaptive Nano Plating I ( -15.4% ) instead of Limited Adaptive Nano Plating I ( -11.7% )
  • Dual Modulated Pulse Energy Beam I ( 2.4 x / 2.1 GJ /6tf ) instead of Dual Light Pulse Laser I ( 2 x / 2.4 GJ /8tf )
  • We skip Damage Control Meta because its just not worth the extra isk and the 5tf cpu it frees up is wasted on meta fit (Unless fitting skills are terribad)
• We can utilize the freed up CPU by
  • Switching to X5 Enduring Stasis ( 2 GJ / 25tf ) webifier instead of Fleeting Compact Stasis Webifier ( 5 GJ / 20tf )
  • Switching to 5MN Cold-Gas Enduring Microwarpdrive ( 35 GJ / 15 MW / 25tf ) instead of 5MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive ( 45 GJ / 14 MW / 21tf )
• Alpha characters won't be able to use T2 Drones. We could downgrade to Hobgoblins I
• Optional: Armor rigs can be swapped entirely for Energy weapon rigs for more DPS at the cost of EHP as there is a lot of PG left to take on the drawbacks

End result is a tight fit on CPU for new characters (Weapon Upgrades IV or CPU Management V or EE-601 implant needed) but a minor bump in DPS and EHP with more cap life. The combination of switched meta modules make the capacitor go from lasting 2m to lasting 21m for a Max Amarr Alpha character.

An advanced fitting is actually pretty tight on this hull once you switch to T2 weapons. Below fit is cap stable. If FC needs a point there is only room for an Initiated Compact Warp Disruptor at the cost of cap stability and is also tight on CPU (needs Weapon Upgrades IV and CPU Management V without considering implants)
