Crane fit for low/null sec hauling + exploration/salvage
Posted: 2019.11.26 04:04
So I was debating awhile back the merits of fitting combat probes on a blockade runner:

Since my fitting skills are all V, I decided to give it a shot (resigning myself to post the killboard here when it all ends catastrophically).
That being said, I chose the Crane (most CPU and base EHP) as my guinea pig. I got a lot of good advice/perspective on my last thread and was hoping to get some feedback on tradeoffs for the fit:
[Crane, Cloak/SExpProbe/ECM]
'Halcyon' Core Equalizer I
Damage Control II
Gistum B-Type EM Ward Amplifier
Upgraded Explosive Deflection Amplifier I
Sentient Burst Jammer
50MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher, Sisters Core Scanner Probe
Medium Processor Overclocking Unit I
Medium Polycarbon Engine Housing II
Cloak/SExpProbe/ECM (Crane)
EHP: 18.2k (Em: 15k, Th: 31k, Kin: 19.6k, Exp: 17.3k)
Shield: 9.39k (Em: 59%, Th: 82%, Kin: 74%, Exp: 73%)
Armor: 2.89k (Em: 57%, Th: 88%, Kin: 68%, Exp: 24%)
Hull: 5.91k (Em: 60%, Th: 60%, Kin: 60%, Exp: 60%)
Speed: 1844 m/s
Signature: 690 m
Capacitor: 1.22k GJ (Lasts 2m0s)
Targeting range: 32.6 km
Scan resolution: 163 mm
Sensor strength: 19
The tradeoffs I am looking at are within the mid-slot modules and the rigs.
To summarize:
1) MWD capacitor vs tank?
Right now I get 4m10s (2m with both the MWD and ECM burst active) of MWD with the Y-T8 Compact, however, I could swap this out with the Cold-Gas Enduring meta and get 7m20s instead (2m20s with the ECM burst active). The fitting sacrifice for this will be a Supplemental
Explosive Deflection Amplifier resulting in ~300 less EHP (17.9k vs 18.2k) and about +3mil more cost.
2) ECM burst worth it?
In it's place, if I fit a Medium Processor Overclocking Unit II, I would have just enough CPU left to fit an Adaptive Invulnerability Field II:
[Crane, Cloak/SExpProbe/Shield]
'Halcyon' Core Equalizer I
Damage Control II
Upgraded EM Ward Amplifier I
Supplemental Explosive Deflection Amplifier
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
50MN Cold-Gas Enduring Microwarpdrive
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher, Sisters Core Scanner Probe
Medium Processor Overclocking Unit II
Medium Polycarbon Engine Housing I
Cloak/SExpProbe/Shield (Crane)
EHP: 20.3k (Em: 15.5k, Th: 37.4k, Kin: 23.9k, Exp: 19k)
Shield: 11.5k (Em: 62%, Th: 88%, Kin: 82%, Exp: 77%)
Armor: 2.89k (Em: 57%, Th: 88%, Kin: 68%, Exp: 24%)
Hull: 5.91k (Em: 60%, Th: 60%, Kin: 60%, Exp: 60%)
Speed: 1825 m/s
Signature: 690 m
Capacitor: 1.22k GJ (Lasts 2m50s)
Targeting range: 32.6 km
Scan resolution: 163 mm
Sensor strength: 19
This fit is also cheaper by about $50mil.
3) Rigs... Polycarbon vs Gravity Capacitor Upgrade?
The Polycarbon brings my align times down by approximately 1s (5s/7s with/without MWD running) but the Gravity Capacitor Upgrade I brings my core/combat probe strength up from 72.6/36.3 to 78.91/39.45.
Would +6 core and +3 combat probe strength be worth a 1s slower align?
If you've made it this far into my post thanks for taking the time to read.
Thoughts?
