You're better off cutting down on your tanking load by just killing the BS's faster.<br /><br />You'll do a lot more damage with the T2 guns. The cargo expander cuts down on your trips back to the outpost/POS/can more than you'd think. <br /><br />Also, when using AC's I like fitting a web. Makes it easier to get in close and keep your transversal up while hammering the BS's.<br /><br />Also, the mineral value of loot is going up since there is more of a demand for low-end minerals now, while the value of salvage has mostly crashed, so keep that in mind.<br /><br />--Tuttle SVCTom Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08577165613934129833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588860921117034966.post-77495265140733903492010-03-04T13:30:50.214+00:002010-03-04T13:30:50.214+00:00The rockets were only there because I had a free h...The rockets were only there because I had a free high slot and I had a rocket launcher kicking about.

If only the engineers had field tested the on-board hardware to cope with the prescence of 'roids' we may have had a much better performance.<br /><br />One can only hope that as the systems age, this will be addressed. It can't come soon enough. I think the Jovians would surely have revised their collision detection solution to cope with all 3 dimensions correctly.
