L1 or L2

[Gottaa]

Hi All,

Simple question, logged in this morning quickly in my new home (not sure I did apply to the corp in the end, as still in newbie corp), and noticed I could do L2 missions, am I better off doing L2 Q15 missions than running L1 Q0 missions ?

 

[Zed]

Yes. More cash and more stuff to salvage (if you go that route)

As for hte corp - khana was chatting to me over the weekend about your application so its in hand. I don't think he knew who you were so he'd not approved it. But it should be sorted so ill chase him to get it fixed.

Maybe I should have made it more descriptive than 'It's Gottaa' or something like that I thought it was CUK'ers so I didn't do it properly

P.S Me want Rupture

 

[Darakor]

Definitely L2. More fun, more challenge, more loot, more money. Also, you can move upwards to Cruiser and enjoy a new ship. I was so proud of my Rupture...

It is still one of my favourite ships.

Use the free Destroyer you would have gotten from Tutorials as you salvage ship - 3 or 4 beams and 4 salvagers does the job pretty quickly. Currently finding that salvage in level 3s can add 1-3 or 4 million on to the mission rewards.

Level 2s in a cruiser!! Pah i run mine in a frigate

 

[Aciiid]

you're probably running T2 everything and have shield/armor hardners too...


Gotta use a cruiser

A.

I'm not too keen on trying L2 missions in my Rifter, cos if it blows up I need to refit it and get the name of everything that was fitted to it, and I'm lazy, also I don't get drones to play with in the Rifter. And I used a stabber before to salvage, more cap, alot more space though slower travelling, but then in just one mission before with Aciid I filled the stabber's cargo hold up, so with the destroyer it would have taken alot longer in total

 

[Requiel]

You can save fits from the fitting screen. That way if your ship dies, you can just buy a new one, pull up your saved fit and use that as a shopping list.

L2 missions in a frigate are doable but hard if you don't have a decent amount of skills. Buy a Rupture or a Stabber and you'll breeze through them.

Rupture's rule for L2 missions thread - Enjoy them

Ps. you can make your cargo hold last longer when salvaging by dropping any Metal Scraps out of the Airlock. They take up a ton of space, and are worthless.

I am using a Hurricane (Battlecruiser) as my Salvage Boat these days and I am very happy with it. 4 Salvagers, 4 Tractor beams, a lot of Cargo Hold Expanders (cargo hold over 2000m3), an MWD and it is cap stable. I am going to stick with that. Although my Gallente Destroyer served me quite well, the cargo hold is just too small for lvl 4 missions.

The Rupture is a great ship, I love it to bits. I hope to be able to use it as my main combat ship for pvp. I would also definitely use a Ruppy for L2. You get drones to play with, a lot more options than with Frigates, more surviveability and a plain cool looking ship.

I'm getting a Rupture, I'm just posting here to remind Zed to build it for me

 

[Zed]

Its built. havent pulled it from the factory yet though Hmmm should do that later i think - then ill contract it and its yours.

Gonna let Gotta smash a bottle of champange over it as it leaves dock?

 

[Zed]

Its sat in contract at HQ for you Gottaa. Enjoy. When you've fitted it gimmie a yell and ill run some level 2 missions with you until you get used to it.

 

[Gottaa]

Ta, should be on after lunch to see about fitting it

 

[Chick]

Zed - can you make Hurricane's below market price ?

 

[Gottaa]

Posting it here so I can easily check from home:

[Rupture, Test]
N-Type Adaptive Nano Membrane I
Damage Control II
800mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I
Medium Armor Repairer II
Gyrostabilizer I

Y-S8 Hydrocarbon I Afterburners
Cap Recharger II
Cap Recharger II

650mm Medium 'Scout' Artillery I, EMP M
650mm Medium 'Scout' Artillery I, EMP M
650mm Medium 'Scout' Artillery I, EMP M
650mm Medium 'Scout' Artillery I, EMP M
Small Tractor Beam I
Salvager I

Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I

Which is basically Req's suggestion, but with the rigs to make it cap stable at 46%

anything obvious missing ?

 

[Zed]

Probably. The ore needed for BC is substantial.

Looking at it i can probably do something in the region of 18 - 19mill at a push, saving anyone around 8 - 9mill.
