It was exactly this that Kupena (my CEO) and I did the first night after moving in to the C4. I was just testing out and learning about 'siggy', and chains in general when I noticed a miasmos on D-scan in a C3 a few jumps down the chain. I let Kupena know via teamspeak and he jumped down with his scout whilst I ran back to our PoS to jump into my brand new, never before flown in anger, cloaky Proteus.
The 'cloakeus', a ship that has pounced on me in the past and that I have ALWAYS wanted to own.
About one jump away from our PoS Kupena announced that he had a retriever on scan, and was pinpointing it using D-Scan. My heart raced as I thought that the corp, and I may get our first kill so I upped my click rate in a hope that would move me through space faster... After making it back Kupena updated me with news of a Tempest in system which had since vanished off of D-Scan. In better news, the retriever was still there - he either had no idea we were in his home, about to pounce - or he knew exactly what we were up to and was laying a trap... The game was on.
Kupena had been busy watching the retriever chewing on ore, creating a safe warp-in bookmark for me. I entered warp towards the spot, and as the belt and retriever filled my screen and overview I got excited and nervous. I started to approach my prey, and as soon as I was in scram ranged dropped my cloak and targeted. My heart raced as my blasters went to work, always thinking about what had happened to that tempest, was this a trap? It's all about the unknown! After 20 seconds or so the retriever went pop, and the pod just managed to escape my grasp. I re-cloaked and warped off to a safe, my hands shaking after our first successful hunt.

Now I need to get into range of something that can shoot back!
Nice. Would you be willing to share your fit on your Cloaky Scan Proteus? I'm always curious how people fit their boats.

Hey Bayne, I am a total novice at fittings - and constantly playing with them. This fit doesn't include a probe, but I carry a mobile fitting unit and probe launcher:

I'm still working on a few skills, and will have to look at how to integrate drones. Thanks for sharing your fit I'll slap it into EFT and see what I can do with it!
The video is fantastic - sneaking up on people is a good rush!
Also - my lack of shiny modules is a direct reflection on the state of my wallet!
ReplyDeleteLol yah the bling on that has been building over a few years. You'll want to swap in the meta 4 scram/web. The meta 4 web has longer range and i think %age stronger. The meta 4 scram is same stats but lower fitting, which may help you if cpu is short. I tend to keep a t2 medium warp bubble in my hold, if you can fit even a small bubble in it is often worth it for catching people transiting through a wh.
ReplyDeleteOh also I'd check to see if a dcu2 gives more ehp than that 800 plate. If it does/ worth swapping anyway you might be able to drop the acr rig for something else
ReplyDeleteCheers for the input Bane, I have trained up for a tech II web now! I checked out the dcu2 in eft but it does not give as much EHP apparantly, I'm going to play around with a fit to try and introduce drones as well.
