One thought about cost: Using faction cap batteries and rechargers gives you more fitting space and compared to the cost of the ship, I would really consider them. Since you also do abyssals, you could buy a bunch of medium armor repper IIs and roll them through decayed mutators to give you better cap, fitting and rep amount.

Yeah, swapping the 2 Pb batteries for 2 Republic fleet batteries took this fit for me from 5980gj to 7003gj; cap stable from 64.6% to 70.5%; neut resist per battery from 22% to 27%. And it uses the same amount of PG/CPU as the Pbs - though they cost an extra 50m or so.

If I remember correct there was cheese way to do this in T1. Get a frig with MWD and pull them ~250km from side. Do not pull more they can teleport to the center of side back.

I totally love the stratios... Is a owerpriced bad strategick cruiser BUT have much MUCH lower SP requirements... Ppl dont remember how bad is the SP grind in this game. Add that to the fact that stratios is a ship that allow you to chose your fight so you can potentially newer lose it if youre are carefull with your engagement choices and you have a wery good mix for the solo skilled player who wanna have a careful taste of that kind of PVP wile training for t3c...

Great Video I have a Stratios but I built it for exploration and discovered that it was even less suited for exploration than my Astero. I was lucky enough someone filled my buy order for a Ligature Integrated Analyzer for about half price.

I've not tried

Ok I’m sorry that I have to say this… the only thing, ONLY thing I didn’t like about this video are the comments scaring people into not using it 😢. I use the Strat for one reason it can do near as good a job as a TC3 but has access to DED sites TC3’s can’t get in to. Also if you state this is expensive then don’t ever bling out any ship. Also not having damage mod bonuses is meh, you’re right but you can fit any wep you like, most experienced players use blasters. The trick to using this ship is using a mobile depot. I have 3 fits with a compromise on the rigs, 1 for travel/scanning, one for hacking which also slows me to web and scram and another for running up to DED 5 sites. Sure is it the fastest? No but without changing to a TC3 it’s a great option. You are an experienced pilot and should know that 300 or so million isint expensive for a hull. Heck my Strat runs 1.3bil and I’ve not been specifically hunted and when I’m hacking I’ve not felt as safe. Content creators need to be careful what they say as it will influence newer players who mindlessly take every KZread video as gospel. If any explorer is worth their weight using a covert ops cloak shouldn’t have an issue in high sec or low, J space is another matter but then again that applies to any other ship. Great content matey but try not to over exaggerate the whole ‘you will be hunted’ thing. Also the Pacifier doesn’t give ANY bonus to probe flight time 😅 only survey probes not scanner probes (they aren’t the same) also to have better scanning than the Strat the Pacifier would need to have Covert Ops to at least level 4 because that would give you a 40% increase versus the 37.5% of the Strat.

@captainbenzie

Жыл бұрын

I'd agree with the whole "scaring folks away" thing, as I know the power of being a CC, except for the fact that the video is showcasing it. This works both ways. As a CC, I have to be careful of showcasing something and folks simply jumping into the shop to try it without the proper skills (in-game and personal) to back it up. The Stratios is slow to align. As you yourself say, "if they're worth their weight with covert ops", but the thing is that many newer folks simply, *aren't*. The warnings are there purely to keep folks grounded and understand both sides of it. The Stratios is a great ship (that's why I'm showcasing it) but it's not faultless and I know MANY hunters who will hardcore hunt a Stratios if they see it on D-Scan for a second. Stratios are expensive killmails and are often flown by newer players who don't know better. As a CC, I need to explain the risks of a ship in addition to its advantages.
