Thread: Looking for some advice from the pro's
Looks like someone beat me to it.
Ill be using a heavy scyk, my reward shield same 2555 f/b, and a crafted LvL7 quikshot advanced blaster. Yes it doesnt do as much damage as my boltdriver, but I needs the speed. Make sure it has a low refire rate too, id say .27 should be nice. Use your kickass engine and dont complain lol, its better than what I will be using. I have an RE'd Borstel you could use if you want, but I dont recomend it. Use the Scyk, load up on Chaff because im sure there will be tons of IR2s flying around. If you really want to use the Vaksai, ask Jey for advice, he is **edit**ing amazing in it. I am sure you will do good and look forward to seeing you there. Send a tell ingame anytime. /tell Dmitry

Your best bet is either the Heavy Scyk or Vaksai. Use your L8 shield and engine. Pack in a quickshotted MKV crafted gun. RE'd guns are overrated for PvP.
Agree 100% The more shots you can put down range the better. Faster is almost always better for large scale PVP
Also, if this is your first group event try to stay in a support/wingman role and let the big boys go after each other. Chances are there will be a few pilots looking for thier "Red Baron" and won't even bother with you. This of course will give you the chance to swoop in and get a few good kills. The wost thing any pilot can do is count out the "new guy". I've seen it happen in every large scale battle. You've got pilot A and pilot B who are always gunning for each other but totally forget about pilot C who is creeping up on pilot A's 6. Be pilot C
/agree
Heavy Scyk is you're best choice. I might leave off the reward shield and opt for a 1900/1900 crafted with slightly better armor. 30k's a lot to throw in there. Especially after you've got 23k in engine (not bad at all btw) and a heavy Mark V crafted rapid fire weapon (go for the .25 refire's btw). Make sure you're happy with the rest of you're ship before you dump in that shield. If it doesn't fit after you're finished, like I said, dump in the Mark IV crafted and run front shield heavy.
Good luck!

Thanks for the responses, everyone...they are much appreciated.
Here is the basic setup I have as of right now:
Heavy Scyk
Reactor - Mark II, 13.5k gen, 3200 mass
Engine - Level 8, 76/74/72, 83 speed, just under 23k mass
Shield - Reward, 2555/2555, 30.6k mass
Armor - 656/538 Mark II's , front and back, 2300 mass each
Capacitor - 1332 energy, 40 regen, 4047 mass
Booster - 1500 energy, 23 speed, 1484 mass
DI - 16.2 speed, 7877 mass- really looking forhelp on this part in particular
Weapon - Advanced Blaster, 1527-2569 (.48/.48), .26 refire, 14479 mass
CM - Micro Chaff, 5655 mass - Will regular chaff be good enough?
95055/96658 Mass
Any direction and comments are welcome.

\Er... The engine is fairly nice. I think he's concerned with speed. Don't fret its plenty fast and yourpitch andyaw are certaintly acceptable, roll is slightly low but hardly ever will you roll at full. Don't get a crafted engine, you never beat those PYR value's and you'd have a hell of a time running EO4.

Yea I think your engine is very nice, like I said before. And Obed, can you please send me the WP to this vendor? I want to belive you but Ive tried looking for it and I can't find it.
Also, Domingo try using a lvl 2 RE capacitor and an REd lvl 3 DI, and get some REd armor. ohh and if you want to try out your loadout before saturday, send a tell.
