Theorycraft, discuss, and critique ship fittings for the game EVE Online.

Welcome to the EvE Online Shipfitting Subreddit!

Posting

We have a few tags we use for posts:

  • [F]: Fitting posts. You have a fit that you would like to show the community.

  • [R]: Request posts.You need a fit. Please do look through the /r/fittings archive first to see if your question has been answered: this happens a lot.

  • Ends with a question mark: For general questions about fitting, for example "How do I learn how to fit?"

If your post does not fit one of these categories, please think carefully about whether it's about EvE fittings.

Please be as clear as possible about the purpose and requirements of posted and requested fittings. "I need a ship for PvE" or "How is this PvP Fit?" are not good, since we'll have to ask a million questions to get started. Useful information:

  • Purpose of fit.
  • PvP vs PvE:
  • For PvP, solo vs small-gang vs fleet.
  • For PvE, ratting vs missioning vs explo etc.
  • Region: High-sec, Low-sec, Null-sec, WH.
  • Budget / cost.
  • Skills. Folks usually assume "All Vs" unless otherwise specified.
  • Formatting

    We prefer that you post fits here in EFT format. Insert four spaces before each line of a fit to make it readable.

    Tools

    There are many excellent third-party tools for fitting EvE spaceships. Fitting using one of these, rather than trying things in-game, will save you ISK, time and grief.

    • Pyfa is a highly capable and well-maintained cross-platform open source Python fitting tool. It can interact with CREST for in-game fittings management.

    • EFT is a maintained fitting tool available as a Windows binary.

    As mentioned above, we use the EFT fitting format for text representation of fittings. All of the standard tools produce and consume EFT format, including the EvE client itself.

    Finding Fits

    The archives of /r/fittings are a reasonable place to start looking for fits. Failing that:

    • Your corp or alliance should have a list of fits for fleet PvP, at least. This is also often a good place to ask for fitting help.

    • EvE University has suggested fits for most ships in the game. While they are often old and not occasionally sub-par, they are at least a good starting point. Their Fleet Doctrine fits are also available.

    • We don't yet have standard /r/fittings new-player or alpha-clone fits. Please do ask here for help with these, and we'll hopefully be able to add new fits soon. The low-skills

    • For ratting (especially semi-AFK) and missioning a drone boat is often a good choice.

    • Vexor: Passive Shield
    • Vexor Navy Issue: Passive Shield
    • Dominix: Active Armor
    • Ishtar: Active Shield
    • Rattlesnake: Active Shield
  • For exploration, it's all about the frigates for the most part.

    • Imicus: Super-cheap minimal skill high-sec practice ship.
    • Helios: Medium skill + price for null-sec and wormhole pirate sites.

    Thoughts on Vagabond fit, Abyssals and/or Wormhole anoms?

    Howdy! I've seen a couple variations on this, Medium booster vs Large booster, not sure which is better (losing a low slot for power grid module for the Large one). Thoughts on what level Abyssals/wormholes this could run, or suggestions on how to improve for either? With the Large booster, cap is definitely a concern with some enemies, can be helped out a bit by drugs/implants/boosters maybe. In this configuration fitting window says cap stable at 47.2%.

    All opinions welcome, I love this ship so give me a good fit and I'll fly the hell out of it. Would like to keep it relatively sane ISK-wise, current fit is 631mil (had that stupid hardener gathering dust in my hangar lol might as well use the damn thing), anything <1bil is fine.

    C3 Combat Sites Fit?

    Im pretty new to ratting and have about 2.5Bil in wallet so would hope for a max 300-350mil ship. I have some Wh experience mostly in Exploration but would love to make some more isk in somethign new and fun. Maybe c3 is a bit quick of a start but making 100-300mil a day exploration feels real nice and i wouldnt wanna drop much lower.

    Any advice on solo (or probably with a tackle ceptor) hunting Loki?

    I'm really wanting to try Loki, the No.1 hunter on zkill ranking these days. I tried to look for some loss mails and this are what I've figured out for now. HAM, nullification, cloak, web and xlasb. The thing is from my past experiences in a HAM cyclone, 700 missile dps usually struggles to break Ishtar tank in Valley of Silent (well forgot to mention my primary target would be there) as they usually have some EM resist and HAM has application problem. I've never thought of 720mm on a solo hunting fit. If both not bling, would 720 works better than HAM on ratter hunting? Thanks for any advice from senior hunters😆

    [R] Loki for Drone 10/10s

    Hey all!

    I'm trained for a loki with all V's in subsystems, but I've used them solely for PVP! I have recently begun crabbing like a fiend (to afford more lokis) and am generating quite a few 10/10 drone escalations while I do so. Currently I'm selling them off, but I'd really like to run them on my own as my alliance doesn't always buy up the ones I generate!

    I know of the T3C line that Tengus are typically the best at this, but I'd like to lean on the flexibility everyone touts for the loki, just having trouble finding a good recently made fit.

    Anyone have any good EM resisting pve Loki fits for these drone sites?

    Best ship for ferrying cargo from null to Jita?

    So I'm a null sec mission runner and every other day or so I need to get my LP rewards to Jita to sell. This involves running past various gate camps and the like. Right now I use a cloaky nullified T3C, but I'm wondering if there is a better, faster ship/fit to do this.

    Interdictors are faster and harder to catch, but theres no cloak and they are more susceptible to smart bombs. Cov ops have faster align but no nullifiers. Neither do blockade runners. Is a T3C the best option? I'm a solo account so no cyno alt to jump carriers in and out.

    Edit: I forgot that cov ops can fit nullifiers, without the delay bonuses.

    PVP Rupture help I'm a fitting idiot

    So this is meant for solo lowsec hunting/baiting mostly other cruisers/bc's. Obviously meant to be a close range brawler. I think it does require 3% PG implant. I meta'd some of the modules for the sake of cost. Skills-wise all primary and secondary projectile/gun skills lvl 5.

    Is this viable at all? I've played this damn game for years and still not real good at fitting for pvp so all suggestions welcome. Never done a dual rep type fit. A bit worried about tracking with the Hail, could switch the guns to 220's or just stick to RF ammo?

    [R] Is there a way to get my Legion's scan resolution to 3,000?

    Currently I'm getting 2,666 with the assistance of an alt (a Drake). In total, I have the following:

    • Sentient Sensor Booster x 4 (scan resolution script)

    • Sentient Remote Sensor Booster x 3 (scan resolution script)

    • Information Command Boost II x 1 (sensor optimization)

    • Zainou ' Gypsy' Signature Analysis SA-705

    • Quafe Zero Classic

    • Legion - Core Dissolution Sequencer (I am trained to level 5 in Amarr Core)

    Would adding a 2nd alt with more remote sebos help?

    [R] Ishtar Killer t3d (preferably confessor)

    I've started playing around with a confessor and I love it. However my current fit fails to kill ratters, even vexors.

    My idea was to destroy all drones while keeping the point on the ship until it's harmless enough to kill. However I die very very quickly with my current fit.

    I probably want to switch to pulses for better tracking and active tanking. What do you think?

    Just Returned from 1 year break

    G'day guys,

    I have been offline for about a year, my alliance has recently moved to drone space and I need to build a new ratting ship for sites and 10/10s.

    Currently tossing up Tengu, Golem or Widow. SP not really an issue but I want to stick to SubCaps right now with the price of caps jumping up. Any suggested fittings / advice?

    Thanks in advance o/

    Level 4s

    I’m looking at more options to run level 4s, I’m in Amarr but I get a good mix of every rat type so it’s hard to go for a locked dps type so I was curious if someone had a good fit for a non battleship to run missions in? I have a golem but it gets boring, I’ve got all HAC trained and I’m working on command ships so that’s also an issue for the battle cruisers. Any help would be great

    Kiting Ishkur.

    Overall Ishkur needs a bigger dronebay which will give better flexibilty with damage types which then opens up the engagement profile more and also needs touch more CPU imo to T2 the point or T2 the ADC atleast.

    Having enough CPU to T2 the point would be a dream.

    But... Its quicker than a Retri, 1 dps less, and 400 less ehp. Also totally cap stable. It will slap an Artillery Wolf and Slicer ezmode.

    It's possible to swap out the Enduring ADC for a third DDA2 but feel the defence from the extra resists and invulnerability is way stronger than the third DDA due to diminishing returns on the DDA.

    Also with kite fits it's preferable to be speed>dps>tank. But the lack of lows and CPU is a bummer for the ishkur as without 2 DDA's its not worth using since its dps is drones, which means no nano's in lows. Other 2 lows is SAAR and ADC which are the last 2 obvious choices for the last 2 slots.

    The third mid makes it cap stable though which therein makes it good for killing bigger stuff that can't track and can outlast.

    But shit dronebay size is also a down fall, defanged it's time to leave.

    It needs the Caldari point to make the fit...fit, much like how the cookie cutter Retribution is.

    Tested this on a ratting Ishtar and it can't tank Acolyte II's with 3 x DDA's, unsure about 2 DDA's, but this does do high DPS to the point where a Large Shield Booster II can't handle it and will kill it quick. 230 max Dps with selectable damage type being able to kite is close to a Worms power.

    It can kill a 200m plated SAAR repping Malediction in under 60 seconds while its maintaining quick speed at point range and a Stilleto even quicker.

    If anyone is interested in trying this out let me know how it goes. I'm not good at comparing stats between cookie cutter fits tbh, but I definately think people are fitting this wrong by brawling with it and not kiting with it. It's really surprising.

    Load Iridium at point range for tracking.

    And sorry for the format. If anyone could repost with correct format or show me how I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    Ship for Angel sites in Nullsec

    What's a good ship for doing Angel sites in Nullsec. I'm currently using a Gila and it's doing ok. But I've only been doing Angel ports and Hubs due to worry that the Gila wouldn't hold up under harder sites.

    Whats a good ship to do harder sites? I have about 55 million skill points. More in shields, missiles, armor, beams Amarr/Caldari.

    New player seeking Vexor fitting help.

    Hello. I am a new player. About 1 week in eve. I really like the concept of the Vexor with it doing the most of its damage through drones. I am looking to make this ship into a mission running ship. Currently, I'm at the end of the blood stained stars arc. I have Drones V, and Light Drone Operation V, so I have Hobgoblin II, but T1 medium and heavy drones. I think I'd like to use railguns but I am open to the idea of blasters. I already have 1 Drone Damage Amplifier II fitted. Not really sure where else to go from there. I have done some research, but there are so many different fits, I don't really know in which direction to go. Ideally I'm looking for as close to an AFK PvE ship as I can get for missions to go smooth as butter.

    If you guys could offer any help, I would really appreciate it. My budget is 300M Isk.

    Fitting for solo WH living

    Heyo,

    been away for quite some while. I mostly do solo-/micro gang pvp and i have good scanning skills as i used to live in a WH. This time i am thinking of living solo in a WH as some sort of nomad, living of explo and well, pvp.

    Can someone please suggest me a fitting (if i remember correctly the orca was a go to as 'station')? I don't want to build any structure on my own nor do i want to fiddle around with fuel

    Also, what else should i keep in mind? This topic is completely new to me. Thanks

    Been away for a while, a few questions about fits.

    So I've been gone for a while now and I need to get back in to the swing of things and get some pvp under my belt again. I do have a few questions though. First, are Heavy Assault Missiles still trash or did they finally get some kind of buff? (along with this, T2 rockets and rage ammo in general) Are Autocannons decent now? They weren't too popular for solo fits when I played last everyone used artillery and AC's application was pretty bad. Can a 5 year old beam kiting confessor fit still work or has it had some changes?

    I know it's a lot but I appreciate any insight you can provide. Thank you in advance.

    When to go for two repairs modules ?

    Sup, this game is quite the challenge to find out what work and what not.

    At first, I was under the assumption that I needed to balance my tank very carefuly to save room for dps modules.

    But after losing some of my very best ship, and also by asking around, there seem to be a consensus that without double rep, no amount of resist will save you.

    The trick is that a double rep setup require soo much more capacitor that I end with fit using two power relay and two large faction battery, and you can say goodbye to Microwarp Drive.

    How do you do it ? Should I switch to capbooster and carry the BP everwhere I go in case I need more ?

    Cheapest Cruiser for 5/10 DED Site?

    I'm trying to see if it's possible to fit a Cruiser for Angel 5/10 DED sites in a cheap cruiser, say less than 150 million ISK. The Gila seems like a popular cruiser for these sites, but it's expensive and I have no missile skills. I was hoping to try and do them with a VNI. I could also maybe make a Cynabal work, but I'm not sure how they do in PvE.

    I came up with this VNI fit after seeing some posts on here. However it seems the VNI was nerfed since those posts were made so I dunno if this still makes any sense.

    My plan is to mostly try and speed tank with the 100MN AB, but I also built in a substantial armor tank because I know some of the rooms have webs. I needed all those rigs and Cap Rechargers to make it cap stable with my skills. Maybe stability doesn't matter, I'm thinking I may have to warp out frequently anyway if the tank doesn't hold up.

    Anyway, I'm pretty new at all this so I would love some feedback. Does this fit make sense? Should I be trying to passive shield tank these so I can get more drone damage mods? Would a Cynabal be better (same tier as Gila but matches my skills better)?

    What do you fit in the four mid-slots of your active armor-brawling pvp ship?

    Hulls could be for example: Rupture, Vexor Navy Issue, Hurricane, Sunesis, Magus, ...

    Of course the decision depends a lot on the actual ships and environment you plan to use the ship in, so please mention those two in your reply.

    I'm looking for other peoples opinions and takes on the subject.
