PHANTASM: C3 Ratting Made Easy!! || EVE Online

[@azesajukkaar7775]

One of my favorite ship! I'll fly this magnificent gank magnet for sure.

[@captainbenzie]

Good choice!

[@MrDark667]

Does look like a nice fit! Thanks for the video! I am always a fan of having some faction ammo for the better tracking. Especially if you lack level 5 cruiser. Also I always have a set of emergency T1 ammo for the unlimited durability. Especially easy here as with only 3 turrets you don’t need a lot of cargo space.

[@captainbenzie]

Yeah, Faction ammo and spare T1s is a good shout!!

[@ryelor123]

@@captainbenzie I thought energy draining modules don't work against AI. Is there some secondary bonus you're getting with that odd-named thingy you're firing at them?

[@captainbenzie]

@@ryelor123 nope. It's a common misconception. NPCs have static capacitor. Nothing can reduce their capacitor, but Nosferatus CAN still give YOU capacitor.

[@simply4est]

Cool, never got a Phantasm because I hadn't found the right place/purpose, but always wanted to - maybe I'll get to try this - thanks!

[@captainbenzie]

Hope you enjoy!

[@Wychfyre_]

T2 laser ammo has a tracking penalty. If tracking is failing on frigs, bring some faction multi spectrum

[@captainbenzie]

Good tip

[@christophermclaren6901]

It was a fave pvp ship for me and depending on the gang I would shield or armour tank. This ship has great style! I think I still have half a dozen in a few locations. Time for a visit back to Eve me thinks, it has been 10 years off.

[@captainbenzie]

Welcome home! And good luck!!

[@sidneygray51]

Armor tanked phantasms can fit a nasty bag of pvp tricks. And it's nice enough to deserve some abyssal bling, especially the afterburner. It heats well too.

[@kyanwest6548]

Love to see it :)

[@captainbenzie]

😊

[@CrankyBuddha]

What a fun looking ship! I'm a bit sad there isn't more of an opportunity to just take in the different ship models as a newcomer to EVE. But at least I know that my dot on the tactical overlay looks really angry

[@captainbenzie]

😂 I play zoomed in like this

[@TimsMissions]

I have 100 MN AB kite fit. I always keep IN Multifrequency as they track way better. Conflag and Scorch are ok against cruisers and up but you won't be able to track smaller/'faster ships. Standard and Multifrequency are my picks

[@captainbenzie]

Ooh share the fit!!

[@mattstrauchon6756]

Go go, devilfish!

[@captainbenzie]

😂

[@andrewperry1987]

Benzie you don't have to turn off the AB you can slow the ship down and find the sweet spot.... :P

[@captainbenzie]

Yeah but this is easier and works 😁

[@kr4ftt]

Hey Benzie, video idea for you: One web valk is better than 5 web warriors? same for the other drones as well

[@MsTh5]

Tried to make it alpha friendly: [Phantasm, Alpha C3] Damage Control II Capacitor Flux Coil II Heat Sink II Heat Sink II Heat Sink II Republic Fleet Large Cap Battery Multispectrum Shield Hardener II Pithum B-Type Medium Shield Booster Federation Navy 10MN Afterburner Federation Navy Stasis Webifier Stalwart Restrained Shield Boost Amplifier Heavy Pulse Laser II Heavy Pulse Laser II Heavy Pulse Laser II Medium Ghoul Compact Energy Nosferatu Medium EM Shield Reinforcer II Medium Thermal Shield Reinforcer II Medium Capacitor Control Circuit II Hornet II x3 Imperial Navy Multifrequency M x3 Scorch M x6 Conflagration M x6 Mobile Tractor Unit x1

[@MsTh5]

Same cost, same cap, same dps, bit more speed, bit less shield en bit less capwarfare resistance. Also, bring MF for more tracking. Edit: for clarity, I haven't ran/tested this. On paper it just looks pretty much the same

[@captainbenzie]

I might give this a try!

[@DecidelyUnethical]

Have you considered sigtanking Kikimoras for C5 WR ratting? If you get a few of them, you'll be punching FAR above your weight class for less than 100mil a pop.

[@davidnobular9220]

Hey Captain....who's the Laser Monkey now, eh ?? :)

[@captainbenzie]

😂

[@3D_printer_guy]

Suggestions for another series: cheapest C4 ratter! 😁

[@BBRAIN1977]

is there more money in wh compared to null or low ? trouble in wh's are the connection's to other wh/ systems what are open , and no clue if have company coming or not

[@captainbenzie]

You can theoretically earn more in WH, but you'll need a corp and to be forever on your toes. For the lazier income, Nullsec (within the blue donuts) is safer and more lucrative, but I'd argue dull as dishwater.

[@justryanmurphy]

Your end drum sample isn't from @IanHitsDrums by chance is it??

[@captainbenzie]

It's a track from Epidemic Sound. I forget which one exactly.

[@sherberetta]

Does it work in a non Pulsar?

[@captainbenzie]

Yes absolutely. That's just where I got the footage after testing. You can even see me doing some of the testing in not Pulsar in the PvP video on Friday.

[@sherberetta]

Nice!

[@ryelor123]

I thought NOSs and Neuts don't work against AI.

[@williamrori1274]

NOS works, for sure.

[@AntonSavoderov]
