Ship Fitting - A Complete Guide pt. 1

[@seven9766]

Great Overview in general, however: I'm pretty certain that the part about explosion radius vs sig radius (1:28 ish forward) is reversed: So long as your explosion radius is SMALLER than the signature radius of the target, every part of the explosion will hit the target. If the explosion Radius is LARGER than the target sig radius, part of the explosion will "miss" the target and not do damage. Kinda like a less focussed explosion. Assuming a stationary target, a torpedo might do less damage to a frigate compared to a light missile, because while the torpedo deals more base damage (potentially), the explosion is so big that most of it blows past the target, not applying damage after all. A light missile might deal full damage to a frigate, if it does, it will also deal full damage to a battleship. However, the battleship would also take full damage from torpedos, so you would do more damage with the torps. With some trickery you can make torpedos apply surprisingly well, i believe rigor catalyst rig? One of them modifies Explosion radius. Now, if a frigate or destroyer is running a microwarpdrive (sig radius bloom) and is webbed (speed reduced) /target painted(sig radius bloom), suddenly torpedos can apply scary amounts of damage to frigates and destroyers. Cue the Phoenix and her mighty Rapid torpedo launchers.

[@Ashterothi]

Ha you are absolutely correct. Thank you for pointing that out. I don't know why I had them reversed there.

[@flightevolution8132]

It took me an accumulated 7 years of on-off gameplay to eventually learn how to fit well. This is a great resource video for anyone who wants to truly understand the game.

[@Helekaeon]

Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate weapon types. It is a sea of confusion when a new bro jumps into Eve. This is great info.

[@TheGameKat]

A fitting guide in which we learn about every module. Ambitious!

[@JLGReptiles]

Man I’m about 30 minutes in and I got to say that this is going to help me a out a lot. I’ve been playing eve for a few years off and on like most people and this is probably the most helpful video I’ve seen yet as far as just laying everything out. Just want to say thank you for doing this.

[@Ashterothi]

Glad you liked it. I try to make quality resources that focus on completeness over shorter. I was always frustrated that no one had put everything about fitting into one cohesive concept. After a year of _not_ making a video about it I finally decided to do it live.

[@alimantado373]

Dedication to your craft... I have saved this for later in my eve journey, finished the basic Agency and now moving onto the Air career, so much to learn and Im glad you uploaded this one , because half of the fittings takes a long time to , find out what they are for 👍👍

[@Danielbh67]

4 1/2 hours later I'm slobbering on myself and have blood coming from my eyes and ears. If I recover I hope I retained at least some of this! Very nice stream and I have no idea how you keep all that stuff in your head. This has really helped me out since I'm just coming back and starting over after 7 years away. See ya out there!

[@Ashterothi]

I did have an outline: docs.google.com/document/d/1iYC7sMqAme4q3TsuCUZNmBs_3UpGEIj0pv8lFbv6iak/ :D

[@PrimitiveBaroque]

Fantastic video. I just started about a week and it's so deep. I didn't realize how well-thought out this game is.

[@Ashterothi]

\o/ Welcome to New Eden!

[@daveisnothere]

One thing you didnt touch on that is important for both shield and armor tanking is resistances are very important. Not only do they reduce the amount of damage you take in the first place, but indirectly effect how much dps you can repair through. At 50% resists a repper that reps 100 dmg will actually counter 200 dps, but if you have 90% resists that same repper will counter 1000 incoming dps.

[@Coldwave1q2w]

Always useful to know, not just copy fits.

[@veritech4884]

Im returning to the game after 5 years and im bringing my buddies who are brand new to the game. Your channel is gonna be key in getting us ready to fuck around and find out in low-sec systems lmao. Thanks for all that you do!

[@michaptak4314]

ive been playing this shit for like 15years now, and yet im here watching a newbro video about ship fitting :D

[@NineInchFailz]

i watched all 4 and a half hours of this GLADLY

[@Ashterothi]

Did you watch part 2? ;-)

[@BenjaminPitkin]

Pretty sure I knew everything about all the modules discussed here. However, I think you nailed it in your first point. Before you think about the ship, (or the modules too), you first need to consider what the role of the vessel is. What you want to do. I think your second presentation should focus on this point a lot more... Need to zoom out to see the bigger picture.

[@Ashterothi]

Well I am glad that someone with the knowledge agrees with the premise :D

[@Karflarfkanogin]

My guy really just explained all this for us in real time. What a straight up G. Thank you for the videos man! I hope to catch you live next time you stream. ❤️

[@jameswohler985]

MWD vs AB was absolutely best explanation ever. Made it so clear.

[@Ashterothi]

Excelent!

[@jameswohler985]

@@Ashterothi Just finished all 6 hours. Well worth the time. Would love to understand better cases where you can and cannot mix tank types or weapon types. Praxis to me you could run both as the slots are even ... passive shield 🛡 with active armor? Anyways many many thanks.

[@Ashterothi]

@@jameswohler985 Yeah I want to make follow up videos with specific topics/build concepts. That said most of the time when you see a dual tank it is in things like the Breacher. Frigates have so few hp some builds expect you to use both shield and armor in tandem. Most of the time you want to focus on one or the other thanks to resists.

[@rexdanger535]

So many options it takes 4 and a half hours to run through, just to scratch the surface. Wow.

[@ageoflove1980]

Wow thanks a lot! Amazing guide! Pretty impressive to stay focused for 4 1/2 hours on this!

[@mnemonyss]

Talk about ambition and steadfastness, we are not worthy... just wow! Subscribed

[@marcfiftyfive]

I loved the video, lots of great info and just plain entertaining. Looking forward to part 2.

[@nickdunn7362]

Thanks for making this brotha!

[@dsowby]

Part one of two. This is amazing.

[@adawg3032]

holy hell 4 and 3/5 hours jeez! this is insane!

[@adawg3032]

Wow how many ship skills you have, making me drool

[@kafrikotroll8610]

This video is a must for all Eve players !👍 Thanks for your time bro!👍 Subbed.

[@Ashterothi]

Thanks! Share with a friend :D

[@bonjour9747]

Thank you very much for the video.

[@jennybender2643]

This is insanity, in one vid??? Thats awesome!!!

[@LifesGuardian]

I was today years old when I found out you could drag and drop unrelated modules in the compare tool, and I've been playing off and on for almost a decade. You learn something new every day.

[@Ashterothi]

One of the amazing things about EVE!

[@donworland]

Dude....you are the best dojo in town, I always learn something, even though it might mean I wake up at HQ. o7.....having to watch this in many parts. o7 from Oisio Rock Eaters.

[@hiroki_rinn]

The Howitzer talk reminded me of the days when Howies on an Apoc were a good setup.

[@MeUngaBungaButYouAreWorst]

Holy fucking shit!!! Thanks for this dude that's a lot of work 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@scandalinhio]

love it, solid amount of knowledge

[@Wyrsa]

@1:20 As Baltec has shown, you can make a ship do almost anything in Eve. I still PVP in my Neuros

[@ferrarispr1]

Me sitting here enjoying the video after i just said i wasnt going to try to get into eve online 😂

[@asshat7728]

This exact vid pushed me away from eve when i saw that it's like 4 hours long, yet here i am

[@Ashterothi]

Mastery isn't instant :P

[@Justaman-yk9cx]

Best part of the game for me is fitting a new ship.

[@sinanuygur5273]

I think you forgot ship scanners, if that module is even still in the game. Is that even a concord offence? I havent played in ages... but it shows you the cargo of the ship you scan, usually used one jump before you run into a high sec suicide gank. I think you see the icon that you were ship scanned for a few secs until the cycle ends, its a good indicator that you should steer off your course to safety. Im atm 3 hours in, and you are doing a monumental job of explaining the delicacies of ship fitting which probably scares off the most newbros after the initial introduction, especially those more interested in PvP, as most tutorials tell them to take it slow and go do some PvE. This one shows them all the tools there are, with a general idea of why they will die (XD) and how to counter it next time. Keep up the good work. ps. I do see EVE as the most hardcore pvp game as you will die alot in the begining but you will never forget your first kill where you outsmarted your opponent.

[@sinanuygur5273]

hah ok they were mid modules... yea been awhile

[@MariusMutu]

Brilian !

[@mvaiks]

Amazing work!

[@Ashterothi]

Thanks a lot!

[@Jkayemusic]

Thank you this video is so helpful

[@AVerySillySausage]

Crazy how far Eve has come in terms of QOL changes, thid party tools are still very helpful but the game was straight up unplayable without them in the past. I still use Evemon and Pyfa because of old habits, but I could live without them now.

[@SkullsnTurbos]

Thank you! this is great

[@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248]

Holy shitballs dude..I started watching this and you said you were gonna cover EVERYTHING about fitting..and i'm thinking...this is gonna be an hour long for sure..lol.

[@Ashterothi]

We both underestimated how long this would take

[@cohort2796]

Totally. Awesome.

[@marakuyovimalesh3793]

This noob benefited greatly from this video

[@Ashterothi]

Excelent!

[@mnemonyss]

The term you were looking for is not rgb, but spectrum frequency

[@Ashterothi]

thanks!

[@bsherman8236]

Good shit

[@lazanblaz]

Thank you very much

[@Ashterothi]

You are welcome

[@evilmotorsports5076]

The thing I love about this video and your content is the swearing. Are you from New Jersey or Connecticut?

[@Ashterothi]

West coast but I was in the military for several years.

[@ayhankayhan2785]

Ty for this, only thing bothered me was the logo. afther the intro you should make it smaller or remove it in my opinion. again thnx for this great content.

[@Ashterothi]

Good news is that has changed in recent weeks :D

[@HJH413]

Liked, subscribed, commented

[@joedan44]

Could do with a cleaned up scripted version, although I'm not sure how much time that could take to make, still would be invaluable for new players.

[@Ashterothi]

Not gonna lie, I agree with you but the thought is terrifying to me :D I think the next one will be tighter videos for subsections. Tomorrow I will focus on nomenclature for example.

[@joedan44]

@@Ashterothi certainly I couldn't do it myself!

[@GKhagah]

Saw 4 Hours and was like damn this is going to be shit but wow, really good, fact after fact after fact

[@stormnr2]

is it a clever option to split the rapid light launchers so when u have to reload one group is always working while one can be reloaded without losing 100% dmg but only 50% for a longer period?

[@Ashterothi]

If you are doing that I kinda gotta ask why use Rapids at all

[@stormnr2]

​@@Ashterothi im new to the game i tried using them for long distance to hold aggro on me while my drones do the job. So eventually its better to use only one gun instead of none was my thought.

[@comcastjohn]

I have some tech 1, 2 and 3 ships. Will I be able to use them all if I come back without a sub to check out the game again or will I be restricted from using my ships?

[@seagrey75]

Kudos

[@karlbrierton6205]

Is there a section on Rigging? can’t see it on Time Stamp

[@fenriders7008]

It’s only part 1, possible rigging will be covered in pt2.

[@Flintt]

Nosferatu is actually based on cap number, so its super bad vs smaller ships

[@razorbackblood06]

The complexity of this game is endless.

[@JamesVanHyde]

Everything in one video. (Sees pt.1 in Titel)

[@Ashterothi]

I didn't suggest it was in one video :P I know at the beginning I thought I might get through it all in one session but let's just blame optimism I suppose.

[@obicmc4015]

Isnt Shield extender always better than a shield regen booster?

[@Ashterothi]

Once you have enough shield HP then reducing recharge time will give you more hp/s than stacking more shields.

[@Revolutionarythought]

Unless things have changed significantly over the last couple years. I don't think it's fair to describe Minmatar as "shield tanking" as a general rule. Some Miinmatar ships are designed around shields and some around armor, which makes Minmatar ships a little more skill intensive than other races. Same goes doe weapons systems. While every race has some ships that use guns and some that use missiles, with Minmatar it's about a 50/50 split.

[@Ashterothi]

Their strength is flexibility but when it comes to their logi and boosts they lean stronger shields.

[@charlesstepp129]

Should be required before a new player can leave the beginner system. If they make it to the end they are going to be hooked on hoping to shoot something.

[@adawg3032]

well I doubt every new player would sit through over 4 and a half hrs of information overload, but any new player who wants to learn the info, it is good that this information is available, props to the uploader for sure.

[@daveyanderson6166]

The best pilots hull tank. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@davewilson13]

4 hrs = part 1?

[@Ashterothi]

Yeah the videos were made over 2 streams. The second video is ~2 hours.

[@FuaConsternation]

sadly, half the comments are no more better than reddit or the official forums: pure trollage or just incorrect or badly worded enough to cause misinformation or confusion.

[@mazdrpan4099]

Write everything you wanna talk about down, then make a video and have it in front of you for reference. You are too incoherent. Shouldve started with basics; differences between buffer and active tank, brawling or kiting. Then go into describing each races ships. You can then mention differences between T1, T2 and T3 as you move along ship classes, but this is not as relevant as what role ship can fulfill. It was a nice attempt, and you obviously have a lot of knowledge, but properly formatting a guide would go a long way toward making a 4 hour video watchable, which currently, it is not.

[@rollrghostr3517]

I was going to make a long winded comment but @mazdrpan4099 nailed it in the first two sentences.

[@ilikewhenitgoeswub]

4 HOURS??????

[@moosedraw3731]

*part 1* *video is over 4 hours long*

[@Ashterothi]

Yup. Part 2 is about 2 hours long.

[@northdot9]

When he mixed things up for the fourth time .. I was out. Delivery matters.

[@edgarssults6976]

That glass background sound is really annoying

[@Ashterothi]

Which one?

[@godofm3tal1]

5 hour video. "part 1" 🤣

[@Ashterothi]

Turns out there is a lot of different kinds of modules. Having this all in one place has been very useful for me :D
