Hydra Maulus
Contents
General Info
- Special Ability: 5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret damage and Remote Sensor Dampener effectiveness per skill level.
This is a basic T1 setup for use in a PvP-BASIC Hydra gang.
Adjust the 2 Scripts as directed by the FC or EWO. You can swap one of the Cap Power Relays in the lows for something else, such as a nanofiber, in which case your cap will last about 2.5-3 minutes. Carry extra drones in cargo to refill in stations between fights on long roams.
Setup
Stats (All level V)
- Speed: 869 m/s
- DPS: 34 (Plutonium Charge S)
- Turret Optimal + Falloff: 7 + 6.3 (Plutonium Charge S)
- Dampener Optimal + Falloff: 38 + 75
- Effective HP: 1,601
- Autonomy: stable at 59%
- Targeting Range: 62km
Lowslot
- Capacitor Power Relay I
- Capacitor Power Relay I (damps are very cap intensive, however with good skills you may be able to swap one of these for a Nanofiber or Signal Amplifier)
Midslot
- 1MN Afterburner
- Remote Sensor Dampener I
- Remote Sensor Dampener I
Hislot
- 125mm Railgun I
- 125mm Railgun I
- Salvager I or Small Remote Armor Repair System I (offline)
Drones
- Light Armor Maintenance Bot x 2
Cargo
1000 units of hybrid charges - try to choose an ammo type that gives you an optimal range over 6km (to stay outside smartbomb range).
- Targeting Range Dampening and Scan Resolution Dampening scripts for sensor dampeners.
- Spare Light Armor Maintenance Bots.
Rigs
While optional, some students may want to rig their frigates.
For the maulus, the following rigs may be useful:
- Small Inverted Signal Field Projector I (increases dampener effectiveness)
- Small Particle Dispersion Projector I (increases EWAR optimal range)
- Small Ionic Field Projector I (increases targeting range)
- Small Capacitor Control Circuit I (increases capacitor regen rate - may allow you to swap out a Capacitor Power Relay for something else)
- Small Auxiliary Thrusters I (increases ship max velocity)
Due to the high calibration requirement of the dampener strength rig, fitting 2 of it will leave you unable to fit a 3rd rig, although this will give you the highest possible dampener effectiveness.
