In my opinion, the thing is: gun fleets can be more efficient in terms of site speed, but when you run for 5hours i think that the drone boats will become better due to not requiring so much micromanagement, you simply drop drones and assist and the rest is up to logi/trigger ship, but then again i never tried to run a gun fleet, so im not sure if guns take as much micromanagement as i think they do

First, hi Solette, we (I) miss you.

Second: Guns don't take too much micro if your skills are at such a level where you kill most of the DPS before it really applies so you don't have to worry about tank levels. For example, Pain's super-thin-tanked NMs. Post-ban though I'd say guns do require more micro than Sentries.

I ran basically the same fit as pain pre-ban. Post ban it's far too hard to keep them alive while trying to micromanage the guns. I have to use two logis and a bit stiffer of a tank mostly because I cannot rely on having free reign of NMC and OTAs like before.

Micromanagement isn't as bad as some people would think as you only have to target a select few NPCs per account. The amount you have to target depends on your fit and the site.

Back in the early days of me running in windowed mode I gave my NMs a try. The video I posted was my first REAL attempt at running that setup. I didn't have tachs as they were 30 hops away

Despite being the first real attempt as such making many mistakes I still finished the OTA in 7:47 which would be about a 8:50 tick with a 50 au warp.

I'm positive I can do much better now.

yeah, good to be back bugme143, i just had some wardecs, so i wasnt able to leave my wh for some weeks :P

i will be back to incursions in a couple days tough, and i think i will be doing some changes to my fleet, im going to add blasters (or rails, depending on how both perform) to the domis, not sure if i will be able to 1 shot frigs with only 5 domis, so im thinking of resubbing 3 of my olf acconts back, wich would put me at a total of 11 acconts, 2 basis, 1 loki and 8 domis.
Any opinions?
