As to the speed factor of the plate, you're probably going to lose about 120m/s off your top speed. While this is significant, you're never going to get a Punisher to be faster than other frigates (thinking Rifter specifically). If you try to play his game, you will lose. You have to play your own game, which is the game of tanking. Something to also keep in mind, because of the way Transversal works, is that the less damage you're taking due to speed, the less damage the other guy is taking as well. Against a Rifter, with its tracking and damage bonus, I'm usually trying to lower Transversal as much as possible. Another thing to keep in mind is the Shield Rifter, if you chose a 200mm plate you'd be facing an opponent, with no web, who is still much faster than you are, does more damage than you do, and has almost the same EHP.FNGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728186789797445881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-36858287321419810592011-02-13T02:38:51.662-06:002011-02-13T02:38:51.662-06:00Like you, I'm not quite right in the head, and...Like you, I'm not quite right in the head, and I'm teaching myself to pvp in a Punisher. It was very cool to see your views on fits, as that's an area I'm trying to work on myself.<br /><br />Just a thought, though. Do you find that the 400mm plate slows you down too much? I suppose it's situational. If you get webbed, you are going to want the 400mm, but if you don't get webbed, a 200mm might actually result in taking less damage.Taurean Eltaninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358324742585461540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-30693033032673460392011-01-12T11:33:33.174-06:002011-01-12T11:33:33.174-06:00Fairly late, but I did a blogpost on the Punisher ...Fairly late, but I did a blogpost on the Punisher as well. Might be interesting and give you some insight into why Lasers on a Punisher are actually fairly viable.<br /><br />http://fleeonsight.blogspot.com/2010/08/punisher.htmlSuleiman Shouaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457363105618764197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-3210964313336181942011-01-05T02:03:23.434-06:002011-01-05T02:03:23.434-06:00Toterra, keep an eye out for an upcoming post abou...Toterra, keep an eye out for an upcoming post about Implants. I've easily lost 10 Punishers since moving to low sec, but haven't lost a pod there. So for me at least, the implant has proven cheaper than the rigs. <br /><br />Jaxley, while I agree the Shield Rifter tries to be a kiting Rifter, it's lack of web really shows. You won't feel nearly as impotent to close distance as you would against the Kiting Rifter I outline. As to the Armor Rifter, it's one of the reasons I don't recommend using 200mm ACs on the Punisher. Against a Rifter who wants to get close with his tracking bonus, the Punisher loses out. But with 150s, plugging the fits into EFT at Level V gives me a Punisher doing 50% of the damage of a Rifter with 200mm ACs and a Rocket Launcher in the highs with damage Rigs. Thankfully for the Punisher, the Rifter also has 50% the EHP and 60% of the active tank. You can trade out damage to anti-explosive rigs on the Rifter to close the resist hole...but you're just trading damage for EHP. At this point, you're probably looking at SP/Pilot skill vs SP/Pilot skill, but I'd easily say you're on equal footing. <br /><br />As a side note, I don't encourage EFT warrioring...I just needed some kind of baseline to compare the two.FNGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728186789797445881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-27778789639522713362011-01-04T18:36:00.309-06:002011-01-04T18:36:00.309-06:00Great article.

I have a couple of questions about why you went with a 20 million isk implant rather than just another ancillary current router for a fraction the price. With 2 ancillary current router you can also fit a projectile damage rig boosting your DPS by 10%.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266160412251006850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-73586400585730544722011-01-04T17:38:52.839-06:002011-01-04T17:38:52.839-06:00Shield Rifters = also kiting Rifters.
