This fit is intended to be cheap. We use a single booster which we maximize by overheating LIBERALLY. Overheating our large booster and a hardener is almost always enough to tank difficult rooms with good decision making. Drugs are a PANIC button.

Strategy:

Cap Stable. Not all of the implants are neccessary, but they help make it MORE survivable. The capacitor implants can be trimmed with a subsequently smaller margin of error. Passive Shield implants are more important than you would guess; but can be dropped if required. Cheaper previous fits were survivable, but took careful attention; where small mistakes in older fits were punished quickly

Single large booster fit -- Big Booster = Big Overheat

Your MTU is useful in more than one way. Its a fantastic placeholder for orbiting if weather (especially blue/orange clouds) make it difficult to travel around the room - especially when the rat spawn requires you to keep your distance. Remember you can deploy your MTU as many times as you want, and doing so twice in a room is perfectly acceptable, and at times; it makes the most sense.

Typically using a drone or missiles to pop nodes on your way to the gate; drop the early - else near the gate - will help you achieve fast finishes in the rooms. Focusing on this faster finish time can get you into trouble in difficult spawns, do not mindlessly chase the loot!

Calculating Time (an important skill in this fit). When things are tight add the KM's distance of nodes from your MTU, and then add 5 per can (1KM=1SEC + 5sec targeting) for each can - this is the number of seconds your collection will take... If you must, cut out a can - the ship is worth more! You need 15 seconds for gate activation to New Eden arrival... With practice you will be able to finish with very tight finishes, and all loot collected, even in the most difficult rooms. Overheat the prop if you cut it really close. Upgrading to a 'Packrat' MTU is worthwhile if you can afford it.

Kill priority:

• neuts
• webs
• Logi / DPS
• painters / damps

Handling Difficult Rooms: You can tank Karen; but keeping your tranversal up means you don't have to. Don't get close to Karen

Sansha's Devoted KP: Knight, Fisher, Priest/Hunter Damage from the cruisers can overwhelm; forcing you to pop drugs, and overheat the booster longer than desired. IF you find yourself doing this, you have made a grave piloting error - but you will survive. ... Keep your distance (35-50+KM) from Sansha's devoted - breaking any locked webs, followed by "Knight" - killing "Priest" instead is wise if you have maintained the distance and have no neut pressure (35KM+ = Priest, otherwise focus on Knight). Best case scenario is to get your drones dropped and be hitting Knight before the webs arrive. It is possible to have the Knight cruisers dead before getting webbed...this will make the Sansha spawn "simple".

Angel Room KP: Elite Lucifer Dramiel, Elite Cynabal, Lucifer Cynabal, Lucifer Burst, Dramiel Keeping the Cynabals off you for the maximum time you can is ideal. Killing the webbing Elite Dramiel will make this easier...do so quickly, or skip this ship till the Cynabals die. If you can missile Lucifer Burst - do so - to push him away/kill from the Cynabals and break the Logi. Overheating launchers for added DPS is valid against the cynabals. If they all get on top of you - pop drugs and save the ship. Overheating is your friend.

Edencom is a hammer. Overheating is your friend. Shoot smallest to largest and maintain distance or you will pop. Transversal helps only with the battleships. You may need to overheat hardeners and/or booster, be prepared to do so earlier than you normally would. You will not facetank this room easily in a T4. If you can maintain distance, do so... Especially try not to be near your drones if possible while the Stormbringer(s) are alive. Keep away is a great strategy with this room.
