Still working great!

More or less, yeah. I usually fly to the cache and drop the MTU there. The light drone pops all the nodes before I have it attacking any rats. For Marshals, I manually fly to keep up my speed and range and only dive in once they're off the field. For the Overmind I rush straight to the gate and drop MTU there.

Mid-grades should be OK for T5, but be ready to overheat and/or pop some drugs. For tanking, the the three rooms to look out for are Vedmaks (more than two Harrowing), Tesseras (especially with five or more Blastlance and Sparklance), and Marshals.

I've had a similar room before. Pilot away from the NPCs to get as much time as possible. Load long range ammo and split one group of yuour Gecko/Valks onto one of the Dissipators (along with your guns) and the second group of drones (along with the Warrior) onto another. Your cap should hold if your Abyssal battery is a good one.

I do recommend the Geckos. Most enemies in the Abyss don't have large omni resists (excepting a few of the drone battleships) and so you'll get a lot more damage from them than you will from standard heavies. In Gamma this is especially important because all of the NPCs will have a shield hp bonus.

The overall shield buffer is too small in anything except Gamma. In Gamma, Karen will often wreck you down to 10% shield or less. In other weather types, this could be fatal. Similar situation with Marshals.

Ah! I hear you. Thanks for the quick reply mate. I am currently using a Gila to run T3 Gamma, but the Ishtar looks super promising too.

At tier six, all of the fits will require some good piloting. Neuts are high priority targets. All of your character skills should be very high as well.

I've done about 200 runs in T5 in this same fit. It takes a lot of practice to use and you can't just jump into it until you know every single enemy and room and how to best deal with it.

No. It only works in Gamma.

roger thank you.

im feeling like this fit really comes down to piloting and damage application. 90% of the time i live, the rest is either something neuts me before i can kill it in time, or i hit a bad room and take to long. im not sure if its me or not though. any tips?

Exotic or Fire might work, but I would remove the afterburner and replace it with a large shield extender for those weather types.

Thanks a lot! Trying today at SISI and it's goes super good :)

Glad you like it! :)

Well, for now i can say - it's not working. Time is biiiig problem without ab ^_^ Don't even try to do it on live server, i was pretty lucky on SISI.

Piloting will need to be taken into account. Without a prop mod, the ship definitely needs to be flown differently.

I run an abyssal battery with high stats. I'm not immune to neuting, but three Damas and two Vedmaks is fine. Target the Vedmaks first with all the drones and then split damage against the remaining Damaviks (one Gecko and one Valk per Dama). If it looks like your cap is going to break, trigger the assault damage control and boost your shield to full and then turn off the shield booster and it will let your cap refill a bit. If you're stuck in a room with VERY high neuting (starving Leshaks, draining Marshals, or 8+ scyllas and ephials) try to keep distance while your drones do their thing. Get familiar with enemy types as it's sometimes better to use Berserkers instead of Gecko/Valk combo.

Yes. It works well for T6 (I've done maybe 40 runs?), but I usually run T5 just because I'm lazy and the T5 are a lot more chill.

Also, I always forget to change the Tier when I submit my runs and it always remembers the last used.
