They shouldn't watch the channel.. before I started watching your channel I was losing ships and losing isk. A Big thank you for all the help you provide for us. Nob player.
Its worth trying "approach" then setting whatever range you want with a long hold , rather than fly around the target you will fly directly away from it and match its speed , letting you not get near other ships
I've TRUE SOLO'd three storyline missions so far with my Can-yue with only about 3 or so days of skills into combat. Will be way easier now that I can train into Battle Cruiser with T7
@@Tonytaru Check Excoundrals video of fittings. Mine is almost identical. The only difference is you for sure need to fit a warp stab on your ship because storyline missions have warp disrupters. You can get away with not using one if you're good at targeting and able to kill the ships with the warp disrupters, but there's usually 15-27 pirates so it can get sketchy
I'm surprised you chose not to use a cap battery over the ballistic control system. I find a cap battery invaluable in these difficult story missions where you get nos'd and neuted from 50km away into oblivion. In one mission I had my cap drained to 0 constantly and I find a cap battery helps counter that a bit so you can stay and fight longer since you don't always have the opportunity to nos an enemy ship to maintain your cap. I think the loss of a little bit of dps is worth the huge increase in cap and emergency cap boost you get from a battery. Cheers!
I'm running range increase over caps as well. With storyline missions, some of the fast ships will orbit you at 17km too fast for decomposers to shoot. So its necessary to warp in at 50km and snipe those ships before they get close to you. With my double weapons upgrade and range activated, I can do two 2k hp volleys at 49km
Hey Excoundrel, Thank you for your vids brother, they are always entertaining and informational. As a Dad myself, its always cool watching streamers not downplay the fact that real life interrupts our hobbies some times. I've soloed this one successfully with a fit based on yours with a few tweaks, it becomes much easier once you get your upgraded skills to 5 and expert to 4. I pretty much farm the books on all my alts and run this mission pretty much all week. Also, is it possible you can move your pretty selfie box up away from all the buttons you click, its nice being able to see the process. Again, thank you for the time you invest in this, lots of us def see the benefit of it. Fly Safe! o7
Hey hey, thanks for your videos, Ive done a few t8 story missions with ease in a Navy Caracal, though i run the ranged setup with cap batteries(which makes the build cap stable) then webs in the mids, to slow the frigs down to improve damage against then. When its all said and done, including selling loot and mission rewards, you can earn up to 100 to 140mil depending on item drops, though my build takes about 4 hours in total to complete 1 mission (6 waves, 2 locations... the amarr trial one,) so on avg it ends up being 25mil per hour, try using a cap battery, they can really help, nos in my experience always bring you to close into range where you can get popped quite quickly. Thanks again for the vids
great vid man on approaching storyline mission. Ur cam is again blocking the fittings. I think keeping it in the middle right or left would be a better option. Feel free to experiment kind sir
I disagree on the drone part. On drone ships, if you take explosive/kinetic split instead of all thermal or all kinetic, you’ll have same average dps against both shields and armor, but better speed and tracking as a whole. Also, for balanced missile damage ships, having EM drone for shields and then kinetic drone for armor in reserve helps way more than bothering with thermal or kinetic drones whatsoever.
Not sure if it has been said. I do this in T8 story missions like Business Magnate. Find a battle cruiser or Cruiser and orbit it 6km, then whittle down the closest ships to keep cap recharging without having to change targets as often. I can do this with 6+ battlecruisers after I kill the elites of course.
Navy Caracal? I'm trying Mega Corporation in either my Moa or Caracal and I've got to some of my final waves getting into Elite Nagas, Corax Assaults, Caral Snipers, and a Moa Assault ships. When I came in at 100km I couldn't move away far enough before they started tearing up my shields and Scrambling/disrupting me. My only escape was rigging Warp Corp Stabilizers, but I cannot continue. Suggestions?
Web help apply more damage from misiles as speed of target is calculated for damage and fir turets helps with tracking so apply more damage. Especialy over smaller fast targets.
Hey great video. Please tell me what emulator you use to play EE on your pc , I have tried bluestaks and nox and on both I can't seem to zoom in and out no matter what I set the keybind to
I soloed Bad Hare Day, T10 story in a CNI two days ago, no outside help, not a single warpout. Last wave with the speedtanking elite raven is nasty, but I was able to finish it off. I think for this particular mission, CNI outperforms VNI for a couple of reasons
@@Excoundrel if you dont mind me asking, how did you decide on what to use? I'm a pretty indecisive person and am kinda lost on what I even like. I am going into cruisers and frigates and have medium missles but dont know what else can balance me out. Drones seem cool but are expensive and destroy able while lasers are good against the flavor of the month caracal which I also use. I dont know if railguns or canons are better than either of these two opinions I just didn't get a chance to use them. . How many weapon types I cluding medium/small can I realistically try or specc into before I'm not effective?
You talk a bit about WD, but honestly if you're undergeared, an Aura warp stab is the #1 item you should be running to solo these encounters. More damage and maneuverability is great, and things go more quickly, but ultimately even without those, you can always warp out and reset, unless you can't.
I heard that the vexor navy issue is really great at soloing 90 mil missions, since u are a good caracals navy player can you please tell me what are the advantages of the CNI over the VNI 😅😇
Excoundrel, can we actually solo t8 with cannon destroyer? I felt that only missile cruiser or drone cruiser can solo t8+.. If it's possible, may I get a recommended build?
Bookmarked this video so I know what to do later. How did you get enough ISK to buy and outfit a CNI with all faction gear to get to this point though? I'm still running a T4 Frigate(Executioner II & Condor II), unfortunately, and barely making any ISK.
How does this money compare to running anoms in null? Farming t5 base anoms seems to be great money, several hundred million a day, but I've been interested in running missions, but I'm a Scrooge and love my isk. Is it better or worse overall you think?
Hey man! I've been watching a lot of your vids for a while now, the audio quality is a bit bothering but I do appreciate you still keeping up the content even with your traveling to different locations for work. I'm surprised you can tank the Naga from 20km. I run a Vexor Navy Issue right now but I'm debating between going Myrmidon (with a sniping setup of about 50km drone range) or Gila (missile + drone hybrid using speed tanking). And true enough you did say bye at the end 😂 keep up the good content!
Check out Captain Benzie, very good quality on audio and video and more concise than Excoundrel. The poor quality of these videos is really a turn off.
@@ThisisCitrus I do watch Captain Benzie too, however, Captain Benzie and Excoundrel cover different topics. I find Captain Benzie's videos more of a broad overview of different topics (Fittings, Industry, MIssiles, Drones, Lasers) while Excoundrel is more focused on one topic. Specifically, I learn more about PVE from Excoundrel than Capt. Benzie. I definitely appreciate both and watch both, but admittedly I watch more Excoundrel vids (as they related to me better) than Capt. Benzie vids. For example, I didn't watch any lasers / autocannon fitting vids that Benzie had. The audio quality issue is definitely there, but in my opinion, the information presented in the video is worth the looking over the bad audio quality.
Oh and might I add that you are correct in that Captain Benzie's vids are more concise. so I do hope Excoundrel trims the videos a bit :) this was pretty long
Those elites are tough ones, i lost my omen trainer because of a moa elite, i couldn’t warp away because my warp drive was jammed by 2 chorax, so you need to have at least +2 warp drive strength just to manage get away from the 3rd wave‘s elites
hi, u dealt pretty much damage using misille, with that high speed, but could u still dealt a decent of damage using weapon like medium cannon, pulse laser, or weapon with low tracking speed? thannks
I just finished "For Patriotism" in a normal Caracal. I had to warp out a few times because multiple elites got close. I'm not as far in the skill tree, and not rich, so it wasn't as easy as it could have been. One of the elites would shield boost almost as much damage as I could do, but 20 minutes and he was done.
Those condor interceptor destroy my CNI. Now im piss i use my caracal trainer and use faction medium missile destroying ship 1 by 1. Warp in warp out. Once you destroy those condor youll be ok. I lose 100m+ ship and i gain less than 65m. This mission is better done with a fleet but still doable with solo.
