====== Moa ====== | This ships falls under the [[military:reimbursement:blanket_reimbursement|Blanket Reimbursement Policy]] | {{https://image.eveonline.com/Render/623_256.png?nolink}} ===== Overview ===== ---- In a class that's notable for offering a large number of relatively fragile shield ships, the Moa stands apart as the only shield tanker to realistically compare with its armour brethren in terms of durability. On the surface, it shares a lot with its Amarr cousin. For a start, its bonuses to shield resists and hybrid turret damage seem oddly familiar, as does its offensive complement of five turrets and 15m3 worth of drones. Ostensibly then, it's easy to assume that the Moa is mainly about tank. You know what they say about assumptions.

In contrast to its nemesis the Thorax, the Moa is most effective at long range where its railguns can rain death upon foes. ==== Traits ==== **Caldari Cruiser Skill Bonuses (Per Skill Level):**\\ **5%** bonus to **Medium Hybrid Turret** damage\\ **4%** bonus to all shield resistances ===== Fittings ===== ---- ==== PVP ==== === Bait Moa === [Moa, Bait] Power Diagnostic System I Power Diagnostic System I Power Diagnostic System I Damage Control II Fleeting Warp Disruptor I Large Shield Extender II 10MN Afterburner I Multispectrum Shield Hardener II Heavy Neutron Blaster I, Antimatter Charge M Heavy Neutron Blaster I, Antimatter Charge M Heavy Neutron Blaster I, Antimatter Charge M Heavy Neutron Blaster I, Antimatter Charge M [empty high slot] [empty high slot] Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I This is pretty expensive and inferior in all ways to a Drake, except that Drakes are always bait. Also, with a bit of twiddling, you can swap your low slots for a Damage Control and Magnetic Stabilizer and get more DPS, but it's really not worth it. You don't have the Powergrid for a heavy tackler unless you downgrade to ion blasters. You are bait; you stand there, pointing something, until someone else can jump in. If it's an interceptor, you're probably screwed, but if they get in range (assuming aggression), scram and web them and wait for people to get you. Against a battleship, point them and orbit them at 500 metres with your afterburner on. Though you have an increased sig radius, this will allow you to speed tank them. Do not fit a MicroWarpprive unless you can warp/jump to them at 0, and even then it's probably not worth it. Most importantly, the point is the last thing to go in. You are bait, you will die, you just need to keep them pointed until your buddies arrive. === Solo PvP Anti-frigate === [Moa, Anti-frigate] Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Damage Control II 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I Experimental 10MN Microwarpdrive I Stasis Webifier II Stasis Webifier II Warp Scrambler II 200mm Autocannon II 200mm Autocannon II 200mm Autocannon II 200mm Autocannon II 200mm Autocannon II Medium Energy Neutralizer II Medium Trimark Armor Pump I Medium Trimark Armor Pump I Medium Trimark Armor Pump I Warrior II x3 This is, in addition to a LOLWUT fit, an excellent setup for catching assault frigates, Dramiels, and the like. Nobody ever expects an armor-tanked Moa that can do damage. It will not, however, last long against anything larger than a destroyer. === Tank FC Fit === [Moa, TANK FC for talwars] Damage Control II Beta Reactor Control: Capacitor Power Relay I Beta Reactor Control: Capacitor Power Relay I Beta Reactor Control: Capacitor Power Relay I Experimental 10MN Microwarpdrive I Large Shield Extender II Large Shield Extender II Medium Ancillary Shield Booster, Cap Booster 100 Multispectrum Shield Hardener II 250mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Caldari Navy Iron Charge M 250mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Caldari Navy Iron Charge M 250mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Caldari Navy Iron Charge M Cynosural Field Generator I [Empty High slot] Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I === Bloa === [Moa, BLOA] Damage Control II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Large Shield Extender II Warp Scrambler II Multispectrum Shield Hardener II Large Shield Extender II Experimental 10MN Microwarpdrive I Heavy Ion Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M Heavy Ion Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M Heavy Ion Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M Heavy Ion Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M Heavy Ion Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge M Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Hornet EC-300 x3 Short range, fleet brawler we used in faction warfare.
