BB #44 - The Local Channel

Here's my take on the supposed 'Local issue'


I don't care.

I'm used to having the delayed local in a wormhole, in hisec I tend to ignore local entirely.  To be honest, I don't really care about local in nullsec, and being that I don't live in nullsec, my opinions shouldn't matter enough to affect nullsec residents.


On the other hamd, it would be kinda nifty to be able to use the System Scanning Array module that was removed before I started playing, but is still available on the markets.  Have that anchored at a tower and BAM  you have fully funtioning local.

The Love Spa Returns!

Over the weekend a couple things happened to bring some much needed change in our home. 

First we finally took out the last Interbus POCO at Planet 5, yes it was dangerous since our static was open, but nobody came to visit us while we did so.  That in itself will save money from taxes.

Second, we upgraded the medium domination tower to a large Minmitar tower - fuel costs will go up, but Frank is starting to make boosters and we just didn't have the grid or cpu needed without offlineing an alarming number of defenses.  The medium faction tower has always worn a 'kick me' sign anyway, so it's less stressful in the long run.  We'll also be able to partake in some T2 ship manufacturing as well, and have additional labs if needed.

Jhared's space hardware - nemesis

For sneaking up on unsuspecting miners and hauler, nothing beats a stealth bomber.  The lack of recalibration delay definately helps again those are who are actually on the ball and watching for dangers.

Nemesis -

Lows-
Cross-linked Bolt Array I
Ballistic Control System I

Mids-

Warp Disruptor II
Target Painter - Partial Weapon Navigation
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
Medium Subroutine Screen Stabilizer I

Highs-
3x Upgraded 'Malkuth' Torpedo Launcher - Inferno Torpedo
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
Core Probe Launcher I - core probes - offline

Rigs-
Small Ancillary Current Router I

This was tossed together out of whatever spare parts I could jam on it, and it's a _very_ tight fit, I have 0.8 cpu left over.  I could upgrade the meta items perhaps, but until it pops there's no real need.  The shield extender is for fragile hulls that attempt to shoot back, and it has the dual points specifically for warp stabbed opponents.  Or in lucky cases, when I can point 2 ships/pods at once, like in this happy scenario -

Never heard back from those guys...

Any suggestions on the fit would be appreciated.
