Dude... I just returned back into Eve after 12 years Awol and your vids are getting me sold on Abissal running to get my pvp chops back... Thanks for your time on these
Swap the bay loading accelerator with a fuel cache partition, and you're good. Gives your rage rockets everything they need to succeed. Only have to do javelin on some of the more ranged orbits
i been running a talwar belting in .4 systems in minmitar space. it makes some good isk for something under 7m and rockets. can kill everything including bs commanders and clone soldiers. between ~4m warp fields and bounty its a nice break from abyssal.
As usual I had to get one of your inspiring ideas and try it, Fun was had! Got into armor, overheated my guns, flew like a noob, got out by the skin of my teeth! Damn good fun! Thanks Capt! 😃
Im running a worm currently but im training the skills for the hawk 19 days away, i did 100s of runs in a hookbill rocket in darks so this should be a cake work.
How'd the Hawk work for you? I used a Worm forever but just switched to a Hawk after losing a Worm from a stupid mistake. Hawk + implants is waaaay cheaper than my Worm fit and it seems like it's doing a better job too.
@@discoandhaze its hands down the best frig to use for omegas worms best for alphas you can use them in t2 but theres huge risks i grinded with the hawk in t1 till i could afford a passive gila fit and now im grinding t3s
Really enjoying this fit, I can't quite fit it, need another rank for Afterburner II and can't get the bay loading rig on there but it's fun, haven't built up the courage to do level 2 yet because I'm very space poor but 0-1 have been good. I also have a slightly modified one for ratting with a probe scanner but it's a bit slow going with the short ranged rockets and big maps. Considering trying light missile launchers for the ratting but tech 2 heavy missiles is a higher priority right now for my Drake.
@@captainbenzie Hey Captain, I used your Hawk fit, mostly, and yeah, kills everything and even though I am very new, it is the most fun ship to take to Abyssal space so far. Thanks for the content and the great fit. I did not have the skills for all the parts you had on it, so I used a small F-S, whatever instead of the medium. Works fine so far.
Whilst I agree it can have niche uses, I'd never want the actual autotargeting function as you're actively flying in Abyssals, and target priority is often life and death. As for the ability to lock more targets... Fair enough, but I don't think I've personally ever sat in an Abyssal and wished I could lock an extra target or two 😊 That said, whatever works for you can only be a good thing!
@@captainbenzie Yeah, I think I have many habits that got my ships killed often, but auto targeting was not one of them, I think... Of course, the biggest threat is the enemy ships (dah) lol
I tested this fit first in a T0 Dark. That thing melts some faces up close. Been ages since I used blasters or rockets. Excellent fun. Now for some T1s.
@@captainbenzieworked fine! I am in the 15 year toon though with all but max rocket skills. The battleships had me worried for a while to I worked out their range and that they were sitting in a tracking bonus tower. After that I orbited at 10km and they couldn't hit me. Just took ammo after that. Need to consider bringing the alt to hack and tactics for that.
@@captainbenzieAn Eve funny. "Don't eve and drive... no don't drive and eve! No dont drink and eve.". Aftert his T1 run, I did a L4 blitz with both alts in identical sniper/sentry domi's. I cut through the serpentis so fast I don't think I got targetted by half the rats. I wanted a comparison effort/v/reward. The funny part. When tallying up the loot into "sellable", "reprocessable" and "ammo", my trade alt did "CTRL+A"... reprocess. Not realising that was teh "Item hangar!" at home base. Thank God it does not go recursive into cans!!!! I did however recycle all my station containers.... now I have 500 items worth 500mil in one pile.
Awesome video, Benzie. Do you plan on doing other content in EvE? I'd love to see more exploration fits/content, or are you planning on doing any of the new Faction warfare? I'm just getting a little burnt out with T1 Abbysal deadspaces atm. If you're having fun doing the content, that's great, but honestly, I had to force myself to watch this one all the way through due to its similar to your hook bill video. (🙏 Please don't take that the wrong way. Your video production is good it just feels really similar to the other video, and I'd just like to see a mix-up a little bit)
Haha don't worry, plenty of variety coming! Just with me being away for this week, I needed a load of content quickly, which meant showcasing Kestrel/Hookbill/Hawk was easy to put together, and the Rifter one came in there completely by accident. Next week has Exploration, fittings, a thought piece, and even hauling!
@Captain Benzie Hauling is good. Very necessary yet not to much coverage. They still have those hauling corps like redfrog or whatever it was back in the day?
OK, so the Tessera is what 3-shot my Jaguar. Are they just easier to deal with in Dark Abyssals (resistance/speed)?? Or did they get a recent buff? Oh, and tip, don't "Approach" the caches, "Align To" will point you directly at it at maximum velocity, but because you're aligned, you won't stop when it pops because you are merely pointed in a direction.
Veeeeeery expensive and honestly I'm not sure the ramp up DPS is worth it. I can fly them, but never taken into Abyss because of a) cost, and b) how Entropic Disintegrators work
Farming Isk on Eve is hard especially playing alone as relative newbie. I have been doing Tier 1 abyssal flying a Worm it's fun but as it's main source of income on Eve I get weary after some time. I am looking for a corp or fleet for big ISK farming. Earning the big bucks😢
How would you fight 3x devoted knight with this? Just brawl them? I usually kite them with light missiles, but it seems like thatd be harder with the lesser range of the rockets

I just got back into Eve after many years and been trying to get through T1 but with a cruiser, do you have any tips? I've tried both Vexor and Rapture fits that are recommended in fittings list (e.g. look for T1 Abyssal Vexor). And I was completely outmatched. Vexor did one calm exotic fine, but second time ran into a cruiser drone that instantly popped all my 15 drones as soon as they got in range (like I could not even recall them back or anything, they just vanished as soon as they got in range of it). After which killed my Vexor in like 4 hits. Rapture didn't even stand a chance because it missed frigate drones way too much. I am currently training for the Caladari missile boat (forgot what's it called) to try and outrange them, idk?
Just tried Caracal "T1 Abyssal Build" bs. Ran into 3 devoted hunters. No chance. They ate me for breakfast and asked for desert. Wasn't even a fight. Not sure what to do now since I don't have money for another ship and if I did it would just get popped again. Maybe I'll put this game down for another few years...
I love the Hawk too. But I die 99% of the time if I meet with the Devoted Knight, or the Marshal. Otherwise I die 80% with the Lucifer Cynabal or any Angel room. Any suggestions are very helpful, thanks!
@@newchaoz nah, Abyssals are tough and you often just need to learn the limits of your ship and how to handle some really quite tough groups of opponents.
You used to be able to do T3's in a Hawk like this before Cynabals were added. It took a blingy shield rep and T3 implants but it was a beast. Probably why they added the Cynabals.
In my abyssal experience, looting the two secondary caches is not worth the reward and the time risk is too great in getting yourself timer killed. Would like to see the Hawk take on a Devoted Knight.
Devoted knight kills you at range its a ship you are meant to get close to and orbit it will drain your cap but you use rocmets so if cant dtop your dps.

A small suggestion, you can fit an auto targeting on the empty high slot, it helps the life quality and uses almost no CPU or power (or ISK)

Hi, noticed your fit is not the same on the description. You recommend more the web's or the shield extender? Greets!
Updated! I personally recommend the extender if you can fit it

So why the web in the fit in the description? and not in the video?
Try out a nergal for single frig abyss, would be interesting to. bit more expensive.

That's a tough fight but you can get under the guns nicely and just hit it hard. Usually takes a bit of heat - definitely the worst room.
@@captainbenzie I was told to keep a distance of 80KM, but how to do that, given the abyss room is so small, smaller than my bedroom...
Devoted knight kills you at range its a ship you are meant to get close to and orbit it will drain your cap but you use rocmets so if cant dtop your dps.
