EVE, I’m such a miner

The reason why Li Yi wanted to tell the two people about the idea of ​​​​allocation of ships was for the subsequent escort competition. Only by sorting out his ideas clearly can he achieve good results in the escort competition.

"So now, I want to test you if we participate in the 3V3 escort match, what kind of thinking should we have?"

Li Yi asked.

After hearing this, the two of them immediately fell silent. It was like in a math class, the teacher had just finished teaching 1+1 and then tested you on calculus.

"have no idea."

The two had just understood Li Yi's idea of ​​​​configuring the Nerus class, and now they were directly promoted to the team configuration. This span was really quite a lot, but their performance did not exceed Li Yi's expectations.

"Come on, follow my previous ideas and consider the battle scenario first. The battle scenario is an abyss space with a radius of 100km."

"Due to boundary restrictions, what kind of attack method should we consider in such a scenario, is it a short-range attack or a long-range attack?"

Li Yi decided to enlighten the two of them step by step so that they could understand the idea of ​​​​arranging ships.

For the four major forces, in addition to drones, they all have unique attack methods. For example, Gallente's spaceships mostly use mixed cannon bonuses and drone bonuses, while Amarr mainly uses laser cannons to assist The attack methods include missiles and drones. Caldari mainly uses missile bonuses, as well as hybrid cannon bonuses. Minmatar mainly uses projectile cannons, as well as some missile bonuses.

Hybrid cannons, laser cannons, projectile cannons, and missiles are the main attack methods of the four major forces. There are short-range and long-range distinctions every week.

The close-range cannon of the hybrid cannon is the rapid cannon, and the long-range cannon is the railgun; the close-range cannon of the laser cannon is the pulse cannon, and the long-range cannon is the cluster cannon; the short-range cannon of the projectile cannon is the automatic cannon, and the long-range cannon is the howitzer. ; The short-range attack of the missile is a rocket, and the long-range attack is a light missile.

Now for the escort match, the first thing to determine is which attack method to use, short-range or long-range? The short-range output is high, and the long-range hit is far.

Short-range guns have a short attack range. For guards, the best range is within 10KM, and the farthest attack distance basically does not exceed 20KM. As for long-range guns, it is not impossible that the attack distance can reach 30-50KM.

"Is that so?"

"If it is a 100km radius site, and the frigate can run at the speed of a frigate and has a certain amount of pulling space, then the long-range attack method should be chosen."

Wang Teng was the first to answer after thinking for a while.

"very good!"

Li Yi praised that as long as he followed his ideas and simulated the battle scenes clearly, he would soon be able to find the correct configuration and battle ideas.

"Space Hunter 007, that's right!"

Li Yi thought the same way. The combat radius is an abyss space of 100KM. The distance between the two parties entering the venue must not be too close. It is probably between 20-50KM. Such a distance is enough for long-range output and enough for frigates. Pick up speed and use kiting tactics.

If you choose a melee cannon in the escort match, regardless of the high output of the melee cannon, you will most likely die on the way to the charge. At the same time, the melee cannon has a huge flaw.

"Now that we have determined that the attack method is long-range, all melee attack methods must be eliminated."

"So we started by phasing out all ships using hybrid guns."

After hearing this, the two of them once again found it difficult to follow Li Yi's train of thought.

Why choose long-range attack and eliminate the hybrid cannon? Isn’t the railgun among the hybrid cannons the one with the longest attack range?

“Isn’t the railgun the furthest it can hit?”

Su Xiaotu asked.

"Because the railgun fires the farthest, it has the lowest output. We also need to consider attack efficiency, as well as other attributes such as the turret speed, so that if it is caught, a close combat may break out."

The two of them haven't yet understood the role of the attribute of the turret's speed.

Li Yi did not explain too much to the two of them for the time being. The speed of the railgun has always been a huge flaw. As the saying goes: "425 is a cheat, the shame of the Federation."

Although the small railgun is not as pitiful as the 425mm railgun, it is still not the best choice. All things considered, the attributes of the railgun are not as good as those of the cluster gun, DPS, reload speed, energy grid, etc. The railgun's Compared with the cluster cannon, it only has a slight advantage in attack range, which is not enough to make up for the shortcomings in other aspects.

At that time, only a few fixed ships, such as the Silver Eagle, had railguns, which could maximize the advantage of railguns' long attack range. Other than that, other ships rarely considered using railguns.

Therefore, the railgun was eliminated compared to Li Yi.

"Then, let's consider the method of action. Since we have decided to attack remotely, should we use afterburners or micro-jump engines?"

Although both propulsion methods can accelerate the speed of the spacecraft, the thrust provided by the afterburner is smaller, and the acceleration and maximum speed of the spacecraft will be lower. The thrust provided by the micro-jump engine is greater, and the acceleration and maximum speed are far greater. On top of the afterburners, it's just the tiny jump engines that are shut down by the jump scrambler.

This leads to the fact that once the opponent approaches the range where jump scrambling can be used, which is generally 9-12km, the spacecraft's thrusters can be turned off, greatly reducing the speed of the spacecraft. If you want to reduce the damage caused by the afterburner, Propulsion can only be captured using the Stop Wrap Beam.

"This, I know, I know!"

Su Xiaotu immediately said: "Since they all have long-range cannons, they must be miniature jump engines!"

"very good!"

Li Yi saw the two of them gradually getting into a state, and then added.

There are two major advantages to using a micro-jump engine. One is that the spacecraft is faster, making it more convenient for the spacecraft to chase people or avoid the opponent's pursuit. The other is that due to site restrictions, both parties basically do not need to consider methods such as jump interruption and jump scrambling. , if you want to completely capture the spacecraft using the micro-jump engine, then the opponent must be equipped with a jump scrambler, so that you can occupy one more center slot of the opponent's spacecraft.

"Now that we have used a micro jump engine, the characteristic of our spaceship is high-speed maneuverability, so what kind of defense method should we use? Is it a shield, armor, or structure?"

"Shield!"

The two thought for a while and immediately understood that since high-speed maneuvering is adopted, the best defense method is naturally a shield. Using armor will increase the weight of the spacecraft and reduce the maximum speed of the spacecraft, while using structural resistance way, it will reduce the sensitivity of the spacecraft.

"By the way, in this way, we have determined our combat ideas, long-range, high-speed, maneuverability, and shield resistance!"

"Then, let's use this idea to find a ship that suits us!"

With this method, it is very convenient to filter the ships and select the configuration.
