![]() ![]() You can boost that to 76k EHP with links and mid-grade implants but who’s gonna do that, really? The armour Gila lives in the same realm as a Huginn but worse, having just 46k EHP. You’re pretty much always going to be shield, though. Long time readers of my blog will know that I like trying to fit ships in weird ways and you can kind of do that with a Gila. Regardless, both of the kiting fits are linked below and can be customised slightly if you want to fiddle with the low slots. It is just damage and tank at drone range. You can see that all of this really just does what a Gila does, though. Of course, there’s also the “standard” 100MN nullsec style fit that I spoke about in Outfitting a New Corp. In that situation, I can definitely see that putting 500 DPS on target permanently is going to hurt while you fly off to 60+km. It seems like that sort of fit would work well in a nanogang where you’re pulling range and have someone else to hold tackle. It’s a fit that I’ve seen used well on Zkill and it seems to be effective. It’s also quite possible to run a simple drone Gila that has no missiles at all. I’m a big fan of using the XLASB since you can attempt to bait people into chasing you further off a gate if they think you’re nearly dead. The XLASB provides about 45k EHP and the buffer setup has 37k, but with less maintenance required and less potential to be alpha’d. You can either use an active buffer XLASB setup, or you can go straight up shield buffer and see how well you do. Since it isn’t really possible to do an armour Gila, there are two main ways to kite with this ship. It’s not bad, it’s just kind of underwhelming. ![]() The result is something like an Osprey Navy Issue, but 300m/s slower with double the DPS and worse agility. A Gila can just about manage that by trading DPS for Nanofibers or tank rigs for Polycarbons. After all, if you can kite then you can kill nearly anything. ![]() Perhaps the most obvious PvP use of any ship is to try and kite with it. Gallente Cruiser bonuses (per skill level):ġ0% bonus to kinetic and thermal missile damageĢ50% bonus to Medium Combat Drone hitpoints For the newer players here, those last bonuses basically mean (with the smaller drone bandwidth) that this ship launches 2x medium drones that do the same damage as if you had 12 out! Guardian-Vexor eat your heart out.Ĭaldari Cruiser bonuses (per skill level): Hold onto that last thought, it’s important. You can’t really armour tank it too well (the Gila), fitting is a bit of an issue, and everyone already knows what you’re going to do. This is the same challenge that I had when I set out trying to write about the Orthrus. I will not be discussing PvE at all since you can already check those fits out in How 2 Krab. I’m not about to change anyone’s perception of this ship with some crazy fit, but I can try my best to explain how I would fit a Gila for PvP. As a ship in EVE Online it pretty much just spits out well-applying DPS with a decent tank and that’s about it. Or a lizard, perhaps, since the Gila in the real world is actually a venomous lizardy thing. ![]()
