So recently I purchased the Orthrus, one of the new faction ships from the last expansion. Great looking ship, but I wondered after looking at it, what its role was supposed to be. Not a great tank, reasonable speed for a cruiser, mediocre DPS, and light drones. It was puzzling. I turned to the killboards for fitting ideas, as I often do. There, I found several variations of the above. The fitting is:
[Orthrus, Avian]
Ballistic Control System II
Ballistic Control System II
Ballistic Control System II
Damage Control II
10MN Microwarpdrive II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
Warp Disruptor II
Warp Scrambler II
Large Shield Extender II
Rapid Light Missile Launcher II
Rapid Light Missile Launcher II
Rapid Light Missile Launcher II
Rapid Light Missile Launcher II
Rapid Light Missile Launcher II
Medium Warhead Flare Catalyst I
Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender I
Warrior II x5
Caldari Navy Scourge Light Missile x2431
Caldari Navy Mjolnir Light Missile x2500
Caldari Navy Nova Light Missile x2500
Caldari Navy Inferno Light Missile x2500
This has good DPS and speed. (550 DPS and around 2400 ms with the MWD.) As well, there are some interesting missile bonuses with this ship, that make it more viable for an anti-fast frigate role, and encourage the mounting of the rapid LML 2's. We tested it recently, and found that even orbiting at 3500ms, inside 5 km, an interceptor could be hit very hard by the LM launchers. With full volleys, an interceptor would die in an estimated two to three volleys.
We are under wardec, so perhaps I will get to test this soon under live fire.
