HIGH-SLOTS:
- [ 150 | 27] Focused Medium Beam Laser I [1xXray M]
- [ 150 | 27] Focused Medium Beam Laser I [1xXray M]
- [ 150 | 27] Focused Medium Beam Laser I [1xXray M]
- [ 150 | 27] Focused Medium Beam Laser I [1xXray M]
- [ 0 | 0] Empty Launcher Slot (Fit an assault launcher if you use all named modules, cpu is the only issue, or Nos)
By using beams you are able to go both close, medium, and long range according to your engagement situation. Keeping 4 of each possible crystal in your cargo hold you are able to engage as close as 3-4k and as far as 30-35k. Focused beams offer a wonderful balance of damage and RoF, with decent tracking against smaller or faster targets. While beams fire slower than pulses the omen's RoF bonus negates it so that the beams are still firing very quickly while still giving you the same damage mod but with more room. This medium/longrange distance is important since the omen simply won't outtank a maller and therefore needs to avoid being webbed and popped. Fit an assault launcher with explosive missiles or a Medium Nos if you are using enough named modules to squeeze more CPU out of your ship.
MED-SLOTS :
- [ 0 | 0] 10MN Afterburner I
- [ 1 | 40] Warp Disruptor I
- [ 1 | 25] Stasis Webifier I
Obvious. The AB is going to give you the ability to keep your distance for the majority of targets, letting you safely orbit at 17-18k and out of their weaponry range. Warp disruptor comes before the webber because you NEVER WANT TO WEB before you scramble, as the sudden drop of speed may send them off into an immediate warp. Web is used for pesky frigates or if your target gets within 10k of you. Again, all used to keep your distance from the target.
LOW-SLOTS :
- [ 150 | 25] Medium Armor Repairer I
- [ 1 | 30] Heat Sink I
- [ 1 | 30] Heat Sink I
- [ 1 | 30] Heat Sink I
- [ 0 | 3] Capacitor Power Relay I
Obvious, again. Repairer to help negate damage long enough to kill your target, but don't expect to out tank him. With the omen's RoF and speed, along with three heat sinks, you are looking to kill them before they kill you. Relay is to help keep things running, but not forever. My tests with everything -but- the repairer running are at 190-220 seconds depending upon which crystal I use for range. The repairer drops that down quite a bit, so cycle repair instead of continually repair.
DRONE BAY :
- Warrior I (Light Scout Drone)
- Valkyrie I (Medium Scout Drone)
1 light drone and 1 medium drone do more damage than 3 light drones. Explosive helps compliment your EM/Thermal lasers.
SKILLS REQUIRED :
- Lvl 3 Electronics
- Lvl 2 Navigation
- Lvl 1 Science
- Lvl 2 Energy Grid Upgrades
- Lvl 4 Amarr Frigate
- Lvl 1 Medium Energy Turret
- Lvl 3 Spaceship Command
- Lvl 3 Small Energy Turret
- Lvl 1 Repair Systems
- Lvl 2 Mechanic
- Lvl 3 Gunnery
- Lvl 2 Engineering
- Lvl 1 Propulsion Jamming
- Lvl 1 Weapon Upgrades
- Lvl 2 Amarr Cruiser
All in all it's meant to keep moving and has enough damage output for fleet usage or solo pwning. Just remember, it isn't a tank. You need to keep that speed, range, and damage up or you will end up a sitting duck. However, despite the fraility of it I can testify that the setup works amazing for hunting. Many kills with it.
