Dying instantly is just plain not fun

does that matter? it can still save you to from being 1 shotted, it also can save you from cocoon snipers (those who last hit you when your F ends), eb is just awesome for most interceptors

 

EB is useful, yes. But I really really prefer more energy regen for ABing, since it allows me to have my afterburners on at all times. It’s my fastest ship.

I solve that problem with passive armor, its hull is useless any way, doesn’t matter if i have less resists.

Good energy managing, energy absorber and repairing armor FTW!

Ability to use 4 active modules in the same time after non stop ABing around enemy lines to get to sneak up on that engineer is what ftw

If the first module you use is the energy absorber, in 1 sec you have enough energy to use a second one (you won’t use stasis and Ion diffuser at the same time!!) My fourth slot is the shield regen, which I won’t use at the same time that the other two.

 

I prefer to have hull regen since I’m used to play alone. Although in squad the passive armor is better.

Well I would say in squad the passive armor is like the regen hull. Why do you need it if you have a competent engi in the squad?

There are 2 more Interceptor classes that do not have energy absorber modules

  • CovOp has to use orion and plasma arc in the same time for a greater surprise burst befor enemy realised what is going on, and 2 of these modules require almost full capacitor and then you get a EM torp to the face and you have to activate 2 of yoru surv modules right away

  • Recons shield drain and invis consume a lot of energy per sec as well, but luckily for recons they aren’t Jericho and have enough Capacitor slots or native regen to be fine.

Dont forget for Regenerative coating to work you have to be at full capacitor, which means that you will not get healed during the fight and you have to be very passive while it takes forever to regenerate your hull.

Very true, for my case, its best to run away from the battle, heal, and come back.

Only ECM are non cap stable. Recon and covops are. At least all my builds are. Since they were talking about the Kris AE, I thought it was only ECM we were talking about.

 

I use regen coating on jerry ECM because their hull is so small you can regen it in 20 secs at full cap.

Look at Sai’s regen. It won’t go below 50% even after ABing for 10km.

I am not sure what is your point here, it sure can AB forever without dropping under 50% but how is it related to an actual fight? You don’t use drones/Shield drain/Invis? single drone uses up to 40% of total volume, Shield Drain and Invis have very high energy consumption per second. Unless you are covered by friendly Energy Aura you will never have energy above 50% on any interceptor during an actual dogfight.

I think, correct me if I am wrong here, that the regenerative coating is only useful in T4 and above.

Mmm not really, it has its uses, I use it on Ricasso, because to heal the hull I drop crashing into asteroids, I also use it on the Kite when playing solo coz I trust no engineers.

 

both of them has -23.1% afterburner cost, so they are pretty energy stable :slight_smile:

I use to use it on a Ricasso, and it could be used on Commands nvm, read it wrong, i was thinking of a passive armor

If I’m in a dogfight in my Sai and I’m at the point where I actually need hull regen it means my MWD didn’t work.

You’re dying in a Sai. That says it all.

The week I start using armadillo… gets nerfed lol stupid of me
