So, you want to fly the pilgrim, eh? I should warn you about the skills you will NEED in order to become effective with it. These skills that I am listing are the lowest required skills. I would suggest getting all the skills I have at level 4, to level 5.

======================================

Implants

Next thing, are the implants. I would recommend getting a set of slaves (preferably the high grades). This will boost up your armor HP. More HP = more time you have for your drones to pick at the enemy. Please note that 5% Hardwiring implants are non-negotiable.

Implants I highly recommend:

Slot 6: Slave Omega (50% strength to all slave implant secondary effects) OR ZET1000 (5% reduction in rep systems duration)

Slot 7: Squire EE8 (5% reduction in cap use of energy emission system modules)

Slot 8: Squire CC8 (5% increase in capacitor capacity)

Slot 9: ZET4000 (5% bonus to repair systems repair amount)

Slot 10: ZET5000 (5% bonus to armor hitpoints)

==================

Main Targets

Ok, so you have all of this? Sweet.. Your targets will be mainly...

noobs.

Anything other than noobs will either 1) Not engage you, 2) Blob you, or 3) Kill you.

Deal with it.

==================

Turret ships and Tracking Disruptors; the EFT warrior debate versus Actual Gameplay

Coming from experience, both on TQ with current tracking disruptors, and on SISI with the new scripts, you will need to know the following:

1) You operate at, ideally, 11km range. If you sneeze, you are in web range. If you are webbed, the tracking speed disruption script will not work.

2) If you have a Domination stasis webifier, True Sansha NOS and Neuts, great. Use the tracking speed disruption script if the enemy's optimal is 20km and falloff is 15km. If you use the Optimal and Falloff script, you will be in optimal range. That is not good.

3) I would highly suggest using 2 tracking disruptors, except, well, you can't. Not unless you want to give up one of the following:

- Warp Disruptor
- Stasis Webifier
- Capacitor Booster
- Microwarpdrive

I would not suggest getting rid of any of those.

So basically, sure, use a tracking disruptor, it might help in some circumstances. Just don't rely on it.
