Expectations from Blood Raider Covenant

[Simongreyman]

What kind of ships should i expect from the Blood Raider in 0.4 Amarr Solar Systems. Can I handle them with 4 or 5 Federation Navy Hobgoblins?

Blood raider ships are of, or similar to, Amarrian design. They use lasers (EM/Thermal damage), energy neutralizers, and some tracking disrupters.

The hobgoblins are a decent choice but drones don’t matter as much as the ship fielding them. What ship are you using?

[Simongreyman]

I will be mining in 0.4 sec with a retriever.... So naturally better pirates are expected... That's why I am asking.....

[Harrison]

Ehh... I’d really recommend a procurer for that. It’s designed to mine in dangerous places and as such does more damage with drones and can fit an actual tank.

Put some warp core stabilizers in the low slots so you can maybe run away from other players. Or, buffer tank it out the wazoo and put a warp disruptor on it, and try kill the players that come calling.

All a retriever is going to do is die. It might last against npcs, but players will shred it in no time.

Biggest NPC threat you'll find in low belts are "Clone Soldier" cruisers. Of course as noted above, players will be your biggest concern. Learn how to use the directional scanner and if anything's getting too close to you, warp off.

So in 0.4, players are the main concern.....

[Harrison]

Players are probably the main concern anywhere, to be honest.
