    Diamond is the best for me. With it I can kill PVE all night and not go to port that often.
     
  6. Ring would be next on my list then drill and lastly wheel. Wheel is a good one for escaping nmes.
     
  7. i bought drill and its really good, i think ring will be my next formation
     
  8. Best formations are Ring (for running), Drill (for kiting and killing) and Diamond (for tanking and killing). You can waive the rest.

    I have never used Drill formation, so I am curious how good is this formation in gates compared to Moth formation? :)
     
  10. I can't even describe how much more better it is than moth.
     
  11. I use moth on all gates, never tried drill on gates yet

    Even if you don't do insane damage? Let's say FE ship? :)

    Thanks for the feedback.
     

  13. Drill gives you 20% more damage. It is easy to calculate. I am not UFE and I do much more damage with drill.

    Of course, but Moth penetrates the HP of the NPC. I have not clue if it is better to penetrate them with the damage, or shoot them with Drill's boost :)
     
  15. With Drill you still have your shields up and with Moth you pretty much are losing your shields and just have HP.

    Honestly, for me was never a problem to do gates with no shield and Moth formation. But that was ages before the Drill. :) Drill's boost seem nice and useful when flying on maps too (not just in gates).
     
  17. drill usefull doing npcs like kristallon and killing enemies
