1. Loki (Standard)

Design Notes

Use: Vanguard, Assault (cruiser dps), HQ (cruiser dps) and Kundalini Manifest.

The Loki is mainly utilized as fleet webber, due to its unique Immobility Drivers sub-system.
Its webbing range is similar to the Bhaalgorn.

Additionally, it has adequate range and dps to serve as a good cruiser/frigate swatter.
There is enough resist and buffer for it to be used in all sites, including the Kundalini Manifest.

Not recommended as a starter ship for incursions.

The resist focus is towards the EM/Therm side to minimize Sansha laser damage - this is the greater danger.
Sansha missiles don't do significant damage due to the already high Kin/Exp resist, low signature radius and AB.

A faction EANM is fitted in favor of a Damage Control II due to limitations in slot count.

Special Note 1
Proper utilization of the dual-web is critical to ensure the ALL fleet dps is applied effectively.
Approaching (not orbiting) Sansha cruisers/battleship should only be webbed down at around 15km or below.
This allows the fleet to use high dps short ranged ammo, shortening the kill time.

Special Note 2
It's role as fleet webber is overshadowed by Paladin/Vindicator/Kronos with a good offgrid fleet booster running Skirmish Link - Interdiction Maneuvers.
The fleet booster extends the (faction) webbing range up 15-20km depending on the offgrid pilot's skill/ship.
For vanguards, in most scenarios, the Loki's web range advantage will be under-utilized.

Note1:
The anti-explosive pump is fitted to improve the Kin/Exp buffer.
The alternative trimark armor pump is unecessary due to the extremely high EM/Therm resistance.
This increases survivability against fighter bomber damage from the Kundalini Manifest site.

Note2:
T2 webifiers may be used to save cost.
The range penalty is negligible as most targets should ONLY be webbed down under 15-20km.

Note3:
The propulsion subsytem can be re-shuffled according to demand without impacting the entire configuration.
Chassis Optimization - gives higher base speed but lower agility.
Intercalated Nanofibers - gives highest agility but slower base speed.

Note4:
It is STRONGLY recommended that a 10MN AB be fitted for Assault, HQ and the Kundalini Manifest
This greatly increases survivability against alpha damage from being primaried by Sansha laser snipers and short/mid-range laser dps.

2. Loki (Balanced)

Design Notes

Use: Vanguard, Assault (cruiser dps), HQ (cruiser dps) and Kundalini Manifest.

A minor variation of the standard Loki with improved dps and passive resist.
One trimark armor pump is swapped out for a T2 projectile weapon rig.

The T2 Projectile Collision Accelerator can be swapped for a T2 Projectile Burst Aerator for 2.3% extra dps.
However, ammo consumption will be increased by roughly 13-14%.

Note1:
An anti-explosive pump is fitted to improve the Kin/Exp buffer.
The alternative trimark armor pump is unecessary due to the extremely high EM/Therm resistance.
This increases survivability against fighter bomber damage from the Kundalini Manifest site.

3. Loki (Gank)

Design Notes

Use: Vanguard, Assault (cruiser dps), HQ (cruiser dps) and Kundalini Manifest.

A variation of the balanced Loki with 10% more dps.
Further reduction in resist to release 1 low slot for an extra gyrostabilizer (or tracking enhancer).
The anti-explosive pump is swapped out for an anti-kinetic pump.

The T2 Projectile Collision Accelerator can be swapped for a T2 Projectile Burst Aerator for 2.3% extra dps.
However, ammo consumption will be increased by roughly 13-14%.

Note1:
