Anyone have a good (newish player) setup, i have been looking though battleclinic and found a couple that would be nice. What is the difference between armor hardeners vs membraines?

Hardeners are active (requires cap + activation), membranes are passive (doesn't use cap, always on)

Cap is no problem, it tears through triple BS Sansha spawns like they're soggy paper bags.

7x Heavy Pulse II
1x Prototype Cloak (optional, useful for hiding from reds)

1x 10MN Afterburner
1x Stasis Web
2x Cap Rechargers

1x Medium Armor Repairer II
2x Active Hardeners
3x Heat Sink II

Just to make sure, be sure to use Amarr ships primarily against Sansha/Raiders. Otherwise you'll run into issues.

The rig costs almost as much as the ship, I wouldn't bother putting one on.
The DCU is primarily for PVP, since it allows you to boost effective life, which is useful when you don't plan to repair as much.
Nos doesn't work against NPCs, though it gives you cap it won't drain them at all; they keep firing until dead.

well, i need something more imediate, I planned tech I heavy modals' til i can train up to tech two (roughly 39 days :-\ )

Do you have EFT? Really useful for planning ship setups so you can set up a design that will work specifically for your skills. The information is accurate and easy to read after you have just a bit of experience with it.

y-s8 vs 10MN , y-s8 provides 21m/s more for the same cpu/cap


ED: Yes, I am using eft + evemon, at the same time to compare

for ratting just run 2 active and a damage control and you should be fine
