The lone wolf Devoter contest
UPDATE: Contest closed! Winners have been announced.
Before we get to the heart of the matter, a little background. About two years back, I bought a Devoter via trade because it was a good deal and I knew it was not a scam. It was fully fitted and I was thinking of reselling it for a small premium. The ship was damaged however, so I could not create a contract for it. To make matters worse, the station did not have repair facilities and I was a few months off actually flying the thing. In short, the ship was not going anywhere because I did not want to repackage it and lose the rigs.
Two years later, Aeon finally has the skills to fly one and the ship is nowhere to be found anymore. I do not know/recall what happened to it, but the fact is it disappeared without a trace. I was not going to let that stop me, so I bought a brand new one. This is where you come in: I need a good fitting for the ship, Battleclinic only has fleet fittings and the official forums are infested by trolls. I thought why not try a contest instead… Let’s see 
The contest
What’s the challenge? Well, I want a lone wolf fitting. I know the ship is designed for fleet ops, but I am a hardcore solo player and I want to use it on my own, without any wingmen at all.
These are the rules:
- You may use any T1, T2 and Faction module
- You may use any rig
- You may not use any implants
- You may not use any deadspace or officer gear
- NO fleet-related fittings! Solo only
- Create a fit with EFT, paste your fit in comments (use EFT’s copy to clipboard functionality)
- For easier comparison between fits, use the All Level 5 template
- Write a short description of how the fitting is meant to be used
- Any additional details like optimal skills is apreciated but not mandatory
- Contest closes noon on monday, 17th may 2010. I will post the results in the afternoon the same day.
Note: any comments about using the Devoter for anything else than fleet ops being idiotic I will just delete, so don’t even bother.
Rewards
1st place:
An Abaddon Battleship, worth about 120 Mil
2nd place:
A Harbinger Battlecruiser with 3x CCC rigs fitted, worth about 30 Mil
3rd place:
A Jaguar OR Wolf Assault Frigate , worth about 20 Mil
4th place:
An Ocular Filter Standard implant (+4 perception), worth about 20 Mil
5th place:
An Eifyr and Co. ‘Gunslinger’ AX-1 hardwiring (+3% turret tracking) OR an Inherent Implants ‘Lancer’ G1-Epsilon hardwiring (+3% large energy turret damage), worth about 20 Mil
The jury will be myself and I will rate entries on their originality but also the potential of actually using the fit and doing something with it.
Let’s see those fittings

Some statistics and info before EFT fit.
Dual repper.
Ability to Neut smaller ships to get away from tackling.
Nos to stay cap stable in certain circumbstances.
Cap stable. 222dps // 567 omni defence.
85.5/81.1/89.1/94.2 resistances.
DPS is little low, but also irrelevant if you can tank quite many gangs in this one, specially minmatar ships. Also can be used to ratting/missions/plexes.
Orbit at 6.5K, web/scramble enemy and try to stay there by activating and deactivating AB as need arises. So you are away from enemy optimal and stay at your optimal range.

A range solo fit, that speed should be enough to be out of range for a while, and when someone starts coming towards you, just burn him, 0 transversal = pop.
As for small ships, give ‘em few rounds of neuts and im sure they’ll become slow enough to lose transversal to that famous 0, which again leads to = pop.
With good skills you have enough cap to last thru the fight, and that cap booster is in case of other ships neuting you.
And don’t laugh, it was a free contest, and i gave you something different

Cap is going to be…fun to manage, but if you manually run your tank it’s not too bad. DPS w/ heat is 324, MWD’s @ just over 1.2kms. Tanks rather well (like all HICs) with 448 without heat – throw in heat and exile and you can send the tank to a potential of 725.
Throwing faction at this would help in places – not so much to alleviate fitting, but to build upon the (average) DPS and further boost the tank. The neut is purely to help fight off frigates.

Cap-stable, tanks an omni of just under 350, and deals 283dps. Not stellar, but about all i could push out of it. However since it’s a PVE build you don’t need your point, so you get two free highslots. Also bearing in mind T1 crystals dont break, this should work quite well for low-level W-space anom running. cap-stable with everything running, (fairly) fast and switching to scorch gives you a decent damage projection.
You could improve this with faction cap mods+damage mods to boost the DPS and possibly free up another slot for more tank/a web/tracking computer, but that’s up to you.
Interesting challenge

And hey btw, put rigs on that my fit as you like, prolly best with dmg or speed mods
Ps. I like this website and all the content you have loaded it with
May 8th, 2010 at 01:12
Unfortunately, many fits require a +3% cpu or pg implant to fit, i think you should remove that restriction.

@Fugusha Kisai: I know implants can help a lot, but you can’t rely on always having the right clone on hand, and many solo uses are not only dangerous for your ship, but also for your pod – and implants.
It’s more challenging this way, but if you feel the fit you want to submit relies on that, post it anyway and add which implants are needed in your description. I will take a look at it.

Also, warp scrambler is to shut off the enemy’s MWD, web is to -60% speed them. This way there’s no escape from your bubble, and you’ll crack a pod too.

I have only taken cruiser sice ships and some battlecruiser pilots with low sp on gates due to sentry guns hurting.
Without sentrys and while orbiting at 509m/s I would engage all expect Curse recon ships.

I dont know much about pvp, but I know this kind of tank is very resiliant. The NOS are optional. Since the ship lacks drones if an interceptor locks you down you will have a hard time to get it off you (‘thanks’ to the lack of missiles too), that’s why I added a webifier and the NOS, so you can slow them down to shoot them, or drain them until they run out of cap and are forced to let you go. The tank works best if you activate the second repper when the first is at the middle of its cycle.
This kind of tanks works wonders in missions, and I guess it could also work on low class WHs.

Designed with Syteks opposition to piracy in mind, this Devoter attempts to catch the nasty pirates as they travel between systems catching them on gates. Able to lock a typical cruiser hull in less than 2 seconds and be able to keep up with most of them when they try to run. This fit has very high resists 68/79/76/87 and a reasonable(ish) dps of 224 with Scorch, 282 with Multi. Having positive sec status while sitting on a gate along with a respectable tank means that it’s a hardy pirate who will brave the wrath of your dps & sentry guns to try and kill you so basically you can pick and choose your fights.
I doubt operating this ship as a bait ship in pvp to lure pirates to attack you would work, as who is their right mind parks a HIC in a belt?
