| nano or Nanofaggotry as it's referred to in eve is based upon going as fast as possible, 4-5km is bare minimum (and that doesn't include expensive fittings or implants), 8-12km is what you'll see from nanos with said expensive fittings and implants.
The natural counter to nano ships are things such as webs and neutralizers. However the range limitation on these mods (10 and 25km, ~40km using recons with bonuses to these ranges) just means that nano ships engage outside of retaliation range. Not to mention a typical nano gang includes recons, rapiers and curses specifically, which are the ships which get the bonuses to webs and neuts. ie the only weapon to counter nano fag ships the nano fags have in order to prevent you from countering them.
they're great at killing off lone ships, but they can't do shit to any sort of organized gang. Problem is they can run away, their speed allows them to disengage from fights at will so the best you can do is make them go away, not kill them. |
