Cloaky Loki

Heh, discovered something I hadn't realized about T3 ships. One is able to switch out sub-system while all the modules and rigs are still in the ships. Mind you if you've got shield rigs it's probably not a good idea to slip in an armor tanked subsystem, but the offensive systems are under no such constraint.

To test it out, I took my normal PvE fit Loki and simply slapped in the covert offensive sub-system. Out popped one of my turrets and the old sub-system, and a spare high slot was now available for a cov-ops cloak. No rig changes and no changes to the rest of the systems.

Sweet. My Loki can warp cloaked now...

Muahahahahahahha....

Best post title of the day.

Good to know. I don't know how many times I've seen people ask if/how you can swap sub-systems. Since I don't fly T3, now I can just point them to this.

how is easy: Open fitting window on fully fit T3 cruiser, drop new subsystem in like it's a module. the new one goes in, the old one pops out.

true indeed - however you can't do that sitting in a POS in wspace :-/

AFAIK though, my proposal for the CSM to fix this has been accepted by CCP so hopefully it will added into some future patch

Plus there's the whole "bonuses not kicking in" thing operating out of a POS.
