Fail fitting: the next level

Back in the days…many years ago when I started EVE Online, my first ship loss against another player was a Catalyst. A pretty fail-fitted Catalyst. But what the heck, it’s time for the next level!

Reminder. Back then I stole from a Can and was quite rightly “punished” for it and taken out of my ship. It was super exciting, thrilling and I was ashamed to be caught stealing.
For you I dug through no less than 50 pages of zkillboard and finally found what I was looking for: https://zkillboard.com/kill/15040619/

So the aim is to take the fitting like this and take it to the next level. This actually turned out to be more difficult than I thought, because the killmails were generated a little differently and no information about the position of the respective modules was transferred to the new system. I tried around a bit and the following original fitting came out:

[Catalyst, *Derp*]
Small Armor Repairer I
Overdrive Injector System I

1MN Afterburner I
Stasis Webifier I

Light Electron Blaster I
Light Electron Blaster I
Light Electron Blaster I
Light Electron Blaster I
Anode Light Ion Particle Cannon I
75mm Gatling Rail I
125mm Railgun I

The next step was to upgrade the fitting to my current technology level. So just fit all the modules in the T2 variant:

[Catalyst, *Derp Pro version*]
Overdrive Injector System II
Small Armor Repairer II
Damage Control II

1MN Afterburner II
Stasis Webifier II

Light Electron Blaster II
Light Electron Blaster II
Light Electron Blaster II
Light Electron Blaster II
Light Electron Blaster II
125mm Railgun II
75mm Gatling Rail II
Light Electron Blaster II

Small Transverse Bulkhead I
Small Transverse Bulkhead I
Small Transverse Bulkhead I

I also added a Damage Control II and an Electron Blaster II.

Equipped with this fail-fit, I set out to spread fear and terror among the Amarr in the Faction Warfare area. However, it was a Tuesday evening. The European Championship was on. Germany is playing England, followed by Ukraine against Sweden, it’s the round of sixteen and nobody wanted to play EVE Online.
I admit that I was also cherry-picking. In Faction Warfare, it’s a case of rock-paper-scissors and I know that I won’t be able to fight against certain ships with such an unusually fit Catalyst.
So I logged out after about an hour and postponed the project to another time. I will definitely deliver a killmail of some sort though.

When was the last time you were in a fail fitting or unusual fitting? Tell us about it in the comments!
