Abyssal Deadspaces are a lot of fun and a great way to make ISK. The Punisher is pretty special in that it can run T1s!

Benzin: it's alpha-friendly skillwise!
Also benzin: so, here's full T2 set of modules...
Yeah, just downgrade to what you can use
@@captainbenzie but will it be able to run T1s like that?
@VictorLozne no, only Tranquil
Thank you for the fit, I have tried the fit and for the first time completed T1 abyss space. And my first room was actually a battleship one
Awesome! Glad I was able to help!!
I did a few runs with my *Retribution* and I tell ya: it rips through T1 like its nothing.
It is slower (800vs1000ms) but using microwave crystals to kill containers on 35-40+ km it saves a lot of time to find out if its empty or not and evens out.
It also can lock on 50 (not 31) which is great for target management (especially in combination with range) and killing battleships and alike is just a blast. Also saves lots of time.
I think its worth paying 1x 60mio for the ship and all vs paying 16~20mio for a Punisher which struggles a lot more. I ruined quite a few fooling around.
(though to be fair i am used to Maelstroms very long range and sturdy back :p).
Oddly enough i survived 3x the 'dangerous ones' that look like Warrior I (overheating with a sliver of hull) ... only to die to a stray shot of a bs i was about to orbit >.o
Anyway, I think Retribution was a great purchase and made me ~23m in 1hr. So 2.5hrs and you make raw profit.
Oh and btw: those containers on the sidelines - anything further than 50km is not worth it. They mostly got 3-500k drops for 2~3 minutes of flight.
I think if you run (mostly) straight for the main crate you can increase your Isk/h by a lot (30m/h?) since the main container has the 1.5~2m per room you are after.
Though if they are close or you got enemies swarming you that take a moment to die, there is nothing wrong with a minor detour...
(swapping those lasers for 20 less DPS you may fit a Salvager I or II into the empty top slot or ... whatever you want)

Thank you for all your excellent videos!! Always very informative, giving options, and explaining the pros and cons of the fit. As you say, not that you are an expert, but you provide a nice option to launch us into having some fun.
I appreciate that! Glad you're enjoying!

Me: "Aw. But what if I _want_ to?" 😢
Then I show you spectacular ways to do it!
2 times tankier so you don"t get 1 shot by a random wrecking shot, 20% more dps and cap stable and cost less than 10M. thanks for the vid !!!

Awesome!! Glad to see you tweaked the fit and made it even better!!
I just tried this little gem fit. Pretty damn amazing. Paid for itself in two runs. And the runs weren't easy either. Had two rooms with photic overmind straight after one another and two rooms with marshalls straight after one another. Took 5 minutes to kill the photics but it took almost no damage. The marshalls were even easier. The hardest were lancers, where I had to use scorch and they kept on trying to get me over the abyssal barrier.
@@disekjoumoer nice, well done!!
@@disekjoumoer
use these cheap implants , i usually heat guns on overmind. After a little practice with the fit you can loose the damage controller and put on an other heat sink for 277 dps cold.

@ezequielsantos5487 good luck!!
Nice, this is exactly the same build as the one I designed in my video. I admit your video is much more pleasant to watch, well done.
I like the look of this fit, as a missile pilot I would like to try the Vengeance like this, with its bonus to cap recharge, armor resist and Missiles (using Mjolnirs)
Yup, the Vengeance is a great ship for soloing lower tier Abyssals!
Your Veng would also do well in Darks. No dmg hole, so you have to learn what enemies are weak to what damage types. But turret range is hindered in them, so bigger things will have a tough time hitting you.
Darks also have the added bonus of being way cheaper per filament than their electric counterparts, and at 3x per frig run. The math speaks for itself.
Thank you for that.. awesome video. Can't wait to do this.
Have fun!
i feel like it might be easier to deal with those random high damage hits if you just through some Armor plates or something on there in a low slot instead of one of those heat sinks. you can make up the damage by switching out the ammo and decreasing the range of your orbit. that ship has armor resistance boost so a little armor will go a long way in making sure you don't get destroyed by a few lucky shots that will eventually come.
Benzie......in an Amarr ship....????? Did his account get hacked by a very convincing, similar sounding person?
Lmao there are a few ships I do enjoy and there's a few more Amarr ship videos coming soon!
I actually tried a t1 abyss with a speedtank Crusader as a challenge. It's neat because the crusader has really good turret tracking. I managed to do the first run quite well. Did a second run and died against a Kikimora and Tessella, but that's because I didn't target the right NPC first. The first run I targeted the Kikimora first and got through alive. This is in firestorm to go on the safe side.
This is my T1 crusader fit, cap stable. EHP is about 3.1k, focused on armor resists, and conflag damage is about 700, OH about 800. AB speed is max 1500, but when orbiting at close range it drops to 1000 (so I would orbit 1km below the optimal range of Conflag to account for the speed and it roughly lands on the optimal range). This fit does T0 really easy.

when the wreck of the cache comes in range, the loot all button is on your keybord's enter key by default. So, you don't need to spam mouseclicks, just keep one hand over the enter key till the cargo window opens, while keeping the other hand on the mouse.
Yeah, I know this, but I find I often have chat and so end up just opening a message instead because that's ALSO return 😂
Punisher was my first Amarr Frigate. Just bought it for the sexy looks. Now with shifting armor ~ yeah, i can see how it would slap this. EM beast ♥ It gets Funisher with Punisher
That is an excellent quote! 😂
The off-set reppers also helps the cap recharge better.
Correct
Using the punisher, flying Lvl1 is as easy as flying lvl0 with a Thrasher.
Exchanging "shield penalty" vs "i am armor and dont give a toss" is a HUGE deal! It works so much better... and the ammo is also a lot cheaper i think.
btw I thought about *anchoring a container* outside of my favorite Abyss spot so i dont have to drop on a station too often (in case i fuck up. that bs at the end kinda punches hard
You can use a Mobile Depot for storage between runs which can help.
great video, I needed this.
Glad to help!!
This fit works 9/10 times. But, the Devoted Knight will wreck it. Any advice for getting this past a DK? I’ve tired at range, but can’t do enough DPS with Aurora and if I get closer it neuts me out. I tried to orbit it at 1000 but that didn’t work either.
Unfortunately, for some fits in Abyssals, you simply have to accept that a roll of the dice can screw you. That's factored into the price of the ship (and that you should TECHNICALLY be doing Abyssals as THREE frigates 😅 not that anyone does)
Im lost what skills are needed to reduce the capacitor needs for this build. Im at -11 GJ/s (-75.6%) following this build. Its not feasible to fly this build with that level of capacitor.
Capacitor Management, Capacitor Systems Operation, and Controlled Bursts are your friends here!
Did you check that while you're in the abyssal instance ? you need to in order to know really what's your capacitor inside it
If you want a suggestion for some followup videos as kind of a natural progression from the Punisher, you could try the Retribution in higher tiers and even go up to T5 (personally only played firestorms with this comp) with 2 retris and a deacon. Works wonders, haven't lost a ship. Granted when I was doing them around 1 year or so ago I was doing it with a couple of friends, but I've seen some other videos at the time too with people triple boxing.
And like others are saying, reset the RAH between rooms once you get into higher tiers, it does make a difference.
Awesome, I'll check it out, thank you!!
I was skeptical when using this and i was damm right, Sparkgrip Tessera wrecked me in like 1 min.
I have to stay close to it to live but it wrecks me when i get close as well
thanks for the video, going to try it out, can you upload the fit to abysstracker? so maybe we can collect some performance stats on this fit
I'll see what I can do!
Would have liked to see you face a Devoted Knight.
Use radio ammo and keep and range 21km so the capacitor drainer isn’t in range (its range is 20km) radio ammo can shoot up to 24 km
A Tip: take some gleam along and use it when within the range of a multibody tracking pylon, like you were in the second room.
Great tip!
@@captainbenzie Gleam also has a 25% tracking bonus and has almost the same range as multifrequency.
somehow it seems i'm watching too many of your vids ^^....i think i told you i played a bit in 2019 and it was amarr.....today i was gonna go and sell all my stuff of this amarr char but then i remembered i had such a fun time with my rifter ( gonna be the next vid i watch )...so where to look ...ofc at your vids . so now ill keep my ammarr stuff and also play this char again .....all your "fault" haha ! excellent video again ! oh one question i forgot ...how do you overheat stuff like afterburners or other things ?
Did a full video on overheating here: th-cam.com/video/UNfTmug4X6A/w-d-xo.html
Hope it helps and really glad you're having fun!!
@@captainbenzie oh nice ..thx !
Thanks alot, this should help me get my first T1, will update if it works.
Good luck!
@@captainbenzieSo I've come into a roadblock, can I make it with only 1 Small Armor Repairer II I lack the proper skills to make them both online at the same time
Amarr ships are the best looking ships in the game.
To each their own! As I said in my Legion video, there are many Amarr ships that I like the shape of, I just really don't like the gold and ivory colour scheme. 😅
I'm a Minmatar fanboy, but there are plenty of other ships from other factions that I really like! So, for me, the Vengeance looks better than the Punisher simply because of the skin (but I do love the Punisher!)
ok so i'm a new player in eve and I play since 3 weeks. (I tried abyssals since only 10 days, i was mainly an explorer before that, that's how i made my first fifty millions isk that made me able to fit my punishers to do t0 abyssals)
I cleared my first electrical t1 thanks to your fit after 3 or 4 tried that destroyed my ships.
but i have some things to ask:
How do you deal (in t1 electrical) with the striking Leshaak ? Even with its low health he deals a lot of damage and sometimes brings my ship to very low health (even when everything is active), I try to close the gap as fast as possible each time but the damages don't seem to be reduced. I don't really understand every fight mecanics in the game for the moment but maybe it's better to try to turn around the Leshaak so its turret are not able to track me correctly ? The problem is that this bastard is actually very fast for a battleship. For the moment i just rush toward him while shooting him, maybe that's not the best strategy lol.
The Kikimora seems to be a fierce enemy too. Is rushing and shooting him as fast as possible the best way to kill him ? Or is there some tricks like for the devoted hunter in t0 where you can outrange him to avoid to be greatly damaged ?
Speaking about devoted enemies, I saw on the wiki that a devoted knight can spawn in t1 abyss rooms. Is the strategy to outrange that ship still available or do I actually have to rush him to try to mess with its turret tracking ? I'm pretty anxious about these devoted guys, when i began in the t0 abyss, they gave me a harsh time
I have another question, a lot of the battleships in t1 seems to have low accuracy against me. But something happened that made the "Photic Abyssal Overmind" hit me everytime he shoot making its damages unbeareable even with everything activated. I wasn't able to reach him before I died. That's when there is the blue cloud that gives you a 300% penalty on your signature. Do you have any advices to not be annihilated by that ?
A last thing, maybe you should add in the description that skills that give you more CPU and power grid have to be maxed to actually fit everything.
Anyway, that's actually a great video that helped me a lot in my abyssal quest. Thanks a lot !
(sorry for my bad english, i'm not a native)
and have a nice day !
o7 see you in new eden
Glad you enjoyed! I did mention the CPU/PG skills in the video 😅
For most of the issues in Abyss, you're right there. Rushing face first can be risky since you have zero angular velocity and are therefore easy for turrets to hit. Approach at an angle to close the gap whilst being harder to track.
Blue clouds make your signature HUGE. You may have to avoid flying through one, try spiraling around it
You should turn your reactive hardner off then back on between rooms. This resets it so it can align to the damage of the next room. This is because once it aligns to damage it keeps those resists till you turn it off.
Reactive Hardeners will still realign. If you have one at, say, 10/10/20/20 and you start taking more EM damage, it'll eventually rejig to something like 30/10/10/10
Switching off between rooms just resets it to 15/15/15/15, but since the vast majority of Abyssal enemies deal Thermal, if you have a decent Thermal resist stack, it's better to keep it running.
could a vedmak run t2 or 3?
I get CPU and Power Grid Overload and my CPU Management and Weapon Upgrades are at IV. Do I need them both at V??
Possibly. Those are skills you should max quickly.
@@captainbenzie Both at V, maxed?
use implants check the other skills in engineering make sure there high too@@poppopkrypton1136
I'm tempted to just make an Amarr character once I reach my 5Mil cap to specialize in those ships and doing filaments to fund my main as I tangled very early on into FW and this seems like the least effort way to do T1s, or maybe I should focus on the Guristas tree for a Worm... I'll have a lot of time experimenting with minmaxed alts once I reach that goal.
Hello nice video, how much dps do I need to pass t1?
Aim for 140+
@captainbenzie ty u are the best
Thanks!
Welcome!
Why do you do abbyss in frigate wouldn't a cruiser be more safe??
Yes, true, but a frigate triples the amount of loot available
My fit says not enough CPU for the last Small Armor Repairer II. Am I lacking a skill upgrade?
Could be. Make sure you're CPU Management 5
12:28 is this a nod to Nostalgia Critic or just coincidence?
I have no idea who that is, so I assume coincidence 🤔
@@captainbenzie
Nostalgia Critic opens/closes his videos with "I REMEMBER IT SO YOU DONT HAVE TO!"
and well, here you are, dying - so we dont have to :p
Tried this fit (without the tech 2 weapons). Got destroyed in t0 abyss by a skybreaker. It wasn't the damage- I was too slow to keep up and get into optimal. What skills should I train?
Acceleration Control and Afterburner. Also, don't be afraid to overheat your AB or weapons sometimes.
Thanks! What skills would you recommend to fly T1s comfortably?@@captainbenzie
When I put in the fit one module goes offline
That means you need more Powergrid or CPU. Train Powergrid Management or CPU Management skills. If it's Powergrid, also train Weapons Upgrades.
You should reset (deactivate / activate) the Reactive Armor Hardener between Rooms.
I tried this on a few runs and found so few issues with just leaving it running. Sure, resetting it returns it to equal resists, but I never found it necessary.
@@captainbenzie I guess in T1 it's not really necessary. But it helps if you do a dumb error and receive full damage. Especially if the rooms do a different damage type.
Why are you not using Aurora or Gleam crystals? I thought that was the benefit of going to the II's? (Im new ;-))
I'm using both in this video, mostly Gleam, but it does depend on what enemies you're shooting at.
@@captainbenzie ahh ok, I’m still learning (hence watching all your great stuff!)
Can I not run t2 weapons if I'm playing with a friend ?
You can use T2 weapons if you have the skills, yes, and if you fleet up for Abyssals, you can do T2 with this ship, but obviously splitting the loot.
@@captainbenzie I tried that fit in t1 with a friend, and we got into a room with 3 frigates who werez dealing electric-thermal damage, and we got annihilated. Any Idea how to fix that ?
This makes me a bit jealous. I just lost a 100mil retribution doing tier 1 abyss this morning. I had over 200dps and still couldn't complete the run. I ran into a photic abyssal hive mind that had the most insane tank ever. I blasted it for 5min and still couldn't take it down and I lost to the timer.
Oof, need to really use that Multifrequency or Gleam.
Dude i was doing t1 darks in t2 hookbill and i had 200dps and had three rooms of overminds and died to timer
Im gonna try this. Big Pun is born!!
Good luck! o7
I just got a coercer. Is that as capable? Although I’m still doing missions. No idea how to or what a dead space is in eo.
To understand Abyssal Deadspaces, I have a video here about doing them in a Tristan that covers the basics.
Coercer can easily do T0s and some T1s, with the right fit.
An excellent video.
Glad you enjoyed it
wanted to try this to move up to t1 but i cant bc it needs small energy turret 5 and i used my skill points on all the capacitor stuff, in two weeks when i can i will give it a test if i havent gotten bored and quit from spamming t0's
I must be an idiot, I survived 2 battleship waves and then got destroyed in the third by a Kikimora, I've no idea what happened as to why I got destroyed, I targeted and hit it first and left the Damavik second, but I got the Kiki down to half shields before I was wrecked. Should I have taken out the Damavik first?
I was deeply disappointed having taken down 2 Karybdis waves only to go down in the third!
can you do one for the cruiser like Caracal?
The abyssal sites take 1 player in a cruiser, and will be more time efficient than running them in a single frigate although less loot (you can co-op 2 destroyers or 3 frigates). A caracal is a good choice, research each type of site for what damage to deal and take the right missiles in with you.
You get MORE loot in a Frigate.
When you go as Frigate, it triples the loot assuming you'll take three frigates.
If you go as a Destroyer, it doubles the loot.
So if you go solo, you get MUCH more loot in frigates or destroyers.
I'll be covering some Abyssal Cruisers soon.
Cool I’m super newb. Got one of these.
Hope you enjoy it!
While lighting basically focused flashlights at your targets can cause chaos, i rather just shove an entire barn into a cannon barrel and throw it at something... then that is true anarchy!
Even while i am starting out as an industrialist (air career helps a lot... just idk how to get to lowsec without getting dunked), i will try out the more combat-oriented side of the game
As i just would like to blow shit up with a stabber (or whatever i will be able to afford and use for it, but i want a cannon ship)
I wonder what that thing (or a rupture) can do in abyssals. As if its worth it, i will build a few... just to blow them up lol
Rupture can work, I'll have a video on that soon. And yup, I love cannons too!
How do you do the battlecruiser/ battleship rooms?
my first abyssal run and I get a fackin Lucid Deepwatcher against my punisher.... I couldn't kill it at all in the first room.
2nd time going in I got wrecked by kikimora and didn't even last 15 seconds. 8million+ isk down the drain
Learning how to fly the ship and target priority is just as important as having the right fit. Don't give up, just maybe run some T0s (Tranquils) to start with!
what do i have to train i don't have enough power or CPU?
"Powergrid Management", "CPU Management" (both under Engineering) and "Weapons Upgrades" are a good starting point, but take a look through for anything that reduces PG/CPU usage.
Did you use any implants? Ty
@@brunobejuk6350 nope, clean clone
Ty. Realy like your videos. Just started eve. Need to get used to long skilling. But keep it up :)
@@captainbenzie Last one. The ship is working perfectly. Nice guide. But how do i kill the devoted knight. i Got him 3 times in the last room. And he time he killed me every time.
I got a spare microwave S at home so I tried it I was soso, but great mix of damage.
bought the tech 1 lasers accidentally got absolutely smacked, :)
Ouch!!
Returning player looking up all this new content, does this activity lower your standings with the Triglavian?
No
i just had 3 times bs in a cam elec, and got me killed in my corraxe destroyer
I was skeptical when using this and i was damm right, Sparkgrip Tessera wrecked me in like 1 min.
I have to stay close to it to live but it wrecks me when i get close as well
I survived just fine, may be a skill issue?
Tesseras shouldn't be brawled, but kited. It has like 4000 tracking and optimal at 15km. Keep it at further than that with long range crystals and you should be fine.
why don't you like the Ammar ships ??
It's just a personal preference. They're great ships, I just don't enjoy lasers much, nor do I like the design of many of them (especially the bone/gold colour scheme). Also, I'm a Minmatar fanboy ☺️
Don't worry, it's just a kind of running joke on the channel.
Lost this fit against a Kikimora and a Vedmak
Abyssals always have risk and piloting skill can make or break. It'll survive those rooms, keep trying! Good luck
@@captainbenzie It wasn't my first attempt at abyssal, however I do agree with you with better piloting skills I may have been able to survive. Still it was very close lol
10:30 you are an even bigger one for not including the paste in your FITTING you linked to everyone XDD
Yup, sounds about right!!
how how much do you make per run on average?
It's a very cool looking ship! too bad it's energy weapons... i have them trained up but I prefer railguns.
To each their own! Railguns are cool too (I have all smalls maximised)
first XD
Congrats! 🚀
