I go shock with my shark so I can run mines while cloaked imo. Aphasic just doesn't help enough. I mean, if you're about to get killed by bullets in a base, there are definately more to follow -.- I go carnot with shark. Icefire is too hard to control imo. Trap terr would go Reso sphere + H2 ramscoop + power strip + parallel relay + trap laser or Naquadah Gen. + Reflection drive + power strip + parallel relay + trap laser The second one seems better as you're a tiny bit faster + you get 1 extra recharge (I believe) As for Pulse vs Trap Trap takes your sig spot. has multi, less nrg usage, slower delay Pulse is cheap, no multi, more nrg usage, faster delay I'd say they're pretty even. Just a note though: Although you're more likely to hit with trap, the ammo usage is 7 for trap and 5 for pulse. I personally switched back to pulse from trap because you can reach higher btys with pulse before running out of ammo, but it's really personal preference. Plus, it only cost me 7k to switch back <_<
