Ships & Modules

I am looking for universal ship for lv4 missions in ammar, galente and mimatar space. What i found so far is that Machariel is the best (well atleast on paper) . Any pro mission runners can share there experience.

At the moment i flying dominix , but new drone agro system i purely annoying with dropping an picking sentrys every minute. Only solution i found is fly 2 of them , but i dont wana multi box at the moment. So i decided drop drone ships they just dont worth trouble to fly solo and looking for other weapons systems and ships.

1) Faction BS (Mach and Vindi are best choices)
2) T3 (Tengu is good)
3) Navy BS

Obviously more pimp the better.

Vargur is also an option if you want to loot/salvage as you kill rats. You aren't going to Caldari space, so you should face gurista jamming too terribly often. A mach will probably do better, but the vargur is a close second. After that you have other pirate faction BS, navy faction BS, and t3 as solid alternatives. A sleipnir would not be a bad choice either, but it would not be the most efficient, about equal to a maelstrom.

Nice, you failed to spell any of the eve races correctly in one post. Grats.

I would look into the Adrestia or the Mimir.

I really like the rattlesnake. Can do any faction, Easy to tailor for different NPC/incoming damage and Sentries are just awesome by design. Also,pretty cheap compared to Mach and the likes.

Also, you can eventually Solo all the Epic Arcs with it, only ship able to do so. I doubt you would do such, but it's still nice to have the option.

Remove guns on that domi and you're down to 500 dps. Not that it wasn't already 500 applied dps anyway, since they're rails.

The answer is Mach, or CNR. Mach is probably closer to your skills trained, since you fly gallante. Between Mach and CNR, Mach is also the better boat. Vindi doesn't satisfy "universal ship" condition, as it can't change dmg type. Then there's the short locking range (50-60km, depending on skill), which means fitting sebos. There's also the rail suckage issue.

I'm going to zip down to the cheap side of town and suggest the 'geddon. I've been using one exclusively for level 4 missions. It's a cheap, powerful, all-around performer. You *are* stuck with regard to your choice of gun damage, and the radar strength is a little low (I've had to use ECCM on certain missions), but it's a very solid ship - I can fly literally anything sub-capital, and I still choose this for soloing level 4s.

Skill-wise: it's CPU limited, so train appropriately. As an armor-tanking ship, it benefits from various armor tanking skills.

Loadout: 7x mega modulated pulse I, tractor beam, 100MN AB, 2x cap recharger II, large armor rep II, 2x heat sink II, 4x t2 armor hardeners, DCU II, 3x T1 CCC rigs. Carry mission-specific drones (I like to carry a mix of medium and small, and mainly use them for killing scrambling frigates and ECM cruisers).

Even with solid cap/BS skills, you can't permarun your tank and guns. I very occasionally have to warp out with this to recharge, but otherwise I just toggle the armor rep as appropriate. You can drop the AB in favor of another cap recharger, but it really slows down your looting.

That's a fair point, but I don't really find a problem with either. The main problem with Guristas and this ship is the occasional jamming - it's not exactly a sensor strength powerhouse. Despite having good EM/thermal resistance, Guristas still shield tank and they still go down quickly.

Angels just barrel right up to you, which makes them easy targets: pop the frigates first (always pop the frigates first) as they speed in, then pop the cruisers. You should be able to get both before they get under your gun range (~15km). I typically kill the frigs and cruisers with IR or Xray, then switch to MF to kill the BS (which usually have barreled right to optimal for MF).

As a comparison, I switched to the Armageddon from a Raven (I have both races BS to 5, guns and launchers to 5, armor tanking skills to 5 and almost all the shield tanking skills to 5). Despite being able to choose damage in the Raven, I still took longer to do missions in the Raven than the 'geddon. I mainly attribute that to the extra time it took to loot (a fully tanked AB 'geddon is faster than a fully tanked Raven, plus you'll end up fighting more BS enemies around 20km, so you can just loot with the tractor beam as you go).
