I love the Kronos and use it pretty often. It doesn't require Officer/Deadspace mods to faceroll any Level 4.
This is the fit I use, 1000 DPS @ 47+49 and will tank 700+ Serp and 900+ Guristas.
The AB slot is pretty universal, Web, ECCM, SeBo, whatever. I really recommend using Faction ammo at all times, its cheap and doesn't use very much.

A couple points:

I know of several situations where cap stability is important, both in PvE and PvP. However, usually, without extenuating circumstances, it is an prohibitively expensive goal to achieve!

When you have 4 Modules and 2x Rigs to make you cap stable, you should have a really, really good reason for it!!!! Especially, when a cap booster can provide the necessary cap, and takes up 1 Module and some cargo space.

1 Module + Cargo space (and the Kronos has excess cargo space) vs 6 fitting slots ( = tank, damage, webs, trackers, etc).
^^ Your either a noob, or have a really compelling reason to fit for cap stability!

Reasons Against Cap Stability: Efficiency... Your ship will function better and more efficiently if you manage your cap.
Reasons for Cap Stability: Your fighting lengthy engagements, you don't have the cargo space to spare, and you don't have regular access to cap boosters.


There are 5 settings for a ship though. Cap boosted, short burn, long burn, cap stable, excess cap. For exploration I've always gravitated towards long burn, and for missions, cap boosted.

On a long burn ship in a lowsec or null ded, I can rebuffer the capacitor at the gate before warping after a long pocket, and that takes less time than I would typically lose to the lack of an applied dps mod that cap stable would have enforced on me. Particularly if that applied dps mod was eccm and I was thus avoiding being forced to tank gurista for random lengths of time doing 0 dps. In a long WH encounter you can rebuffer a long burn ship by kiting the trigger whenever the trigger is the last ship, and again, you usually get stuff done faster.
