Missions & Complexes

Hrm? I'm not seeing any issues. What else are you trying to do with it? Cruise or torp? What kind of prop mod, if any?

You can save a lot of CPU with faction hardeners(not that expensive) and a dead space L booster(what provides enough tank for L4 in my opinion).

Rack of cruise, 4 T2 BCUs, Pith-B LSB, painter, 2 T2 hardeners, and a utility mid (T2 hardener, T2 boost amp -- so you know you have CPU to spare, prop mod) seems to fit just fine. Just drop the XL booster.

As for trying to eke cap out of those last lows... I dunno. CFCs are pretty awkward, CPRs hurt your boost, and PDUs really don't do much for you. I think you're stuck using the rigs for that.

Shield is the way to go IMO. It does require slight pimpage but nothing terrible.

Armor phoon lives longer than sheild phoon in pve.

Typhoon is a great ship. It does shield tank very well for level 4 missions. however it requires very good skills to make the most of it.

to top up your CPU you can use a rig slot for a processor over clocking rig, plug in a CPU implant and/or the two gen set implants.

As others have said faction hardeners make a huge difference. 16 CPU vs 30. also faction BCS as already mentioned, better DPS boost and less CPU.

drop the flux coils, they are useless, if you need the cap PDS's will be better for you. cap recharge is not worth dropping cap capacity or shield boost amount, unless you are running a passive tank with no booster.

It takes time to build up a decent set of faction modules and know what to fit for what mission. Faction modules are as much worth the isk for the lower fitting requirements as they are for the higher boosts. I would buy a full set of faction hardeners and BCS's before buying a dead space XL booster. The higher resists means you take less damage allowing a lower booster to keep up. While higher DPS means your tank will not need to last as long before you clear the room.

The Fleet typhoon is even better, although it has doubled in price, it is still a good buy.

If you are having so much trouble fitting a typhoon, stick with a raven until you get your skills up and buy the couple faction modules you need for the typhoon fit. My faction fit raven does over 1000 DPS with cruise, has an amazing tank, and can even hit frigates with precision missiles due to the flare and 2 rigor rigs.

I can not get into game right now to post the exact fits I use, but I change it up a lot anyway and have over 50 Mil skill points on both my main mission runners.
