Trying to put together a 4man boxing team could i get any thoughts/advice on this. My aim is a WH C3 solo team. I am aiming for maxing skills in first ship then migrating to next.

Main - small agile sentry trigger ship?
Alt 1 - Sentry Assist Domi > Triage Archon
Alt 2 - Sentry Assist Domi > Triage Archon
Alt 3 - 6link ship? > Command Ship

Try a 100mn tengu for the drone monkey. you will have good dps out of just the tengu alone the extra drones will be a bonus

4x Domi with FC assist Domi with faction target painter/. Facerolls C4 sites with ease. C3 should be even easier.

Edit
for C4's:
3 Domis:
2RR, 2DLA, 2 cap xfer
Adaptive, EM, Therm, extender, faction OTL
dcu2, 4 dda, fitting

paint domi, same as above instead of OTL, faction painter. 500m isk per hour easily running barracks or sis.

Cheap: 2 shield tach Oracles, 1 shield webber (Huginn, Rapier, or Loki), 1 Scythe. We steamroll all C3 sites routinely with this fleet. It scales better the more Oracles you throw at it, up to the targeting limitation around 6 of them or so and 3:30 per FFS or about 4:30 per data/relic site warp-to-warp. Scimitar instead of Scythe makes the data/relic sites much less nail-biting. Pair of Ospreys works, but takes your fleet to 5.

Unlike the 4 Domi doctrine, you have basically no mass worries. In and out clean even with a 1Bn hole!

4 RR Tengus will clear C3s a bit more slowly and more safely but at much much higher cost. Oracle insurance payout is one of the few left almost equal to the value of the unfitted ship.

4box is sewere overkill for C3. I 4box in C4 with 4xRR domies pretty fine. With better skills even C5s could be 4boxed efficiently. Triage on carrier is not nescessary until capital escalating.

2x RR domi is ample for C3s and can easily do C4s

for c3 sites - 3 drakes and a noctis

tier three bc are pretty sweet for taking the sites down fast, but i don't think i'd want to quad box 3 tier 3 bc and a logi - no i don't, after some consideration it's too much work for too little loot

3 drakes and a noctis

if you're quad boxing it's the easiest, cheapest and pretty darn good. if you get ganked.... who cares. much easier to have a fleet of vanilla drakes orbiting a site in different directions to keep one or two out of the bubble that is sure to come some day. it's a pain in the patoot to point 3 drakes that are spread out and pretty easy to drop an interdictor on sentry dommi that are sitting waiting to get plucked. they are low skill to boot, so it's not like you have to train for 4 months to field a reasonable drake.

get your drake armada in place then move on to whatever you like, but the drake is the budget pve queen for a reason.
