Hello -

I've been trying to run these sites for the past few days and haven't found a good ship with an adequate tank to really survive the second wave when th 5 battleships spawn. If the second spawn is mixed I can solo it in my Ishtar, but even with a dominix with specific hardeners and dual reps it stretches the heck out of it when it's the 5 battleships. I can do it with that and with a logi alt but would rather not do that. Any ideas on ships and fits that can solo this? I was looking at the rattlesnake with sentries. Any suggestions appreciated!

This fit will also be used for blood raider ded/combat sites as well and tengu is about a week out in training time .

They will find your lowest resist so go with an Omni tank. I'm using a Tempest Fleet setup for pvp but as far as the tank goes I have: 2x Lar, 2x EANM, 1 DCU, 2x T1 Large Aux Pumps, and HG Halos. I tank it very smoothly I realize the HG Halos mitigate a lot of DMG for me but I tried it in another clone and it worked out fine. I would recommend something with more Dps So you can kill them quickly and not have to worry too much about tank

Passive shield ishtar can tank them long enough for you to kill them and lower the dps.

I used PvP fit deimos for that task. It is not optimal as you need to burn cap charges. I guess if I dropped the scram and web I would be fine.

Just make sure to omni-tank that ship. I did test the damage by using RAH. It went from kin/therm -> kin only -> kin/explo as explosive was my lowest resist.
