So I have a Rokh and I'm going to be running with a couple other people pirating, two or three other ships. I'm wanting to go long range, so I wont usually be up close. Though on the off chance I do end up close or someone gets close to me, I want to be very tanky. What would a good tank build be? I have some ideas, and you can tell me if this would work well.

Low slots:

* 1x Damage Control
* 1x Capacitor Power Relay
* 3x Magnetic Field Stabilizer
Medium slots:

* 2x Large Shield Extender
* 3x Invulnerability Fields
* 1x Sensor booster
High slots:

* 8x 350mm Railgun

This seems fine so far, though this is only on paper. I'm almost at the training for most of it. Would this be tanky enough? Anything else that I should possibly add? Would I need something to increase the power so that I could sustain for longer (if needed)?

No utility high on it makes it a pretty poor brawler especially in small gang

The idea isn't to be a brawler, the idea is to be long range while the two close ranged, possibly 3 close ranged ships hold them down. I would be long range, the tankyness is just for possible protection. I've seen some Rokhs do some amazing things when built tanky with long range like that.

Rokh is a better Brawler than a Megathron in a lot of cases where movement isn't an issue :S

e.g.

When you have a warp in from a gang scout or are sitting on a gate.

Rokh has better EHP but worse DPS than a Naga, here's 2 fits i'd use for sitting miles off (200km)

Having lots of tank just means you'll die slowly when you get caught. What you need is an attack battlecruiser that can keep long range and move quickly enough that it can avoid being caught in the first place.
