So i decided to farm for cosmos items and either make a kit or just contract them individually, only problem is the ship limits.

Some are cruiser and down so no tengu etc, i was using a jackdaw, is thisvthe best choice you think? I can fly mist ships and will train any i need that i cant.

The other restriction is for bc and lower, so no bs or maurader... i had been using a tengu but again i dunno if thisvwould be the ideal ship.

On the sites with no restrictions ive been using the tengu again, but ive been wondering if a maurader would make them faster, orva rattle.

Extra things i need, is too much stable tank cause i am taking care of my mother with md, sister with cancer, and my fiance who cuts me off if i say hold on i need to finish this mission.. so long story short.. i go afk a lot so dont want to die cause im being attacked by 100 npcs andcran out of cap or whatever.

Other issues is i need to have a relic analuzer in there.. so mobike depot in cargo or just have it fitted always

My methods so far are fine but wanted to get some other opjnions as well on the best ships to have ready for item runs.

Thanks for any help

Worm or T3 destroyer?

FWIW

A couple of years ago, for a shortwhile I farmed the Minmatar archeo plex that drops sleeper profound notes (in Hjorammold?). Got bored pretty soon though ;).

The fit I came up with for this was a Loki with tank based on a Pith X-large shield booster (I think It was B-type, but you can go with A or X-type, they are not that expensive).

It needed some cap relays (or was it flux coils?) in lows and cap, maybe safeguard rigs to make it stable, but it could perma tank the damage while analyzing and moving between the cans.

Obviuosly, a Tengu should be at least equally good for this.

You don't need much dps in there, just enough to kill webbing / scramming frigs, I had light drones and ACs IIRC, light missiles should also be fine for this.

I think I also had a cargo scanner fitted, which means the tank could have been made even better.

Not much chance to farm Cosmos agents and the missions they give out because you get to run each of them once in the life of each character so I would not worry about farming them since you cannot. At least they were once only per character when I completed the last of them about a year ago.

missions/agents can't be farmed but you can farm difficult to obtain mission items and then contract them out for ISK.

Some people will buy them so that they can get the missions done with minimum hassle.

Same goes for storyline module components, a few of them are actually quite valuable (although the market for them is quite limited).
