http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReports Know your enemy, manage aggro where possible.

One option is to swap the cap battery and tracking computer for cap rechargers fit a second repper in place of one of the heat sinks replace the other heatsink with a capacitor power relay . It is entry lvl to go for survivability instead of DPS.

Another option is to do the first and replace the ab with a large micro jump drive, and replace the weapons for long range instead of short range. use the LMJD to jump 100km away and snipe. Consider using a cap booster as well instead of using cap rechargers and power relays.

Once you have confidence you can start reducing your tank and increasing your dps, go from pure tank towards a dps tank. The faster you can kill the enemy the sooner you can reduce incoming dps.

Work on increasing your skills for reppers and tank so you can t2 fit, maybe get a navy repper and use it along side a t1/t2 repper as skills permit.

Keep in mind a t1 fit BS can have a hard time killing some named rats in missions. You may need to get a buddy in a BS and gang up on the missions.

between t1 and t2 there is a huge difference, also same thing can be said about ship skills...

It's not like if u can sit in it u can fly well, and once u have better skills the improvement is marginal.
U need atleast 4 in all skills across board for the ship items and weapons, and some t2 variants would help greatly

Thank you all for the imput what should i try to get to t2 first please

based on your tank , you are fighting guristas. you are dealing mainly em damage which isnt great against guristas

coupled with low skills, missions will take ages

I'm going to focus on the mods mostly, however there are a ton of support skills that are equally important. You should probably have most of the support skills at 3-4. The cap skills and gunnery skills are among the more important. Fitting skills, sensor skills, and navigation skills are all also helpful. The ship mastery tab should have some good suggestions. Training them all will have some unrelated skills or less helpful skills, but start with the sections with core in them and the large energy turret

imo hull upgrades is a somewhat long train and missions can be done with t1 hardeners. Hull upgrades 5 is for sure an important train and a good one to do, but there are some pre reqs for other mods and support skills I'd train first.

t2 cap recharger has very low requirements, should be a quick easy grab.

t2 heat sinks are pretty important, as other posters have mentioned killing stuff in a time efficient manor can make a big difference.

cap battery looks like a somewhat easy grab, however it might be better to use the meta version due to fitting costs. not looking at your skills and the fit I can't really make that call.

armor rep is somewhat important, it is a nice boost over the t1/meta versions, but the meta version should be okay to get started with.

The tracking comp requires a skill that boosts falloff which isn't very important for lasers. also the gain in optimal from t1/t2 isn't all that big. I'd put these as a pretty low priority.

Afterburner, another less important mod, also at the 100mn size there are many cheap faction/deadspace options. however some basic nav skills should be a quick train.

t2 guns are a huge upgrade, however a long train, you should be able to get comfortable running level 4s with meta guns there are ton of other skills to train first.

Laser ship in Gallente Space and a new player with low skills pretty much sums up all of your problems.
Gallente Space is loaded with NPC that have high resistances to EM and Thermal which is the majority of your damage output, there are several ways to over come this.

Move to Amarr space where the NPC you will be fighting are not as resistant to EM and Thermal. Down side here is you will likely have to start over with level one missions and work up again.

Change to a different ship, something Gallente, Minmatar or Caldari.

Go back to level 3's while your skills train so your ship can handle the missions better, here is a decent link to help with skills.

I have not fit an Apoc for a new player in years so I am not going to offer specific suggestions, there are some general things to keep in mind.

Cap stability is not needed in most cases, what you should be going for is what my corp mates like to call functional cap stability. To achieve this you need to be cap stable with everything but your rep running, with everything including your rep running you need around 3 to 5 minutes of capacitor as listed by a fit tool.

If you do not have a fit tool get one, the in game thingy is new and based on my experiences it does not give you the information you really need to set up a good fit.

These are the most popular choices but there are others as well.

Consider running two reps instead of one. It is likely that you can set up a cap stable fit with a medium running full time and then augment that with a large as needed.

A MJD (micro jump drive) is another option to consider. This would allow you to jump out about 100K and then work at the outer ranges of your lasers as a way of mitigating the incoming damage from the smaller ships while you worked on the pocket. In this case you may want to start shooting at those smaller targets first while they are far away that minimizes the tracking issues with your large laser.

Do you have a corp mate or friend in your area you can fleet up with?

As already mentioned, consider dropping back down to L3 missions, a low SP fit BS will cope very easily in them
though you may have some issues with an increased frigate count in the npc's
on the plus side, this gives you a good opportunity to practice drone management in supplementing your dps.

review the information for each module you have fitted, one of the tabs is variants (or similar), look at the skills needed to use the t2 version of the modules you currently have fitted, queue those skills specifically

check with the guys in the helpmymission channel (and go look at their website), missions don't need to done solo at all.

How good are your drone and missile skills? If you want to try something exotic without completely reskilling to a non-Amarr battleship, try the Armageddon: You can use cruise missiles and sentry drones to snipe from afar. This way you can use ammunition/drones tailored to the weaknesses of the rats you're fighting.

Thank you all for your input i found that i just need more dps and better management on the frig's.
