Hey there!

I'd like to ask wormhole experienced players about the Sleipnir Minmatar Command ship.

Is it good for farming the sites in C3, C4 and maybe higher class WHs?

If you can tell about it's solo capabilities, that's helpful too, but my primary interest
is in small fleets.

2-3 players in C3 and not really sure how much in a C4 and above,
mostly battleships with RR module I quess or T3s, but what about the Sleipnir?

Thank you for all the replies and advices!

Yeah, Sleip works great in C3/C4.

Ed: Yes, you can solo C3 content with a sleip. You cannot solo C4 content.

I'm an idiot, don't mind me.

Make sure you have your Sleipnir fit as a passive shield tank so when empty on cap you are not a sitting duck for those sleepers. So start training those passive shield skills.

Last time I ran them, C3's didn't scramble you. So if you do get neuted to ****, just warp out.Lol Anyways, I can't say I've tried it myself but as long as you can keep your cap sorted out, you should have no trouble tanking it.

Sleeper neuting in C3 anomalies is easily managed solo with cap stability of 55%+ (preferably 60%) and correct shooting of triggers.

Mag & Rad sites are rather more difficult with last waves of up to 3BS, a cruiser & two scramming frigs all neuting you. 70+ cap stability is a minimum.

In a small gang of 3 or so, your cap stability isnt so much of an issue since the sleepers will switch aggression. But fit a good deadspace passive kinetic shield resist at least, just in case.

C4's are best run with logistics and BS, I can't comment on how well a Sleip would perform. Ask Liang - I know (s)he's used Sleips in w-space a lot :)

Slepnir works well for C3 and below solo/small gang with a local tank (I prefer arty fits because everything likes to sit at range). For C4 and up, the slepnir can work, but you're going to need logi support. However, the biggest issue is that everything likes to sit at range or start off at range, meaning that 9/10 you are better off in a tengu, especially as the arty slepnir barely outdps's the tengu when using faction shortrange ammo, and the AC fits have horrible, horrible range.
