Hi all,

I'm finishing skilling up for all the loki subsystems in the hope that it'll make a good boat for doing lowsec/nullsec combat plexes. Can anybody give me some insight into what level of plex a loki will handle comfortably? At the moment I tend to hang around Gallente space, which means lots of Serpentis - hence the specific tank

So, should I not try anything harder than say... 7/10? Any other tips much appreciated.

I'm currently thinking of something along these lines:

Loki is pretty annoying for plexes. It can tank pretty much everything up to 9/10 without throwing stupid ammount of isk away.
But its painfully slow. If you get 6 battleships each 60km away you will want to slit your wrists open.

Also your fit is pretty bad. You can make a way better loki fit for plexing than what you linked at half the price.

It has a good resist profile for tanking sansha, blood raiders, and drones, but has obvious issues with neuts and TDs.
