I want to use a Thrasher for level 1 missions but i am completely at a loss for how to tank it effectively. Armor wont work with 2 low slots. Active shield is impossible to make cap stable, even a small shield booster is too much strain. Passive is better, but it doesnt end up tanking much.

Are there standard builds for this? I cant find any good ones on google

ive done about 200 lvl 1 missions for gallente in a cormorant, didnt needed more than the normal shield as buffer.
the damage is so small in lvl 1 and destroyers kill so fast there isnt realy a need for sustained tank.

ok, ive got all skills at lvl 5 for destroyers&equip but even with lower skills i doubt it would change much. most of the time i targeted the npc, shoot once or twice, next one.

Thrasher owns L1. You warp in, and just shoot whatever rat is in range. Pretty much any tank will work, shield buffer, shield booster, armor rep.

Thrasher will do well, i personally setup the ship with an AB and shield booster, and some gun mods in the lows. Use the AB to speed tank and keep moving, will cut out a lot of the DPS the rats suffer from storm trooper syndrome and can't aim that well from what I recall. If you can I would fit arties and if you need to, jet a can with 1 ammo and orbit it, its a strategy I use on my Nighthawk, and use to use my Drake before that and several other ships. It makes life easier if you killing them too fast at range.

What is said above, L1s and L2s comprise mostly of frigs and destroyers kill them so fast almost no tank is required, you want the long range weapons on em, helps with tank as you don't have to constantly burn into range, here's the Thrasher I use for L1/L2 clearing (also my Angel Epic Arc ship).

T1 according to skills, pops all the frigs @ 20km, never had to warp out of any L1/L2.

I tried this fit, mostly T1 though, and it was cap unstable :(

I had to replace the shield booster and tacking computer with cap recharger 2s

That is because this fitting is not using a shield booster at all, it use a shield extender as buffer and a small passive tank (37 vs angel at all V). Furthermore it does not use a tracking computer, but a passive tracking enhancer.

This is cap stable even at all zero.
