Well, I did my first L4 in a domi yesterday, I had to warp out once because I used the wrong hardeners *facepalm*. Another time because the dps by the rats were a bit too much for my tank especially with one BS rat up in my face (EoM Machariel <10km). I did say it was not too bad since I only lost a hammerhead because I panicked a bit since I wasn't used to the new optimal range and the speed of the domi (<100m/s, good gawd it's slow). I might swap out mag stabs for cap power relays since it's not cap stable and train up my hybrid turret and drone skills for maximum dps.

Look this up if your looking for a decent L4 ship:

It's Battleclinic, so you know it's "safe"

Sounds like youre on the right track then. Youl probably find your fit will change as you learn, taking fits from battleclinic etc is a good way to start but youl want to change little bits to suit your needs and play style eventually.

Keep it up anyway!

IMO for level 4 missioning in a BS you need:
1. Full Tech 2 tank.
2. Tech 2 light and medium drones.
3. BS skill at a minimum of III
4. All cap skills at a minimum of IV

This is pretty much the core and you can work on your other skills as you do the missions, but these set of skills will usually ensure you keep your ship intact when you start level 4s.


Above advise might help to prevent some losses.
I started flying battleships at around 5m SP although running lvl 4 missions was quite slow, especially since I fitted tank over gank.
When I started out I would fit resistances for each mission while these days I just fly an omniresist tank.

Cap stable is nice but not required.

My main reason for switching from BC to BS was the increased tank. Myrmidon to Dominix is not the biggest increase in DPS (I was depending 100% on drones for damage (when playing my gallente alt, not my beautiful caldari missile whore) with just 1 gun for agressions and salvagers/tractors. Now I have better gunnery skills and fit guns since they do add significant damage.
