This is a misconception of a lot of newer pilots in Eve. Skills are far more helpful than shiny modules. Just because shiny modules require less skill to fit doesn't mean they make up for the lack of skills.

My Dominix is straight T2 fit and I have yet to find a level 4 mission where I can't tank full room aggro.

Not all ships you can do this in. Some require more finesse and pilot skill in the sense you have to manage aggro and watch the triggers etc.

You just have to find a ship that suits your play style. Usually more tank means less gank so missions may take longer though.

Oh btw if you used the term "shiny" to mean something different then disregard my reply. The term "shiny" normally refers to expensive fitted ships.

The remaining hours are missing until the Rifter has taken down the battleships. Still a nice proof that is works but the time needed doesn't make it fun...

LOL, that sucks OP.



I've never had this sort of problem myself. I kill everything in every mission generally speaking. There may be times when blizting would be more efficient, but I just like shooting my guns at things.

The point is that you in no way need a shiny mission ship. I think that Rifter cost under 100m (expensive for a Rifter? Well, maybe, but it is dirt cheap for a l4 mission boat).
