Missions & Complexes

To anticipate the question, here is the fit I'm currently running.
It's a fairly good fit, and even with twin deadspace boosters costs less than 850 mil.
So it's reasonably priced.

I'm just wanting to get more DPS output from it, and am willing to sacrifice some tanking.

i fly all missions with 1x pith a-type small, 2x invul II and 1x passive EM II. never had to warp out

DCU is nice, but not necessary, especially for a pema-boosting shield ship. The above poster is correct.. use 4 BCU's, swap rigs for rigors. You can probably even keep the invulns for omni-tanking.

I dont run mission but have a lil knowledge about ship fitting.

so if what this guy says is true. I think OP can drop 1 booster for 1 TP.

DC is fine, 4th BCU wouldn't do much anyway. drop EM rig, fit rigor.

OP can also upgrade to faction BCU but try to keep it under 1b to avoid suicide gank.

with small booster OP probably don't need 2 CCC II, adjust accordingly

Fit about as much tank as you need to survive a particular mission, then add just a tad more for the inevitable oshit moment.

I used to fly a hyperion that had about 120dps sustainable tank...

try running your fit but leaving one booster off just to see how that feels. should let you get rid of the cccs at least and add some gank rigs.

this is what I've been flying lately. note the name, and that it applies to other players not rats. and even there the DCII doesn't even add 10k ehp. hmm looks like swapping to a rf 10mn ab would make it cap stable giving up a mid slot for something! hmm now do I cover the EM or EXP hole?!?! or mayhaps swap the defensive sub to adaptive shielding and pick up an auto targeter for +3 targets?

Don't have EFT or Eve on the computer I am on so I am going off memory. I use something along the lines of this but this is an easier to fit version, mine uses a Large Ancillary Shield Booster not a medium, and requires implant slots 1/4/6 to be used 1/4 were genolution something Ca 1&2, and powergrid implant for slot 6.

standard setup for subsystems, dissolution and supllemental screening i think it was called the one with bounus to shield boosters, etc. If I remember I post the full setups latter on today or tommrow depending on if I remember and when I get access to my computer.

lows
4x T2 BCU's (I can't justify CN BCU's with how little I mission run though it would greatly benefit this built with CPU constraints)

Mids
T2 10mn AB
small pithi C shield booster
3x shield resist amplifiers (can almost fit all T2 of these if you have perfect skills, implants mentioned above help)
1 medium ancillary shield booster

Highs
6x T2 HML

Rigs
2x T2 Rigs
1x T2 Flare

If you wanted to swap to a large ancillary shield booster like I did you required the implants I mentioned and probably use CN BCU's or faction or meta shield resists or even a combo to fit due to cpu constraints. CN BCUs may give you enough CPU to use active hardeners, I am not sure as I don't have access to anything at this time really to check.

Ancillary shield booster works as a good GTFO of jail free card or to supplement your tank in case you don't properly manage aggro, or you can just overload your shield booster repairs are cheap on it. I ended up burning out my shield booster when I was lagging too bad and though I disconected in a mission but didn't so the booster kept going till I eventually shut down my computer since it wasn't responding, repairs for that booster were around 11k and a total of 110k for everything which were mainly the AB and large ancillary shield booster. Typically repairs are less than 10k if I had to overload for a minute or so if I mismanage aggro.

That there is where you start. The only reason to draw full aggro is for afk missioning. If you're doing that, then leave the DCU on and keep an ear out for the low shield warning.

Otherwise, start learning triggers and manage aggro, and you're tank can be minimal.

Well if you just pay some attention and manage triggers/aggro you can gank out your tengu with 700+ dps or even hit 800 with implants (with heavies that shoot out to lock range), you get slightly less on cruisers/frigs though because you need to use faction/t1 on them(destroyers can be instapopped with 3 launchers with either ammo).

I run a 4-slot tank Pith C-Type small, a t2 shield boost amp and 2 t2 MISSION SPECIFIC HARDENERS its not that hard, there are like 4 main pirate factions, just bring them in your cargo, it gives you alot more tank and allows you to go cheap on the other tank mods, stop omnitanking for missions. 3 faction BCUs and 1 T2 because upgrading the last one is a 1 digit change in dps, and an RF burner because they are quite cheap when I got em. T2 bay loading accelerator + 2 t1 flares + target painter is how I roll and I've tested the variations with rigors and I like this best because in an L4 most time is spent shooting high EHP BS, small stuff can be cleaned up really quick with faction ammo so the advantage rigors gives is quickly outweighed by the t2 dps rig because of how stacking penalties work it gives a big chunk of extra dps even with 4 BCUs.

I've run almost every non-faction kill mission at least 20 times and never even dipped into armor or anything, so yeah it's perfectly possible if you're willing to pay some attention.

note that unless you have an em hardener (or invlun) your ehp to republic fleet emp is less than that of a tornado volley. and anyways pithi booster + sba + em + invlun, will tank every level 4 just fine and put your ehp up to a slightly safer amount.
