Ships & Modules

For forever all I have ever used in missions is a Raven or CNR and I'm officially sick of flying them. Is there any other battleships that are good in missions and are worth looking at? I have laser skills and also have amarr BS 5. I used to use a Nightmare but that would require me buying another one

The Rokh?
The Apoc?
The Geddon?

Ive the skills for a legion and a tengu but are either of these also worth a look?

Id like to focus on mission speed rather than mission comfortability.

Damn it! Now i need to buy another one :<

I can second this, but I offer one exception, don't use one in Caldari space. Lasers vs Guristas is a massive pain and makes even the Nightmare feel weak. Other than that it will tear missions apart.

The rattlesnake as well, for all its reputation as a lazy overtanked afk-boat, has become quite ganky with the new drone mods and ancillary shield boosters. Of course that depends on you having gallente BS and really good drone skills. It also has the advantage of applying its dps really well, at a great range, and in any damage type.

The tengu can fit in where the nightmare leaves off, its bonus to kinetic missiles means that it can rip Guristas to pieces. It will compete with or even surpass the various ravens' damage, while moving at quite a nice speed and feeling a lot less sluggish overall.

If you're going for cheaper options, the dominix is really hard to beat in the price-to-effectiveness category, and several other categories as well. The apoc's a fantastic ship, at least in Amarr space, but I find the armageddon a bit too hard to fit satisfactorily for missions. It's navy version however is an absolute beast if you have great skills and can manage to find a fitting you like. I've never actually done missions in a rokh despite it being one of my absolute favorite hulls, but EFT warrioring makes it look like it's a good choice too, now that you don't have to throw billions of ISK at it to make it work for missions.

...I've really got to get me a mission rokh.

lemme know how it goes! xD

I have missioned in the raven, didnt really find it very entertaining, a rail rokh is a great replacement in my opinion, not everyone likes it or can fly it probaly.

This is the fit i use and it hasnt failed me in caldari missions yet:

[Rokh, Lv4 Rokh]

8x 425mm Railgun II (Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge L)

Shield Boost Amplifier II
Large Shield Booster II
2x Kinetic Deflection Field II
Thermic Dissipation Field II
Tracking Computer II (Tracking Speed Script)

Damage Control II
4x Magnetic Field Stabilizer II

3x Large Capacitor Control Circuit I

I usually switch out the tracking computer or shield booster for an AB if i need it in the mission and of course change the resists as well, but other than that i usually use this fit.

The tengu is a good boat as well and seems to be superior over the raven in almost every aspect.

You got bored of the Raven/CNR even if you have skills for a Tengu don't bother it's probably more fun to fly than either of those but it's still a missile boat and you probably get bored of it quick. And the Legion is lacking in comparison to other laser boats for lv4's. So you can mark off any strategic cruiser as an upgrade, plus the CNR is on par with the Tengu but more flexible with who you fly for to my understanding.

This. Why invent the Wheel if the one we have works just fine? Of course one can run missions in Rokh as well - it just won't be optimal. Personally, I prefer a combo of CNR (heavy dps and insane range) + Tengu (fast, shreds smaller targets). Of course, I'm also a missile freak :p

nightmare destroys sanshas and blood raiders. the damage is so stupid, you can fly a buffer tank if you want.

I thoguht about it, but I don't think you can boost their cargo space to the 4250m3 you need to do the gas mining missions in one go

refrain from using ginger nazi fucks fit please
