Missions & Complexes

My level 4 Drake.

This is what I used. When you get some ISK, replace the shield booster with a faction one, so you can drop the Co-Processor and replace it with another BCU.

Change the hardeners as appropriate for the NPC in the missions. Faction hardeners, other than invuls, are cheap and easier to fit (and use less capacitor).

Use appropriate damage type for the NPC in the missions. You should be able to 2-volley battlecruisers and one-volley destroyers and non-elite frigate (though light drones chew them up fast too).

Keep moving, as it reduces incoming damage. I like to orbit something at 105 km, like the next gate or the beacon, at which range I can turn-off the hardeners. The only time I really take damage is as I am moving to range dragging the initial group with me, shooting it as I go (webbers are a priority). Mission NPC have a max range around 90 km, so I prioritize by range. When the room is half-clear I start to move towards the next gate, so I arrive just as the last NPC pops.

I carry 15 cap charges (= 3 reloads + 5 in the module) with the rest of my cargo filled with missiles. This is enough for about 4-6 missions, depending on the missions. I tend to run out of missiles or need to change damage type before running out of cap charges. I build cap charges on-site (requires Industry 1) from reprocessed mission junk, as the charges are annoying large to haul, and the BPO is cheap and much smaller.
