Hello!

Since my main char is located in a C4, i was looking to train my secondary char to be able to run L3 missions, just for the moments there is nothing to do in wormhole.

Now, what i'm looking for is a ship that can handle L3 missions with the minimum skills needed, not more than 2 weeks of training.

I had in mind a Caracal Navy Issue, with some faction and deadspace items, or a Drake.

Would really appreciate suggestions.

Thanks in advance! Fly safe.

Drake. Boring but reliable.

Even with T1 fittings, you won't have much trouble in any L3s.

Something like http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/30991-The-level-3-4-Mission-Drake.html

I used a T1 lvl4 meta fitted drake for a long time in lvl3s.
It makes life easier ... orbit something, launch drones, fire missiles. You will only have to select the targets and that is all.

The Caracal Navy it is a beautiful ship.
Not that forgiving as a drake but at least you play the game :)

I suggest taking a look at droneboats such as Dominix and Gila. To be low efficient in them (yet better than a 2 week drake), you'll need BS / cruiser level 4, weapon upgrades 4, and drone interfacting 4 with some base tech1 tanking skillset.

Gila:
Cybernetics 1, +3 implants

Cruiser 4 ~ 6 days
Shield tank 3 + rig ~ 2 days
Weapon upgrades 4 ~ 2 days
T2 med drones and drone interfacing ~ 10 days (faction drones while training, faction sentries)
Navigation and other core support 2/3 ~ 2 days

I concur, Drake is a great boat for lazy missioning with limited skills. Have fun.
