Hi

Looking at some ideas for running Lvl 5s and wondering if there is a perferred carrier to use ?

And anything else else I should know about running carriers ( this will be in Low Sec ) ?

And yes I might need to get friendly with the local pirates ....

Thanks

Trust pirates to honor their word is like believing politicians won't lie, but if you must, gallente I think would be best for the drones, if your a missioner you now about the cap nuets which will drain your cap so is you mess up you still got the drones to work with to escape.

The best carrier to use for lvl5 missions is the one that never gets tackled doing a mission and the one that never jumps to a non station system.Lighting the map with cyno beacons especially if those cynos come from the same characters will eventually get you tackled and killed even if you think it is safe to pop cyno in an empty system.Empty local doesnt mean tacklers dont have eyes in it while it is empty.

The only way to get real friendship from pirates is by using the following methods:
1)dont get tackled while PVEing even if you fly an empty shuttle.They will get bored eventually and they wont even attempt to probe you if they know you warp off each time you see probes(aka blueballs).Avoid PVP at all costs,avoid local and private chats at all costs.Always use the same patterns for your movements,for example cloaky-recon legion as scout and bomber for main.You ll be making some ISK for the first month.At some point,max time after a month,they will not form a gang and they will get careless.They wwont have a falcon or 2-3 logis with them.That is the time where you should have a full slaved faction fitted fully PVP plate fitted Navy megathron ready.Switch the fit of the legion to a recon-boosting legion.Jump in the legion warp it to a ss and turn resistance and skirmish links on.Jump the navy mega on a 6-8 BC silly camp and hold cloak,they will 100% think you are in a active tank carebear ship.Decloak it after 15-20 secs and reaproach the gate.Get heavily tackled and then simply KILL THEM ALL.
After that dock up wait for max 1 day and accept the blue stands they kindly offer you.

Works for me everytime.

Thanatos. It is the one that gets the DPS bonus, so the missions go down faster which is the most important thing. You don't need tank bonuses as standard carrier tank is more than sufficient

WTB whatever drugs this guy's on, they clearly work as intended.
