If I remember correctly, Mag sites despawn after you've warped in and warped out.
I need some advice on what ship would be good to solo a mag site in. I've been thinking of a Myrm because of drones, but I'm not sure if it's fast enough to do them efficiently. I was also considering a CovOps Frig with Salvage Tackles for the salvage sites, but I'm not sure if it can work quick enough to avoid the spawns either.
Suggestions?

Mag sites despawn once you've attempted to access a can and then warp out or cloak.

Which mag sites are you trying to do? High/low/null/wormhole? The answer as to what ship you want will vary greatly between those options.

Edit: answer is probably gonna be a T3 in any case, just a matter of which one.

Blood Raiders
T3's not going to be too cost effective
I've done Null Mag sites with a ferox before (albeit very slowly)

Up to you. I like being able to at least have the option to run nullified in null.

For Blood Raiders, your main considerations are having at least some damage projection (best to be able to take out neuting ships outside of their range, which is ~30km for BSs and ~40km for elite cruisers) and/or being very cap stable if/when the neuts do land. A Myrmidon will do the job there if you so choose and shouldn't have any real issues tanking. Rigging for can access isn't a bad idea.

Unsurprisingly, a Tengu will also get the job done without an issue.

Tanking mags just isn't all that hard. You will end up with spawns when you attempt to access on occasion; it's best to just be aware of it and ready to react.
