About to purchase a Mach for running L4's and I will have extra isk for other ships. The only other ship I can think of that would be useful for L4's is a ship that can be used for blitzable missions.

IS a Mach the best blitzable ship or would something else do better for these types of missions? Tengu perhaps?

I'd say a well setup Tengu is one of the best ships for pure blitzing. I use both a Mach and a Nightmare for missions, but when I'm blitzing a mission where I gotta tank a full spawn, the Tengu usually is my choice. The setup itself is not gonna be cheap, but you can vary some on the mods and still have a nice result.

This is the setup I use for blitzing about anything. I use a web, since this gave me the best result in combination with precision missiles for killing rats that point you. You might try a painter if that works better for you.

you don't need two boosters, put an SBA on instead of the second. you can also get by with one T2 invul. unless of course you have more money than sense in which case the fit above is ok.

I should buy an Ishtar.

Two machs or vargurs can easily smash everything there in a shortest amount of time. 12 min to complete Blockade lvl.4 (Angels), for example. You'll need "supporting" ship to kill jamming ships and double your dps in other cases. ACs, of course.

I would go with the MWD Mach for blitzing. The Tengu is also good for blitzing, however, it's a bit limited by its kinetic bonus, vulnerability to frigates, limited target locks, NPC defenders, and the upcoming HML nerf.

There are still a couple of missions that the Tengu can blitz via speed tanking (such as Damsel and Buzz Kill) that I wouldn't try in the Mach.

Mach could easily do these missions. Vargur is even better.

Mach = blitz
Vargur = cleaning house
