Hey!

Currently I have a character flying a Mael doing L4s, but I figured I'd go for another faction than Minmatar. Does anyone have a skill plan for Caldari/Amarr/Galente L4 runners? Ship fit isn't needed :)

Going for another race just means grabbing more ship command skills, another T2 weapon system, and maybe capacitor skills you don't already have because you're a dirty minnie. I just don't get what exactly you're asking for here.

lol - I love that "dirty minnie" comment.

Well, he could go with Gallente cross-training and grab a Machariel. No weapon skill differences on a Mach vs a Mael and, as you point out, capacitor isn't a big deal and no other major skill changes needed - just pick up the hull, then perhaps train the other stuff as filler while flying that thing.

Any other combo would mean grabbing new skills for weapons, armor vs shields, etc.

You can switch up if you want, but you will be much further ahead to stick it out. At your skill level nothing will be fast for level 4 missions.

For minnie your best bet is to jump in a maelstrom, fit it with either 800mm autocannons and strong tank, or 1400mm arttys and a micro jump drive. You will need good shield and capacitor skills for your active tank to hold up if you go the AC route. The key will be getting T2 guns and all the gunnery support skills to at least 4.

if you switch to another race with guns you will still need those support skills, if you switch to Caldari and missile boats you will need an equal number of missile support skills.

My favorite mission ship right now is a Typhoon. But it is very skill intensive to do well with. I have near perfect skills for guns, missiles, and drones, which is all needed for the Typhoon to shine. A good maelstrom is a lot easier to handle, good gun skills and some drones to help with frigates that get under your guns.

Currently the best level 4 mission ship for noobs is a gun ship like the maelstrom, fitted with long range guns and a micro Jump drive. The MJD will jump you 100km in the direction you are heading. so align straight at the rats or way from them, hit the MJD and start popping stuff as it approaches you. Many of the smaller ships will be MWDing straight to you making them much easier to hit. A set of 1400mm guns with good support skills will do wonders at 80-100km for killing rats. When they start to get close hit the MJD again to get your range buffer back. In addition to this making the rats easier to hit, the range will reduce incoming DPS making the mission easier to tank. You will not complete missions super fast but will complete them fairly safely while building up the skills you need to run them fast.

I support the idea of getting into a Machreal, but I believe it will be nerfed soon, and it is a very expensive ship to lose while you are learning.
