So basically, Hyperion/Nmega for gallente, Maelstrom or maybe Flempist for minmatar, Raven/CNR for caldari.

Hardest to use of those is probably the Hype, easiest the CNR.

Mach is more or less the end goal for any mission runner, unless you have a nightmare in amarr space, though the Vindi may very well be more viable once the hybrid balancing if over with.

As it stands now ( T1 only, I haven't tested Marauders ),

1. Machariel
2. Tengu
3. Caldari Navy Raven

A Nightmare is nice, but even in Amarr space you get loads of other missions besides Sancha/Blood Raider.
The Tengu beats the CNR hands down, because it hits smaller targets easier, has faster missiles, is more mobile, has a better tank and it's DPS doesn't depend on drones.

I found the arty Mael very underwhelming, I swapped for ACs and it transformed the ship.

Get a Rattlesnake and passive fit her. If you do it right she should have over 200,000 EHP, great resist, and shield recgarge rerate higher then a Drake. Get your missile, drones and Caldari/Gal battleship skills up though.

Stupid people should suffer, I'm OK with that.

Agreed. It chews through ammo using the ACs but it completes missions much more quickly.

well if you like drones and have a bunch of skills in them the logical choice is a domi or ishtar


if your board of the sidelines get the proteus there really interactive since you have to zip all over the dam place they melt ships fast when there in range

and the isk thing only way is to grind or play the market or pi proteus should not cost to much about 500m for everything and tech 2 mods until you can afford a types and faction gear

Best pve ship is a scimi/guardian/basi (possibly onerios after the patch, but I haven't been testing it) and a half-competent incursion fleet. Cheap as ****, always in-demand, and the isk to effort ratio is somewhere between counting missile volleys and trying not to fall asleep after masturbating at 4am.

The only downside to the Rattlesnake is with a T2 fit and T2 rigs and drones you can easily get over 1bil, but it is an amazing ship if you are not in a hurry. Been using mine to help get my alts standing up doing L3's and my shield never drops below 85% and thats with the invul field turned off.

Marauders are great for mission running. Ever thought about training up for a Golem at all?

Sentry dominix may work, sentry ishtar too. You can leave tank on, go away and come back, see pcoket cleared, move on to next pocket.

I very much like Torpedo Golem with enhancements. If you get tough missions, the DPS is amazing, tank is barely sufficient, but the completion time is much better. 2 top quality target painters, tech 2 missiles and boosters pills for the winner.

Torpedo Golem, I'd say. At least with Golem missions are exciting again.

This post sums up why the 'best' work with DCM inc.

WARP DRIVE makes eve boring

really - add warping align time 300% on gun aggression and eve becomes great again

if you dont want to manage anything, drone boats are the way to go as alot already said. And there is no better than the rattlesnake, i know i use it myself = aggro everything, launch drones and wait for pocket to finish while wathcing tv, fapping or whatever you like.

but as you said it is to pricey, but its little brother Gila can almost do the same for alot less (just stay away from amarr, blood raiders and sansha)

this setup will tank any serpentis mission with good skills (switch hardeners for other rats), gist c-type hardeners are very cheap and uses less cap so they are necessary to be stable. The rigs are expensive, but hardly impossible to get, and it will most likely tank most serpentis missions even with t1 rigs until you can afford them.

i used this to great success before i switched to rattle myself and it works very well, just remember never to afk a mission you aren't certain you can tank

What's the best mission running ship for a security contractor? Currently I'm using a Raven but the dps just isn't there with the large cruise missiles, especially after they've been nerfed. I want a ship that's great for mission running and without all the mico management (range, accuracy falloff, ammo types, etc) some weapon types impose, such as lasers. I'm using the Raven currently because missiles are pretty much fire and forget after choosing the proper damage type for your enemies faction. The downside to that is extremely slow damage per second and the inability to inflict much damage on smaller targets such as cruisers and frigates. So I'm here asking what the best ship is for PvE mission running as a security contractor. Specifically level IV missions.

I've been away from EVE Online for a very long time, and I've just reactivated my account after years of inactivity. Really need some advice.

Thank you.

Sniping past your targeting range, and no web(lights to kill off the scramblers/webbers)

OH yeah, and a Domi(navy) can hit 1100 dps at 41-39km range (50 opti 60 max for drones), 1160 (And abit more tank) on the 29th.

get an ishtar if you want to be lazy, just passive fit it. Just warp in agro entire room send out your t2 ogres and go watch TV until done as they melt everything in that lvl4, i've done guristas 8/10s plexes solo in an ishtar alt with only 19mil sp total on that char and never had to worry about them breaking my tank and all i did was orbit a can i dropped at normal speeds, no AB needed. Or the other best option is a tengu, that can beat any lvl4 mission rather fast with great dps ands tank.
