I'm currently using a RS for L4 missions, and was wondering if the VNI hold it's own in level 4 missions? I'm just curious, would like to see.

I plan on using the ishtar later on once I'm skilled for it. Was thinking of using something that would help me become familiar with it.

The VNI can tank certain null sec anoms. But most level 4s will eat it alive.

Ishtars can and do work well due to insane resists. Great drone bonuses and sig tanking. (Even shield tanked has a small sig.)

If you want some thing smaller that's like a rattlesnake, try the Gila. Its drone dps is essentially the same and it can be tanked in a similar fashion to the rattlesnake.

Keep using your RS, you can get one to do over 1100 DPS easy, and it's good against ALL different sized ships because of different drones and cruises. It's defenses are amazing also, some of the best in EVE.

If you are looking for osmething smaller, get a Tengu with HAMs or HMLs, or a Cerb now is pretty unreal with HAMs
