Ships & Modules

Hey folks, been gone awhile, just getting back into the game. When I left I remember getting ready to buy a hurricane to start doing lvl3 missions, however, never got around to it. So I just bought my hurricane, could someone give me a basic lvl3 fit. I'm guessing I'll be doing lvl3 missions for a month or so, probably longer until I can get into a BS to start lvl 4's.

Anyways yeah, just a fit I can use to start lvl3's with. I can get tech2 everything except guns, but that is only like a week away.

Thanks much, great to be back.

Depends heavily on your skills. If you're a relatively low-skilled character, you'll want an active armor tank, like this:

Cap lasts 12m 45 secs with everything running, if it gets low, turn off the AB, although that really shouldn't be necessary. Downgrade t2 to t1 where needed, and use mission specific hardeners in place of the kin/therms.

On the other hand, if you have great BC skills and can put out a lot of DPS, fast, you can use a shield buffer hurricane and blast through the mission before your shields drop very much at all:

Has a MWD to quickly get close, puts out tons of DPS, and your shield recharge should be enough to get through the small DPS which L3's send your way.

Here's an active shield tank one. Stable with good cap skills. Replace salv and tractor with missiles to taste...

For those looking to do level 3's in low sec and don't want to feel naked when potential hunters/prey turn up the standard shield nano cane fit does most angel level 3's fine. The fact your are mission running also makes great bait ^^ and if you DSCAN a target down to a celestial there is no need to reship to blow its head off while they are thinking you were mission running and harmless.

The other cane I use is a fast locking arty cane, level 3's are a walk over as are most level 4's without tackle on the warp in (although as with all BC's doing level 4's, expect to be there for a while). This latter ship is better than the nano cane for completion time due to it's range compared to an AC boat but with no point you aren't going to be fighting would be hunters or prey unless they are flying something with a tiny level of ehp, primarily because they'll just warp off before your second shot goes off.

This is for missions against angels mind you so my strongest natural resists are what is shooting at me.
