Looking for the most forgiving ship for if I fudge up a pull or need to afk for 30secs for a customer?

Thanks

pretty much a passive-tanked rattlesnake. You can get a pretty fat tank that won't die while still fitting 3x drone damage mods and being able to kill stuff pretty well.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

any one of the marauders with bastion mode will be a pretty strong contender at this point. a ~1000 dps cap stable omnitank is pretty easy to do on any of them. specific tanks go through the roof.

I would prefer RS you can fit a very good afk tank and your sentries will continue killing npcs while you talk with your customer.
Only agro switch may become a problem.
A Marauder want kill ships on his own.

Rattle can survive almost any solo PvE. If it's too expensive for you - armor Dominix with 2 reppers can do almost the same.

Be aware that drones get targeted by npc, and are not ideal if you are away for the computer longer periods of time.

I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

Rattlesnake will have no issues.

Sentry drones rarely grab much aggro and can take a good amount of damage when they do.

If you need lots of time you can run with long range sentries and MJD.

You can pull over 1100 dps easy with cruise/sentries.

sry but in my experience sentries do get alot of aggro and when u are afk they can die, at the pc it normaly isnt the problem.

but for tough tanks it depends on your fit i personally dont like the rattle that much but the passive tank can be good. dual repped domi is also pretty reasonable tanked same problem like a rattle with the drones so. Abaddon good armor tank might have cap troubles and only lasers, rokh also a tough tanker but if i remember correct relatively low dps.

But basically take the ship you like dual boost tank it and make sure it is cap stable + mission specific tanked and you should be good to go.

Bastioned marauder, for sure.
