I guess this is kinda a dual post.

First off I'm trying to find people to run level 4 missions with, I have been looking around online and haven't found anything so I figured there might be some people on here running them and figured I'd ask if I could join in on the fun. (Everyone is right, you really need to play this game with other people.)

Second, I would like to run in an apocalypse, however, I do not yet have access to T2 lasers and whatnot, but I have everything unlocked for all the T1 stuff for a good build, that being said I was looking up builds on uni wiki and I can build a T1 Version of the PVE build they have (minus the drones, when I started this game I greatly misjudged the importance of drones), but I figured I'fd ask here to see if anyone has some advice for a T1 build I can use until I'm done Researching for my T2 build. (I would prefer a sniping build if that's even possible, I love me some long range warfare)

1) For a battleship, a T2 tank is more important than T2 guns. T2 guns take a long time and meta 4 guns are almost as good.
2) The bigger the ship, the more important drones become to kill those webbing and warp disrupting frigates. That being said, with a MJD you can now always jump away and kill these frigates from far away when their transversal is low.
3) People rarely run lvl 4 missions with strangers, as they can easily be done solo once you get the skills. Your best chance might be to join a corp and make friends. But be extra paranoid though, as those "friends" might decide to kill / ransom your battleship when they mission with you. Be careful whom you trust.

I would try the Help My Mission channel in game. Plenty of people available to help out. Just be cautious in who you trust and how much you trust them.

Personally I am not a fan of sniping in missions. But assuming you are in Amarr space and fighting EM/Thermal rats then the Apoc and its variants are probably the best non missile boats to do it in:

[Apocalypse, pve snipe]
Large 'Accommodation' Vestment Reconstructer I
Shadow Serpentis Armor EM Hardener
Shadow Serpentis Armor Thermic Hardener
Heat Sink II
Heat Sink II
Heat Sink II
Tracking Enhancer II

Large Micro Jump Drive
Tracking Computer II, Optimal Range Script
Tracking Computer II, Optimal Range Script
F-90 Positional Sensor Subroutines

Tachyon Beam Laser II, Imperial Navy Xray L
Tachyon Beam Laser II, Imperial Navy Xray L
Tachyon Beam Laser II, Imperial Navy Xray L
Tachyon Beam Laser II, Imperial Navy Xray L
Tachyon Beam Laser II, Imperial Navy Xray L
Tachyon Beam Laser II, Imperial Navy Xray L
Tachyon Beam Laser II, Imperial Navy Xray L
Tachyon Beam Laser II, Imperial Navy Xray L

Large Ancillary Current Router I
Large Ancillary Current Router I
Large Processor Overclocking Unit I

Hobgoblin II x5
Curator II x2

That fit is kinda... bad. But it will do what you want and you can downgrade to meta 4 as your skills and budget dictate. A more traditional fit would be better:

[Apocalypse, L4]
Large Armor Repairer II
Shadow Serpentis Armor EM Hardener
Armor Thermic Hardener II
Reactive Armor Hardener
Heat Sink II
Heat Sink II
Heat Sink II

Heavy Capacitor Booster II, Cap Booster 800
Tracking Computer II, Optimal Range Script
Tracking Computer II, Tracking Speed Script
Sensor Booster II, Scan Resolution Script

Mega Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Standard L
Mega Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Standard L
Mega Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Standard L
Mega Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Standard L
Mega Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Standard L
Mega Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Standard L
Mega Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Standard L
Mega Pulse Laser II, Imperial Navy Standard L

Large Auxiliary Nano Pump I
Large Auxiliary Nano Pump I
Large Energy Discharge Elutriation I

Hobgoblin II x5
Hobgoblin II x5
Hobgoblin II x5
Cap Booster 800 x16
Imperial Navy Multifrequency L x16
Imperial Navy Standard L x8
Imperial Navy Xray L x16
Imperial Navy Microwave L x16
Optimal Range Script x1
Tracking Speed Script x1

Once again downgrade to meta 4 as your skills and budget dictate.

i have to say i dont agree. i got t2 guns on my apoc way before i had t2 tank. you dont need that much tank in an apoc. range is ur tank. and range is given to you by scorch...
