Domi or navy Domi. Domi if u want to snipe, either one if u want to brawl. I dont like hybrids as main weapon system for missions, but thats just me. I guess a Kronos will do well if u want to loot/salvage as u go.

Machariel or Rattlesnake if u are willing to crosstrain.

not willing to cross train.

I was thinking a domi but how is the speed of the domi for level 4`s the same for a kronos I have not been able to decide on the 2, and I cant find any good setups for the kronos for level 4 missions online so I was unsure if it`s even a good mission ship.

The Domi will be somewhere between a bit faster to alot faster. Only Use Kronos if u are going to loot/salvage.

or an MTU with salvage drones. it's not as efficient as a Kronos but it's a shorter train

Perfect fit Noctis still better than all that mess.

MTU can be used with it.

Kill 3 or more missions then clean all the book marks at once.

Probably something like this. Great for blitzing. Might take a while to pay back though. Perhaps there is an upper limit on your budget? Roll

Kronos might make similar money to a domi through cherry picking loot in mission but the domi is actually faster at most missions. Damsel is an example of the exception where I'd use a kronos with blasters. Once I was thinking of using a kronos with rails I always just took the domi instead.

Yeah in BS Heavy angel missions a blaster Kronos will be a Beautiful sight. Hmm I might get myself one just for Damsel ;)

Domi looks nice on paper, however whatever you use for guns is going to get range dampened (vs serpentis). You need to use 2 slots to get a 50k range on the guns.

The Kronos is the only Marauder I don't fly, however I went back to looting and salvaging in a Noctis on the 3 that I do fly. The methodology that i use on the Paladin and Vargur is rather simple, use the MJD to get into facemelting range rather than using it to jump out and snipe. Mark the wrecks and come back and loot.

internet spaceships

are serious business sir.

and don't forget it

Domi would be the ( one size fits all, jack of all trades ) ship to use.

I could do all missions in a hyperion or mega but domi has the best versatility and damage application.

Yeah, Domi has admittedly best bang for buck but Kronos has much better combined tank and DPS. With Kronos you can jump in the middle of the group and facerape them while Domi is a bit squishy for that feast. Versatility is a matter of taste and of definition however with Kronos' bonuses blasters and rails have nice overlap so choice can be made based on other things than just raw range, there's enough CPU and PG to accommodate all but most extravagant fits and mentioned tanking ability gives error margin wide enough to accommodate all you can encounter in hisec PvE (maybe except incursions).

At this moment Kronos is my favourite missioning ship.

Edit: if versatility is requirement, I'd recommend also looking into Proteus. Compared to battleships its performance isn't that impressive but it's a tough nut and it gets job done.
