I want to do missions with minmatar.
But what ship do I fly at what lvl?

And what would be better to have crystal or snake implants?

Uh....What level missions? 4 I assume?

Navy phoon, Mael, vargur, sleip.

If you need to gain faction and start at 1 a loki actually blitz missions really really fast with webs. (1-3)...4's not quite as quick due to range.

Also many ships can be armor or shield tanked so implants can go either or. Though I assume with the booster buffs on many ships...

Level 1: Rifter

Level2: Rupture

Level3: Hurricane

Level 4: Maelstrom then Machariel


And if you need to ask, wait on the implant sets.

Those implant sets cost 700-800m (for the low grade) and you need Cybernetics V.
What is best? Well depends if you wanna go fast or shield boost a lot :P

Snakes don't nearly do as much for PvE as do Crystals.

Crystals if your using BC's/BS's
Snakes if your using CR/BC's

Because ships like Loki's need the speed over tank for L4's Big smile

Well Im already up to lvl3's now so I was thinking to buy a Loki to blitz trough them and even use it with lvl4's. Mostly because In my current training plan BS aint a option for a while :P.

What kind of fit would I be looking for if Im going Loki style?

L4 - Maelstrom, Machariel or Vargur.

No sense in pirate implants. Use +5 implants and 5% hardwirings.

This. Sleip beats the Loki hands down and is at least competitive with a Maelstrom. Vargur and Machariel blow both out of the water.

And no, none of these require faction implants. I suppose you could work out a fit where you could drop to a safe three-slot tank (possibly two on the Vargur) with Crystals, but... yeah, it just isn't needed.
