Trying to find a decent cruiser set up for L2 missions. I have money but skills are not all T2 yet. Any ideas on what to do? I have heard destroyers are better or L2 but I have no idea really. Could someone help me out? I have not found one that looks good. Thanks

Destroyers tend to work well enough really, as just about all targets are frigates.. Just use long range weapons on them.

What would help a lot would be to know what you are skilling into. Drones, projectiles, lasers, or hybrids?

What race are you flying? Any cruiser can do a level 2 mission but telling us the race of ship would mean someone could post a fit.

Also try to keep it to one post per question... It gets confusing when you make multiple posts with the same question.

Seems like a decent fit. Only suggestion I can come up with, just off the top of my head, would be to take out the tracking enhancer, and replace it with one of the various low-slot capacitor modules, since they are usually better than a cap recharger. To compensate, I would then suggest you remove a cap recharger and replace it with a tracking computer, as it is superior to a tracking enhancer.

Unless your cpu/powergrid won't allow for that change, it should give you better cap, tracking, and range.

If you kite, you mostly don't need tracking enhancer.

Might give that a go, and if you feel brave, perhaps even upgrade to heavy beams and go full kite.

guessing this is an arbi?

otherwise, just no.

Also, posting fits with t2 sentries for newer players is bad. They're a month + train for them to match what you post and frequently require other skills to make them work like yours do.

Also better spend 3 days training gallente cruiser 4 (Vexor) than using an Arbitrator for PVE.

Yes Arbitrator. The T2 modules can be replaced with meta 4 mods if necessary. Offers at least a bit damage type selection, and the total firepower is respectable for a cruiser, too.
