Looking for opinions for a VNI (can't fly Ishtar just yet, and skillqueue is busy with other stuff), either for soloing (Hoping 5/10 or 6/10) or as a behind-the-lines assist for a HAMgu, but I'm having 2 fits in mind and not sure which one would be better for the job, or if both sucks and I need a 3rd option. The character piloting the VNI has 0 gunnery skills, so guns are not an option (at least not useful ones).

I would recommend fitting a 100mn AB on the Vexor Navy Issue, it gives it much better damage mitigation and you don't need the grid for anything else.

Hmm actually hadn't thought of a 100mn AB.
I'd assume an active armor tank would work best along, alike

Have you thought about a Gila maybe? Better damage and application? Costs a little more of course, but it's a PvE beast.

For VNI solo work, best tank is hull tank. This is the brawler fit that I use, but I'm sure you could modify this to apply to your Ishtar-esque nano/sentry playstyle:

38k EHP, 682 DPS, good mobility, excellent tackle, and cap warfare. I only use the faction scram over meta 4 to avoid using a CPU implant. And the best part is that since it's a T1 hull, repair costs are minimal (I've repaired this up from 20% structure for about 1mil ISK). Obviously, in any kind of gang situation where you may have logistics support, this fit is kind of crap, but for solo work I've had a good deal of success with it.


EDIT: Just realized that you were talking about PvE fits. Nevermind, this is purely a PvP fit. Still rocks though.

Go 100mn shield with 4 DDA and purger rigs like a real krab.

I doubt you could solo a 5/10 with a VNI, you need pretty good tank to handle the last room and with 3 Webs on you from the start, it can be tricky.

6/10 should not be an issue tank wise however you do have to push 600EM DPS to kill the overseer, though there are a few tricks to complete it without that much DPS.
