I just made a Video running a level 4 mission wiht a 1600 dps Nightmare. I fitted it with polarized weapons:

Fitting:

Hi slots:
4x Polarized Mega pulses

Med slots:

1x Gist X type 100mn AB
2x Gist A type XLSB
2x Pith X type SBAs
2x Tracking Computers

low slots:

3x Imp navy Heat sinks
1x Heat sink 2
2x Imperial navy cap power relay


The mission took 8 mins to complete. That thing really rocks in missions and you can easly make 120 mil/h throught blizing lvl 4 missions with polarized guns.

i'm REALY miss the old stuff.

Or you could just use a rattlesnake, get the same dps and actually have a decent tank?

(A decent tank that can tank a level 4 but doesn't have to be made exclusively from x-type mods)

It's nice to see someone actually using the damn things to good effect.

The Rattlesnake has actually a much lower kill speed and it is slower.

My Nightmare can complete "Vengeance" in 16 minutes, I dont think, that a rattlesnake can do it in the same time, as you have to keep an eye on drones and scoop/relaunche them. Also, the Missile bonuses is limited to kinetic and thermic only and cruise missiles cant instapop frigs.

You are right, the rattlesnake is probably slightly slower than the polarized nightmare, I can't argue that. However, I can argue that your fit costs twice as much my rattlesnake with it's fit, and you have to be much more careful during each mission and you have to constantly be on your game to avoid getting killed in your nightmare. Personally I sometimes leave the keyboard while my rattler is in a mission, or go pvp on an alt while I watch the rattler's drones clean up.

"As you have to keep an eye on drones." as I said I can go afk while running missions, using faction heavies (I know they have to fly to their target, slowing down mission run time) with a drone durability rig CN Wasps or RF Beserkers can tank the room on passive shield tank while they're moving. So it's not a problem

"Also, the Missile bonuses is limited to kinetic and thermic only and cruise missiles cant instapop frigs." Well, lasers only do EM/Therm so I don't see what makes the nightmare better than the rattlesnake when it comes to damage type (Especially considering I can use drone damage type of my choice). Also, sentries can insta pop frigs. Also, cruisers can insta pop a target painted frig as well (Though one should consider missile flight time)

As I said, the nightmare is probably faster. But only slightly, and it's cheaper and safer to use the rattlesnake.

I considered using polarized guns on the mach but for some reason the guns have a 20% falloff nerf compared to T2 which is a shame. Can't take advantage of faction ammo either as it's to expensive with the RoF for lvl 4 missions.
