So, I'm trying to get into L4 Missions, but I have no idea where to start. What ship should I fit? What is the best fit for that ship?
Do you guys have any good fits for a newbie player like me that is just getting started into Mission running? If so that would be awesome :)

that's easy but it also depends on your skills and your play style, I have a abbadon fit in my main station I used to run in some missions that will ensure you survive unless you just don't turn on your tank ofcourse

Still doesn't really help me..

Can I use a myrmidon as a level 4 mission runner, and if so does anybody have a good fit?

You can, but it will likely be difficult. Any battlecruiser doing level 4s without excellent skills will suffer some.

A Dominix would likely be a much better choice. You get more DPS, a bigger drone bay, stronger tank, and it's only one step up from a Myrmi.

im on my tablet in class and it doesn't allow me to play eve and the ship is sitting in my hanger in eve so there for I don't have the fit.
I know the mids are cap chargers, and it has duel large reps with a eanm, 2 resist plates fitted, 2 in the cargo hold, a dcu and some damage mods in the middle and cap charging rigs in low.

I have almost 140 fit ships of all kinds and change ships like changing clothes so I run all 4 races ships in various situations.

About the only ship that can really do a lvl 4 for battlecruiser is a drake and it will be really slow..

I will be home in about 8 hours after I finish class and work

Gee don't see this much. What you really need to do is skill up into a battleship and all related skills. Just being able to sit in a BS is not enough. All missile skills for missile boats, laser for laser boats etc. Also shields or armor or both. Core skills to at least 4.


Apparently rushing to L4s is in vogue and many will tell tales of using cruisers or such, but the fact is that L4s are not for new players. You need skills, lots of them.

If you rush you will lose ships or take an hour (or more) to do one mission.

After you get all the skills and T2 mods and ships you will realize that repeatedly running missions is very boring.

And everyone reading this thread has no idea from where you start, so putting your skillsheet online on eveboard.com would be the best way. All we know is your pilot is 15 month old and can fly a Myrmidon.

I'd say go for a minmatar or Caldari bs because u can select any damage type u need.

Or a dominix

That's said minny t1 bs are somewhat lacklustre for pve IMO for thier relatively short range w autos (ships with a bonus to falloff range are better for level 4's or a marauder)

dominix is the most efficient sp wise, but it does pigeonhole you into drones which are secondary weapon systems on most other ships

They are still on just about every other ship though.
getting the training for them earlier is a good thing.

Yes. Which Faction are you primarily planning to run L4 missions for? Amarr, Caldari, Gallente or Minstar? (this will influence ship choice)

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

When I first started out doing level 4 missions, I used an Apocalypse battleship.
I used the fit:

High slot
8x Mega pulse laser I (Tech II used to take 65 days to train, nowadays only 32 days)

Mid:
4x Cap rechargers II

Low:
1x Thermal armor Hardener II
2x EM armor hardener II
1x Large armor rep II
3x Heat Sink II

Ammo:
Imperial Navy Ultraviolet L (Tech II required 65 days training as well)
Imperial Navy Multifreq L

Drones:
Hobgoblin II
Acolyte II

Then I switched to a Apocalypse Navy Issue when I had the isk (+1 low slot)
Today I use a Paladin.

I use this on an alt for added dps, if you have been using a myrm anyway you probably have some sp in drones and the right skills anyway.

U might wanna change some of the highs to some guns for added dps, I used this to assign the sentry's to a golem, so for solo u might change a bit, but u would for sure need 1 or 2 drone links.
