Would something like this work for L4s? And safely. My active Ishtar had to warp out of the bonus room in Angel Extravagaza. The hardeners are mission specific. As an example, one X-type EM hardener gets me roughly 77% EM resist (the Gila's biggest hole). Figure I would just warp in, orbit MTU at 10, let drones loose, and focus my missiles on frigates.

Thanks for the advice. Should this be able handle high incoming DPS such as the bonus room?

I initially had that as my fit, but figured the increase in signature radius would be worse. Also, I noticed that with the that my EHP and recharge were very similar with the adaptive vs the LSE.

Edit: Just checked, looks like the invul is better than another LSE in terms of EHP and recharge, with the bonus of having a smaller signature.

Due to continuous wardecs I am forced to mission in remote systems with poor LP conversion. I get most of my isk from bounties, so I prefer to clear rooms. I am not a serious missioner though, but sometimes its nice to get some casual and STEADY isk (I do mostly exploration).

Its for L4s, and the RLMLs will be for taking out frigates/cruisers while the mediums chew through the BSs.

you could trade your forth DDA for Shield POwer Relay which will increase your recharge rate. also consider faction invul which is less cpu chraging to your overall fitting and add extra resists.

In one of the other 12.493 Threads about a Level 4 Gila fitting someone was mentioning, that 2x Purger and 1x Extender Rigs works better, because with the extra buffer you survive the inital peak damage in the bonus room of AE.

Always have done L4s as a sniper (either Ishtar or Domi), so just did my first mission (The Blockade) in brawl range and I think maybe got to 79% shield at the lowest.

Thinking of investing in some Augemented drones. Also, my first time using RLMLs (I am a drone/gunnery guy...so I have very little missile skills beyond frigates and SBs), the damage is great for frigates, but planning around that reload time is painful. Also, after being used to sentries, watching my hammers slow boat around was pretty mind-numbing.

Because of that reasons I personally would use the ishtar for lv4. Long time ago where no sentries/mjds/aggroswitches/geckos existed I did lv4s with a mwd dual rep domi using heavy drones, also the bonus room of angel extravaganza. It worked, but it was a bit nerve wrecking. My first tries were failures and I had to warp out but later it worked.
Ishtar would be the same tactic with less tank and higher speed. The only difference are the aggroswitches.

Not a good setup. You don't need extender rigs, purgers work better. Also shield power relay give more tank then a DCU.

For most missions you can use 4 damage mods, 2 hardeners and drone navigation comp.
