Missions & Complexes

Medium armor reppers, even with the ship bonus, are not really sufficient. Also, and more importantly, you cant get enough dps with only 4 sentry drones. Really just train Gallente BS and fly a Domi.

Presumably you already have sufficient armor tanking skills. And it sounds like you already have sentry drones. Just put medium guns on the Domi until you have trained large guns. Even tech I large guns are ok.

You will be fine for level IVs in a level 4 sp Domi with tech I large guns or tech II medium guns. As long as you have sentries you will do enough dps, have enough buffer, and be able to tech I even large armor rep your way to completion.

edit : btw I see you are in FW. You will want to carry some ecm drones to try to shake a squid tackler and warp out if you have to. Even in high sec you will get jumped, and you cannot count on the npc faction navy to save you.

second edit: with perfect skills and some faction or deadspace fittings you could run level 4s. But it really makes no sense because you will take longer doing it that way than just flying a tech I domi. It would be the equivalent of guys that get besotted with their stupid passive drakes and run level 4s in them. It will take too long and is not the way to make isk. Not that level 4s anyway are a good way to make isk. Level 4s are really just a way for people that have limited or interruptable play time to do something before the inevitable wife aggro or whatever.

What mission was it?





Please don't presume to tell us how to post, thank you.

myrm has one of the best passive tanks in game, and should easily be able to meet lv4 tanking reqs with an armor tank and the active tank bonus. and either way I'd guess you can throw either a 10mn or 100mn ab on, moving at speed reduces incoming damage by a good portion.

that said either way I'm not sure what kind of DPS you can put out after dedicating most slots to tank. It seems to me that a gila might be a better choice for lv4s. Or just skip the myrm and jump up to the dominix. the extra drone bay and bandwidth not to mention the nice tracking/optimal bonus are a nice jump up.

It's funny that you should mention bounties. I used to mostly paint a pilot orange if their bounty was high till yesterday. Some ashat placed a small bounty on me for no reason. So I finally read up on bounties.

There are many good pilots with bounties on them so I will no longer paint them bad for that reason alone. I still paint the pirates red so I can get notified when they are in my system. I am still on the lower end of the pecking order.

Two medium reps, reactive hardener, appropriate resists profile for the other two slots and a dda. Get a nice implant that increases repair about and/or capacitor recharge. 250mm t2 rails worked well enough to snipe with iridium and antimatter in close to keep aggro off your drones. Had a drone navigation computer in the mid as well. It was an old fit. Hopefully it still works. Probably better, now that repair amounts were buffed. 2x ogre, 2x Hamm, x1 hob. Change up to berserker; valk, warrior for angel missions. You can make her cap stable easy. Meta 4 railgun will work fine too, with that ammo. Will work until you can use the domi with sentries. Myrm is AB fit of course. Keep your traversal up.

Train a Domi you already have most of the skills, drones, armor tank. And while the domi is not the most effective ship in every mission It will give you a taste of lvl 4s

But if I had to do lvl 4s in a battle cruiser or cruiser I would use a Gila or navy vexor.

Actually, the Myrm does okay dps if you can keep the ogres in place. The full flight of mediums do just as good when there are few battleships. A great ship to learn the 4's in before you throw a battleship away with a noob mistake.

616dps
You can even throw a nano-pump in if you t2 the cap rigs.

There are a few things people overlook when they give recommendations:
Isk and SP.

Both are high and often unavailable to a noob. The myrm is somewhat of a realistic short term goal. Many of you seem to forget just how long it takes to jump in a t2/t3 or tech2 sentries.
