To solo c3 sites, is there any other ships aside from t3's that can cut it?

I have a friend who solos C3 sites in a sleipnir. Also I think people do them in a nighthawk. A drake can, albeit very slowly.

Tanks 425 and does 528 dps with all lvl 5 skills and no drones, cause sleepers keep going after them. this was suffiicient for all the sites, though I found themt o be a tad on the slow side.

If you have an alt you can use to provide yourself with leadership skills you can replace a shield recharger and add a PDU, this will allow for fitting a warfare link which will improve your overall tank.

It should be affordable for a wormhole user, but is still quite a bit pricier then a drake. The only benefits you get for it are a couple of extra bcu's while still having enough tank and the warfare link can help out when doing them with friends, in which case you'll be able to slap on a 4th bcu without problems

I have soloed C3 sites in a drake, and in a scorpion navy issue. In both cases it was slow but it is eminently do-able. I have failed to solo in maelstrom, although suspect it can be done with a little more skill / care / patience than I could muster at the time. Maelstrom has no trouble killing the tougher C3 rats but has difficulty tanking them long enough to do so.

Having lived in several C3s for quite a while now I have had the chance to watch many raiding visitors run, or try to run, the sites solo. The dominant non-T3 solo raider ship I have seen has been the nighthawk and it has little difficulty clearing the sites. I have also seen the minmatar and Amarr field command ships (sleipnir and absolution), but not their gallente counterpart, as well as a selection of HACs ... although I never did see any of the HACs complete the sites. I had a golem visitor once, and he seemed to have little difficulty but was not terribly quick.
By a great margin the most frequent visitor raider ship type I have seen has been the tengu ... solo or in company.

I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.

My favorite C2/C3 ship was the slepnir, but it does require either a fleet booster or a very expensive shield booster. Actually, a faction shield booster is pretty much required any way you put it. But a complex C-type makes tank a non-worry. Nighthawk can also do it, but I haven't tried any other ships. Could probably pull it off in most marauders though.

Paladin is the best solo c3 ship there is(salvage on the run) and by far the best c2 ship(due to low dps so you can tank it with a lar and 2 eanms)
