Hello all. Sorry if this has been answered, I've been doing some research and I'm worried the information I found is very out of date.

I would like to dedicate 2 alts to money making in Lv5 missions. I have a relatively safe spot in Amarr space that I can run missions with little risk.

My two questions revolve around these stipulations. I do not wish to use Carriers if possible, and I do not wish to run blinged out officer fit ships.

I would like to ask what would be cost effective and time effective ships to run these missions in? I could also devote a 3rd logi alt, but I want to have 2 alts to pull missions and who don't care about standings.

Would Marauders be best? Paladin or Golem? I would prefer to keep the fit and ship under 1 billion to minimize risk and cost of losses from mistakes. Should I do 1 T3 and 1 Marauder? Faction BS?

Please give me your experiences with this. Thank you. Consider too I am focused on Amarr enemies, so most likely a lot of Blood Raider missions. Also would it be worthwhile to run the missions against Galente and Minmatar factions? or better to pass on those?

I've done it with sub caps but not in amarr space. I got some fits off a discussion at Reddit and turns out they do work,'

I've been told the DPS from the missions are pretty severe. Passive tank can keep up well enough?

Also would Rattlesnake be better? Do you skip non-pirate faction missions?

Nope - the DPS is too massive, hence the dual ancillary shield boosters (because you can and will get neuted out).

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

The LP's and Empire tags gained from completing Anti-Empire security missions can net you some pretty good Faction stuff from the LP Store.

Now if you don't want your main character to gain negative Faction standings for missions against Gallente and Minmatar, then just have an alt character pull those missions.

Rattlesnake is doable, Marauder is easier.

With the Passive Snake you work it like you do in a wormhole , put out a mobile depot and switch from damage mods to Shiled Power Relays (SPrs) and back again as needed.

There IS also an expensive active tank LvL5 mission Rattlesnake fit I have used. It works well but cost about 1.7 bil and requires a partial high grade crystal set (all but the omega) and 2 +5 cap hardwirings. It's a beast though, takes more than a small gang on PVPr's to kill her.

Cap stable against 200 GJ per second of cap draining. I didn't make it, I stole it from this Solo C6 wormhole rattlesnake video (once you realize that lvl 5missions are basically like wormhole sites, you are halfway there lol).

Every fit here has a shield booster, yet is labeled as "passive"

A passive shield tank relies on shield regen rather than a booster.


I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
