To be honest i have a manticore and love it to bit's only i dont generally like using it in missions seems to ... outlandish so i have a question!

Should i get a worm? or soem form of caldari/Gallente assault frigates? im not interested in anything like a proteus at the moment not my kind of ship i love battlehips and frigates, i got a rattlesnake sorted out for mission running but i want a sturdy frigate for missions also of the lvl 3-4 variety.

Thanks.

Just because i see things in a differant viewpoint does not make me paranoid it makes me a bit obsolete in the majorities views.

Aand i do love the thought of Using repair drones as bait O:

You really want to run lvl 4's in an AF or faction frig? Not that it can't... Well more like why?

Cause Isk is not everything... I enjoy speed tanking a lvl4, I just wish you could speed tank Sleepers.

The Ishkur is your friend. I highly recommend it for running all sorts of things, including missions if you enjoy that.

Worm is a very interesting frigate - it looks a bit like the ishkur but it does not forgive. While you might survive a small piloting error in the ishkur, make a mistake in the worm and you are spacedust.

Yeah, the Worm would work well, it can fit a nice tank and lots of light drones in there. Most AFs should be able to handle lvl 3-4 missions fairly well too if fit properly (and as the previous poster said, the Ishkur is pretty sweet, I use it for exploring a lot myself).

I hope you know what you are doing?
As soon as some ebil Angel ship come along and turn thier mwd's on your Manticore goes pooof.
But I recently find a Harpy can do pretty good in any level 3s. Since I still have to learn to fly it properly I havent tried it in level 4s yet.
Harpy - Level 3 setup
High:
4x Light Ion Blaster II (Antimatter or Faction Antimatter)
Medium:
1x Medium Emergency C5 shield booster, 1x Experimental 1mn AB, 1x small capacitor booster II (200 cap charges), 1x active hardener (depends on mission)
Low:
2x Magnetic Field Stabilizer II, 1x Nano II

The AB will not cap you out in any way and helps to get in blaster range quick. The capacitor booster is not really necessary but Blood Raider tend to nos / neut you so just in case.
You can swap out the medium shield booster for a small booster and get 4x Light Neutron Blaster II's.
If isk is no problem you can use VOID S and NULL S ammo.

Have fun!
