Fit for the mission, save the fit, call it that mission. Rinse and repeat 50 times, never think about it again.

Add On: I do level 3's as well. They take less time and drop more medium loot.

I solo level 4s with either a navy Geddon or Apoc... depending on my mood.

Only 1 repper, and only had trouble on the Blockade. So far. Without EVE survival though... probably would have been easier then.

When you get bored, do 4's in an AF .. is quite fun (read: challenging).

Max. Profit/Boredom: Marauder. Any pairing will do really, except for Paladin against Serpentis/Gurista.
Max. Fun: HAC, AF or Pirate Cruiser.
Max. Speed: Pirate BS.

Use The Correct Hardeners(tm) and you too can solo level 4 missions like a pro.

Also, don't aggro the entire room at once. Pull the correct spawns in the correct order. If you do not, you will aggro multiple spawns at once and it becomes much harder to tank. You can learn the correct order to engage spawns in by looking the mission up online, or just through trial and error.

Fairly certain he meant 5 months. Employment history and previous posts suggest its a genuine question o.O

ITT: 8/10 or just lots of people who'll share mission fits any time anywhere regardless of troll (hey, information exchange is always good, and even obvious trolls can make for good catalysts)

Edit: or a massive typo where "5 years" is supposed to be "5 months", in which case the score of 8/10 is removed completely.

A T2 fit drake can solo most level IV's given enough time and intelligent flying.


I'd suggest a rattlesnake however.

Fit resists.

Or take them in an assault frigate, whatever's easier.

I can do it easy with with my paladin!! But I can also do it with an apoc or whatever. Soloing level 4 missions is all about having active tank that you know will last, listening to the radio and spam corp channel with memes!

Also wanted to add to make sure you have drone interfacing 5 as well as T2 light, med and heavy,sentry drones. Very helpful.

A lot of people say go with Rigor Rigs but I prefer CCC's since I can run the Tank of the recharge. It is mostly Missions like the Blockade where I need to run the Cap Booster maybe even Warp out once. Pretty much any other missions I don't even bother with it or only use a couple of Charges. With CCC's Precision Missiles are a god send for taking out Cruisers. I use a Meta 4 Shield Booster for fitting so I can have a Sig Amp since their are times when the enemy spawns about 100km away. I will upgrade that to faction though.

I like this Ship because it is lazy I often alt tab out to do other stuff after I pick a target so Blitzing is not really my thing. I make good money between it and my Noctis. The Tractor Beam is so I can grab any Mission items if they are close before I grab my Salvage Boat.


Pretty much this. I used to run a passive recharge set-up before I discovered the beautiful thing called Capacitor Booster. Personally, I used a shield boost amp instead of the extra hardener, and I think a PDS II instead of the signal amp. Been a while so I don't recall exactly. I tanked Worlds Collide 5/5 and AE bonus room solo with it.

Honestly, I can do most level 4s with a Drake. But I was bored and decided to set up the old girl to tank them. Op success!

He's got CCCs, has decided he can run the tank on recharge, and still has the booster.

Dat be silly.

For my tastes, there are generally 2 Vanilla Ravens for L4s (there are some other good fits, but they usually require $$$)
1) Cap Boosted (Rigors, 4 BCUs, etc)
2) Cap recharge (CCCs, a flux coil, maybe drop to a large booster, etc)

Anything in between is probably a poor choice.
