Power of Two and Missions

Ok, so last night I decided to take CCPs offer up for power of two and now I have 2 accounts running.

So, I started to ask myself what race would compliment my already Gallente specialised pilot, and I went for Amarr as they are both armour/drone users and well.. Amarr seems to be quite a fun race to play with.

So, the question is this; I have two characters, Gallente and Amarr and I'm running lvl 4s at the moment, what two ship combo would compliment each other well during the missions?

Oh, and also, on a side note, what two ship combo would work well for some cheeky 0.0 ganking?

First thought in my head is a Ganky Megathron w/ Guardian logistics (could work w/ the T1 Amarr logi as well to start with). You could do a drone/Gank Domi plus Guardian as well.

i suppose you could go the other way and have a gank Geddon w/ an Oneiros for logi.

There is always the partner dual remote rep Domi if you want to go w/ two gallente pilots.

Don't know how viable this would be, but you could go Ishtar Ganky and a tanky Geddon w/ heavy rep drones on your Ishtar...

I'd say there are a few good choices.

People would say for missions to just get two tengu's....but thats not very fun!

Two LAR Domi and a Geddon would be fun. Have the Domi draw aggro and go to work.

I agree on the geddon/domi mixmatch, presuming you're going to mission for Amarr? It helps to know who the bad guys are but with 250 bandwidth between the boats it doesn't really matter.

Have the domi take agro with a super tnak from all those low slots. It deploys it's bonused sentries and starts up a cap chain with the arriving Geddon. Geddon recaps the domi and as it's highly gank fit, blows everything up.

Considering the "low" price of Navy geddons, try one out. With it's extra mid slot you can have a cap recharger, target painter or a tracking computer depending on what you need. It also has an extra 50m3 of drone space so you can stock up on repair bots if the Domi gets into trouble or some smalls for taking apart pesky frigates.


The other option is having a Abaddon as it will be easier to remote rep from the Domi with it's better resists. The Abbadon also has great DPS when fitted with Tachs as it has more fitting avialble for the bigger beam guns. Depends on what range your ships will spawn. Use the smaller drone bay for mediums/smalls and the domi helps out with its sentries again.

The benefit of the Domi is that it can also remote rep from a high slot, even tractor in mission cans if they are too far away. It's large drone bay can have 5 x Heavy Armour bots and then the repped ship is really safe!

Dont feel that you need to pair up a rr setup. Personaly i never went for one tank and one gank setup. With two ships you will find that gank is enough for both ships to survive long enough with single local rep each and you dont even need cap chains or be stable as rats die quick. Also sharing aggro means you need less tank in the first place as well. Geddon is hard to make aelf sufficient with low sp character so i would look at domi+apoc setup

I used to fly a gank Maelstrom on my main and a more tanky Abaddon on this character. Together they did lvl 4 missions in Amarr space quite fast. So two chars accept one or two missions and do them together.

Or I flew a Dominix with my gallente alt while my main was doing missions in another ship. But in this case each character was doing his own missions and looting/salvaging them as well.

These days I would do missions on one char while the alt flies a noctis and clears them afterwards while my main if off to the next mission.

I'd suggest an arty maelstrom for more gank and so you only need to alt-tab every ~20 seconds.

When you have enough gank, you don't need tank in missions. Just pay attention to triggers.

would have to say NONE OF THE ABOVE, having double boxed and triple boxed missions before i'll have to say that targeting and firing on multiple accounts is much more annoying then say having one drone boat put on assist and the other doing the targeting and shooting.and just have a semi dps/semi support (pleeeenty of highs)just have the first boat loosely tanked and ganky while having the second one be pretty tanky and build some RR on it. ofc, preferably make it all cap stables a big plus as well for any afk needs.
