Ships & Modules

I've been running lvl IVs for a while now in a CNR and to be honest I am bored of missiles. I've been trying to find a turret based ship that puts out more dps than the CNR and also is able to tank the mission long enough to blow it up but my efforts in EFT are in vain so far. Any ideas/fits anyone has would be appreciated.

Keep the price tag under 1.5billion if you would.

Thanks!

Here's what I use for Angel missions. ~1.41B isk according to pyfa. Swap the AB for a SBAII for the tougher, shorter range missions. Options are to use a bigger booster and pulse it. I prefer the pithum medium because it's mostly cap stable and convenient by requiring less attention.

Ah Yeah good point. I am basing out of Auvergne so its gallente missions for the most part. I guess I need to just chill for now and wait till the hybrid changes go live and make a navy mega or a vindicator or something like that. I just can't seem to get any other BS to put out the dps of a cruise CNR with even close to the same tank (although I do understand if the dps is good enough I don't need to tank much).

Puts out 1010DPS inside of 8km with Hammerheads, moves at 1.6km/s, pyfa says current price is ~1.2b. Capstable with a CC8, requires spec-tanking.

If you want to splurge a bit more, drop the MWD for a Core X-Type 100MN AB, the Large Peroxide I Capacitor Power Cell for a second Cap Recharger, and stick in a Medium Ancillary Current Router I in the free rig slot. You lose 108m/s, but don't get massive sig bloom when you need to go fast.

I'm not saying the CNR or cruise missiles are bad, its just I have been using it forever and I wanted to try something different so I don't lose my mind doing LVL IVs so I can make isk for pvp ships (I don't like the idea of using the plex system for isk). The Proteus is nice but would be kind of annoying closing in on each rat and having to use close range weapons. Really looking for ranged fits. I guess I'll need to take a look at the minmatar ships then but I think I tried to make a maelstrom fit but still couldn't get more dps than the CNR and I lose the ability to change damage types to some extent.
