Since Crucible, I've been using an Oracle and a Tengu. tried a Tornado and Tengu, but with the Oracle as purely a DD, the low slots enable several damage mods and a couple of nano's. With Navy Gamma I orbit targets at 45km's. According to the ship fitting tool I'm getting over 800 dps with it. If I switch to Navy Radio, it goes out to 121km's, lol.

I haven't trried the other two Tier 3 BC's yet, but tbh, I can't see them bettering the Oracle.

One laptop, 3 characters.

First is the Boss in her Command ship, running 2 links, Shield harmonizing and Armor Passive Defence. She has maxed out leadership skills, 14 of 14, 15,872,000 skillpoints, and maxed out social skills, 9 of 10 skills for 5,120,000 skillpoints. ( damned missing DED book! )

This lets her push insane resist bonuses to the 2 missioners. She orbits a station or gate in the target system if high-sec, and if lo, she scoots along in a general line to a safe spot with her ab running in case of unwanted probers.

She also pulls the missions for maximum payout.

Once mission is launched and she is in place, that window is minimized for the duration unless in lo sec, then I watch local count for increase.


Tank and damage dealer one is Domi drone whoremaster. He has perfect armor tanking and maxed out ( yes even capital ) drone skills. With the bonuses from the Boss, his exp resists, for example, are 92, with the others slightly less. Drone and targeting mods and other general bonuses yield targeting beyond 120k, and he stocks a full compliment of all 4 drone sizes.


Damage dealer 2 is Raven with maxed out ( yes, even capital ) missile skills. He wanders around the room out of reach at stupid orbits of 200k spamming cruise missiles all over the place.

3 very cheap ships with nothing more than T2 modules, breeze through any mission and most non-capital exploration sites.

Major benefit is T1 hulls = no real loss if ganked. Between standard payouts and LPs, I can replace the entire mess every 4 or 5 missions if I get that unlucky.

Now, if only there was a "guard xxx" command for the cruise missile spamming raven like there is for the drones............

This. I see no reason to risk billions when I'm running two characters in a mission that can be completed by one.

I used a Tempest/Domi combo in low sec for months and didn't have any trouble waltzing through L4 missions. No fancy faction gear either - just t2. Never did get ganked, either.

Very nice mate. Very nice indeed. I'd love to run three accounts, but my PC barely copes with two. I'm interested in your leadership character though. Does he/she have mindlinks and all that stuff too? I'm halfway there with my second character but would be interested to learn of what would make her the nuts re. leadership skills?
