Hi guys

I haven't played almost 3 years and now I have decided to come back and I need your ur advice since a lot of changes in the game

So I was doing high sec mission running on a drake when we're playing I did level 4 missions vs Angels, it was rather long and boring but I managed to play and earn some isks

Here is link to my character
http://eveboard.com/pilot/Merein

I need your advice on the following questions

1. Short term I need to earn some isk, should I continue lvl 4 in a drake or should I do something different
2. I had a wish to try out wh (to find Corp in wh) and I was training several Alts for it - 2 Alts for archons, 1 scanning alt and 1 alt who were doing reprocessing of loot from missions and trading in Jita. Now I found out that archon is no more sexy for wh pve. So pls help to find out which multibox setup is preferable for wh pve
3. Which long term ship should I fly (pve) I was thinking about rattle or tengu (due to my skills)

Any side ideas are welcome
I have toon who is capable of flying any command ship (trader alt) scanning alt and 2 Alts who are trained in armor/spaceship command (12m sp each)

1) Running level 3s will net you more isk than running level 4s with an inferior ship.
2) Dunno
3) Rattlesnake is in a strong place right now

Against the Angel Cartel.

Thrasher, hurricane, tornado.

Thrasher fit for range can even run lvl3s if you're good.
You can reach 1k alpha at 50km if you figure out the fitting for yourself.
Which you should.

Hurricane makes lvl3s rather boring, because they're too easy for the class and in general.

The old hurricane aka the new navy cane was able to run lvl4s fine as long range sniper with tremor.
I used the higher rof faction 650s, ungrouped, and ran them pretty fast.
Mwd and shieldtank keep you at range and alive.

For other fun with lvl4s I suggest a Tornado and 1400mm.

There is nothing more satisfying than chainlocking ships ...
... and pressing F1 (pop!), F2 (pop!), F3 (pop!) as they lock up one after another.

Ungrouped Artillery is fun!

Good luck and don't get ganked!

I ran level 4's in a Drake long ago. Level 3's are more isk per hour until you have very high skills in BS or maybe T3 cruiser might as well.

Either way high sec mission running can get boring and repetitive. You might want to give null sec or wormhole life a chance. There is good isk to be made in both of those areas.

I have not done all that much missisioning in recent years. However my understanding is that burner missions are where it's at for isk. To run burner missions effectively I think you need to be well skilled in pretty much all the races frigates and weapon's systems. Or at least that was the only way that I could find to solo them. You needed to be able to fly which ever faction or T2 frigate was ideal for that mission and needed the skills to fit it out well.

If you are interested in wormhole life I would suggest you try out day tripping. Just fit out a cheap scanning / hacking ship and give it a go. It will take a little bit to get used to how to operate in wormholes but you should know relatively quickly if it is a playstyle that suits you or not.

That will completely depend on the class of the hole you want to run sites in. I recommend you find a corp first and then ask them. They should have a good idea of the ideal setup for whatever class they run if they are PVE focused.

You need to find a good WH corp that you trust before even thinking of bringing an archon (much less two) in for PvE. Two archons found in a chain is like christmas, and wormholers love shooting other people. Unless you are in a C5/C6, don't use archons at all. If anything, RR rattlesnakes work well, and even then I would make sure you have a semblance of hole control for that.

If you're in a WH corp in C2/C3/C4 space and they even let you PvE in an archon, you're probably not in a good corp. If you want to just try WHs, find a corp, bring some PvP ships in make some money gas mining, and just get your feet wet before putting the ISK into expensive ships.

Regardless, read this thread What Should I Use To Kill Sleepers?
