I was wondering if a Heavy interdicter, the Devoter in particular, could run a level 4 mission, I would'nt really care how long it would take so long as it works out to more isk/s then running level 3s. I would test this myself but a Hinter is kinda alot to risk.

What does the Hinter bring to the fight that a normal level 4 ship cant?

It could, but it really isn't worth it.
It is common to see groups of people (or groups of alts) plexing in 0.0 with a HIC taking all the aggro. However, bear in mind that HICs are designed to be heavily buffer tanked and aren't meant for active tanking at all. So logistics are used to rep the HIC while it tanks. A third ship, or group of ships, takes care of actually destroying NPCs.
Consider this also:
The Devoter does practically no DPS. The Devoter has limited range even with scorch crystals, so you'll have to MWD/AB everywhere, and run right out of cap. The Devoter is meant to run with a set of trimarks and 1600mm plates, so you'll be dog slow and even NPCs will kite you.
In short, while using a HIC to tank is a viable solution in a plexing gang, it is utterly pointless in level 4s. -- Killed me? Read about it in my blog! Northern Lights: Solo PVP in EVE Online

A HIC can very well tank any lv4. A command ship or a battleship would be able to tank them too, and would deal better dps so the isk/hour would be higher, but if you really want to use a HIC instead, it's possible.

Edited by: Lekegolo Khanid on 10/01/2010 20:52:12 I'm training a Hicter for PVP and i was just wondering if it would work, the next best tank I can fly is a Phrophecy so I'm confined to level 3's. Wut is Plexing?

Tanking l4s is rarely the issue tbh.
5-600 DPS tank on a battleship hull is sufficient and cruiser hulls get plenty of damage mitgation.
Normally it's a question of being able to complete in a reasonable timeframe.

and flying one for lvl 4s is silly!!
Take a harb for lvl 3s and you'll get way more isk/lp/standing per hour than a lolvoter. Or any hic for lvl 4s. Or level 3s prolly although I suppose an onyx could be as fast ..
All the above is prolly crap Drone Guide
