I know that this is just silly and probably has very few practical reasons for being tried, but do you think its possible to tank certain level 4s with just drones? I mean:
1 Warrior II 3 Shield Maintenance Bot II (Small or Medium) 1 Armor Maintenance Bot II (Small or Medium)
or something like that. Use the Warrior II as bait and sic the maintenance bots on him to keep him alive, then you could fit all of your ship for pure damage. Maybe an Abaddon would see the most benefit. You'd have to keep the Warrior II moving around to attract all the aggro and to keep the incoming damage to a minimum. I really want to attempt this but I don't have the skills whatsoever, think it would work?

And then you kill a trigger, and a new wave spawns, they'll kill your repper drones, tackle your ship before you warp and kill you quite fast.

Edited by: VaMei on 18/04/2011 15:15:33 It's not exactly the solution you proposed, but once you kill off any nearby frigs, a Sentry Domi with RR in the highs actually drone tanks most L4s rather nicely.

Is there any way to ensure a new spawn would focus on just the Warrior II? |

Edited by: Buzz Hulbreech on 18/04/2011 15:24:55 Edited by: Buzz Hulbreech on 18/04/2011 15:23:52 Definitely works with sentries and a medium remote shield repper for every 2 drones you want to support. If you have the cash Faction sentries have a stack of HP to work with. Generaly I use one drone out, pre targeted to aggro each spawn, when pop the other out when the Sacrificial goat has drawn aggro.
Splitting DPS 6 ways makes warp out missions doable solo (ae bonus), but you really need a 5 RSTs one for each drone in this situation.
I don't *think* you can rep yourself/own drones with armour bots, but I'd say their repair amount would be insufficient anyways.

You can rep your own drones with armor/shield bots. However, you might want to consider a few things, first of all; I now have one of those annoying sigs. second; you should probably move on to some more interesting things than reading this sig.

Or Ogre II's with Navigation link which is my personal favorite. But, you're not going to be tanking all the missions. With uber armor skills and t2 modules I'm about 50/50 on what I can/can't tank. Haven't cared enough to faction/complex fit my domi since l4 hisec missions don't really justify the costs, IMO. I'd much rather faction/complex fit my Tengu for sleepers making +200mil/hour instead of l4....at best 60mil/hour. But hey, with a RR tengu fleet, T2 fits work like gravy. ;)

Not really. You can raise your chances by placing the drone near to the NPC spawn point, but for that you must know the mission very well (I mean which wave and where it is spawning next), but even this way you cannot be sure the NPCs will target your drone.
