Hey peeps,
I've been doing some missions at level 1 for a bit of change from scanning.
I'm currently using an Incursus frigate to do the level 1's
I'm just wondering, should change for a Cruiser for Level 2's?
Only 40 rounds per gun... I hate reloading in the middle!

For L1 missions a Frigate is more than enough. Some go with Destroyers, because those will just chew through the Frigate Rat.
For L2 missions you COULD use a Destroyer if you know what you're doing. Though I'd advice playing it safe, and getting a Cruiser for them. |

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I wasn't expecting a Dev to respond.
I'll keep using the Incursus for the time being until I can afford a couple of Vexors to do Level 2's

I was able to use an Algo's (destroyer) for level 2's and then saved up for a battle cruiser for my level 3 missions.
That Algo's with railguns just chews threw missions. http://eveboard.com/pilot/Ronix_Aideron |

I'm also new (1 month), and I've run about 8 lvl 2s in a destroyer (coercer) and really only 1 was somewhat dicey (armor got below 30% for a short time).
I did one lvl 2 in a cruiser, but my medium guns missed those frigates waaaay too much (thank God for drones), so I went back to destroyers. What can I put on my cruiser to help those medium guns hit frigates and drones better? |

You can use either a tracking computer ( with tracking speed script) Tracking enhancers and you can get your motion prediction skills up |

OK thanks. IIRC my MP is currently only lvl 2. I got a tracking computer as a drop but haven't used it yet, and I didn't know about needing scripts.
Of course I intend of get my gunnery support skills up, but I've been sidetracked recently training racial frigates and cruisers, trying to get ready for the skill changes. |

actually come to think of it, what medium guns are you useing? beams or pulese and what type of beam or pulse? beams will have slower tracking compared to pulses but longer range and pulses are the oposite,

Using beams. Forget exact name but regular no name medium beam lasers. Figured I wanted to kite at range (Arbitrator) and let drones do the dirty work. Probably not a great idea since my cruiser probably isn't going to outrun frigates, even running an AB lol.
I guess even medium pulse lasers are going to have enough range to hit something that has me webbed at max range. I'll buy some medium pulse lasers when I get home and try those. Thanks. |

Arbitrators generaly just relly entirely on drones for PvE and just kite from a distance as you just said, try using a 10MN Microwarp drive , should give you the speed nessesary , but tbh i would use either the omen or mauller for PvE in lvl 2's you will find you will kill things alot quicker without having to wait for your drones to recive orders then make there way to the target and they will have decent enough defences as it is, also sinc eyour doing lvl 2's most things will be close range so pulses would generaly be more effective. being at the closer ranges, also pulses with long range crystals like microwave and radio can hit out pretty far. |

Thanks. I've been carrying 3 sets of crystals...radio, standard, and multifreq, and swapping out as optimal range dictates.
Come to think of it, I think I was using a 1MN AB not a 10 MN lol. I guess using the right size AB for my ship might help. |

yea you will find a 10mn compared to a 1mn will make a huge difference between frigate and cruiser hulls,
also a personal preference of mine is just using multifrequency and microwave, between different ranges, as i found radio to not do very little damage where as microwave did more damage and almost the same range and multifrequency if i was going in closer would generaly reach out far enough anyway,. |

Level 1 missions are vs. NPC frigates. Use a frigate killing ship, like another frigate or a destroyer.
Level 2 missions are mostly vs. NPC frigates, with the odd cruiser thrown in. Use a frigate killing ship, like a destroyer.
Some level 2 missions, like Mission of Mercy have a lot of cruisers in them, and you'll really want to use a cruiser yourself.
Note that a frigate killing ship can be a cruiser fitted with small turrets or rapid light missile launchers. A cruiser for killing cruisers uses medium sized turrets and / or heavy launchers. |

Wait. A CCP Dev that is using normal ships and not the Polaris stuff? Why not just use the Enigma or Cockroach for everything.
