I need to grind level 3 missions to get to a certain level 4 agent and I was going to do it in a Megathron so I can burn down the missions quickly. I planned on going rails, but the past Level 3 mission setup for Megathron I came across had all blasters. Now I can understand that frigates close in on you quickly, but I was just going to let my drones take care of whatever gets close [I have 5m skill points in drones]. Am I wrong in thinking that medium rails [large wouldn't be able to hit the things in level 3] will be harder vs using blasters in level 3?
Thanks so much! :-)

If you grind l3 and have 5m in drones get a dominix. It will be much faster.

This...the domi can AFKpwn all lvl 3s with mediocre BS skills, and complete all lvl 4s easily after you have skilled up a bit...through some 350s on it to provide additional dmg when needed on med/large targets too...
I also believe that a Domi will flow through lvl 3s much faster, as the majority of targets will be small frigs and cruisers. The Mega might have moar instant-dps (higher base turret dmg), but in the long run the Domi is more efficient...
For lvl 3's I would guess a single LAR cap stable setup and a flight of Hammerheads II can do the job 95% of the time AFK... Join the Biggest Greek Corp! www.Mythos-eve.com - Join Mythos Channel in game! |

As much as I love my Mega for L4 missions, I'd never consider using it in L3, even with the tracking bonus you won't hit most of the ships one they start orbitting you and your drones will be killing everything so use a drone ship for the bonuses.
Domi if you have lower skills, I can afk every L3 in my Myrmidon but then I'm a very old and very specialised character with rank V in pretty much all the drone and armor tanking skills. Myrmidon's probably a touch faster just cos it's slightly quicker to fly than the domi and does the same damage with a flight of mediums or lights.
Oh, and with a drone ship you can salvage while your drones kill, which is another plus, you don't need guns.

Dual 250mm rails will track well enough to tag the orbiting cruisers that are common in level 3s. When you move onto level 4s upgrade the guns to 350s, or skills allowing 425s. A gank fit mission running megathron is rather fun to use. |

You can gank fit a domi or a myrm, too. Just because you can AFK in a domi you dont need to.

Everyone loves using sentries, but i honestly can't see the advantage of them over heavies.

Then don't fly an AFK Domi. Fly a salvager domi with a few guns... because BS guns are all but useless in L3's (last I checked, which has admittedly been since October).

Edited by: TraininVain on 06/03/2009 20:10:58 Guns are fairly target size dependent.
If you have to go the gun route a ship with cruiser sized guns will maybe work better.
Drones might work better.
