How do you guys survive L4 Recon 3?
I'm thinking shield hardeners would be useful, but what type, if any, will work with that particular damage type ?
I suppose one could fit multiple shield boosters and cap rechargers, then sprint through in a fast cruiser .....

My vanilla fit Drake went through fine with an AB and two Overdrive modules in low (two Invulns for hardeners and 3x LSE for tank). I never got below 78% shields IIRC.

I use a Stabber, the same one Filo posted. Does just over 1000 m/s on afterburner. With no shield rigs, I hit the gate with 15-20% shield remaining. I could probably up the resistances considerably by fitting 2x EM rigs and 1x thermal rig, but I can't fly an Orca and it's a lot easier to move around by repackaging it.

My passive fit Drake went through without breaking a sweat. Just a standard setup with 3 purgers, 3 extenders, recharger, couple hardeners, and a couple relays. Shields regenerated faster than the toxic cloud could damage me, and that is with my drake mulling across space at 140 m/s. Easy L4 mission.

Listen to Filo & Gavin for they know whereof they speak.
 Originally by: Eve-Missions
Stabber setup: Y-S8 Hydrocarbon I Afterburner (or T2), 2x Large Shield Extender II, 3x Overdrive Injector. This is the fastest way to complete the mission.

I like using a dual rep damnation with a 100min afterburner 
stabber is probably the best bet for speed though

If you offline the launchers you can easily fit a 100mn afterburner on a drake which pushes it up to around 700-800m/s Takes a while to accelerate that much but passive tanked drake can slowboat its way to the finish line anyways

For Minnies: I am using a simple rupture with engine booster, 10mn cheap-o AB, a random small plate (just in case, don't use a big one else you turn too slow at the entrance), the rest all shield extenders till I can't fit no more and then 1 shield booster.

Just take a raven, or whatever into it and run to the gate. If you can survive any lvl 4 then this mission is not a problem. Kind of omni fit, but it really doesn't matter. If you have good shield skills there is nothing to worry about.

Um, why is everyone recommending cruisers and such? Hell, I just AB my way to the gate in my Hyperion. It doesn't take long and there's no way the gas cloud can overpower my rep even if I only have two hardeners on and one LAR II.
It's really not hard.... unless you're in a cruiser. But if you're doing L4s isn't it common sense to use a larger ship? Or at least a T2 one, like an Ishtar? Plus, you're Gallente. Unless you've crosstrained to Minmatar or Caldari, I really have no idea why you're asking about shields at all.

We do it for speed. It takes me roughly 60 seconds from the time I drop into the cloud until I hit the acceleration gate. Add in time for the warp, the initial warp out from the station and the warp back to the station and I complete this mission in something like 5 minutes tops. Sure, I could slowboat it in my Raven (at 112 m/s, LOL, or even 269 m/s with an afterburner) but why? I find it more convenient to keep a Stabber around just to do it fast. I use the Stabber on part two as well. I maneuver until the gate is in line between me and the mission station, then just align back to it and warp once the guards all spawn.

Speed and Buffer is the key to this mission. And that is all. Ofc you could fit a ubber tank BS and snail thru 60km.
I do all my lv4 missions considering this 2 factors (speed and buffer), with enough buffer and a insane gank you can do all missions extremely fast. So again... speed, buffer, 60 secs later you're home again for another mission ;)

This mission is easy. Just fit omni resistance on your BS and put some speed modules on it to make it less lengty.
