I am currently running a pimped out torp Golem, and I blaze through missions pretty quick. What I've been thinking about lately is converting one of my alts into a missioner as well, to aid my speeding through missions.
Any suggestions as to what would be an awesome compliment to a Golem, other then another golem?

Get a Logistics alt, then run L5s

Not interested in anything low sec. I really don't like looking over my shoulders when I'm trying to earn a living. That and I play for fun casually, which does not include being scanned down by somebody who gets their fun by ruining mine.

If we're considering that your Golem will be the account you will focus most of your attention on, you might consider an afk-friendly ship to go along with it. For this purpose, a passive/perma-tanking ship would probably fit best. In this category the Dominix>Tengu>Night Hawk>Drake would all more than adequately fit the bill.
You can fit a remote shield repper or two on the domi in case of an emergency with the Golem, but it should be the main tank in the mission. Pro's of the Domi - lots of afk damage, plenty of tank.
Anyway it's an idea

i say orca - 3x 70Km tractors, 50K cargohold.
and you can refit at the ship so you can run both your's and your alts mission in one go, thus saving you time.

I actually like this idea, as my alt is currently flying an orca right now. Thank you for the advice.
Would it be best to slap salvagers on the golem then?

yup, thats what i do, I pull room aggro to make sure that nothing spawns on top of the orca (rigged for agility). start pulling things in once the first thing dies. make sure to train multitasking to 3 so you can lock up to 10 targets. the only issue is gate travel, infiltrated outpost, EA 4of5, the score, are the only ones that kinda hurt to loot and salvage.

I got an amarr alt with a paladin as logistic. Its a pure power cab machine. Golem goes first, second Paladin, which gives shield transport to the golem and has a remote repair, too. Both togehter then kill and paladin of course is a great tank, too. For level IV its somehow an overkill, but nice speed. I am dual boxing with two monitors.

I take two drakes in, or raven + drake.
The reason is that the drake's cheap, can be made cap stable even with a MWD or AB, and can take a bit of a hit if you can't be assed managing aggro.
I fit my alt's drake with 4 tractors, 4 salvagers, AB in mids (and either cap rechargers or hardners), 4 Expanded Cargohold II's in low (~950m3 cargo).
Also, I found that if I take both out at the same time, I can complete the mission + salvage in pretty much the same time as it takes me to do the mission normally. |

afk sentry domi
Takes under 15 days to train from scratch on a brand new account. throw a buddy invite to it for 51 days free account ;)
even with just enough skills you instantly add about 350 dps to your missions with the sentries, and to top it off you can set the golem up for more gank because you can use the domi to rep the golem.
2 Remote reps is MORE than enough for any mission but you can be cap stable with 5 at once (like a 3-4k dps tank which is stupid) obviously don't rely on RR's in caldari (fail) space.
so yeah get a domi. warp it in, unload sentries assign them to your golem. et voila with t2 sentries and rigs you are looking at and extra 512 dps without having to touch it after warp in.

IMO you should get the alt into a raven class ship, and when you mission share standings. It won't take long before the alt is able to run L4s on his own, and you can take 2 separate L4s at once and really bring in the isk.

Been doing a lot of thinking on this, and I definately appricate the ideas. Currently I have 4 accounts. One golem, one orca, two miners.
Here is my new plan for lvl 4 mission speed an domination:
Train the miners up to fly domi's. Get 4 missions at a time. Fly to the mission, unload sents from the domi's, while focus killing with the golem. Fly the orca in to tractor in all the loot, have domi's salvage. Fly to next mission.
Sound pretty solid? I have the accounts open for a while, and it sounds like a good way to blaze through missions for speed and isk.
Thoughts and opinions?

sounds like a waste of accounts to me 
I'd bet you will waste more time flicking through screens to do minor actions, than you will gain from using that many accounts.
I'd go for 2 afk domis in one mission then golem + other in another. for "other" I really like the nightmare 
orca is fat, slow, and can only use 3 tractors at a time

I have the accounts open, and since i'm not mining with em, what else will i use them for? Beside how much work is it really to drop sents and assign em to my golem?
Any other opinions on the golem, domi's, orca?

Huginn, I tells ya!
Granted, it'll be the exact opposite of an AFK alt (you'll probably need to keep your eyes more on the Huginn than on the Golem), but if there's ever a ship that improves the Golem's performance, this is it.  ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

Edited by: Pixelst0rm on 10/03/2010 09:54:26 The more i look at it the more i consider a command ship with gang modules for myself. Yes, its not that awesome wtfbbq boost but its FREE ù you dont need to do a thing ù just login with it and throw in fleet invitation.
Thats the only thing i might be using since i hate alt-tabing. If i would ever consider going 2 windows with logist and tank or smth that would be for l5s, anything else doesnt look like its worth it.

Anything else except another golem actually increases your need for micro managing, but has really small increase on profit.
It's the same thing in mining, do I add Orca, Iteron V or another Hulk?
Two Golems beats Golem + something easily.

Well, drone boats doesnt look all that bad ù just set drones on assist. Profit. I would say something like passive Gila since it rarely need your attention because of insane overtank on l4. But then again i dunno why would anyone dual box for l4.

Lets make it Rattlesnake with FoF missiles and drones on assist xD Zero attention, good dps.

Here is my beaf, the golem doesn't need assisting!
If you really want to be more efficient in your money making, have the golem pilot share standings with one if the domi alts. It wont' take long before that alt can accept L4s on his own. Get your afk domi set up, have him fleet with the other domi alts, and you have an afk mission fleet set up while you run with your golem.
While the afk domi won't mission quickly, 3 will really increase the speed and you will get the income of 2 L4s run quickly instead of 1 run quickly.

this was pretty much what I was getting at.

Two Golems running their own missions, now that's a real increase in profit.

Thanks for all the replys. Just wanted to do something useful with all the accounts i have open, espcially since i've given up mining on them.
The golem really does run missions pretty quick by it's self. I figured anything more might just help the speed that much more, and make my accounts actually bring in isk istead of just sit there doing nothing.
I'll try a few things, and I might post again with results....
