So, I can't for the life of me run harder lvl 3 missions. I can run the easy ones no problem but that is not helping me.
I have the following certs:
---Core---
Core Cap B
Core Comp B
Core Fitting S
Core Integrity B
Core Navigation B
Core Targeting B
---Defence---
Active Shield Tank B
Armor Tank B
Cloak Operator S
Prop Jam B
Target Paint Operator B
---Gunnery---
Cruiser Projectile Turrets B
Frig Projectile Turrets B
Core Fitting S
Core Integrity B
Core Navigation B
Core Targeting B
I can fly a Phoon and a cane and I have both. I should apparently be able to solo lvl 3's in these ships but I can't.
I'm looking for a decent pve fit that I can use. I have very poor drone skills.
This is my current fit on my phoon:
---High---
5 x 425mm Medium Gallium Machine Gun
3x XT-2800 Heavy Assault Missile
---Mid---
10mn AB I
L Shield Booster II
Invul Field II
2 x Hardeners mission specific
---Low---
Power Diagnostic System II
Cap Power Relay II
Tracking Enhancer II
GyroStabilizer II
---Rigs---
None
---Drones---
3 x Federation Navy Hobgoblin
(only have drones 3 and light scout drones 3)
Any advice is welcome.

Well, you should be able to do l3 missions ok, but a few pointers.
typhoon with those weapons, you get no bonuses. I would recommend the cane with med weapons. So you get more damage bonuses.
I would recommend to focus more on the battlecruiser before jumping on the bship. Bship without bship weapons or good skills suck :P
Also, on the cane, if you have an afterburner, or good speed, you can fit artillery, and just stay away from other ships and kill them on the move.
I'm no expert, but that worked when I was missioning on my cane.

A phoon is an armour tank, so don't use shield booster, but large armour rep instead..
As weapons you'll want large guns/cruise missile.
The phoon isn't such a great PvE ship though you're much better off with a maelstrom, this can be shield tanked, just use shield hardeners and large/xl shield booster, soem damage mods in the lows.

I though 425mm autocannons were medium guns?

that can't been a phooon loadout slot layout is wrong phoon has only 4 mid slots and has 7 lows.
also why are you using close range weapons for a mission running ship you should be using the longest range weapons you can get even more so if your using a battleship for level 3 missions

They are (not the Dual version though), which is why the Typhoon gives no bonuses to them.
If want a shield tank and a similar setup, a Cyclone will work fine as well.
Not as much DPS as a Hurricane, but with a stronger tank it may be a little bit more forgiving.

Ive been doing lvl's for a while now in my cane , I use 720mm artillery and start hitting from 53km , this keeps the agro contained to whatever is in range , I also use heavy missiles.

That looks rather more like a Cyclone fit than anything else. Does it look like a train, or a spare piece of pipe?
Cap power relay hurts shield boost, close-range weapons and no prop mod is a bit of a problem also. Otherwise it's ok, cept the lack of drones. I've got no idea what the hell skills those certs give, how about putting them up somewhere?

In addition to these fittings, you could throw in a few nanopump armor rigs to boost your repair cycle and/or amount, as well as a damage mod. Tradeoffs are a bit of velocity and some increased powergrid, but with good skills, you should be able to rip through level 3's with ease. :)
