You're not breaking the Crimson Lord (Blood 6/10) with 350 dps. It takes freaking forever at 538. Unsure about others.

Claims such as these always intrigue me. Is that 538 DPS your actual dps with the ship, or a theoretical EFT DPS? Are you shooting the correct ammo type? Are you at a decent range? etc?
Ishtar, 2 SDAs, 2 omnis, Garde IIs and Curator IIs, both within optimal (Curators do very slightly more damage after resists; 437 vs. 431 dps and yes, I used both in cycles to allow them to rep as he also has a tendency to target them every once in awhile). So:
- Optimal: check.
- Tracking: check.
- Resists vs. damage type: check.
Care to add any other dimensions to that list?

Basically if it takes this much time, you are doing something wrong. The longest it took me to kill a dude was a Dominion Saint in a 150 DPS Travel fit Dramiel (it was in a belt next to a gate i bounced off) and i had to burn out guns to break the tank.
As already stated, belt rats are not the same as overseers. Not even close. Your Dramiel can probably break just about any belt rat but it won't stand a chance against a 6/10. It might not die (incoming damage was never a problem) but it won't kill something like that. Neither will a sub-par BC or even a badly fit/off damage type BS.
(In the previous room you have to break a similar tank on a structure -- from outside of 60km. If there's a BC that can project that much damage that far I've never flown it, more or less limiting your options to sentries and BSs.)

You don't actually have to kill the Crimson Sentinal, I typically don't. Get it to aggro on a drone/something else, kill the bs's, blitz to the gate.
Well, there's a good chunk of play time I'll never get back. Thanks for that....
