[215] ive done that mission, those senries were a ***** but i didnt have much of an issue dealing with them with my ferox i had 2 corp members with me to help me take out the sentries quick before the main NPC ships agro, i didnt feel it was "that" hard though, i guess flying a tanked to the teeth ferox had something todo with it. my setup is as follows: 5x heavy launchers packing widowmaker\thunderbolts meds: 1 med t2 booster 2x 50% thermal 1x 50% kentic\EM (npc type related) 1x barton cap recharger lows: 2x BCU 2x PDS I's (waiting to get power diag II's :D) when im facing serp type missions i get ~80% thermal and 77% kentic on sanasha i use the EM harder, getting 53% EM and ~80% thermal i can run all 3 harderners and the med booster for around 20 minutes which is enough time to tkae out the main damage dealers. this setup cant take out a BS tbh, due to low DPS (700 dmg every 10 seconds, not counting drones) but it has EXCELLENT range and flexability, call me a noob but hey, my advice is take 2 corp buddies with ya, its a fun activity, and sure helps to take out those coupel of damage dealers that end up killing you if you let them live. and always start with frigates.. especialy if u see a sanasha webifier damn ******* are tough. |

The BS aren't overpriced. They are an investment, aand once you have one you can earn isk that much faster - so they should cost alot to begin with. You can try doin level 4s in your shiny new Battleship but i think you'll find, in the beginning at least, that they work out less profitable than level 3s. You need at least 1M sp in gunnery plus some great tanking skills to have a good go a t a level 4 in a BS solo. My experience is that I am somewhere between the level 4s and 3s - where level 3s provide a better option for pure isk/hour because i can finish them faster losing less drones. Level 4s are still a reqal challenge, and I have to put aside at least a couple of hours if I want to undertake one. The level 3 Spy Stash and Black Market Hub are challenging missions, but thank god there are some challenging missions after doing level 2 missions for however long it takes to get standing up to correct levels. Just imagine it was like a few more level 2 missions - then you'd really be annoyed. |

[223] Needs more tank, IMO. I know the latest fad is to have huge plates and that's fine for PvP, but for PvE I'm still of the opinion that being able to tank indefinitely is preferable to simply having lots of hitpoints; the only time I'd consider plates for agents is if I knew I couldn't tank all the damage. I'm not a BS pilot (I do L3s in a Retri) so I'm by no means definitive here but I'd be leaning towards a T2 large rep, a T2 med rep and some active hardners if you can match them up to the damage types. |

[227] Just did the guristas version of this mission for the first time and was a little wary after reading this thread, but managed it without any warp outs and without going below 50% shield. Running the following setup on an eagle: 4x 250mm railgun II with antimatter 2x arbalest assaults with light missiles (for tackler frigs) 1x 10MN AB II, 1x named thermal hardener, 1x named explosive hardener, 1x medium SB II, 1x target painter II 2x Mag field stabiliser II, 2x cap power relay I ~32Mill SPs with a fair amount in combat skills Have a 40km optimal with 7.66x damage mod and 3.81s ROF on those 250s |

I do L3s in a megathron with 4 armor hardeners, large rep, 2 cap relays, and heavy pulse lasers. even with 4 hardeners, stuff like spy stash and black market hub can outdamage your tank at first, but you can sustain the rep for a really long time and should be able to kill most of the stuff before you get low on armor/cap. |

Too many plates and not enough hardeners is my opinion. Try using your lowslots like this : 1x large armour rep (Named or tech II makes a big diff when combined with hardeners) 3x Hardeners (I use one kin 1 explos 1 therm as standard to cover all damage types) 1x 1600mm plate (a little extra hitpoints in case things get hairy) 3x Module of your choice ( either capacitor relays or damage and tracking mods) Having all those 1600 plates sure gives you alot of armour - but it isnt GOOD armour. Whereas with just one plate and 3 active hardeners your armour resistance will all be above 60 and you will still have nearly 8000 hitpoints in an armageddon. Make sure your cap recharge is good enough so you can run the three hardeners and the large armour repairer almost permanently on their own. Remember cap recharges alot faster when it is nearly empty too. You also dont have much fitted capable of dealing with close frigs although I'd guess your heavy drones and webber can do alot of work there. Large turrets, generally speaking, won't help you with your level 3 missions, and you are better of finding a good setup with medium guns. |
