hey, I think my current setup is okay but I did just one
lvl3 mission at all and I want to be prepaired, so can you suggest me a setup?
my current is
4x720mm howy
3xlight missile launcher
1x220mm auto
1xab
1xmed schield ext
1x32% em schield
1x20% thermal schield
1xmed armor rep
1x400mm plate
1xgyrostab
1xpower diagnostic
(I wish the cyclone had one more low slot like the rupture...)
also, do lvl3 rats warp scramble? if yes, how many warp stabilisers do I need?

Some of the warp scrambling rats also MWD to you and then orbit at insane speeds. You might want to make an autocannon set up for some deadspace missions.
Usually you get 2 30000rat merc wingman to deal with.
You don't want to ruin your set up with warp core stabilizers on an l3 mission anyway.

I wouldn't recommend armor tanking the cyclone; the bonus is for shield tanking and I think it works best doing so.
I think my setup for mine is
5x 720 howitzers
3x heavy missile launchers (admittedly, i haven't trained the new skills so i'm not sure on these)
1x 10MN AB2
1x Med shield booster 2
1x thermal, EM active hardeners (50% each) (or rat specific, if you know what damage you're going up against)
Either:
4x power diags
2x rcus, 2x gyrostabs
7? or so med drones. Heavies would be good, but the drone bay is only 75m3 if i remember.
I haven't tried shield boost amps yet, but i'm working on it..see what works best.

I stopped bothering using too much artillery for level 3's, as drones dont do enough damage to take care of some of the faster ships (like wingmen) and your arty cannot track them, nor kill them before they get to you with their mwd/AB/whatever they use.
However, I find that there doesn't seem to be a setup that lets a Cyclone consistently do the leve l3 missions; even if you can pass the first half of the black market hub missions, the second part with the 2x Cruiser. 2x Elite Frigate and 2x Turret is far too much damage for a BC to handle. I think with other race BCs these missions would be eminently more doable, but the cyclone seems to have problems.
Any suggestions or experience of use out there?

5x 650mm 2 or 720mm 2
3 heavy launchers
10mn afterburner
medium shield booster 2
shield boost amp
webber
PDUs and gyrostabilizers in lowslot.
Works fine with level 3 missions.

My setup:
Highs:
5x720mm
3xAssault launcher
Meds:
Named EM hardener
Named Thermal Hardener
Either 10mn AB2, or a Named kinetic hardener
Med shield booster 2
Lows:
With Afterburner: 1 rcu, 3 gyros
Without Afterburner: 1 pdu, 3 gyros.
I've done all the missions with this, but I don't recommend doing Black Market Hub or The Spy Stash. Angel Extrav is easy, just long and boring.
Take out frigates first, if they get to you use the assaults and drones to take them out.

Waay too light on the Hit Points.
I was doing lvl3's in my thorax with just a med armor repper, 1600 rolled tungsten, and two active hardeners going. Had to warp out every now and then, but it was deffinantly doable for everything including the serpentis and angel extra's.
Hell, if I was paying attn I wouldnt have lost any ship...******* ass drones.

After reading the stick thread there was a link with two threads about the cyclone.
consultion, its better to shield tank it.
so I changed my setup to the following
4x720mm
2xheavy missile
1xlight missile
1x425mm auto
2xcap recharger
1xmed shield ext
1xmed shield boost
4xpdu
1637cap rate: 222sec
3764shield rate: 657sec
:)
works like a charme now, at least the first 2 missions I did.

After allmost losing my Cyclone on black market hub i realized you need two setups. One high damage one for breezing through the easy missions. And one shield tank for the four hard missions.
My high damage setup:
720 x 5, Heavy Launcher x 3
10MN AB II, Medium SB II, Active Shield Hardner (thermal), Target Painter
PDU II x 4
Shield Tank:
650 x 5, Heavy Launcher x 3
10MN AB II, Medium SB II, Invulnerability Field II, Large Shield Extender
PDU II x 4
The shield tank has a 6000+ hp shield and still runs at 450 m/s. With the tank i dont have to warp out of any of the missions. I carry a mix of light and medium drones to take care of those brutal webber frigs.
