Ok here it is after 3 weeks of research and calculations, my 170 million ISK setup that I will be able to use in a couple of months for level 4 missions. Need lots of critique and thanks go out to Jim Steele for his wonderfull apoc guide.
With the new passive tanking skill coming out this should work real nice =) Oh don't worry with the right skills it fits
Highs Slots 6xMega Pulse Laser II 2xArbalest Cruiser Launcher I
Mediums Slots 3xCapacitor Recharger II 1x100mn Afterburner II
Low Slots 2xLarge Armor Repairer II 3xEnergized (NPC Specific) Membrane II 2xCapacitor Power Relay I
Drones 4 Heavy Drones, 5 Medium Drones
Need critique before I start training and buying stuff

use beams, you will get more range, and imo if you are going to usepassive hardners i would go with the adaptive nano's and be able to tank a bit if you run into some PvP

for non-deadspace mission i used; High: 7*tach2, 1 rocket launcher Med: 2*sensor Booster2, 2*tracking computer low: 1*med rep2, 1*rcu, 5*heatsink2
Nice high damage if you have the SP in gunnery, just come in at 100km with ultras and start blasting away.

Your setup looks pretty good. I agree with the use of Mega beams over pulse.
My only big criticism is why fit cruise lainchers? It's a whole new skill tree that needs to be trained and cruise do terrible damage to frigates.
Your last 2 slots should be anti frig. For that you can use medium pulse or beam lasers. It saves you training all the crap you need to get to cruise missiles.
By the way, the stacking calcs look very very wrong but that's another subject.

Had everything except ML5 and Cruise Missiles I trained, but I guess its best not to use them. Maybe rockets with defenders?? My drones will handle the frigs so no worrys there.

Id say go mega beams too, and keep them at range. Will keep the NPCs much more managable if you engage at 80km instead of 20km.
Also, i perfer active hardeners, you wont notice the cap on an apoc, and they are alot better. _______________________________________________

Originally by: Spartan III So what would they be?
3 energized nano t2: 0,759 (em) 0,519 (expl) 0,549 (kin) 0,609 (therm) 3 t1 active hardeners: 0,600 (em) 0,600 (expl) 0,625 (kin) 0,675 (therm) 3 t2 active hardeners: 0,600 (em) 0,640(expl) 0,663 (kin) 0,708 (therm) 3 damage specific energized thingy t2: 0,600 (em) 0,500 (expl) 0,531 (kin) 0,594 (therm)
In any case, you'll be much, much better with t2 active hardeners.

Originally by: Spartan III The TL2 Membranes give 37.5% not 30% or whatever you did. 1x Energized Reactive Membrane II Exp = 20+37.5=57.5% 1x Energized Magnetic Membrane II Kin = 25+37.5=63.5% 1x Energized Thermic Membrane II Therm = 35+37.5=72.5%
Sorry, it isn't working like that. It's 20% + (1-20%)*37.5% = 50%. You add the resistance to the "unresisted" part. Otherwise, you'd just use 7 active hardeners and run around invulnerable.
Then, when there is one (you add multiple membranes) you have to account the stacking penalty.
And, yes, things are going to change with the new skills and the new stacking penalty.

What the man said, take it from me, Mr. Mission-runner-extraordinaire, beams are way better then pulses, does more damage too. Yes you will have a hard time hittin cruisers at 15km but thats what heavy drones are for my friend, USE THEM! :) My Sig:

Dont bother with the missile slots.
Heres what i keep running:-
General Setup/Deadspace:-
3 Mega Modulated Beams 3 Tachyon IIs 2 Heavy Beam Laser IIs
4 Cap IIs
2 T2 Large Reps 3 Hardeners 50% 1 Heat Sink II 1 RCU II
Sniper Pwnage:-
6 Tachyon IIs 2 Heavy Pulse Laser IIs
3 Cap IIs 1 Sensor Booster II
1 Large T2 Rep 2 Hardeners 3 Heat Sink II 1 RCU II
Admittedly the tank is almost never needed, feel free to go all out sniper for those non-DS missions with no tank.
'Fun' Setup:-
7 Mega Pulse II 1 Heavy Pulse II (Can be swopped with a Dual Heavy Pulse II once you get adv weap upgrades)
3 Cap IIs 1 14km Webber (or Target Painter II...have to use one now as lost my 14km web:( )
2 Large Rep II 3 Hardeners 1 Heat Sink II 1 CPR
Warp in at 15km with multifreq loaded, web/approach the BS soon as your there and kill off the tacklers quickly with drones. Stuff dies real fast and you'll need to be on your toes but its more fun than the other two setups.

I am not showing stacked hardeners. there is one hardener on each base resistance meaning there is NO stacking penalty applied as you have to actually STACK somthing for there to be a STACKING penalty.

You do not sound mean, you sound like you don't get what i told you. Even when not stacking upon other hardeners, hardeners do not add a flat increase to resistance. That's how it is, not how i want it to be. Be convinced or be not, accept critics or comment or don't, for all i care it's not going to get me killed. You, maybe.
Even, admitting that you are right and that i am wrong, why don't you use those nice t2 active hardeners ? See, with your calculations, you can have 60% resist to em, 75% resist to explosive, 80% resist to kinetic and 90% resist to thermal. Look, that's even better. Or even better yet, drop the kinetic and explosive hardeners, get an EM hardener, and go npc'in sansha with 100% resist to EM and 90% resists to thermal. There you go, you can aswell drop half the cap stuff and only use one armor rep to tank everything.
Hope I didn't sound sarcastic as I was only trying to make a point

Edited by: Solarfury on 14/10/2005 14:31:44 Tachyon T2 fitting requirment is crazily high. You cannot fit 5 of those and still keep 2 large armor repairers without a PDU. So, it is better to use T2 mega beam since it let you do good damage without lose any tanking.

I was helping a player last night get their fitting list together for their first Apoc. So, I went with what I had been using:
Highs 6 x Mega Pulse 1 2 x Seige Launchers
Mids 4 x Cap Rechargers I or IIs
Lows 2 x Large Armor Reps 3 x NPC Hardeners 2 x Cap Relays
Then she asked me a question about the Double Heavy Beams....and at first thought they were more CPU, well they were not.
If should get 6 of the named she would be at 2.4 damage modifier and most likely be able to put some Heat Sinks in the Lows due to the less Cap useage. So she could make up the damage with the Heat Sinks.
Thoughts on that?

Siege launchers are a big no no. Pulse are too for the reason given. If the person has cpu issues then they need to train electronics and weapons upgrades.
Heat sinks dont use cap, its cpu. Stick with the advice given by the people in this thread

Swap the 2 cruise for a Rocket launcher and an Assault Launcher (Defender Missiles)
And swap the passive hardeners for active tech2's.
The apoc can handle it all NP, and yes the lasers need to be beams or some kind, only use those pulses on a geddon.
Sort your tank first then fit whatever guns you can after that.
