Hey all,
I have recently started doing PVE missions in highsec due to some null sec turmoil. I dual box 2 toons. 1 flies Gallente Caps/BS's. The other flies virtually everything up to T3, very comfortably.
Toon 1 (CAP) has VERY high drone skills. Toon 2, not so much but I'm glad to train them.
I'm wondering if there is a good combo fit to fly in L4's for a something along the lines of this:
Toon 1: Megathron Navy Issue DPS.
Toon 2: Tengu/Proteus support?
I'd like for Toon 2 to support Toon 1 via Drone salvaging/looting/repairs. The T3 seems less than ideal for this.
What do? Thanks!

That sounds like a really fun idea. Presumably 'Toon 2' in a Tengu is more than enough to clear L4's while 'Toon 1' is out of range?
Also, is it an issue if 'Toon 2' can't get L4's on his own? I've been grinding standing on 'Toon 1' since he's my primary. I imagine that if it's possible I just need to fleet up and 'Toon 2' can access the mission by warping with primary? |

Or if Toon 2 can fly a Marauder of some flavor, then use that as your salvage platform, or perhaps put Toon 2 into a Myrmidon with tractors and logi, salvage, and combat drones.
ED: oops, ninja'd.
As to Toon 2 lacking the connections to get L4's, that's no problem. So long as Toon 1 and Toon 2 are fleeted up, Toon 1 can lead the way to the in-gate for the mission complex, and then let Toon 2 take the lead. If rewards are split, then that'll also help buff Toon 2's standings.
Roger that.
Sadly, Toon 2 is pretty far off from flying BS'. Not likely to take him that route.
So if I understand:
Toon 1: Big Drone boat. Assist drones to Toon 2. MJD out. Idle
Toon 2: Run Tengu and or Myrmidon. Fit combat drones and logi/salvage. Lol while circling L4 rats as they get wrecked by drones?
If so, I like that. Or did I misinterpret? |

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to setup this up tonight.
Is there any benefit to using the Dominix Navy Issue given my composition/plan?? I'll most likely use a Tengu on Toon 2 since he already owns one. Thanks again! |

Only it has got the bonus you need for doing this: Gallente Battleship skill bonus per level: 10% bonus to Drone Damage and Drone hitpoints 10% bonus to Drone optimal range and Drone tracking speed
Understood. I think the sources I checked are out of date because I didn't see those benefits at that value. Thanks again! |
