Drop the AB or the cap mod for an f-90 and a drop gyro for a signal amp, or 2 f-90's both with tracking script and drop a gyro for a DCII.
They dont hurt till they get close so shoot the closest ones first. I use sentries in my Mach for sure. Should be able to one shot all incoming destroyers and frigs with them. On the initial wave that spawns close just use guns and hobgoblins.
Whats your cap time? Mines 3 minutes and has plenty to spare. Your gank is your tank.

That second bit is much more noticeable on a battleship than a Loki; I get the sense you're looking at a problem of scram/web frigates getting into range before you can lock them up and open fire, compounded by the fact that you've got to keep them at closer range to even attempt to lock ... and I'm not sure there's any battleship more vulnerable to webs than a Machariel, especially the way it depends on speed and signature tanking.
It does not even rely a little bit on speed or signature tanking unless that's how you build it, and the fit he posted will tank any level 4 without moving upon warp in, I can confirm that first hand.
It needs 2 anti dampeners to maintain a range of 50k throughout the mission. Most of the time it will be more than 50k.

Not really unless you are into absolute min maxing. You could shave 2 minutes off the kill time, then add 30 seconds for align time. So run the mission 10 times and you will have enough time to run it once more. Unless you salvage. Then you would have to run it about 15 times in a row to make up the money.
Also, if you aren't using anti dampening, it doesn't matter what ship you use, it wont be efficient.
