My PvE setup usually looks something like this
4 250mm rail guns (coil or gauss) (I have over 700K gunnery skill points so might as well use it)
1 (or 2) heavy missile
2 (or 1) assault missile
1 Y-S8 10MN Afterburner (or webber depending on mission)
1 T2 med shield booster
1 large 'regolith' shield extender (ship has 6125 shield atm)
2 active hardeners (usually specific to enemy type)
2 Power Diagnostic Units
1 T2 Magnetic Stab
1 T2 Tracking Enhancer (or Damage Control)
For missions where there is high damage incoming (Downing the Slavers Pt.2 being the prime example) I replace the AB with an extra passive shield. I've played around with a few different modules but this config can get through any level 3 mission as long as you don't just charge in and aggro everything at once.

5x 250mm II,
1x "Arbalest" Heavy Missile Launcher, 1x Small Tractor Beam / 2x "Arbalest" Assault Launcher / 1x "Arbalest" Assault Launcher + 1x Small Tractor Beam (for an Afterburner in med slots)
2x Large Shield Extender II,
2x Invulnerability Field II,
web/target painter/whatever you want
3x Power Diagnostic II, 1x Magnetic Field Stabilizer
With my Skills I get 12009 Shield HP and a recharge rate of 556.92 seconds
12009/556.92*2.4 = 51.75hp/sec
Gun DPS: 164.5
Drone DPS: 84
Launcher DPS: 15.5 <--- Heavy Launcher
Total DPS: 264

Why are many people fitting a tank in their lows for level 3's? Speed is the most important thing here if you're making money/lp's.
Highs: 5 heavy lchr (pref tech II), 1 tractor beam, 1 rail (size depending on your missile skills)
Meds: named invul (t2 if pos), large extender II, large shield booster, 2 active hardeners.
Lows: 3 bcs, 1 damage control or whatever you need to make fitting.
With BC at IV or V you don't need an uber tank to do level III's its just a waste of time.
Damage is king here. (mind you I'd say the same about level IV's :P)

Hi my setup is fairly similar, but in the hi's I am using 5 Heav missiles and 2X med Nosferatus. My question is are the Nos useful in PVE?
thanks

Not very. I've never needed them to help break the tank of a ship, i find more weapons to be more useful. I also passive tank and so never need the added cap from Nos in PVE.

For ratting in 0.0 I use:
Highs -
5 x limos heavy launchers
1 x small tractor beam
1 x named med nos
Mids -
1 x named shield recharger
2 x T2 Large extender
2 x passive hardeners
Lows -
4 x named shield power relays
None of the 0.0 rats can break this tank even a domination commander and 2 angel saints couldn't :D. Only problem is that with my skills can't take much above a 650k battleship I need more damage  .

Purely PVE Setup:
High:
5x T2 Heavy Launchers
2x Medium Rails (changes depending on mission)
Med:
1x Active T2 Hardener (mission dependent)
4x T2 Large Shield Extender
Low:
3x Named Shield Power Relay
1x T2 PDU
13184 Shields total, recharges at 78/s
Cap recharge rate is sufficient to power the hardener nonstop for an indefinite amount of time.
Best i've come up against was the 6th gate on guristas extravaganza (4 beastly sentry guns, a raven, 6 moas, 5 frigs [including a webber]) and i never dropped below 50% shields.

Hmm, 70shield/sec peak with only 2.5mil sps? something seems off in that math or I'm not taking something else into account (like implants I suppose). If you're doing Guristas killing missions, drop the EM for a kin hardener.

The Ferox is a really good passive tanker. However in all these setups I see drones being despised.
Use the full bay of the ferox, and if you can do 5 small T2s use them without hesitation, better damage than 2 meds 1 small.
With this setup, i have two targets, one cruiser getting blown while I cycle my drones through the frigs fast. If I need to break a tank, the drones join and finish the work.

here is mine
high: 5x named 250 rail (antimatter), 2 named heavy (havoc)
med: AB-II, shield med booster-II, invull shield hardner, shield amp, named caprecharger
low: 3x pow diag-II, Mag stab-II
Drones: 5x t2 small drones
I use this to tank angel npc bs (up to 3 cherubins or seraphims. Although I do need a little help to break the tanks of these last ones).
the drones quickly kill any orbiting frigs, and everything else is easely taken care of.

Im yet to buy any power diag II's
Do they really help your tank that much?!
I can hold a passive tank against 2 800k Sansha BS's with a bit of er.. tactics, involving killing the support craft, and staying at 40km firing missiles at them with drones helping out (40km.. just outside their optimal I think, so I get less hits).
Granted that isnt using any T2 equipment at all. Hmm... I wonder what a full T2 tank would do.
2 Tech 2 hardners (em + therm) + 3 large tech 2 extenders
4 x PDU2's
Thats if it'll fit. Hmmmm damn think I may need to try that out or something.

High:
5x Advanced Limos Heavy Missile Launchers (all Kinetics usually)
1x 150mm "Scout" Railgun (antimatter)
1x Small Tractor Beam I
Medium:
2x Active Hardeners (usually 2 Invul Fields or a Therm/EM mix)
3x Large Shield Extender II's
Lows:
2x PDS
1x BCS
1x Shield Relay (+20% shield recharge, -35% Cap recharge)
Have never been below 30% shields with this setup and hell.. I've even fallen asleep doing Angel Extravaganzaz. It almost makes mission running too boring. Fondly known as the "Ladel-Tank" in my corporation and used by several members to extreme success.
As for PVP.. it works well. Battleships have been tanked for long enough to get taken out in this.
Any ideas on the cost$$$ of this setup?

My PvE setup:
HIGH:
5x 'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launchers | Best T1 Launcher ingame, can't fit T2 yet
1x 250MM T2 Railgun | Extra Damage, 12km optimal with AM
1x Tractor Beam | Why travel 20km when you don't need to ?
MID:
3x Large Shield Extender T2 | 2100 Shield * 3 * PDU bonus = 13000 Shield HP
2x Rat Specified Hardeners T2 | ^^ * 55% = Less damage & Better Tank
LOW:
1x BCU T2 | Extra Damage
2X PDU T2 | More shield etc.
1x Shield PR | You don't need your cap, so why increase shield recharge ?
Drone Bay :
5x light drones | They take care of the frigs, make sure u pack the right type
Tanked first level of a 6/10 Guristas Complex with similar setup as above, but all T1. With this I can easily tank double 1.1mill BS spawn + 3 cruisers. Triple BS spawns I might need to warp off once...

LVL3's
HI:
5xheavy launchers (named if you can afford it)
1x150mm for fastmovers (prototype gauss if you can afford it, a 125 will do)
1xtractor beam (cuts down loot-time)
MED:
3xLarge shield extenders t2, 2xSpecific hardeners
LOW:
1XBCU, 2xPDS, 1xShield power relay
I use named/ t2's for most spots. Not been hulled on a miison yet, but have had to warp out a few times before I got my engineering-skills up.
For PvP:
LVL3's
HI:
5xheavy launchers (named if you can afford it)
2xMed NOS (named if you can afford it)
MED:
3xLarge shield extenders t2, 1xInvuln ( t2/named preferable), 1xMulti ECM
LOW:
1XBCU, 1xPDS, 1xwarpstab, 1xShield power relay
Also use a mixed bag of drones. The most important thing to remember is to warp out
if you take a beating. The Ferox takes forever to warp out, so better a bit early than in your pod.

I love this ship and with the right skills it can be very deadly.
With this setup I do lvl3 but have managed to solo some of the harder lvl4s.
Hi: 5 x Limos launchers, 2 Med Nos.
Mid: 1 x T2 SB, 1 x Multi shield matrix, 2 active hards, 1 x large ext.
Lows: 2 x bcu, 2 x power diag.
Personaly i think for this ship keeping the setup as simple as possible works best.

Why do people who can use t2 everything run level 3's? I could run level 3's with 800k SP's... it seems a bit of a waste of 10+ mill sp's to do level 3's to me. I think I could pull off level 4's with my 2.5 mill sp now even.

I've got just nicely under 1 mil sp, (most relevant skills at 3, a few 4s) so T2 gear isn't an option, except in the tank.
Highs: 2x250mm CC rails, launchers to suit (generally 3 Limos heavies and 2 arbalest assaults)
Mids: 2 T2 large extenders, T2 med booster, 2 T1 active hardeners
Lows: Bad place version: 4x PDU
Not Bad place version: 2x PDU, 2x BCU
Drones: 5 lights, damage to suit
About 9800 shielding with 4 pdus, and it'll run the booster for a _very_ long time. Cheap to fit, too, with only 3 T2 parts. I bookmark and come back in a Probe, so speed or tractors for canning are unnecessary.

i think for new player
high slot 5x malkuth launcher,1x 250 mm gaus gun or coil gun.1x med nos
med slot----med shield booster t2 and 4x shield hardener
low slot----3x power diagnostic system and 1xballistic control.
you can fly all level 3 and easy level 4 alone

5x 250mm compressed coils, 2x malkuth heavy launcher
1x large c-5l booster, 1x shield boost amp, 2x rat specific hardeners, 1x invul field
4x pds
5x light drones
My skills are rubbish. BC lvl2, med hybrid lvl2, gunnery lvl4, all support gunnery skills lvl2, cap skills lvl4, missile launcher op lvl3, heavy missiles lvl1, drones lvl4.
Can solo any lvl3 I have had so far, the hardest being Spy Stash, Angel Extravaganza and Massive Attack where I sustain 1hp of armour damage.  If there are harder ones they might cause me more trouble but once I have good skills I should be able to do them all with no problems.

I use this fitting for lvl 3 missions, and it's totally overkill. I never loose more then 50% shield (ok one time at gur. extravaganza i lost 60% when 4 groups attacked me at once).
Anyway, here it is:
High-slots:
4x 250mm Railgun II (antimatter)
3x Assault missile launcher II (rat specific missiles)
Med-slots:
2x Rat specific shield hardeners
3x Large shield extender II
Low-slots:
2x Reactor control unit
2x Magnetic field stabilizer II (or tracking enhancer II, or one of each)
5x Hobgoblin drones
This rocks for lvl3's, 250mm's shreds the cruisers whil the launchers and drones pwns the frigs =) enjoy!

Yes, there is.
Ferox is an excellent passive tank, but that requires large shield extenders, which take up a lot of the powergrid. There isn't much left for rails.
But if you want some rails for a dps boost, here's my setup.
High:
5 heavy missile
3 250 Prototype Gauss
Medium:
3 Large shield extender II
2 mission-specific hardeners
Low:
4 PDU's
Note that even with the 4 PDU's, you need high skill level in both engineering and electronics to fit all this. But it is quite a beast, with better DPS than most pure-missile setups.

My setup (constantly improving) :)
high slots
5x arbalest heavy missile launchers
2x 250mm prototype gauss guns
mid slots
1x named target painter
1x tech2 large shield booster
2x large shield extender
1x tech2 capacitor recharger
low slots
3x named power diagnostics system
1x ballistic control unit
I am a relative noob 1,500,000 skill points or so.
I will keep this setup and just change everything gradually to tech two.
It's not completely a mission setup or a pvp setup, kind of a general purpose setup.
I have no problem winning level 3 missions and can defend myself if necessary from jump gate campers.
