I have been told by very reliable sources that these ships are doing lvl 4 missions.
including Angel extravaganza.
and one had any results with these, or seen good results?
Thanks nice sig, sadly it's too big. 400x120@24000 bytes Maximum. -Capsicum |

i've been able to solo all lvl4s in an absolution, even things like In the Midst of Deadspace.
thats also with the RoF bug its had which has meant a loss of 35-40% dps thats gonna get fixed in thursdays patch.
on my other character i've been using a sleipnir, it doesn't tank as well as the absolution does and struggles on the tougher missions but can cope with most. -

hi - 6 x heavy beam 1 med nos med - ab, webber, cap recharger low - med rep, 1/2 active hardeners(rat specific), 1 energised adaptive, 1/2 heat sink, 2 cprs
all mods should obviously be tech2 or faction if u can afford them.

Edited by: Arakasai on 28/02/2006 20:39:38 I did them in a Ferox (Caldari Battle Cruiser), I could not complete Vengance solo, I lacked the damage output. I have done Gurista Extravaganza in it, not Angel though ... it took a long time solo :) I cannot discuss a Command Ship, but I imagine it would be much easier since they are tougher versions of the Battle Cruiser :)
High ---- 5x Arb Heavy Launcher 2x 250mm Prototype Rail
Mid --- 2x Shield Hardener Tech II (NPX Specific) 3x Large Shield Extender II
Low --- 4x Shield Power Relay
On the low slots, I switch in BCUs and/or PDUs on the easier Level 4 Missions. I would love to give this mission a go in the Vulture. Although it would probably clear quicker in a Nighthawk.

I have been using a Nighthawk for lvl4's. I havent had a chance to try it on some of the newer missions yet but has no problems with the missions i have run so far (Angel Extra included).
A bit more damage output may be nice but just found i can load up all 6 heavy launchers with the higher damage heavy missiles (ie Scourge Fury for example) without gimping my tank ... although with the exception of an invul field i have no reliance on cap so the cap penality doesnt really affect me

dear god, thats alot of cap mods! do you really need that much cap?
my zealot runs this for level 4's and can solo all except Extrav's:
4x Heavy Pulse II 1x Auto targetter (passive) 1x 10mnAB II 1x Webber 1x Cap Recharger II 1x Med Rep II 1x Energized Thermic II 2x Energized Adaptive II 2x Heatsink II 1x Relay
*For drone missions switch a heatsink for a relay and a cap recharger for another webber.
Runs forever.
With my new fraction setup I my lowest resist is EM at 80.
For Absolution I would go for this:
6x Heavy Beam II
2x Webber 1x Cap Recharger II
1x Med Rep II 1x Energized Thermic II 2x Energized Adaptive II 2x Heatsink II 1x Relay
Runs forever and double webb means you can hit anything. An AB on a command ship is just dumb, ITS FAT AND SLOW so just tank it. __________________________________________________________

I don't really understand why one would use beams when he could be using pulses, but that aside I'm glad to see the absolution is as hot as it looked.
The gallente one with 7 blasters looks utterly *****ing also :) -------------------------------------------- "A plan is just a list of things that don't happen." -- Parker, _The Way of the Gun_

Range, I suspect. The Heavy Pulse only reaches 24km with Radio, but Heavy Beams can hit 60km with Aurora. Also Gleam has the same Gross damage as Conflagration, but for a lower tracking penalty.
Harry Voyager
Addendum: mrg29: What sort of tank are you using on that Sleipnir? I'm interested, because I've recently gotten one, and would like to try lvl 4s in it.

correct on the beams v pulses , as said above the speed of the absolution isn't great so that means it takes alot of time to keep range on most cruisers and BS so u need the extra range beams give.
the comment on cap mods made above - i was using one less cpr previously but after trying out the ship on test server after the RoF fix has been applied, the much quicker RoF eats cap quicker so i have been using an extra cap mod.
i haven't had the sleipnir that long harry and atm am using a large gist sb, shield amp and a inv field. the bonus u get from ship to boosters means this does around 440 hps per 3.2 sec cyle for 94 cap.

You using 3x Invul II's, or do you have an AB in there?
I've noticed that a third invul only ads about 3% to my resists, but I can fit a second shield boost amp, and get another 26% to my shield boost. How would that affect things?

i'm only using 1 inv field normally.
i tend to use 720s at 40-50k so manage to avoid taking too many hits so dont need a stronger tank. -

Ah, I think I see now. You're using double webs in the two mids then?
The rig I'm thinking of is 1x L Gisti X Type, 2x Invul, and 2xShield Boost Amps. I get 606 shield every 3.2 seconds sustainable, though my lowest resist is Kinetic at 70%.

For anti-inty, I'd be relying pretty much entirely on my drones. Still, I've got high drone skills.
using a tracking comp and normally a ab in other 2 meds, i can pick off most inties before they get close, any that do get close i rely on 4 tech2 hammerheads.
i'm still playing around with setups and haven't found one i really like. i would like to use ACs but speed of ship is then a problem i think.
i always seem to be one med slot short for the setup i would like. -

Thats not how it works :) you're looking at the % resist that goes up 3 points
going from resist 90% to resist 95% means you get half the damage you did before (you now get 5% instead of 10%).
So, you can choose: get 30% less damage (invuln) or repair 30% faster (amp)... your choice
