They get stuck for a minute if using bastion (plus another minute weapons timer after bastion ends) and if they are not using a bastion there is usually not a lot of point bringing one over a pirate BS hull. Well perhaps Golem for it's painter bonus if one has dire need for painters. Ewar immunity, tractor beam room for selective looting or grabbing mission items, being generally fittable for cheaper as there is really no reason to go with DS/faction tank over T2 are a few things that come to mind which would have me put them on that list.
Furthermore if the bastion timer is having you sit still any time you wouldn't already be you aren't managing your bastion cycles properly, similarly if the weapons timer gets in the way, considering BS warp speeds, it's probably because, again, you were timing bastion poorly. |

Partially agree disagree with everything said here. I like the new rattler too, although I liked it more as a passive boat. Missiles and drones both have application issues that are ignored too often. Whenever you assign sentries you overkill a lot more then guns on smaller targets, and deal with DPS loss due to the 1 second response time. One cycle is a big deal to me, being able to split your dps about 4 ways is too, or be able to move while you fire. Missiles suffer a lot from defenders MUCH more imho then most people seem to recognize, defenders trigger per volley too so splitting dps will make you cry. I cant get my bearing on defenders sometimes I do 25% dps other times full. Then you have instant dps from drones and delayed from missiles, overkill happens easily. Add to that painter juggling, don't get me wrong though. RS does do a lot of damage but it wouldn't surprise me if it lost 15-20% of dps (compared to guns) just to how the weapon-systems work. And it takes a lot more, work. |

For missions: Machariel, the rest is crap. Tengu is okayish since it doesn't warp much slower and still got decent dps/velocity to blitz missions. (Like 6.5 AU/s against 5.2 AU/s) "I honestly thought I was in lowsec"

I disagree with opinions that support ship "A" is best and all the rest follow, for the majority of players. I agree with them, if this argument is suggested for each player individually. Each player using the same ship with exactly the same fit running the same missions will perform differently, time wise.And do we factor in cost & aesthetics or just the ones that have the highest applicable dps in EFT and add them to the list accordingly? The latter would be the easy step.
Taking into account the former, i personally wouldn't fly the SNI even if it was the highest dps mission running ship with that kind of looks.On the other hand Machariel looks amazing & has that so very important warp speed bonus that now makes all the difference in mission running. But I personally don't like turrets (for PvE) & I find the damn thing a little too big for my taste. I consider these, possibly strange sounding, personal quirks an important factor to my decision.
To make a long story short, during the years I have been running missions I ended up liking missiles instead of turrets, cruises instead of torps and heavy drones instead of sentries. Factoring in aesthetics & cost I ended up, quite easily I might add after the changes, to the Fleet Typhoon. I can't praise that ship high enough. Modifying the fit to accommodate more warp speed for obvious reasons I can personally submit the TFI as the ship I consider the highest dps ship (for me). All this taking into account the feeling I get while flying this ship. I perform better (and feel better) running missions with the TFI rather than any other worthy candidate ship for the same application (L4 Missions).
For someone else it could be the Mach or the Vindi, Rattle, RNI and so on. And that would be perfectly ok with me, as long as you are using a proper fit. At the end, the real differences, time wise, are so small that the most important factor besides a very good dps (which all these ships have) is aesthetics & cost and then which ship is the one that will make you finish this mission 1 or 2 minutes faster. The new looks of the Typhoon hulls are-áamazing!! It's like flying-áa Battlestar Galactica with a Tengu bow :)

That's ok, each player can judge the looks any way he sees fit. Where some see a giant trash can i see an impressive combination of a battleship-sized Tengu Dissolution Sequencer with a Battlestar Galactica.

I'm not a big fan of best ship above all philosophy either. EvE has enough variables for different ships to have different values. The original posters questions s too general to answer correctly aside from literally. So that's why I figured I'd answer with Kronos, it has the highest dps, although one could say vindicator but lets stick with the assumption you want to fly it more then once in a blue moon. That said I would fly it with a HAC ready for smaller lvl 4 missions. IF the question would've been "most all round lvl4 mission boat?" then the answer would've been the Mach. But even then I wouldn't take it into Amarr space and it isn't SP friendly either in the least. IT is indeed very subjective, and a question that keeps coming back in this format of "which is best".
Most truthful answer out there; pick a flavour and train to fly them all while steering clear of what is commonly acknowledged to be bad, like Rails often tend to be suboptimal, things like that |

You don't use heavy drones in a slow BS (unless you're an idiot), you use them in a MWD ishtar, bringing damage application perfectly in line with paper dps. If you're sending heavy drones further away than 10km, you're doing it wrong. Might as well argue that an assault frigate is worse for level 4s compared to a mach. |

I am still wondering how you can ask questions like this after 5 days?
I am still wondering how you think the character being posted with has anything to do with anything. And what has your 5 days old character to do with dps on ships? What is your point of your inquery? Why do you need to hide behind another entity? How can you have any opinion after 5 days? Have you done your tutorials yet?
Do you even know what an alt is? Reporting for trolling since you obviously have nothing to contribute to the discussion. Not everyone wants to use their main on the forums, and there are a thousand valid reasons for not wanting to. |

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay. Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!
The Rules: 4. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.
5. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.
I also want to apologise, as it appears I also removed a valid post made by Taegessia in error. To reflect that, I left the posts reacting to it in the thread, something I normally would not do as it breaks thread consistency.

@Ireland, Your tireless crusade for the Rattlesnake and it's Gurista kin is valiant. I give you that much, but your MWD fit snake isn't nearly as fast as my mach, and that's not even accounting for the agility and warp speed disparity since you must fit rigors or the fact that you'll be parked to drop sentries if you don't operate with the gecko all the time (I can think of a few missions where leaving the gecko out for triggers would be unwise).
TL;DR: Yes, the rattlesnake is good, has fantastic paper dps, even applies much of it, but the "I sit here and melt stuff," niche isn't what you want to optomize your shekels per hour. I'm happy for you if you like your insect model and missiles/drones, but the mach isn't old news, it's still the best comgination of speed and gank you can get for security mission whoring.
You enter room and drop sentries or gecko based on NPC range.
Mop them up and when on the last 4 mobs or so bust out the gecko and travel at 855 m/s to the gate. Or if they are still at long range just pop with the missiels while you move. (( Still putting out 831 DPS with no drones ))
You seem to think that the ship either has to fight or move but not both. You're wrong on that. |

The more and more I see these videos. The more I'm starting to see it your way. The machariel seems to be becoming the only ship that competes with the RS based on completion times that I know form someone that uses it. The Mach seems to excel in dealing with cruisers and frigs (and small/far away missions), but in a mission with a decent amount of BS and with ships engaging from further then 50km the RS wins out. All these completion times and watching ships pop on a kronos make me feel like my rattler (although lots of work and SP intensive) does a lot better. MY last completion time for Angel Blockade was 15 min, and Im close but not maxed out on damage skills and don't use skill implants. Can't wait to fly something different and compare, since I don't get a look into the character sheet of whomever posts these vids. And a gunboat really needs maxed skills, since the final little skills make a huge difference in the area of a 100dps so hard to use these vids for an honest comparison with so little additional information.
P.S. The kronos I have ready in pyfa is going to do between 1625 and 1566 dps, only bling being 2 fed navy mag stabs. |

In terms of aesthetics, the Raven class hulls (sans the Golem, in my opinion) are beautiful. They *do* look like birds of prey. Great lines. They sometimes remind me of the Klingon hulls from the classic Star Trek films, and in some cases the very early Romulan vessels of the classic TV series. |

I love the new Phoon, too. Cruisephoon is a decent mission boat. I'd quit the game if I had to stare at the Mach's ugly arse all day. |
