My setup is for speed running lvl4's
H:6 mega modulated pulse energy beams, 2 Long range Faction Smartbombs (8km or 10km)
M:1 t2 ab, 3 best cap rechargers
L:2 t2 large reps, 2 relay and 3 active hardners.
Just charge in, aggro all and smartbomb away. Some lvl4's such as smuggler interception you can instablast all the rats as soon as you warp in. Other tough missions, such as ritualist raids lvl4, become so easy and completable in 5-10mins

that's not your average setup -1.5 billion just for the smart bombs. Lord which lvl4 missions do you run with this setup? It seems like a good approach, but how much damage can that setup take when you aggro everything?
If cost is an issue, then a couple of 7.5k's is fine. The question being asked is how I tank everything - Dual armour reps that run forever with cap to spare and the smartbombs instablast most rats so you get less damage done on you. Those who have seen me run complex's or see me run missions could not beleive it.
Enemies abound is a different case - You warp in, smartbomb the inital spawn then aggro half the rats to smartbomb then the other half. But in many missions such as vengence or ritualist raids, you can tank a full aggro on a dual rep tank with smarts. And yes, you gotta shoot the angels with your mega modulated pulse in ritualist raids or your tank WILL fail - CCP adding angel rats into a Blood raider mission is never the best :)

I see few close-range setups with pulses. But how do you deal with BSs that orbit you at the 50km? Do remote sensor dampeners work on NPCs and bring them closer?
Mega modulated pulse + infared crystals cover all Amarr Navy agent BS's in optimal. I usually fire a burst of my afterburner to allow my drone in range as well.

Lord, would you say your setup is par with a t2 cruise raven for time to completion? Assuming you get your standard Amarr Sansha/Blood/Gurista or Sansha/Blood/Minmatar draw.
I'm interested as I'm currently trying to pick a battleship to specialize in for an alt. But it would be nice to not have the cookie cutter Raven setup, if possible, even if I needed a ton of Gunnery sp.
I've been running Lord's setup and it is very quick. Some missions it's incredibly fast - popping all frigates in ~2 smartbomb pulses. For those I would say it's on par with a Raven...one thing for sure is it's a lot more fun to run the Apoc on missions compared to the Raven.
If you use your afterburner with smartbombs to catch the enemies just out of range, it is the fastest lvl4 running machine ever :) I dont know of any other setup that is able to complete some lvl4's in seconds :)
