Time to make some isk to pay for faction L4 mission setup and t2 pvp. Whats boat does the most L3 damage while being able to tank sufficiently? I dont believe it is worthwhile in L3s to loot with a different ship since I can typically loot big ships with one tractor in the time it takes to finish.
Currently I use a megathron with 250mm rails and a tractor in the highs. AB, webber and 2 cap chargers in the mids. Lows consist of Large rep, resists (up to 4 active hardeners and damage control), speed (nanos if no resists required) and up to 3 damage mods. All best named and t2.
This setup is fast and the tank is sufficient, but I want to go faster. I found large guns dont work well, even though they track as fast as my 250s with megathron skill bonus their resolution is too big. I cant see a battlecruiser (save command ship) being faster with the med guns bonus since they cant fit as many guns or as many damage mods. I am also not sure if a HAC could outdamage my mega since again it cant fit as many guns or damage mods.
Anyone have a faster L3 mission setup?

Passive shield-tanked ferox works great. For most missions, you could sit in the middle of the rats for an hour with no problem, so if you lose connect/ phone rings/ need urgent bathroom break, you keep your ship.
Also, with heavy missiles on most of the slots it's a no-brainer.
My mission Ferox has 12k shields, just to give you an idea.

A hac may be faster since it is a faster ship, more agile and the med guns will hit smaller targets more often. That should even out on the "lower" dmg mod.

Cerb, 15-20mins angel extrav, 20-25mins gurista extrav, leave the loot, Tank holds at 100% shield aggro'in the whole lvl of any lvl3 mission at 40-50% cap, Gisti a type small SB, DG invuln gisti b photon, DG amp, sensor booster, or gistii kin and therm hardeners if a gurista mission, T2 heavys, and 4 bcu.

I assume you want to just smash through the missions with little regard for the loot. I've never used a missile boat so they may be faster but here is what I do.
I use a Dominix fitted with *gasp* beam lasers (yes you heard right, beams on a domi).
Setup:
2 x Mega Modulated Energy Beam I
1 x Dual Modulated Heavy Energy Beam I
2 x Heavy Beam Laser II
1 x Drone Link Augmentor I
4 x Eutectic I Capacitor Charge Array
1 x Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron (target painter)
1 x Large Armor Repairer II
1 x Armor Explosive Hardener II
1 x Armor Kinetic Hardener II
1 x Armor Thermic Hardener II
1 x Armor EM Hardener II
1 x Type-D Power Core Modification: Capacitor Power Relay
1 x True Sansha Capacitor Power Relay
Drone bay full of Berserker I's
Main reasoning for the beams is not having to arse about with ammo. Also swapping the crystals to multifreq for the juicy structures makes short work of them. I can blast through level 3's ver quickly in this setup. The drones pretty much pwn everything with the turrets beating on the crusiers and battlecruisers very well. Target painter makes those guys nice and fat for my large lasers :)

If you want to tear through lvl 3s the fastest the best is a HAC.
If you cant fly a HAC then get a Ferox with rails and an active tank. You have to have good skills and use a T@ booster.
This is what I used - and it was extremely fast and i never had to warp out.
5 250s(antimatter)
2 heavy missiles
1 T2 booster
1 T2 large extender(the extender is important it gives you a damage buffer for those first few minutes before you have killed much.)
1 AB
2 Invuln(or faction specific) hardeners
for the lows use what ever combo of PDU you need.
5 light drones(Important)
Wherever you went - here you are.
