Well I am planning to run lvl 3 missions with my cyclone.
Any suggestions for a set up please?
I am bad at set ups and appreciate all help :)
I am currently using:
High slots:
5 * 720mm gallium I cannon
3 * Heavy missile launcher I
Med slots:
1 * Medium clarity ward booster I
1 * Shield boost amplifier I
3 * Barton reactor capacitor recharger I
Low slots.
3 * Power diagnostic system I (Needed for powergrid)
1 * Gyrostabiliser I
I may get alot of it to tech 2 since im training my skills up to do that now :)
Would this have a chance at level 4 missions? Or is battle ship a must?
any suggestions and inputs are kindly appreciated :P

I'm not really a cyclone specialist (actually can't remember the time I flew one) but I'd change the mids:
1 x l sb
1 x large extender
3 x specific hardeners
looking at your setup you might need to change some other stuff to fit. maybe some assault launchers instead of heavies if u can't fit it all, they are nice for taking down the frigs while the artillery takes care of the cruisers and battlecruisters.
I'm a reversed paranoid schizophrenic.
I have voices in my head I just think I don't hear them! |

I am currently using:
1. Replace Cap Rechargers with active hardeners according to rat damage.
2. Train Enigneering and Advanced Weapons Upgrades and replace 1-2 PDUs with Gyros.
3. If fitting is a problem, replace heavy launchers with (light) assault launchers. Missiles should be used mostly for frig splatting, as arties can't track them when they orbit you.
4. Consider Hurricane if you already have good armor skills.

Large Shield Booster. Set it to manual repeat, as you can't run it permanently. But you most likely can't fit it with your fitting skills.

I would recommend:
5x 720s, 3x heavy launchers
1x medium shield booster II, cap recharger, 3x hardeners
4x Power diagnostic
Namned/tech2 if you have/can use. Hardeners, drones and ammo according to mission/rats.
Can tank triple 0.0 BS spawns and any level 3 missions.

This is my cyclone set up:
High:
5x720mm Scouts
3xtractor beams/standard missile launchers/salvagers
medium:
Shield Booster II
2xShield Hardners
Large Shield Extender
Afterburner II
Low:
4xGyrostabilizer II
This setup requires engineering 5 and weapon upgrades 4, which doesn't take too long to get. The main concept for this setup is speed. The 4 gyros will give you a huge DPS, and you can put tractor beams in your missile hardpoint slots to make cleaning up the loot a fast process. There is a few missions that might require a warp out, but you will be making up the loss time with your DPS.

If all that can fit on the ship (powergrid restraints) Then it seems awesome.
I will try it out when I get those skills :) (about a week longer)
Thanks for all help so far. All suggestions helpful :)

Unless you have no missile skills at all, drop to 650 scouts with 3 assault launchers (even with mediocre missile skills), and you'll do more dps with just 3 gyros, and have an easier time popping the smaller ships that get under your guns. Add a PDS in that fourth slot, and you can fit a large booster II and large extender II. Your setup will never be able to fit both those. Better dps, better tank.

I've successfully used a Cyclone for deep 0.0 ratting and this is my suggested starter set-up.
Hi: 5x 720mm (prototypes give you the best bang for your buck)
3x Assault Launchers
Mid: 1x 10 MN AB II (Very useful for dodging BS fire and running from frigs/cruisers)
3x Hardeners (could use Amp + 2 Hardeners)
1x Large Shield Booster
Low: 2x Gyros
2x PDS (gives you 10% more grid and beefs up your tank)
Drones: 3x Med + 2x Light

Not sure what your adv. weapons upgrade skill is but this is what I had fitted on the Cyclone for lvl 3 mishs:
5x720's; 3xheavy launchers
Med SB II; Shield amp; 2xhardeners; 10MN AB II (help you keep range)
2xgyros II; 2xtracking enhancers II (helps hitt frigs)
Working at a + 50km range you hardly get hitt. And now that npc's don't use mwd's anymore in deadspace, i believe this will work even better |

fugimi's HummingBird II for mission running
High:
5x720mm
3xHeavy Missile Launchers
Med:
1xPithum A-Type Medium Shield Booster (u can use a medium SB II if u cant afford one)
1xShield Booster Amp
2xShield Active Hardeners
1xAB / SB amp / active hardener / target painter (whatever fit ur needs)
Low:
4xT2 PDS
Rigs:
Core Defence Operational Solidifier I (-15% SB duration worth)
2x either shield resist or projectile damage rigs (if u used pithum SB then go for dmg rigs)
my energy skills r currently on lvl 4 and 3
i can run the SB+hardeners forever without running out of cap
with a pithum SB active shield boost will be somewhere between 200 to 250 per second (including passive regen i got somwhere around 245)
if u dont have the skills for T2 PDS or u just want more dps u can use a cap battery/recharger in the midslot in order to maintain the SB forever while replacing a pds or 2 with gyro's
i had this setup on a ferox at first and when i compared the ferox to the cyclone i realised that with this setup the cyclone is ALOT better in almost every way so i trained minmatar.

I'm useing this setup in all lvl3 missions:
high:
5x 720mm
3x Assault missle launcher
med:
1x invu field
1x med shieldbooster
1x shieldboost amp
2x large extender
low:
1x damage control
3x power diagnostic system
rigslots:
no rigs
replace with t2/named whatever you can, once you have t2 in every slot you don't even need too pay atention to your tank anymore (exept in the mordus headhunters, unless you know how to not pull the entire stage)

I recommend Dropping the tractor beams/salvagers.
Make a looting destroyer instead and focus on killing when you are supposed to be killing :)

I used to run ACs on lvl 3 missions, which provides a little more excitement as long as you can afford the higher ammo costs.
5x 220mm AC
3x Heavy Launchers
1x 10MN AB II
1x Large Shield Booster II
3x Hardeners (2 main dmg type, 1 secondary)
2x Power Diagnostic Systems
1x Gyro II
1x Tracking Enhancer II
3 Medium Drones
2 Light Drones
With decent skills, you can passively tank most spawns, and they die very quickly. Fit T2 where affordable.

If you want to go for tank you could try the setup I used on my cyclone before going to claymore.
5x 720mm
3x Heavy Missile Launcher
2x Invulnerability Field
1x Large Shield Extender
1x Shield Booster Amplifier
1x Medium Shield Booster
1x Damage Control Unit
1x Gyrostabilizer
2x Power Diagnostic Unit
This setup does pritty well and can easily go to tech2.

I use my Cyclone exclusively for lvl 3 missions. My set up is as follows:
High
5x 650mm Artillery Cannons
3x Assult missle launchers
Mid
2x Shield Resistance Amps (Invul. Field, Em Ward, etc...)
1x Med Shield Booster II
1x Afterburner
1x Cap Recharger II
Low
3x Gyros
1x Core Unit
This set up is cheap and handles the missions easily. The key with the Cyclone I think (with most Minmatar anyway) is to use your speediness. I use the Afterburner to put 25 km between the NPC's any myself and blow them into the after life with my art. cannons. The missle launchers are used to keep the frigates off my back.
