I shall file this under 'U' and 'I' for 'Useful' and 'Interesting' :)

Yes, I learnt the lesson about only using cheap drones for Burners...painfully, lol 
OTOH, unloading nearly 2m LPs split between 2 characters (even dumping onto sell orders) is a surprisingly rewarding experience!

I agree, the Guristas one is worthless. The Angel Base one, though, is trivial (especially if you replace a mag stab on the Vigilant with another medium repper), and the Serpentis one - although challenging - is actually quite straightforward. But I understand your reticence, especially compared with the ease of doing the Burner Team missions

Have you tried dropping the TP? I run with three MGCs (unscripted), and it's a fair bit less micro-managy. Range scripts not required. Lighter on cap use too :)

I did use to run with the old setup (i.e., with a TP), but just switched to three unscripted MGCs when I got fed up with fiddling with the painter - in terms of damage application, I suspect (but alas can't prove) that there might even be a small increase with a TP-less setup.
The MGCs don't require the range scripts, as with skills + the Garmur's bonus + whatever implants you may have, faction rockets range is around 26km, which is more than enough for all the Team Burners (except perhaps the Burst reppers, whose orbits are a little erratic). Running unscripted also has the happy benefit of allowing the MGC's other bonuses to be applied, too!
No proper scientific testing done, though :)

No proper scientific testing done, though :) The only thing I found is that your missile range really takes a hit. With a range implant, this is somewhat mitigated - but you're still relegated to Javelin rockets against the Jaguar. For me, as I'm running without missile implants this is kind of a deal killer. What I have found is this: Substituting a Faction BCS and dropping the co-processor for a T2 MGE delivers about 20-30% more DPS when combined with a TP. I was previously getting hits in the 200-210 range and with this new setup it's jumped to 260-270 per volley. It's easily taken several minutes off completing Team Burners.
I only really use Mjolnir Javelins against the Bursts - against the Jaguar itself, Navy Scourges all the way.
I think the extra damage you are seeing, as you say, comes more from the Faction BCU and MGE rather than the TP. But I'm very probably wrong on this.
Quote:So one thing you need to remember is that MGCs are exactly like Tracking comps and like any other module when it comes to stacking penalties.
I never have the stacking penalties out of mind, ever!  The thing was, though, I remember trying the Team Garmur fit before fiddling with it - and the TP seemed to (annoyingly) cap the fit out. Switched it for the 3rd MGC and I seemed to get much the same result. Bear in mind that was a while ago and my memory is a little hazy.
Anyway, it's all grist to the mill. Thanks!

No annoying drones to micromanage, probably better tank too
