if i use an impel with skills ald mods all put towards tanking, is it enough for lv 4 missions? i can tank a triple BS spawn in it okay but i havent started with the Lv 4's yet
high - tractor beam once i get the skill
med- med named cap injector
low - med rep, dmg control, rcu, 4 50% hardners
once i get the tractor beam i think the basic rcu is required to fit everything

I'm just confused... So he's tried this in lvl III's apparently. Fine. Fine. But how on earth do you actually kill the rats?
And to answer your question... No, an impel cannot tank a lvl IV. Hell some faction BS's have trouble tanking some lvl IV's.
Wth are you doing anyways? Tanking for your friend in the battleship and picking up the loot at the same time?

WITH MY MAIN 
the resists on the thing are excellent, and with transport ships at level 4 or 5 the armor rep will go pretty fast. the cap injector is more then enough to keep it going indefinitely, and the massive hold will be good for both gathering loot and holdng cap boosters. it's just a pity i can't salvage AND tractor at the same time.

It's more a pity that "YOUR MAIN" can't tank a lvl III so instead you're doing it with your "ALT HAULER".
Go ahead and try because I'm not going to. Just a word of advice, I wouldn't double task in a lvl IV anyways. Command ships often fall to lvl IV's if something goes wrong. And like I said before, NO you're uber impel will not be able to tank a lvl IV.

You can make fun of him, but tbh.. its quite a good idea for a cheap tank.. I guess its quite a nice tanker ( comparable to command ships really ).
you got 7 lows, resistance bonus's and a bonus for repairs.. leme quickfit a bit :p
Just toying around a bit, will try it more later on.. but for now its comparable to my absolution with t2 hardeners ( not really a answer to the ops question sorry :p will try and do that tomorrow )
Anti guristas fit ( and thats with the amarr t2 thermic armor hole )

i never said i was trying it with lv 3 missions. i said it could tank a triple bs spawn. not because i actually npc that way, i was just experimenting with it last night.
even if it cant tank lv 4's solo it can help split the dps so my main can tank the rest.
lanu, the setup you posted isnt going to run for a very long time. a medium cap booster is needed to sustain the medium rep indefinitely, i think.

Well, given that he's not planning to use it to tank level 3s, I'd reckon his main already is tanking the level 3s. 
Anyway, the Impel *can* tank level 4s, but you have to set it up right to do so. Fitting the right hardeners is important and you have to really, really pay attention to what its doing and how much aggro it has. It only has a medium armour repairer. Logistics drones will be your friend, as in, your main best carry some.
Primarily aim your ship setup to do the tanking, see if you can find out a way of getting the right modules that don't use that much grid. COSMOS medium armour repairers are good in that respect. If you really can't avoid using a grid mod, see if you can get a PDU instead.
It's an idea I've toyed with for a while, but ultimately dropped because running two accounts in the same mission is just too much of a hassle. Alt-tabbing to and fro means I lose the concentration needed. Instead I started training up my alts leadership skills but I moved to 0.0 before that finished.

logistics drones are an excellent idea, thanks
i can run 2 clients just fine in missions. for the lv 3's i just ran through them in a ferox they were not hard. they aren't the issue.

kk, I will shut up about using it to tank lvl IV's solo. Just an FYI again though, you're not going to find an easy way to split the dps in a lvl IV. They aggro whoever shoots or whoever warps in first (depends on the mission). You may have a secondary spawn target your other character, but its a 50% chance. Be careful, multitasking in lvl IV's is how you die even if your comp can handle it.
