Hi, I have had decent success with running lvl2s in a Slasher and lvl3s in a Rupture, though I have now switched to a Cyclone for the level 3s, because Blockade, Space Telescope and efficiency/fun. My question: is using a BC in level 4s practicable? I would be using eve survival so would decline blockade or missions where you get dropped right on the swarm and mostly fighting Guristas, which is nice. Will I get pointed and blown up?
I've 11m SP and running T1 Heavy missiles/2x720mm on a T2 active shield tank, two hardeners atm. T1 drones.
Any thoughts welcome. |

I know the command BCs, such as the Claymore and Sleipnir can do them, however for T1 I am not sure.

the drake used to be able to do them but those days are kinda gone, its nor more efficient, as for the cyclone, i think you are much better of upgrading to a bs for clear spead and tank, cause it will take you a long time to clear some pockets and you might not survive them due to sig radius of bcs. If you do go out and do them share your experience with us :D but i suggest upgrade, better safe then sorry :D |

I think, it might be doable. It will be tough and take some time and therefore be a challenge. But it could be doable.
As you already said, you should look at eve survival and pay attention for triggers. Also try to kill elite frigates asap. You should also try to run a afterburner as long as possible for some kind of speed tanking.
Fly safe and have fun. |

it depends why you run missions. if its for isk, standings or similar. i think youre better off staying with lv3
a hurricane can run lv4 probably but i would imagine it will be slow and ultimately less efficient than a lv3. stick with lv3 and train up battleship or t2 ship skills
if youre just doing it for the hell of it- go for it- i heard some lv4 can be done in a t2 frig |

Just don't do it.
But if you feel you must, I don't think you can do much better than this:
[Cyclone, lol4s] Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II Missile Guidance Enhancer II Missile Guidance Enhancer II
Large Shield Booster II Adaptive Invulnerability Field II EM Ward Amplifier II 10MN Monopropellant Enduring Afterburner Large Cap Battery II
Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Mjolnir Heavy Assault Missile Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Mjolnir Heavy Assault Missile Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Mjolnir Heavy Assault Missile Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Mjolnir Heavy Assault Missile Heavy Assault Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Mjolnir Heavy Assault Missile Shield Command Burst II, Active Shielding Charge [empty high slot]
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
Damage is still anemic for L4s (373). Tank is barely adequate (295 uniform). Range is pretty meh (31.5). It would complete some -- maybe even most -- L4s but it would take forever. If you want to fly a Cyclone, stick to L3s. If you want to do L4s in a Minmatar missile ship then get a Typhoon. |

Thank you all for the comments
My exact fit is:
BCU BCU BCU MGE DCU II
LSB II Named ratspecific hardener Named rat specific hardener Shield boost amp I (training Shield Man V now) YS 10mn AB
Arbalest Heavy Missile, Scourge x5 720mm arty x2, TSab
EM screen Thermal screen Kinetic screen
Obviously I'm going for range (59k) over the HAM rate of fire etc
The HAM fit implies having the ability to run the LSB constantly with both hardeners AND the AB.
I would not be able to maintain that with mine, I pulse it obviously
I am skilling towards Typhoon but not there yet, nor do I have enough isk to do it right yet. |

maybe it could function, but the 373 dps from zhilia reminds me on my old days with the drake in lvl 4. you will not have fun. time to complete is sooooo meh

Sure you could but it be a pain some missions you could blitz and other you wouldn't be able to do because you dont have enough dps other because lack of tank. And it'll be slow going you would make more isk/lp just doing 3's really fast.
I've done it with a passive drake which can fit a better tank then most BS but the dps just sucks, with 2 people its not bad.
I would suggest you wait till you can fly a BS, even with a BS it'll be rough going till you got all yer support/weapon skills up ...

^This. i tried a complete shield passive Cyclone (MWD, DC, 4 Large Extenders and 3 Shield Extender rigs). tank was enough for 11 nps BS with support but it takes a lot of time to finish L4 mission.

yea, interceptors are best for Recon and Cargo Delivery. and you can use nothing bigger than a frg for agent and team burners.
