Hi all. I am finding it hard to do level 3 missions in Minmatar battle cruisers. I have tried both the Hurricane & the cyclone, with passive & active tanks. I have set up for high DPS & low DPS, & more tank. My skills are not awful. I have everything I need at level 4 & some at 5. However I'm still finding it hard. I am running Brutor Tribe missions.
Does anyone have any advice or what I'm doing wrong or a few setups you are willing to share. I have T2 tank & best named weapons. I use T2 drones. I am willing to train other races if this is the case.
People were not lying when they said Minmatar is hard mode. |

The cyclone has a higher scan ressolution than the drake, so damage application should be even better. Base speed is higher too for easy kiting. Double the drone bandwith is nice too. Drake is easy mode for level 3 missions, is the cyclone that much worse?
What I am finding hard is the tanking. From what you have typed, maybe I am to close. I am finding atry takes ages. AC's are to close. I have tried HAMS too. I need to do range with missiles. |

- Use AC's, the arty are just take too long, and you might waste DPS by alpha-ing a rat with too much damage.
- Make sure you use the proper tanking resists for the mission type you are using. Bring a set to cover all damage profiles to your mission hub and swap as needed.
- Have your drones kill frigs, and your AC's kill larger.
- Make sure you are moving! Staying still will lower your speed tank, and thus make you take more damage.
- You dont need to be cap stable. Stronger burst of reps is better than constant low-healing reps.
- Make sure you Rig your ship. Rigs start to become handy for level 3 missions and above, but are useless for levels 1 and 2.
Do the above, and you should be able to run those missions fine.
Otherwise, please let us know your fit for a couple of your ships, and we can go into details with suggestions.
I have been using a passive shield Hurricane, do you advise armor?
