But I think it could work. I'm just wondering if you guys can see this or similar fits actually getting some use. Yes the oversized AB will make it hard as hell to steer and downgrades you to normal light rather than rapid light missiles but it has decent tank, speed and sig along with 4 Ewar modules and won't need much of the maneuverability that is lost. It is not quite cap stable under the AB but changing out the Trimark with a third Cap rig would accomplish that. Still lots of CPU left too so there's no danger with switching up the Mids for most other ewar. Then with the drones you could go with Jammers, or maybe web drones or even Hobs. I was even thinking of filling the launchers with auto targeting missiles for both drone defense and limiting distractions from the Ewar purpose since you're really not being counted on for damage anyway..

Also, a Minnie ship will usually prefer to keep others are range whether in solo or gang, due to relatively low base EHP, which you might think you are fixing with the massive plate and oversized AB, but in reality you are only further maiming yourself, since you will be slower to move than your enemy, and slower than your own fleet... leaving you the prime target for simple elimination. Keep trying though buddy, this was a good attempt :) Yes I agree that the burst jammer was a terrible idea of mine. Replace it with another target painter or a web and the idea might still be workable though. For one thing there are many fleets that use a combination of both MWD and AB ships. Being in a middle ground would not be so bad as it's like being dual prop but with only one module. Another thing, as long as the AB is not running, long align times are not a problem, as it's only decreased due to the armor, and it you're running an armor fleet, it's the same as everyone elses, so keeping up should not really be an issue. The other modification I would likely make to my posted fit is to use the low cap meta TP and Disruptor modules to make it easier to be cap stable I understand that there is not too much reason to go to oversized AB though. A straight AB or MWD fit would likely have more resources to play with to apply either better tank or DPS, but due to slot layout and platform ability, this 'Extra' amount is very little, especially for an armor fit. The utility of having a single module work similarly to a dual prop fit can be valuable and worth looking at though, in both being able to re-position and resistant to tackle so I think it could still be a valid choice. This platform gives a cheap, and durable, option that is hard to tackle and can still apply some missile and drone dps while giving painting bonuses, and unlike the vigil, it can afford to stay within the group rather than position itself 50-100km away. So here is my modified fit. High Power 4x Light Missile Launcher II Medium power 1x 100MN Y-S8 Compact Afterburner 1x J5 Enduring Warp Disruptor 3x Parallel Enduring Target Painter Low power 1x Damage Control II 1x Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II 1x 800mm Steel Plates II 1x Reactor Control Unit II Rig Slot 1x Medium Trimark Armor Pump I 2x Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I
