Actually the Brutix isn't that bad.
I fly L2/L3 missions in one just for kicks. Course, Im also Insane. But it works pretty well. Now, I use alot of T2 stuff, so i fired up Quickfit for you and can give you the stats for T1 fit compared to T2 fit for the same ship.
One thing I've noticed over the years is, the Brutix, no matter what, has a massive cap problem. I, personally haven't been able to bypass this. (its a great rush and blow up ship though for PvP).
This is my PvE Shield Tank Setup. Its funky as hell, Fun, and totally unexpected. It works, almost as good as my Ferox. Also for the purpose of this thread, I modified relavant skills to 4, instead of my personal 5. (it would take months to get them all to 5.. so im trying to help out)
Tech 1: (I also used base guns, non-named for this)
--- Highs ---
3x 720 Artillery I
4x 250 Artillery I
--- Mediums ---
4x Large Shield Extender I
--- Lows ---
5x Shield Power Relay I
--- Drones ---
5x Medium Drones of Choice/Damage (I like Kin/Thermal)
Raw QuickFit Stats:
13,687 shields and 327/total regen
== 104.43 shield/second at Optimal
Thats not bad. Most of your damage will be done via Drones, the Arty is there for Backup/Range/Arggo/Close Range Frigs/ie Cleanup. This doesnt take many skills to fly, you could do it within 1.5mill SPs. And of course all T1 fittings. I have sucessfuly flown L2/L3 missions in it, and some low sec belt ratting. Just don't get nosed =)
It doesnt take many additional skills to make this useful. All you need are the base Shield and Arty skills (maybe a week at most?)
Now for T2 (you'll see a huge improvement, with a minimal of additional skills, cost goes through the roof though)
--- Tech 2 Fitting ---
--- High ---
2x 720mm Artillery II
5x 250mm Artillery II
--- Mediums ---
4x Large Shield Extender II
--- Lows ---
5x Shield Power Relay II
--- Rigs ---
3x Core Defense Field Purger I
--- Drones ---
5x Tech 2 Medium Drones of Choice
(Also 5x T2 Scouts works, depending on situation I'll use scouts)
-- Tank WITH Rigs ---
17287 Shields / 129 Regen
-------------------------
332.91 Regen/Second at Optimal
-- Tank WITHOUT Rigs ---
17287 Shields / 259 Regen/total
-------------------------
170.45 Regen/Second at Optimal
Now thats what I'm talking about baby! 332.91 Regen/Second at Optimal. Who needs resists when you regen that much? Seriously, i was doing a L3 Angel Extrav mission eariler with this, arrgoed 1/2 the second room, got a call, we out for an hour, came back, and was still sitting at 40% shields. (I knew I should of let the drones out... ugh)
Now for PVP, I still say a Nano, Untanked, Blastix with Mag stabs and an MWD + antimatter is good, then again I fly in fleets, so Im never called a target in a Brutix. Inertia Damps might be useful too since it turns like a Slug in a salt mine... moves like one to..
Yeah so? It has bonuses to Armor Tank and Hybrids? And? Who says you have to fly that? This works, and Works well.
