What do you folks think about possibly using the Curse for mission running?
With Recon V, and a 36km nos range, coupled with maxed out T2 drone skills it should be a beast for completing Level 1-2 missions and most Level 3 missions.
Something like:
Highs
4x 'Arbalast' Heavy Missile Launchers
1x Medium Diminishing Nos
Meds
1x 10mn Afterburner II
2x Balmer Tracking Disruptors
2x Cap Recharger II
Lows
1x 800 Rolled Tungeston Plate
1x EANM2
1x Medium Armor Repairer II
1x BCS II
Thoughts?

THAT was a quality episode.
@ the OP: Curse is not a great PvE platform.

You'll be spending months on em lvl 1-2 missions trying to pay off that curse. Apart from having a lil fun, don't bother, there's plenty of ships that can do lvl 1-3s better, faster and cheaper.

sometimes when im bored, and cant find any targets in 0.0, ill try ratting a multi BS spawn in my pvp curse. it *CAN* kill the BSes, but....its just painful.
just cause it can, does not mean it should.

Running missions in a Curse is bad for your e-peen.
That said, I actually did some lvl3s recently in my Curse just for the hell of it. 
Had to use 2x co-proc IIs in the lows to make it all work. 
Anyway, launchers, shield tank, a couple bcu... also, large cap battery II does wonders for cap recharge on cruisers.
It's overkill though. Be a man and use a frig (I suggest Ishkur  ).

I have a special 0.0 ratting curse.
Shieldtank, max dps drone combination and 4 HAM launchers + 3 BCUs. Does more dps than a drake actually. And has with MWD + 2 housing rigs about the same mobility as an assault frigate.
Would never use it for missions though. ESPECIALLY not with EW - when you have 5-10 ships shooting at you 2 TDs are pretty meaningless.

In all honesty, is there any T2 Cruiser that -cant- handle any lvl 1, 2, or 3 mis?

mmhh interesting fitting anyway ;)
however, you can do every single lvl3 mission with a curse, when you want to (  )
it may take some time.
high:
3 heavy missile launcher (arbalast, t2, faction)
2 med-nos (e50, dimishing, faction)
med:
1 ab 10mn (t2, faction)
3 tracking disruptors (balmer)
1 cr (t2)
low:
1 med armor (t2 or faction)
1 dmgcontrol (t2)
1 thermic hardener (t2 faction)
1 eanm (t2 or faction)
drones: 5med, 5 small

Curse
4x 'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher or T2
Medium Diminishing Power System Drain I to keep the active hards running without PDS IIs
3x Large Shield Extender II
Photon Scattering Field II
Heat Dissipation Field II
(Might need to switch some to passives if CPU is tight since the SPR nerf)
Invulnerability Field II
4x Shield Power Relay II or Beta (whatever fits)
Rigs : Core Defence Field Purger II \ Core Defence Field Purger II \
5x Hammerhead II
10935 shield, 155.39/s, E/T/K/Ex=66/73/73/89
BUT WHYYYYYY?
Pretty much equal to a Drake in damage, little less tank TBH. Should be able to take lvl4s though it'll take forever, and DAMN it's expensive.

yea i would go with an assault frig instead. or a hac. nos isnt very effective against npcs.
pretty much any cruiser is a beast for level 1-2s.

Well, nos certainly doesn't cripple an NPC ship like it would a player ship that's for sure.. but what it does do is give you a lot of cap... (we all know NPCs cheat :p)
I decided to use my curse for mission running a while back but it was previously set up as a speed tank (2 polycarbon rigs) so I decided to stay with that and see what I could do.
Suprisingly enough it works really well for the most part.
3xNos 2xHMLauncher.
10mn AB II Cap booster(800chrg) SH-Boost Amp, EM+Therm Shield Hardeners, M-Shield Booster II.
2xOverdrive 2xI-stab
7x T2 Medium Drones (2 spare)
As you might expect this can make mission running certain Lvl 3s and above rather... interesting but missions bore me to tears anyway and I prefer a challenge which for some missions it really can be... but for others tis the same old; *pop* *pop* *pop* *pop* *yawn* *pop* *pop*
As for Lvl 4 missions makes for an excellent rabbit can run around and make all the NPc's dizzy while your DPS boat just ruins everything
