I think Zealot is the best for level 3s, but you might not have skills for it. It eats all level 3s without blinking, and its speed means shorter travel times inside the missions compared to a BC.

Isn't it annoying for you drone users to do wave missions like "the blockade"? Wont the NPC's aggro the drones in many cases? (I used a drake myself when i did lvl 3's.)

Don't know about Amarr but I fly Caldari and use a Navy Caracal. Holds up just fine and takes care of everything just fine to boot.

I watched movies on my other computer while spamming F1-F6 in my Raven during level 3s.

Ok, so i have been doing missions for a few months, will be upped onto onto level 3's in a day or two, but i am wondering what is the best and most efficient ship for me to use for the missions. I can use ammar ships, but should i use BC or a battleship? Bear in mind that i am looking for something that will earn the iskies fast so that i can better suply my main :D
thanks
-Wundabar!!!
I use a battleship. Put a pair of big guns on it for the BC, then a bunch of mediums. You'll have plenty of grid left over to fill up your high-slots AND mount an INCREDIBLE tank. :)

Thorax ftw on this one. Fitted with a 1600 plate and t2 small rails in highs rips trough every mission 
Not sure with amarr who may be better of in a bc, but I would definitely try to avoid using a bs=slow/boring, save that for lvl 4's 
I find it struggles with the Level III Rogue drone mission. There are a couple of missile spammers that just go through your tank. I haven't tried it on any of the really big ones that have a lot of missiles, but I suspect the problem will exist there as well.

My Harbringer obliterates lvl 3 missions:
Highs:
7 Beam Lasers (Best you can fit)
1 Med NOS
Mids:
4 Cap Recharger II
Lows:
2 Heatsinks
1 Explo Hardner
1 Kinetic Hardner
2 Medium Armor Rep II
3 CCC Rigs
4 Vespa Drones
I used to switch the armor hardners out, but realized I dont really need to, my cap can run infinitely, with all lasers firing, both MAR II's and both hardners running. I have 2 best named T1 lasers, and the other 5 are a slight step down so I could fit them all. It outputs decent damage, has a tank that has not required a warp out when used right, and the drones can rock anything close. You prob also have more SP than me since im only about 2 months old.

With a drake and 3 weeks of skill u can do all lvl 3 afk. U can infinite tank 2 waves of blockade, with set up like this :
7 heavy launcher ( domination are great and cheap ).
3 LSE II
3 Hardeners II
2 pds II
2 bcu II ( 2 spr II if u want to take 3 wave on blockade in the same time ).
5 light drones.
3 rig purger.
Godlike in lvl 3 as u cant be killed ( or juste maybe by 3 waves of blockade ). u can even infinite tank the last stage of angel strike 10/10.

My setup was very similar before i went to L4s, i think it was the following:
6 x heavy anode particle streams
1 x salvager
1 x tractor beam
the mids and lows i can't quite remember, but i had a webber and AB, 2 cap rechargers, and a hefty tank, but no heatsinks

my best and favorite ship for level3 running is a retribution!
yes a frigate!
2 med pulse II *multifreq
2 dual light pulse II *multifreq
small diminishing nos
------------
1nm ab II
------------
small armor rep II
EANM II
energized thermal II
heatsink II
cpu upgrade(nanomechanical i think, i ran out of cpu to use the heatsink)
just pick an enemy and basically fly at it, if its a frigate it will blow up before you get to it. if its a cruiser just orbit it and its dead soon.
on very rare occasions i have to bring my drake in, but its not often.
strategy involves taking out frigates first, then everything else. fly directly at or orbit the enemy you want to kill. not much more to it.
i didnt believe a frigate could do level 3 missions easily till i tried.. and now its my solopwnmobile for lvl3s

Hurricane, with Exp/Kin/Cap rigs:
6 scout 650, 2 heavy launchers
AB, Web, Tracking , painter
Gyro(1-2), MAR II, 3-2 specific hardeners (3 for angel), Damage Control II
Dedicated looter/salvager ship.
Had to warp from mission only when I wanted to see how I deal with 3 groups in same time (only problem was the lack of cap).
That, on a 2.1 mil SP char

Using a Drake for lvl3's, or sometimes a Hurricane for the challenge. The Drake just makes it easy...
7 Heavies (Limos)
2 x LSE, 3 x Hardeners, 1x Shield Recharger (everything t2)
4 x Shield Power Relays (everything t2)
2 x Core Defense Field Purger rig
1 x Core Defense Field Extender rig

Although this wont be possible starting tomorrow, simply to get my faction up for lvl 4 missions, I flew a fully passive drake with rigs and an immense shield recharge rate on it, and spammed FOF missiles lol. Warp in, f1, f2 etc. alt tab and watch anime or read forums, check back in a bit to reload and go again.
It wasn't all that efficient, but it practically plays itself. |

Blockade is one of the very few wave missions where waves will never, ever agro on your drones. Don't ask me why, guess it's hardcoded that way. Why it's hardcoded in this mission and not in many other missions? Who knows...

My level 3 Apocalypse (yes, it's overkill)
Highs:
7x Mega Pulse Laser I
1x Tractor Beam (for grabbing those mission-critical items)
Mids:
1x 100mn AB I
3x Cap Recharger II
Lows:
2x LAR II
3x NPC-specific hardeners (usually 2 thermal and 1 either EM or kinetic)
2x best named cap relays
Rigs:
N/A
Drones:
5x Hobgoblin I
5x Hammerhead I
Does everything without problems. The second LAR could be replaced with a heatsink if you're not worried about your tank. Megapulse hits cruisers and BCs effectively (and will do so even better after the tracking boost), and the Hammerheads chew through everything else.

I do lvl 3's in an Ishtar (the missions with loads of npc's, like the blockade, or Massive attack), and if it's a mission with less NPC's, my Enyo will suffice.

T2 fitted Prophecy (I have BC 5) with 425 autos and amour rep amount and cap recharge rigs and 5 light drones points and laughs at all lvl 3s. No cap problems and rock solid tank.
Would it be able to handle a lvl 4 becomes the question?

I use a BS, Hyperion to be exact,
6 large rails,
5 cap recharger II's
2 large armor reps (i get 2080 armor repaired every
11.50sec (thats 180hp/sec) It works for me and i can keep both of em running without going below 50% cap (including guns)and around 76% resist to 2 types (depending on missions)
this tears trough all the BC+ ships, and for the smaller ones i have drones, depending on enemy speed i'll launch small or med drones (my drone skill atm > gunnery skills tho) mail reason this actualy works, dont have to worry about range to much and tank everything the missions throw at me
