Is this a viable option?
My skills are pretty far from being able to effectively armor tank, so I'm trying to shield tank my newly acquired tempest. I plan on using it for 0.0 Angel spawns.
Since the tempest thread is mainly geared towards missions and armor tanks, can anyone provide some valuable insight?

Edited by: Subruz on 24/10/2007 18:19:55 It's possible with decent skills but tbh I don't see why it'd be worth it, better running an active tank in that case.
- For starters you'll need 3 x purger rigs, then I'd slap on one kinetic and explosive hardener followed 1xinvuln II and 2xLSE II's. In lows 2 gyros and SPR's in the rest. Use whatever good close range guns you can field, your tank ain't great but you should be able to kill fast enough for it to work.
EDIT: and you might want to consider using a warp core stab in place of a gyro, up to you.

Purgers on a tempest? Urgh. Much better to run an X-L booster even if you need a co-proc to make the fit.

Yeah, active tanking is excellent for ratting against angels, Just use a co-proc and you'll be fine.

The OP never said a thing about passive shield tanking. It's strange how people thinks about passive as soon as we speak of shield tanking, isnt it ?
Tempest shield tank is totally doable, some even would say that it rocks. Fit 3x gyros in there and you wont need much of a shield tank.

Oh you're right, he didn't. For some reason I just assumed he did for some reason *shrug*.
Well if the OP is indeed interested in an active tank instead I'd say going for an inject, xl-boost, amp and invuln field in mids. Slap on a damage control in lows aswell with 2-3 gyros + PDU's. If you feel that you're still taking too much damage then rig it with 2 explosive and kinetic rigs, plus maybe an EM one aswell or an accelerator.
- Should rip thoose angels apart like butter.
