I noticed the Navy Megathron has a good shield amount in its atributes, and 8 low slots. I was wondering,... what about making a shield tanking in that ship? With shield T2 extenders in mid and 8 T2 power relays in low slots?
I need some info, cause I am still nooby in tanking.
Thank you for answering!

For PVE? If you really want to shield tank something with 4 mids for some reason, by all means go for it. But if you're going to take a navy mega and fit it like that, just contract it to me :\
At least use the low slots for something a mega might actually benefit from.

Hey buddy,
Dont even consider shield tanking a Navy megathron. Its a pure armor tank ship, hence the 8 low slots. It can be done very effectively using active tank for PvE, and a wicked HP tank using plates for PvP.
If u insist on shield tanking a gallente battleship get a dominix, it can be done (it used to be possible anyways) quite well.

if your going to sheild tank a megathron for missions your best bet is a Vindi, has 5 mids I think. Just enough to do something with 4 is not quite there.

I don't suppose that it would be cap stable if you took that setup and made it a rail setup would it?

you can make a pretty damn insane shield tank on one of those, i tested a setup on EFT and ended up with a setup giving sustained defence of 1252 as a passive tank with a dps of 894, as well as a shield regen rate of 317 hp/s

passive shield tanking with sprs in a ship that has energy based weapons is probably a bad idea and planning to fail

No its not I do it all the time. You just need a balance of PDS and SPRÆs or you can do what the amour tankers do and use a cap booster, only cap boosters last longer on passive tanks.
Used to fly my Navy Mega all the time as a passive tank the only reason I donÆt use it anymore is I moved to T2 passive shield Kronos.
If I remember rightly I had a 1000+dps tank and almost 500HP/s regen on my Navy passive shield tank.
"I don't suppose that it would be cap stable if you took that setup and made it a rail setup would it?"
2 or 3 PDS make it cap stable. Or 1 cap booster.

Is that a good pasive tanking for level 4 missions? Or still not enought?
My char is good in drones, so those will make almost all the damage.

My god man, Don't shieldtank a Navy Megathron. Armor tank it, mine is tanked like this:
Low:
1x Amarr Navy Large Armor Repairer
2x2 Rat specific hardeners.
2x Rat specific hardeners for those missions who deal all sorts of damage. If not then I got 2xGallente Navy Mag Stabs
1x Capacitor Power Relay

ôand it probably hits as hard as a drakeö
356dps in full tank mode which is as hard as an full amour tank. Normally I go for 4 damage mods and a weaker tank so 588dps output. 425mm railguns
ôIs that a good pasive tanking for level 4 missions?ö
I find it enough but I rarely solo missions. Most of my missions are with 1 corp mate. In theory the tank would be 100% safe for all but the hardest missions, some full room aggros would break the tank if you sat there without killing anything.
