Hi there,
I've got a question from semi-noob/frig lover here. Is it possible to do LVL4 kill missions solo in ships that is < BS size wise? 0.0 rats and LVL3 missions are not too hard with Jag/Wolf or Ishkur but I guess with more than few BS NPCs it would be too hard. Any opinions? I am aware that it would be quite a lot slower yes.

I have friends doing it in a passive tanked Drake. Not all lvl4's, but a lot!

I solo many lvl 4 with my Ishtar, same timer if i do those with the Dominix, i just stay far from missions involving too many stasis towers and too many "turrets".

Cargo Delivery lvl4. Just ignore all the rats and orbit warehouse at 500m. Thanks to CCP's amazing tracking formunla, all the enemy shots miss you while you approach warehouse and orbit it. Pick up cargo and warp out and complete mission. Simple. --

Im guessing frigates will be able to do lvl 4s, but it's not really worth it due to the speed and risc. Like a crow could probably take near no damage from big ships zipping around at 5km/s, ripping small ships and taking 5 minutes for a battleship.
HACs are realistic small ships, the Cerb or Isthar compete with battleships. Assault frigs could do it as well but not as fast.

Passive shield-tanked Myrmidons don't do too bad in L4s.... Bringing in extra firepower makes things a lot more fun though. _______________________________

I have soloed some missions in an ishkur: gone berserk, shipyard theft, zazzmatazz and some more. It was just an experiment though, BSes do them much faster and safer.
I will make a little video of it later.

Edited by: Sergo Mor''Zert on 07/03/2008 12:17:45 Ishtar and Cerberus are two smallest ship that can do all lvl4 missions with easy.
But to do all of them they require a "bit" costly setup, your regular t2 will not cut it for some of those missions (like lots of webs and turrets)
And in this setups Ishtar would be much cheaper choice (becouse cost of good shield boosters).
Ishtar something along the line: two deadspace med armor repairers, rest lows resistances, all meds cap rechargers to made it run perma, rigs 2xpumps, one gun for grabbing aggro (thats a safe setup you can lower your tank to incresase gank ofcorse like drones tracking mods, sentries dmg rigs etc.)

Both the Sac and Zealot handle lvl 4's well. I did lose a sac in one once . . . on Super Bowl Sunday. Needed to pick 2 of: Drink Beer/Watch the Game/Do WC.
Tank wise, I usually prefer those over the BS's - the BS has more HP, but takes A LOT more damage to start with. The HACs usually tank better for me. Damage wise, they don't compete with the BS.
After the patch, the zealot might do some missions faster than BS though - those missions where you have so many small ships that come in close that you end up waiting on drones to kill rats . . . not positive, but I think the zealot will blow through those missions faster than a BS would.

I was able to solo all lvl4s with a passive shield tank drake with less then 1 mill SP in relevant skills. I had to kite often, and killing BSes would take time, but managed all. Just skills for t2 shield extender/hardener/recharger/etc, get t2 hobgoblins and fit arbalest heavies.

I have heard of Interceptors doing some, though that would be difficult to say the least. I know a fellow who has used a Gila for a few of them. Another has a few in a Caracal, but I forget which ones or his name.
As for how they did it, I have no idea. -------------------- ICE Blueprint Sales FIRST!! -Yipsilanti Pfft. Never such a thing as a "last chance". ;) -Rauth |
