What ship do you think is the ultimate solo level 4 mission ship?

I fully support the call for more loot pinata marauders and faction bs in mission hub systems.

LOL, of course ya gonna get the obligatory wannabe piwate in any thread of this kind. They not much to worry about though ... full of bigtalk and yo ho ho, and not much of an actual threat to people unless you stray into lowsec, or do some really stoopid stuff.

I think you're mistaking me taking a well-meaning pot-shot at someone suggesting a full x-type ship is a good idea for ravenous griefer braggadocio. It takes serious time and, more importantly, effort to gank players in highsec, i'll stick to hazing by other methods.

Power of 2;

Sentry (with drones on assist) Dominix & Nightmare/Proteus/Tengu - switch dependant on mission.

talos with blasters ^^

There was a thread with a ship with almost 100% Cormack's fit... would that work?

Friendship.

Power of 2;

The venerable Paladin of Cat is a shining example to us all.



In EVE, these are one in the same.

You mean "one and the same", surely? But yes - in EVE this is true. However, I was actually making the point that flying with other people (regardless of the situation) is nearly always more entertaining than grinding along solo.

I fly all of these ships and dont base my decisions on ETF

What ship do you think is the ultimate solo level 4 mission ship?

what ship has enough tank to not have to warp out and enough dps to blast there way through them as quick as possiable.

please post fit tactics and any other info u feel is relevant

Include price aswell just for the lolz

If you're looking for something that will tank the entire room indefinitely, when you're webbed and scrammed, I don't think such ship exists. Not for the biggest rooms.

Golem hands down for Caldari.

Nothing better to automate isk making.

Warp in. Sit still. Let missiles / torps do their job and salvage while you go.

Alternatively, My Raven was equipped with the following:

DRONES
02 x WARRIOR I DRONES
03 x HAMMERHEAD I DRONES

UPGRADES
01 x ROCKET FUEL CACHE PARTINTION I
01 x BAY LOADING ACCELERATOR I

A 10 billion isk navy- domi might tank even the hardest lv 4.
But, who on earth would spend 10 bil on a domi, lol.

lolwut? Learn to eft warrior

Hobgoblin II x5

70 million, 1300 DPS tank against Angels, (30 minutes, so basically cap-stable) AE4 bonus room puts out around 1050 dps and is one of the highest dps L4 rooms, so yeah you can be webbed and painted to hell and back and you can still take a **** halfway through =P

Going to need to with the amount of time it would take to clear the bonus room with that crap. Not even one BCU fit.

IMHO:
Fastest mission completion (but requires brain to be engaged) - machariel (possibly nightmare also) and vargur.
Safest AFK mission runner (not necessarily needing the engagement of brain) - rattlesnake.
Very safe (but needs some brain engaged) - golem.
Most versatile all-rounder (can be used with brain engaged or without much brain engaged) - tengu.
Most interesting (needs a lot of brain engaged) - Any assault frigate, or pirate frigate.

I think that the ultimate level 4 ship is the good ship Friendship.

As opposed to the good ship Lollipop...

Golem hands down for Caldari.

Not sure if troll or bad.

Yeah obviously, I would never run something like this, I was merely implying that 10billion on a domi just to tank a room is a ridiculous amount, if you really wanted to you can do it in a Draek. I would never do something like this, it's straight up ******** as you want as much deeps and as little tank.

Nighthawk with deadspace active tank, full crystal set, t2 heavies. I have yet to find a mission i haven't tanked.

Assault frigs can do enough damage to run 4s?
Also whats the general concensus on Proteus?

forget a vindy. Looks fantastic to an ETF warrior but you have to be very close to get that DPS on the target.

You don't fit Blasters.

Rail Vindis work, if I didn't salvage everything and thus fly a Rail Kronos I'd be flying one.

Train up for a tengu, you will never regret it!
