in some level 5's you will need around a 2000 DPS tank 
This is where logistics come into play or BS's with Shield drones and transferers...
But i completed around 30 level 5's solo in a NH just to prove it could be done.
dust queen - You are going to want to join a group of guys who run them often and take advantage of having support when you get jumped. Just be aligned at all times and as always be on the scanner looking for trouble.

By 2000 DPS tank do you mean before or after the resists? Meaning, the rats do 2000 DPS and then it's reduced by say a 75% resistance to 500DPS?
No i mean with an average of actual 2,000 DPS

I would like to ask if 3 energy transfer arrays on a Drake would be enough to keep hardeners online even after neuts...
Also I see that there aren't neuts on all missions (and not in the same quantity), which is the average of missions that include neuts? 1/2, 2/3? (Also is true that neut towers respawn?)
Neut Towers do not respawn but on destroying them another may spawn but its a set of timed events or triggers.
Not sure on the drake but i know of a tester who used to send me info who did all his missions in his drake. He had to warp out multiple times and would take him the best part of all day solo but he would do it.
Id say 4/5 or 80% of the missions have Neut towers. If they dont have neut towers then they are normaly compensated by huge amounts of Raw DPS.

Some of these missions have insane DPS.
If you have a mission called "Matar Carrier" and it spawns in High sec (This is not uncommon) then the DPS in this room is so much more than 2000DPS even at 75% resists as you have to contend with all the support which is fighters.
These missions can be a nightmare even for a solo carrier if he plays the mission wrong.
But with a NightHawk and a BS in support or a logistics you can walk these missions but i always recommend that you use a NH and a BS as a NH and Logistics isnt going to field as much DPS and also with new spawns a Logistics ship is at risk.
Hope that answers your question. And hopefully i will have the site back up as of tomorrow night or wednesday afternoon

A cyclone with energy transfer logistics can tank a level 5. Use 3 shield gank links and crystals breaks 2800 DPS with T2 equipment. With no implants it's ~1900.
This is from EFT Warrior, no leadership bonuses either. Your mileage may vary.
Yes you are right and it would tank if you were dual boxxing, But where is your DPS?
When running these missions you need to complete them as fast as possible. Everyone says they can tank them using a BC with 2 log ships but some of these BS's in these missions need alot of DPS just to take them down.
Also you have to remember time ratio (If thats important to you) vs isk. Also you mention a cyclone being energy transfered. This is a problem as if you get a new wave which all agro your logistics and you have to leave then the neut towers will instantly cap you dry.

you mentioned "don't zoom in or you'll get lag-bombed" or something to that tune. is lag a factor in l5's? usually, i only get a small lag-spike when a whole pocket aggroes me in a l4 (in WC, i'd get a 3-5 second delay to mod activation).
Cant say since RMR i have had problem with lagg in missions....
I know some have suffered with this but i think it also depends on your PC and also your connection. But we all know that having a l33t PC isnt the answer as sometimes the load on the TQ server sometimes is a little jippish
Yes i said jippish its a new word. No really !!!
Dont believe me eh?
