It’s funny how people still try to fit cruise missiles for PVE. Cruises deal much less damage, especially if you keep in mind that you won't even need javelins in 90% of the time. Regular torps hit at ~43km which is more than most of the npc's orbit range, plus you WANT to blow rats not further than 40km from you, so you can pull the wrecks in and salvage right away. Basically, you are looking at torp-boat dealing ~1kdps w/o drones most of the time. Oh, and aside of that, if you can already fly a golem - you might want to train to fly phoenix soon, and you'll need torps anyway. Cruise missiles is pretty much a waste of training time, unless you fly a stealth bomber.

And I still want to see your 4 BCU T2 fit Golem.
Try this one.
From what you've said only Amarr BS V training suggestion was correct, everything else made no sense.

I'm gonna' prolly get a Golem in a couple of weeks, and try out both torps and cruise.
Yes, this is the most reasonable thing you can do.

Well, the point is simple - if you can not afford to spend a couple billions on your mission ship - you are doing it just wrong, and you better off belt-hunting, as it pretty much has no fitting requirements.

the tank has almost nothing to do with mission compete times, it is more about the damage output
Stopped reading here as poster obviousely has very little clue on how to speed up missioniong (including salvaging) with better tanking. Or perhaps his shiny t2-fitted boat doesnt earn him enough money to feel cool spending a few extra billions on something comfortable

Okay, with sarcasm off, let me explain a bit more. When I do missions I’d like to increase profit, right? Therefore I want to aggro as much rats as possible (say, in Pirate Invasion) to allow them time to get closer to my damage range. I want to get to acceleration gates faster (say, in Intercept Saboteurs, blood) without being have to shoot down rats from safe distance. I want all the rats to get as close to me as possible (say, in sansha Blockade) so I can salvage rightaway. As mentioned above – I want to be able to step out for a couple minutes without worrying of getting blown up. And after all, I want to do 2 different missions with 2 different characters at the same time, which means ship has to be self sufficient, able to salvage and not consume your time with tank management.
