Is is sensible to complete 0.0 complexes and combat sites solo?
If so, what's the best ship to use - a Marauder or Carrier?

Not a carrier. In the long term, you may want a Marauder. ------------

neither your sig radius is what's gonna get OMGWTFBBQ'D
the best thing is a Damnation fully buffer tank with slave set so Slave set and 3 T2 trimark pumps and officer fittings with full passive and what not with defender missiles(for citadel torps) you'll get 93% across the board resis with 40k HP and have a logistic ship or carrier rep you while you tank whole rooms.

Edited by: Nanobot on 11/10/2008 21:42:10 If he was going to have a carrier rep him, would it not be more sensible to have the carrier tank?
Ishtars quite good at the ninja stuff.
Shoot 1st, shoot some more, keep shooting, some more shot, and if anyones alive after ask a few questions. Just a soldier following orders.

yes you can do them solo.. not the hardest ones 9/10 and 10/10 tho but 6/10, 7/10 and 8/10 are usually possible to solo in a ishtar, drake, nighthawk.. sac might allso be good..

I'm surprised nobody is recommending a Marauder. Surely they are better than command ships?
Although they have a large sig radius, their massive tank should compensate.
I'd have thought they'd be perfect.

problem with the sig radius is the likelihood of getting scanned down in the plex, taking that into consideration, you'll want something smallish, preferably without drones.
at least thats the way I've been made to understand. Given the ability to tank and dish out reasonable damage, I'd say raven or domi, but then again drones are a no-go, so guess that leaves a raven. "He was quite mad and knew it very well, but being mad he did not care" |

Would it be sensible to do a 10/10 plex with a Golem and a logistics ship?

if you do plexes in lowsec you dont want to use a shiny ship because it will be a bigger target for gankers so a drake is good.. in 0.0 you dont have the same problem really.. if you gona probe for your nh or t2 bs they would probobly allso probe the drake :P
the thing making ishtar so good at tanking is the ability to avoid 95% of the damage (speed + low sig) where a bs would take full damage and fail when you get more then 10 npc bs agroing. drake got big sig radius but can have beter tank then a raven and can live without cap :P --------

Is the only way to tank the big opening rooms that web and aggro 12 or so bs on entrance besides running a CS with 1-2 repping domis? I like the ishtar idea, but I can't see it lasting more than a couple seconds with 4 webs on it and that amount of dps.

I'd have thought they'd be perfect.
MArauders dont have a massive tank, they have a repping bonus.
Command ships have a good resistance bonus that the marauders lack.
Tank is all about resistance not repping.
For example my plex eos has a 96% kinetic resist (used v guristas)and can permarun 2 med reppers, and it still struggles with some plexes sometimes. Im talking 24bs on some plex levels. The commad ships have less sig radius so receive more damage than marauders.
so-
"Would it be sensible to do a 10/10 plex with a Golem and a logistics ship?"
I think you would struggle to get the resists up tbh, i wouldnt recommend it.
It could however be the damage ship?

I agree with you - the resists on command ships are awesome.
But a Marauder is a battleship and can fit BS mods like a Gist X-large shield booster. On top of this, it has an awesome gank, so I'd take a Marauder over a Command Ship - however, I am biased because I can't fly CSs!
