Hey guys,
I am looking for a "good" shield booster to put on a L4 mission running Nighthawk, but money most definitely IS an object. What do you consider the best bang for my buck in medium or large shield boosters on a mission running command ship?
I'd browse contracts but I am at work and probably won't be back in game for until tomorrow night so I'm asking for a bit of help/info. Yes I'm at work but my mind is on EVE :) Thanks!

I could only point you to the contracts as well, but maybe you find something at
http://www.eve-central.com/
I doubt it though as the deadspace gear cannot be sold on the market. It's a good site to know in any case.

TBH you don't need a fancy booster for L4's in a Nighthawk.
Just fit;
2 LSE's, 2 purger rigs and 1 SPR, 2 if you're shy on skills and an AB. You'll want an AB anyway for salvaging obviously but the damage reduction it gives you is significant. Resist and drones to taste.
It's a rat shooting machine. And a dull one at that but efficient.

But... I LIKE fancy! :D
So, questions about npc BS torps...
1) is the Nighthawk's sig radius so big that adding more to it (LSEs) won't make a difference in the amount of damage taken from Torps?
2) will moving at 360m/s with an AB reduce the damage from npc torps to any extent?

If you keep your NH sig radius to the natural 285, you're reducing incoming torp damage by 30% or so. You don't need an AB to reduce damage. Going with an active setup will help you keep your sig radius low. Go with 2xPithi A small boosters if you don't want to break the bank but want to stay active. Once you have the cash, get a Pithum A medium, which does the same job as 2x smalls and frees up one of your mids. Fill up your lows with BCUs and perhaps a cap mod.

Meh just go passive. NH (2x LSE, recharger, 2x kinetic / 2x shield power relay) can pretty much tank every guristas mission that exists. Above tank (+ hardener swap) enabled me to run all of missions except for "vs faction" ones (not because they are too hard for me - but i dont like losing standings).

EDIT: Pithi B smalls are cheaper than Pithi As, so I replaced my suggestion to reflect that
I was thinking about going with dual small Gisti-Bs; i use that on my Cerb sometimes. I'll have to see how they compare to the Pithis.
I'm like 3 grid short of my optimal passive setup, grrrr, guess I need to get a +PG implant in slot 6.

I use this set up for level 4s. The EM screen is in there because i do a lot of Sansha/Blood raider missions. This set up has worked great for level 4 missions. I bought the shield boosters for about 30mill each so they shouldnt break the bank.
