Jowen Datloran Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2009.02.05 15:23:00 - [1] What is the best sustainable tank I can squish out of a battlecruiser or battleship preferable of either Gallente or Minmatar type? I do not need any damage just the ability to survive some heavy fire. Thanks in advance. ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute
VoiceInTheDesert Diplomatic Disruption Chain of Chaos	Posted - 2009.02.05 15:26:00 - [2] Gallente, use a Domi. They got the easiest tank to sustain (perma dual rep) Minny....eh...tank isn't really their thing unless someone knows something I don't. I would go get a drake if you just want to soak up damage. A drake is almost completely immune to nos/nuet and will give you just as good or close numbers to a dual reppering BS if you're talking about missions.
Haradgrim Tyrell Corp INTERDICTION	Posted - 2009.02.05 15:28:00 - [3] Rokh, if you don't need to worry about DPS then you can fit an absurd tank.. -- Originally by: CCP Oveur Just donæt forget the reach-around.

I do not need any damage just the ability to survive some heavy fire. Thanks in advance. Try out a scorpion in EFT. The results will surprise you. It's far better than a Rokh.(more midslots) Obviously use all tank stuff in the mids, and cap stuff in the lows. Domi does make a great tank ship that can do useful stuff as well as tank..But it's tank will be inferior to the scorp.
lebrata Hedion University	Posted - 2009.02.05 17:01:00 - [6] Edited by: lebrata on 05/02/2009 17:01:49 Hyperion gets a rep bonus and along with rep rigs, implants and boosters is rather uber.
Xephys Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2009.02.05 17:07:00 - [7] Depends, if it's something that you CAN tank, like another ship, NPCs or a small gang, then a shield booster such as the Maelstrom would do good, it's got a hell of a tank. If it's a fleet that has DPS you know you won't be able to active tank, you may consider pretty much any of the Gallante BSes fit with a huge armor buffer.
Omarvelous Destry's Lounge	Posted - 2009.02.05 17:09:00 - [8] Give more specifics. Is this for bait? If so - you need tackle to keep your target stuck while they're trying to break you. - You need point - web - cyno. Is this against a large group or a small group? Small group - an active tank is better. Dual Large armor rep Hyperion is easily fit to tank 1000 dps as long as it has cap charges. Fit faction gear and exile boosters and you can easily get better results. Larger group? Multiple BS attacking you (over 6000 dps concentrated on you). Go with an Abbaddon - resist bonus + plates + faction reisst mods + slave set = 300,000 effective HP. Easy enough to get 40-50 thousand armor with resists in the upper 80's. Don't go with shield tankers. You need mid slot tackle gear to keep the target stuck. I think a Rokh is superior to a Scorpion because of higher base stats and higher resists. Point is moot if you have to fit tackle gear. Small groups - Hyperion Large Groups - Abaddon
Contralto Gallente Sleeper Research and Development	Posted - 2009.02.05 17:39:00 - [9] Edited by: Contralto on 05/02/2009 17:42:54 If its for Lvl V mission tanking. Fully passive Tanked Vulture (thinking Lvl V Dedicated tanker/gang booster/salvager) Note the warfare link won't work if fitted to the Tanker and the Cap is Nueted completely. These setups are against Serpentis. against Angels is lower, against Caldari is higher. ( with correct hardener fitted) Basic Cheap T2 fit + full compensation skills = 2050 dps or with Shield Harmonizing warfare link and gang = 2,524 dps 5x Large Shield Extender II Heat Dissipation Amplifier II 4x Shield Power Relay II 2x Core Defence Field Purger I ------------------------------ same as above but with Pithum amp and T2 purgers = 2,497 dps, with Shield harmonizing warfare link and gang - 2872 dps 5x Large Shield Extender II Pithum A-Type Heat Dissipation Amplifier 4x Shield Power Relay II 2x Core Defence Field Purger II ------------------------------ Semi passive Vulture Exchange to an active hardener Heat Dissipation Field T2 hardener plus T1 purgers = 2172/2498 dps without/with warfare link Dread Guristas Hardener plus T2 Purgers = 2472/2843 dps Effective HP are 205k/238k without/with gang link. I am using the above setup (T1 Purgers) on a Drake Tanker/salvager for lvl 4 missions, can tank any full stage aggro, in fact I just use a DG invul for all missions. Gank tank Kronos does the dirty work Vulture has an appreciably stronger tank than the Drake due to higher base resists.
Jowen Datloran Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2009.02.05 18:08:00 - [10] Edited by: Jowen Datloran on 05/02/2009 18:13:33 A bit more specifics; the ship has to stand still and have NPC pounding at it (no, no those advanced AI ones). As such speed will not be a beneficial factor. Also, the primary damage types will bet EM, kinetic and thermal damage. I have been looking at the duel repper Domi, I just wonder how much dps it can really tank. EDIT: Hm, the Hyperion looks like a possible option too. ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute

achoura	Posted - 2009.02.05 18:11:00 - [11] Passive ishtar can solo a lvl v, although its not worth the time it takes to do it. . *The EVE servers and their patches*
James Lyrus Lyrus Associates The Star Fraction	Posted - 2009.02.05 18:29:00 - [12] passsive tanked myrmidon
Megan Maynard Minmatar Out of Order	Posted - 2009.02.05 18:32:00 - [13] Claymore.
De Guantanamo	Posted - 2009.02.05 19:10:00 - [14] Edited by: De Guantanamo on 05/02/2009 19:11:02 Dual 1600mm plated, warfare linked damnation with LG slaves and mindlink . You could easily push 400-500k EHP (max skills and officer resist mods go up past 800k EHP)
pushdogg Minmatar Vermin.	Posted - 2009.02.05 19:37:00 - [15] Edited by: pushdogg on 05/02/2009 19:38:57 im surprised no one has mentioned the damnation, with a LG slave set(since everyone is throwing around officer mods), i would assume this or a claymore would be extremely tanky. i would go with crystals for the claymore. EDIT: sorry noticed gallente or minnie, i would say claymore or maybe an eos, but a maelstrom will tank alot aswell. best sig ever:) Originally by: Soul Harvestor You're an idiot.
Jowen Datloran Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2009.02.05 21:02:00 - [16] Hm Damnation, I have an unlimited supply of those. Thanks for the feedback so far guys. ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute
YouCallThatBig Destry's Lounge	Posted - 2009.02.05 21:51:00 - [17] Is this for tanking a 10/10 plex? Or a level V? NPC neuts are a consideration. Since tackling isn't your concern, I'd stick with a shield tank. You'd be amazed at how effective a buffer tank you can fit on an Onyx/Broadsword.
wenxiu Gallente 3M Institute Sang Do Oligarchic Democracy	Posted - 2009.02.06 08:28:00 - [18] Edited by: wenxiu on 06/02/2009 08:29:58 Originally by: Jowen Datloran A bit more specifics; the ship has to stand still and have NPC pounding at it (no, no those advanced AI ones). As such speed will not be a beneficial factor. Also, the primary damage types will bet EM, kinetic and thermal damage. I use either an Onyx or a Broadsword on my other character to tank. The Broadsword will do better if you have to tank against EM and are fitting it against NPCs but I have used the Onyx against Amarr NPCs and they do just fine. I note that the OP was asking about BS and not T2 cruisers.
Shan'Talasha Mea'Questa Minmatar The Perfect Harvesting Experience	Posted - 2009.02.06 08:35:00 - [19] Ask Pottsey for a good Passive Domi shield-tank-fit. ----------------------------------------------- Originally by: Paper Rock's fine, nerf Scissors
Karl Luckner	Posted - 2009.02.06 09:24:00 - [20] My vote would be Claymore or Broadsword, if it has to be Minmatar or Gallente. At least, if neuting is no concern. If neuting is a factor, either passive tank the claymore or better get a vulture. If remote rep is available, buffer tanked Damnation.

Memorya Minmatar	Posted - 2009.02.06 09:58:00 - [21] Originally by: VoiceInTheDesert Gallente, use a Domi. They got the easiest tank to sustain (perma dual rep) this can be done with other ships too ... i use typhoon with perma run dual rep. i have a question .. can i get more tank with maelstorm ? .. u use 2 armor pump rigs and 2 large T2 armro repairer .. i can take heavy fire on missions without problems Metal lives forever !!
Soporo Caldari The Graduates Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2009.02.06 10:50:00 - [22] Rattlesnake can get a sick passive hands free tank. 412 dps (480 with drones and two rails) 90k ehp plus 257 passive peak shield regen. The lazy mans fit but it requires Gallente and Caldari BS skills.
Shan'Talasha Mea'Questa Minmatar The Perfect Harvesting Experience	Posted - 2009.02.07 00:42:00 - [23] Just for good measure... remember what the OP asked for: Originally by: Jowen Datloran What is the best sustainable tank I can squish out of a battlecruiser or battleship preferable of either Gallente or Minmatar type? I do not need any damage just the ability to survive some heavy fire. Thanks in advance. Since so many people keep tossing other races and ship types (namely T2). ----------------------------------------------- Originally by: Paper Rock's fine, nerf Scissors

Rhatar Khurin Minmatar Free Ammatar Aid Organisation	Posted - 2009.02.07 01:33:00 - [25] Or you could go with a silly triple LAR2 domi (highs free to do whatever with) Triple LA2 domi setup
insulubria	Posted - 2009.02.08 14:56:00 - [26] Edited by: insulubria on 08/02/2009 14:59:47 when I do lvl 5's I use a NAVY RAVEN With Missile Range rigs. and 3 AN EANM 2 CN BCU 7x T2 siege 51km navy torps 71km javelin +/- and A single Onearios. That is how I did the last 5 Rouge Spys. Anyhow, for you.. Gal/min Well both have capless weapons.. drones/projectile honestly You'll be Neuted. and cap 800's might run a booster/repper between neuts but that'll drain you fast (drain you of cap charges), also purely passive hardeners and cap 400's might be better thus try to Rep like less than a second after you inject. and or try fitting 4 heavy nos and stay near some rats if you're alone, altho that would be very scetchy honestly doing a lvl5 with 1 or 2 people is the best way to go, completely alone you'll need good skill(besides the kind you train) and or a REALLY good ship, like a Marauder, Kronos, HG slave set, dual inject.. 3 nos 4 blasters..
Cedric Diggory Perfunctory Oleaginous Laocoon Mugwumps	Posted - 2009.02.08 15:37:00 - [27] Sounds like PVE.
