I'm currently using this setup:
CNR for killing battleships and battlecruisers
Tengu for killing cruisers, destroyers and frigs
Myrmidon for boosting shields

Thoughts?

you`re talking about L5 ? else i can`t imagine what do you have in mind since with a CNR or Tengu you can blitz l4 very very easy , and there are many many more who can do it ...

I'm talking about doing lvl 4s but semi-afk at lightning speed, but yeah eventually it would be cool to be able to solo lvl 5s i dont know about moving a faction-fit cnr into low set though lol

noob ... active tank ships can`t solo l5 since the neut towers will rape you
well ... i wonder how would you semi-afk when you`re triple boxing in ships that require targeting . What you need is 3 passive tanking Dominix , get out your drones and get afk ... one with garde II sentries , one with hobgoblin II and one with Ogre II . This would be totally overkill though ... and you`ll end better with isk / hour by doing 3 missions in the same time , lulz

i been running alot missions over the years (alooooooooooooot) and the fastest ive managed to do it with, isk / standing wise is to use 1 decent tanked CNR with max dps build (this ship cost alot, but pay for itself quite fast) and i ran a booster / looter together with that in a Hurricane, pretty imba setup.
U can tank whatever, u do loads of dps, and your booster/looter can run around looting + salvaging everything really fast.
Most missions u kill and loot at the same speed 2 persons would.
By running this setup, with decent social skills and maxxed dps skills + boosting skills and salvage/looting (like my chars have) u can easy earn 4-600 millions per day (without selling the loyaltly stuff etc)

For lvl 5 u need a totally diffrent setup, we made guides for lvl 5 missions aswell, so done quite alot of them aswell. U need a passive tank, preferably a booster unless you gonna spend alot on making a sick tank, and some dps to save you some time
best way to do lvl 5 alone (1 person controlling it all) would be a passive tanked Nighthawk, or Vulture (thats what we used, can use many others) a Basilisk (logistics ship with mass shield transfer) and a very light tanked EXTREMLY HIGH dps ship, like a torp raven, or something cheap that does alot dps and dosent hurt to much if it dies.

Me and 2 friends did "The Maze" or what it was called, around 2-3 years ago, was major fun and very very hard, i was tanking around 6800 dps, and i was dropping quite fast but we managed it after a few tries, was a nasty citadel torpedo that was lauched out of a headquarter that did around 1200 AOE dmg to me and everyone around me @ 95% resist
fun times!

Sry for all the extra chatter, just fun when old memories pops out

nah , imo for lvl 5 one or two passive shield buffer Proteus with 200k EHP and 2400 tank vs specific rats = win ... they`ll have around 500-600 DPS each depend on your skills and the build , but mostly they will depend on a good fit ^^ they will only need hull + 3 pith A-type passive shield hardeners , everything else will be t2

6 x shield power relay II

2 x LSE II , 2 x main rat specific passive hardener , 1 x secondary rat spefic passive hardener (those must be pith A-type)
3 x 220mm autocannon II , 1 x drone link augmentator , 1 x small tractor beam

this gets 200++ k EHP and 2500+ tank DPS , and the modules are cheap , the most expensive are the pith a-type = 60m each . The tank is more than enaugh considering the cruiser hull class with low signature and shit , you`ll get very low damage from BS ... all you need to rape the ewar frigates , and manage aggro properly

Golem, AFK 99% of level 4's easily killing and salvaging all ships

just to inform you naikon, the setup i talk about cost 200-300 million combined and can tank almost anything

your setup is billions in ships and modules
+ u have to train alot useless skills


EHP is usually a bad idea for lvl 5 anyway, almost any ship can tank a lvl 5 quite easy with high resist, so just max all your resist, have a small buffer tank to take the initial dmg, and shieldtransfer your way to success

In high DPS missions, this is the only way that works.

and how do you suggest having huge tank per second if you don`t have huge base EHP to boost your % shield recharge from SPR II modules ?
