I'm planning on using a Maelstrom for L4s till I can get into a Vargur (been using the Mael for tougher L4 missions, can solo the Angels Extravaganza 3 bonus room just fine, and Vargur is only about a month and a half away).
I am curious if this will work- I am running an AC/AB Mael with an XL booster, 4 hardeners, and (coming soon) t2 guns and Minmatar Battleship 5 (last I checked I was 2-ish days away from Minnie BS 5).
Mael, L4 Minnie mission runner:
High: 8x Heavy 'Scout' Repeating Artillery, faction-specific ammo
Mid: 2x Invulnerability Field II 2x mission specific hardener II 1x XL Shield Booster II 1x 100mn Afterburner II
Low: 3x Gyrostabilizer II 1x Tracking Enhancer II 1x Power Diagnostic System
Rig: 3x CCC I
Drones: 5x mission specific medium drones (either Hammerhead IIs or Valk IIs) 10x mission specific light drones (Hobgob II or Warrior II)
Implants: 'Squire' CR4 'Squire'CC4 'Gunslinger' LX-1 'Gunslinger'CX-1
I already have all the hardware needed, just need some advice =)

Noted. I'll test that out. Would replacing the PDS with another tracking enhancer work as well?

Originally by: AstroPhobic Good luck running autocannons with no ambit rigs, and better yet, no barrage.
I'm not that concerned about it, tbh. I actually have some very nice mods attached to this thing ingame, this is just the t2 equivalent of the setup. RF gyros, RF TE, and a Domination afterburner make it so I really don't care too much. I'm interested in making ISK but the game isn't going anywhere, so there's no rush. |

I'd rather not use artillery, I hate it on anything bigger than a frigate. I'm using AC because I need to get used to the med/low slot layout of the Maelstrom and the AC+AB style of Minmatar mission running (Vargur has same med/low slot layout, plus it uses AB+AC.) I'd also rather not permatank anything, since I like XL boosters a lot more now.
I'm also not going to use t2 ammunition, it isn't needed. I'll get t2 larges soon, but I find that using Fusion L on Angels works plenty well, and with the falloff bonus of the Vargur I'm planning on testing out Carbonized Lead and using that instead of Barrage.

Edited by: JordanParey on 20/06/2009 14:39:22 So, today I got pwnt by Buzz Kill.
I did Massive Attack (Serps) with the above setup with relative ease, but I got Buzz Kill as my second L4.
I changed out the invulns for Buzz Kill to 2x explo hardener, 2x kinetic hardener. With Minmatar Battleship 5 I got 825 hp boost from a t2 XL booster..
I did great till the wave with the battlecruisers. I killed the BCs but then a bunch of cruisers and assault cruisers got me ( I was aligned to station but didn't see the notice for being scrammed, resulting in only just losing my ship.)
edit: thankfully I was running with a complete t2 setup, no faction mods on there.. Can someone tell me what a real solid setup for Buzz Kill is?

So, I am replacing the Mael I lost yesterday and looking to buy a second (I am not bothered by the fact that I lost it, I figured it would happen sometime).
What I am curious about is if Semiconductor Memory Cells are better to use than CCCs? Is it worth the extra cost?
