Well, I come here looking for a little help.
I'm going to be ninja plexing, please no ratting fits. I plan on returning to empire on a regular basis but may have to spend the night out in null. I'm wanting to go Amarr for the savings on ammo or Minmatar for their mobility. Thus the dilema.
Im thinking the Zealot or the Munin. If you think using either one of those two ships would be a bad choice, please let me know, open to pretty much anything.
I would like to stick with Amarr/Minmatar. Will even consider faction ships. T2 where possible. This is strictly one account, one pilot. Please no battleships
Thanks! |

For the ishtar that gets most of it's dps from drones this isn't a problem but for non-drone boats you usally end up with a pretty lame ship when you remove two high slots.
If you already can fly hac's and plan on beeing serious about this then perhaps 17days for gallente cruiser 5 isn't such a bad idea after all?
Marauders tend to have enough free high slots but it will make you an too big target imo. |

I'm thinking both your choices fail for running nullsec plexes, that's what I think.
Why not go with what's easiest and best? Jump in a T3, and put the covops and interdiction nullifier subsystems on. Bam, now you're cloaky and immune to bubbles.
Yes, the pricetag is over 400m, but you get what you pay for. Since you want to run potential gatecamps apparently every 24 hours (madness!), I'd say that investing in a T3 is a wise choice. |

Originally by: Jotobar Edited by: Jotobar on 19/03/2010 04:51:53 ...ishtar...
Was afraid you'd say that. I can deal with not having a cloak, but a probe launcher I def. need.
EDIT: Didnt even think of T3. Don't know **** about em though lol. Any suggestions? |

Solo and one account? train one of your empty slots to a probe ship and cloak, then find plex, drop book in can, log on combat player grab book and run plex. This will keep at least one hi slot left over.
For solo Gurista plexes I actually ran them in a rail fit Deimos - could run up to the 8/10 solo (didnt have t2 heavy drones trained to properly use the ishtar).

The easiest way to do this?
Find a C3 that has a static to nullsec and drop a small POS in it. It doesn't need defenses, but 36 hours of stront is a must. You can store your loot, ammo, and ships here. Everyday you'll get a new NS link that you can ninja. This should be doable with one pilot, and can be less dangerous than just holding everything and 'sleeping' in NS. |

Perfect solo fit, does everything besides ladars....capable of running 8/10 guristas plexes. Although it doesent have the dps to kill the commander spawn in penal.
Oh and it perma runs ab + repper....amarr and minmatar hacs are a very bad choice imo.
Maybe consider a sisters launher since ship aint bonused

Unless you have some serious skills and implants, i believe the above setup, while fairly useful, will not be able to scan down radar and mag sites, wich are pretty useful in nullsec if you have the time to kill the rats in them.
On the other hand...if that ship lacks the dps to kill Dewak, don't bother starting the Pith Penal complex at all. You need to fully clear two rooms full of rats and with that kind of dps and by yourself, it will take you too long.
Heck, I can solo that plex in a tengu and it takes me more than an hour because of all the killing.
About tech 3 cruisers: there seems to be a general grudging consensu that the caldari one(Tengu - do a search for a translation of this name from japanese, interesting results) is the best plex runner out there. Sure, nothing can beat the tank of an Ishtar but the dps is okay, easily projected at more than 70 km. It can also be made to be imune to bubbles.
Note that ammunition use might totally make you disregard these choices.
Needless to say however, you can achieve similar if not better rewards simply using a covops alt for the win.
Good luck getting past the gatecamps.
