I've been thinking of doing one of these complexes. What can I expect? Can anyone tell me how much DPS I may need to tank.
My usual setup for level 4 angel mission is a drake to tank, with a phoon running support + gank. At 90% explo and kinetic resist it can tank over 1000 DPS with tech large sheild booster and can permatank that amount with the phoon giving me cap.
So, I would setup like this unless someone has better suggestions.
Drake: 7x Heavy Launchers 1x Med Nos
1x Large Shield Booster 2 1x Shield boost amp 4x Rat specific hardners
1x Damage control 2 1x BCS 2 2x PDS (maybe 4 PDS if I want the extra shields)
Gets around 7k shields and I havent had a level 4 break it yet (I haven't and probably won't try Mordus or WC)
Phoon 3x1200mm 4x Torps 1x Large energy xfer
1x painter Cap rechargers
BCS, Gyros, and cap recharge in lows
I guess im trying to find out if this setup would be good for a 5/10 Angel and what type of profit i can expect if we complete it.
Thanks for advice in advance.

No advice at all? Not even some linkage maybe?
That makes me a sad panda.

Not alot of normal players run the complexes anymore sadly. A special agricultural elite has sort of taken over all the good ones.
Setups make sense, i'd suggest:
1/ Swapping the dc on the Drake for another PDS. If you're tank fails in a 5/10 then I suspect not even a DC will save you.
2/ Make sure the phoon carries at least 5 x Med Shield Maint. Bots.
3/ Just use a Raven ---

Passive tank your drake, and maybe put some shield maintenance drones on it for the kicks. Generally drakes ain't good for lv 4 missions because their dps is not enough to get over it in reasonable time, just get a raven indeed.

I recently ran a 4/10 solo in a Drake, and the only part I found challenging was breaking the tank of the last Overseer.
I'd setup passive, not active - unless your cap's completely sustainable with the Large Booster, which I doubt it would be.

First of all, 5/10 complex sucks.
Your only chance is getting a Cynabal BPC at the end, but it's very rare drop.
Basically, first stage is instant aggro, you can easily tank it with a drake though if you have half decent skills.
Just burn away with AB and spam missiles, should do the trick.
Try something like, 7x heavy launchers, 1x cloak [anti-grief]/salvager/tractor. 2x lse II, ab II, expl II, 2x kin II, and maybe invul, don't think another lse will fit. Lows should be 2x spr, 2x bcs, but again, grid/cpu issues... maybe need to fit PDU, i'm at uni atm so can't test.

These are not the posts you are looking for...
Even so, the Drake's built for passive tanking - and I say this as someone who hates the very concept. Why use something so cap-reliant when you don't have to?
