Yeah I just got to level 3 missions today.. 2nd mission was The Blockade. :(
current setup: 5x 425mm Gallium Machine guns (named autocannons) 1x Drone Link Augmentor
3x Named Capacitor Rechargers 1x 10mn AB T2 1x Named Cap Injector
4x rat specific named hardeners (n-type) 2x named armor reppers
so.. back to The Blockade. A friend of mine in a Drake came in to help me a bit.. the two of us can tank for quite some time before we have to warp out. Am I doing something wrong? Because in level 2's I never needed to warp out of a mission.
btw, I'm training for a Dominix right now.. I'm just looking for tips in the meantime.. I still haven't finished The Blockade lol...

switch one hardener with dmg control maybe, i always like dcu its a great module, if you have cash or salvage compenets to build rigs fit 2xrep amount rig and a rep cycle rig or a ccc if you have cap issues, getting med rep tech 2 can help also, maybe drop autocannos to arty or maybe a little bit small caliber ones for better tracking hmm maybe a web also its help both your guns and your drones.
i hope this helps

level 3 Blockade you say...
First tip for the mission, DONT SHOOT THE DIFFERENT NAMED ONES TILL YOU'RE READY, they're triggers for the next spawn, if they kept coming and coming you're killing the triggers.
here's my setup for my Myrmi that i can do most L3s with very little tactical regroups. Highs: 3x 250mm Compressed Coil rails w/Uranium (what can i say i'm gallente...mostly for aggro) 1x small tractor beam 2x salvager I the tractor beam and salvager is for uh...u know...mining
1x 10mn AB II 4x Cap recharger II (tech two ones are getting cheap u should be able to afford some)
2x med armor rep II 2x rat specific hardner (standard, named, tech 2, been kind of lazy to upgrade to tech 2) 2x cap power relay
no rigs
With this setup i can tank for a long time with everything on and cap hovering stable at 50%

I tried to fight close range in my myr and is was more risky and not really much faster than a long range fitted one.
So I changed my 220th autos ( for me better than the 425 (tested both) for 650th arties.
So I can kill some ships on the way .. fighting the 20 km+ ones with guns and let my drones rip through the rest.

I use 2 groups of drones 3 ogre 2 hammer for the big ones and 4 hobos and 1 hammer for the small ones.
Level 3 missions are a piece of cake with that setup.

yeah, about the not attacking spawn triggers... woops... i didn't know about that until i read about it, after doing it.. :\
shield tank? looks good, too bad i can't do it.. i don't have the skills and the time it would take to do that, i would have a dominix already.
i'm getting 1x CCC soon (all i can afford so far :\)

I found this setup worked very nicely for all my Level 3 needs:
5x 250mm Prototype Gauss Railguns 1x Drone Link Augmentor
1x 10MN AB (best named) 1x tracking CPU 3x Cap Recharger IIs
1x Magnetic Vortex Stabilizer 1x EANM 2x Rat Specific Active Hardeners 1x DCU (best you can fit) 1x MAR (best you can fit)
I'd probably use a different setup now, but that worked just fine for me before. ------------

i use this:
hi 3x 150mm railgun (for close frigs) 1x salvager 1x tractor 1x drone link augmentor
mid 3x lse 2 2x rat specific hardener 2
low 6x spr 2
rigs 2x sentry damage
drones 5x sentries (for anything else)
cap regen is about 180/sec and the sentries really pack a nice punch.

Just adding my input, I'm running 3's with this setup:
Highs: x5 Anode Neutron Particle Cannons (antimatter). x1 Salvager
Meds: x1 10mn AB II x1 Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor x3 Cap Recharger II's
Lows: x2 Medium Armor Repairer II's x1 DCII x3 Rat Specific T2 resistance.
Drones: 5 heavies, changes with resistances.
Runs everything full out until I have to switch on the second MAR2. Even then, it manages to last quite a while. Cap isn't an issue as much as tanking a high amount of damage is. On some missions (the blockade), the x2 MAR2's still can't rep as much damage as the spawns are dealing. ---------------

your key is not your setup, it's your drones ;) if you can fit a medium mar 2 and 4 hardeners, you're set, hammerhead IIs will do the rest

Thing is, the setup Kathira gave will solo all lvl -4- missions with little trouble. And you have to train what, 3 skills? It's pretty much worth it. You can even swap out a few bits since you're only doing lvl3s. For example, swap in an afterburner, swap a shield power relay for a gyro or tracking enhancer, stuff like that. The tank is vastly overkill for lvl3s. Oh, and for lvl3, hammerheads are all you need.
Also, it's actually very cheap. Very cost effective.
