your EHP with the invuln off is what matters. Also keep in mind that you might be able to get the exact same resists out of tech ii or x-type mission specific hardeners instead of the invuln + the boost amplifier, at much lower cost (and thus much lower gank risk)

Even with your invuln on, it would only take 7 tornadoes to make you evaporate faster than you knew what happened, and 7 tornadoes costs much less than half of what your low slots are worth. In other words, you'd be profitable to gank.

e. other fitting advice:
you don't need to be cap stable and perma run your tank. Put on the least amount of tank possible and decline any missions that aren't blitzable.

I'm not trying to blitz missions right now since I'm not trained to do burners. Since I can't do burners I won't be able to sustain my standings when I constantly decline every mission I can't just blitz.

If I have to do level 4s straight up don't I need my tank to be near cap stable?

I made mine cap stable with either the booster or burner on but I just used poo poo out of my pile. I also downgraded most of what you have there one step and run everything fine. My burner fits are retarded though

If you have like 4 minutes of cap you can survive most l4s, if you're sensible. Seriously - I did l4s in a 300m isk Maelstrom. Sure, you're doing them faster, but you're not doing them TEN TIMES faster, which you would have to be to justify the cost/risk.

gently caress, just play around with EFT/Pyfa on your lowslots. How much DPS is that 4th faction BCU actually giving you over the tech ii? 2?

You're driving a god drat autism chariot, looking at your fit, thats the kind of thing I would drool and twitch if there was an opportunity to gank it. Take about 4 steps back on the cost, sell the expensive modules, and buy a standings alt to fetch burner missions.

For me I'm doing them in ships worth only 2-3 times that (some of that cost is because poo poo skilling tbh) and I'd say I don't them like 1.5-2x as fast as a maelstrom

up to 1b isk is sane for a mission ship. To be fair, my Maelstrom was part of a "how ghetto can I get and still do these things" affair on a newly trained alt.

Like for god sakes man, 1.86B isk sell value in Jita. At 100m isk/hour, which is top-end best you can expect from blitzing non-burners, that's still almost 20 hours of work to replace if you welp it or get ganked. Don't be a stupid who gets addicted to Purple Armor in Space.

Pith X type SBA, large shield booster, and set of hardeners plus a t2 or faction invuln (refit mids as needed) with an ab. T2 damage mods and TEs and the plus you already have. Gist type is stupid expensive even still (I think. This is the stockpile of poo poo I was referring to but I think its still way cheaper and faction where you can)

Also, will people just never attempt to gank Procurers? I realize it's the tankiest of the lot, but I feel like that years ago, people would gank you just out of spite if you tanked to try to be safe from them.

On the other hand, I'm guessing a Retriever (or Covetor? whichever had the highest mining yield) is gonna get ganked in seconds upon undocking with that little EHP.
And finally, I apparently have enough processing skills at IV to gain a little more money from selling reprocessed ore instead of the ore itself, but is there some other thing I should be doing with my ores while chill-mining? I recall standings and somesuch factoring into the reprocessing yield.

Don't forget that years ago, you'd still get the insurance payout if you suicide ganked, so people would often break even on a hard kill. Today, not so much.

And a procurer is definitely a hard kill -- they can break 100k EHP in an all-tank fit, or 70k EHP for an actual mining fit. And that's before overheating.

You know gently caress all is happening when the un-chill thread turns into talk about missioning and 'attaboy' posts.

Does anyone have a good fit for gated Lvl5 missions? I keep running into a brick wall on waiting out 4 hour timers to not lose my agent and other games just don't pass the time like they used to.

Quit trying to omnitank. Take the 4 seconds to figure out what damage types are in a mission and then tank for those.

It's been a while (like, almost three years) but a capless mjd golem can do all the blitzable l5 missions (gated and ungated). The fit is something like this:

[Golem, L5 solo]

Caldari Navy Ballistic Control System

Large Micro Jump Drive
Heavy Capacitor Booster II, Navy Cap Booster 800
X-Large Ancillary Shield Booster, Navy Cap Booster 400
X-Large Ancillary Shield Booster, Navy Cap Booster 400
Pithum A-Type EM Ward Amplifier
Pithum C-Type Thermal Dissipation Amplifier
Domination Kinetic Deflection Amplifier

Cruise Missile Launcher II, Mjolnir Fury Cruise Missile
[empty high slot]
Cruise Missile Launcher II, Mjolnir Fury Cruise Missile
[empty high slot]

Warp in, mjd off the beacon, blap the objective, moonwalk out.
e: a better solution is just to buy another pulling alt, though.

This is bad advice, since omnitank is gank resistance. Tailor your resistances to the NPCs a little but if you're at all worried about getting suicided then you need to avoid resist holes and increase buffer.

(if you are intentionally giving bad advice so you can gank him, then carry on)

I think the point is that if you tailor your resistances to the NPCs, you can fit cheaper modules and actually get a greater effective tank vs NPCs, which makes you both more effective and less likely to get ganked in the first place.
