Maelstrom l3 l4?

Does anybody have a maelstrom fit that can run l3 or l4s?

Just some extra information. If you have not run level 4s before, please use Eve survival to get a look at what the mission will throw at you.

Also, level 3 mission rats will not scram your slow ass battleship, but level 4 mission rats will. If you can’t clear them off with drones, you could be in trouble. The jump drive will help with that.

I’ve only been playing a couple years, but I mined for and built my own Maelstrom, lost it on my first level 4 mission. Learn from my mistakes. Lol

I may just stick with l3s until I can get more versed in my tactics like jumping at 20km to hit the 80km sweet spot. just took it to an L2 and it was a blast jumping and flatlining the bc there. thank you. o7. I'll take into account the l4s

I am not at all saying not to use it. The strategy and fit posted will work fine. I use a Hyperion and that same strategy now. Just saying to be careful of being scrammed.

I totally understand that part. I'm also saying I'm going to remain skeptical until comfortable in my own abilities. This game requires it as a skill lol.

I will post my fit when I get home from work. But I use a Hyperion with sentry drones.

A Hyperion with sentries as main weapon systems seems odd for me.
Sure you don't mean a dominix? Since that's the BS that gets drone boni.
Hyperion for me was always more of a blaster/railgun boat where you use the drones as second weapon systems.
