What’s the most appropriate category of ship for each mission level

eve-online

I'm returning to EVE Online after a fairly long break, and looking to get back into combat missions.

I've been trying to run Level 2 missions in my Dominix, with most of my DPS coming from drones. However, it seems that the types of drones I have can't contend with the quick ships of the enemies, and the gun turrets I have equipped just can't track the buggers.

I'd like to work my way up to doing Level 4's again; but gradually.

So, should I downgrade my ship? And what level of ship is most size-appropriate for level 2, 3, 4 missions?

Best Answer

  • Level 1: frigate/destroyer
  • Level 2: cruiser
  • Level 3: battlecruiser
  • Level 4: battleship

A battleship is not a good choice for a level 2 mission. I used to run them in a Caracal, and that worked pretty well even with bad skills.
