What would be a viable setup to run level 5's with, using 4 accounts.
i have 1 char that can use domi + sentry II's, or a guardian. Another one that can fly nighthawk / vulture / golem, another char that can fly basilisk/Tengu, and another char that can fly shield or armor up to marauders minmatar/amarr, (3 of the chars are high sp 80+ MSP and can do what they do very good)
i am trying to figure out a viable setup to run 5's in that has good DPS to finish them in a timely manner, and wont have any issues tanking.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I use Vulture, Basilisk and 2 CNRs or Golems. Dropping a CNR for a Dominix if I need to afk it. |

Nighthawk = Passive tank
Basilisk = Healer
other two accounts = DPS
What do you need help with?
BTW, how much did these accounts cost you? |

People run level 5's? In CNRs and Golems? Do you wait till there's no one in local or something? Not trolling, just want to know how it's possible to last longer than 1 hour. |

This is why buying accounts is bad...  |

I'm not sure what you mean by that. |

This is very easily done with 2 chars, anything more than that should be pure damage ships. EM dmg missions: Passive armor res/buffer fitted machariel + sentry dominix for remote rep or an oneiros with tracking links and reps Kin/therm: Tengu(3x dmgmod + passive shield res/buffer) and a sentry dominix with shield transfers You certainly don't need a dedicated tanker with a lousy ~200dps |

First, many are blitzable.
You need these ships types.
Tank: HIC, tengu, command ship, drake, etc.
Logistics: Logistic, Domi fitted with reps, etc.
DPS ship.
For a forth ship, go dps or logistics, based on if tank is getting broken.
The real trick is not to get killed by the PVP in low sec. |

Meh, if you're going to put that much effort and money into it already just use 2-3 unprobable tengus. And make sure to have instant undocks as well as plenty of safes in the systems you'll be working in. You can still get caught on a gate/station if you aren't careful. |

The more accounts you bring, especially in lowsec, the more vulnerable you are. If you really want to be running level 5's, then use two pilots with max skills for their respective ships. For you, i'd use either a tengu and a nighthawk or a basilisk and an nighthawk. I use two tengus. I won't spoil the secrets, but I will suggest spending some time on the test server trying out different fits. Also, If I ever find you with those four accounts flying pimped faction ships in lowsec, I'm bringing in my carriers. You have been warned  |

Sorry for not being clear enough, yeah I *am* afraid of lowsec. The problem is having to fail the mission and taking massive standings hit every time someone warps into my mission. Golem takes what, 5 seconds to probe out? |

1 account, use a carrier. They cost about the same as a faction fitted marauder. For gated missions, I like the active tanked maelstrom/vargur with either an augoror (t1 cruiser) with cap transfers or a prorator that just dumps a pile of cap boosters next to the maelstrom/vargur. You're needlessly complicating things I think. As for running lvl5's in general, either you hide from the pirates and try to ninja them or you are one of the pirates. Being one of the pirates makes it pretty easy, you've got 10 blues in local and 1 neutral, and he's cowering in station while 5 of your blues camp him.  |

For me its very strange to use Marauder/CNR in lowsec, to run 4 accounts and use scanner to check for probers is hard. You will probably loose it sooner then you think. |
