Just returned, want to do PvE until I have time to get more involved and do PvP, so will be aiming to do High-sec L4s. Not sure what ship I should be training towards. I can fly well fit, T2 Gila and Machariels, but not sure whether to go towards a Maurauder (probably Vargur) or a Rattlesnake, or is there another ship I could train for.
Skills can be found here - https://eveskillboard.com/pilot/Luke_Visteen
There you can find a skill plan in appendix B
TBH autocannon Mach is a very good mission ship already. The falloff bonus gives it tolerable reach, it’s fast enough that you don’t need an MWD even for the missions where everything starts 100km over there, and it can shield or armor tank as you prefer.
should be pretty set for standard lv4s, But check the guide @erg_cz posted, burners can make you a lot of isk. Just be warned the guide hasn’t been updated in a while so there might be a few things out of date.
Also check this thread for alternate fits, I linked right to my post that should have pretty safe cap stable fits.
*** cough *** Hyperspatial, AC, faction bling low slots, deadspace shield tanked Mach is what you look for for high sec L4’s carebear blitz max ISK
Awesome stuff, thanks all. I’ve read the replies and will skip Marauders and the Rattlesnake for now, will run the linked Machariel (can fly fine) while I spend the next 70 or so days doing the other skills listed in the link

Caldari Navy Warden x4first fit looks good, a bit too shiny for my taste though, think those mid slots cost more than my whole setup.
second fit I’m sure will work for some missions, but the complete lack of tank will be a problem in a bunch of others.
What’s your fititng? I can’t see in that thread
This is my cheap armor fit and what I usually fly. it’s fast and hits hard, tank’s a bit weak but you can control the engagement ranges well enough I’m not worried about it. I think a shield fit can get slightly better performance, but they usually get more expensive.

Shield fit is something I haven’t tried to optimize since the slot change. this is my old fit where I mainly lost a TE in the lows and added a TC in the mids. MJD is another good looking option but gets tight on CPU, a bunch of ways to get the extra CPU though. Co-processor or CPU rig are easy but eat a slot. Going shiny faction/deadspace invluns and gist boosters use less CPU but like I said earlier that gets expensive. Could also go with a large shield booster.

Awesome, thanks for the fits
You speed tank with Machs? Never flown one before.
If you’re drone skills are good, it is very good at lvl 4.
You use the mobility to dictate range, and thus kite rather than speed tank through velocity and sig radius.
