Hey folks,
I’m looking any recommendations or fittings for this ship:
- Tempest Fleet Issue
- Typhoon Fleet Issue
- Machariel
which allows me to comfortably accomplish the lv4 mission.
Cheers.

Shield or armor? Most of the mach fits I have are active shield tank. I’ll post a few of them later tonight if you’re interested in mach shield tank fits.
Also, what kind of budget?
Shield or armor?
I don’t have any special preferences, from what I saw on YouTube most were on active armor tank but active shield tank will be Ok too. - So yes I’am interested .
Also, what kind of budget?
max 800-900 M
For L4 missions, shield tanks are your buddy. Lets you pack more firepower application in your lows. Ever so gently over your budget (950m, including ship), but this should do the trick. Remember your tank is mostly blowing things up fast:

IIRC, you should be able to upgrade with a very affordable Gist C-Type X-Large Shield Booster once you get a bit more cash. Republic Fleet 500MN MWD also does wonders, but the RF Gyrostabilizers should be job 1 for pimping.

You can also save cash by making cheap abyssal alternatives to faction (i.e. T2 Gyros + Gravid, or Restrained MWD + Decayed). Use buy orders to save cash, and only keep what you need. For example, if you have a lot of CPU and/or PG left on your fit, you should roll with an abyssal MWD that has good speed, cap, and sig penalty, but crappy CPU and PG. Then sell everything else that’s worth selling.

Cool stuff all around folks!
This may be too funky for you Nemo, but since you asked for Typhoon Fleet Issue fits as well, I’ve been toying with this sucker to see how it might work. Mostly uses a range tank in missions, but 1005 dps from 80km isn’t something to sneeze at:

Fly it like the Raven and Dominix had a terrifying, rabid baby.
I’m sure there are improvements to be had (specifically to sensor range to make best use of the distance). Pyfa has been crapping out on me, so I’m mostly stuck toying with EVE’s own simulated fit tool. But the TFI always looked like fun stuff to me.
Well…if you’re inexplicably determined to subject yourself to flying some barely-spaceworthy heap of rusting debris…does it really matter which lashed-up pile in particular you inflict on yourself?
I don’t have good memory, but last time I tried tempest and it was lacking a lot.
at max skill, it has a 37.5 reduction in fire delay, plus 25% increase in damage, which makes its 6 turrets deal as much damage as 6×1.25/0.625 = 12 Effective Turret (ET).
Add to this the ability to add 2 rapid lights with fury, and it makes it able to defend against small frigate quite easily
However what it has in DPS and application, it lacks in projection : no range bonus means you need to get close and personal.
Therefore it needs mobility, and tank.
Mobility can be achieved through the Holy Micro Jump Drive (HMJD) and a MWD if possible
here is how I would fit the TFI :
The important part is the range of the guns. here you see 3/29 km range, so the “optimal” range you want to fight at is actually (29+3)/2 = 16km
But most of the time you will be in either barrage, because the rats are fcking far, or in RF, because they are just far but not the good resists.
here is the fit , click it

here is pyfa graph for hail, barrage, fusion. Fusion always worse than another one. Use rapid light against small targets !
pyfa says it can capstable tank 412 DPS. Which is bad for a brawler. Maybe replace nanobot by a T1 auxiliary ? makes 466 EHP/s
another possibility is to remove the MWD, the TC, the RAH, and instead put two armor reps, two cap batteries, and cap rigs. reaches 711 EHP/s which is … okayish for a brawler.
for information, my hyperion has 790 EHP/s with full tank, but did many of the mission with half of it (two reps).
I’ve been running this one for quite a few years. It runs 4’s very smoothly, specially if you go with any crystal implant set for shield boost bonus. Not required, but it makes runs MUCH smoother at or around 800-1k hp/s on that booster.
You can swap the sensor booster II out for another shield boost amp, or T2 stasis grappler. That sensor booster slot is for utility. You can put just about what ever you want in it, that fits. I use the sensor booster in areas that have heavy EWAR, and can make you unable to target anything further than 10km out. All around, this setup is perfect for running virtually any mission type, in any space.
I strongly advise you get a full mid/high crystal set, and squire capacitor implants along with gunnery implants. Those can all be long term goals. But, having the full crystal implant set will mostly trivialize level 4 content, even with a medium B-type shield booster.

This fit is an absolute poor man’s shitfit costing around 550 mil. It can run 4’s pretty comfortably, unless you get warp scrammed. It can be over whelmed if your sensors are blocked out by EWAR, and you get warp scrammed. Other than that, this boat is very good on a real tight budget.

Additionally…
You can migrate the active shield fit to mostly any gun boat. Like the Tempest.
The idea being get yourself a nice shiny X-Type large shield booster, a shield boost amp, an invuln T2, cap battery, and a MWD on the Tempest for example in the mid. It has one less mid slot than the Mach. But the Tempest still has low slots for 3 Gyros, 2 tracking enhancer T2’s, andd a T2 dmg control. The rigs can be cap rigs, or mix cap and plug resist holes, or just put dps rigs in. Really depends on your skills and implants.

The medium Shield booster can be swapped out for a large, or extra large. It’s just a matter of cap stability and how comfortable you are with boats that are stable vs. unstable. Implants can go a long way to helping with this. The shield booster will mostly be the bulk of your fit cost with any active shield fit, aside from the hull itself.
It’s the same concept from all of the gun boats tho, with active shield tank. Balancing cap stability, ehp, and choosing MWD or AB based on how you like your fit to operate. Hope this stuff helps!
Don’t know if you’re considering the Maelstrom at all. But, it’s a great LVL4 boat for beginners and poor folks. Nothing blingy, just a straight forward mission brawler for less than 300 mil. Give it a look. All of the modules on this boat are tech 2.
Again with this one, you can swap out the after burner if you are more comfortable managing your capacitor for a MWD. If you want to be able to turn your shield booster on and forget about it, use an after burner. The trade off is mission completion speed, and isk/hour.
