Marauders, Marauders and Marauders. You can run a few of the missions with a frigate (I prefer the Hecate as it’s lightning quick).
For the “Recon” series and “Cargo Delivery” I’d recommend a passive shieldtanked Nano-MWD-Condor. Dirt cheap, fast and no skill requirements.
i use paladin for most of the missions.. a kronos for angel extravaganza, and a barg for the missions with long travel times.. and most if not all drone missions.
I used a cruiser of a type/race appropriate for the region fitted for the missions I was going to be up against. But hey, that’s just me.
Bastion Arty Vargur.
I’d rather take a ride on blaster kronos and cruise golem moreover a thunderchild with another acc occasionally, but the ship does great performance at time and cost(ammos).
Although thunderchild can be done the missions which are dealt with ease of NPC clusters, it seemed the ship was faster.
Take a look at my videos as below. sry for youtube link’s spam though.
*The youtube links I’ve posted at first of which have been age restricted and can’t see in here so I just re-post external links as below

..That’s yours!!
↓The Tapioca Terrorist : you wot?↓
you wot?
Looks like you’re having a blast!
Marauder is End Game there is no real game play here least with a Dominix or a Rattlesnake you had to manage things. Only risk to a Marauder is you fall asleep at keyboard cause its batshit boring or Gankers.
Empire is too much of a sandbox needs more RPG elements or something hasnt changed much in decades.
Managing stuff with the Dominix, agreed. Sometimes fast rats swarm you and you have to swap your Sentry Drones to lights. The Vargur I use does take some management as well, I’m going relatively weak tank for more killing power.
Rattlesnake? It’s rare I even have to move it, the sentries and a steady barrage of missiles will clean out most Lvl 4 missions before anything makes a serious dent in the shields. And that’s with one extender and two resist mods.
Cruise missile Golem.

Offers no loot for gankers, the whole droppable fit is 75M, so on average you’ll loot ~37M if you kill it.
Pod is protected by an bricktanked Assault Frig with ADC as Escape Frigate, so it basically can’t die in HS. You can tank 1000 DPS for 4 minutes, which is more than enough to grind down all the DPS dealers in each mission pocket. The ship grinds trough L4s like a hot knife through butter. 2x Tracking Scripts if opponents get too close. In very rare cases, MJD 100km away and keep killing.
HF, that ship is basically failsafe.
You can switch out the Rails for Neutron Blaster Cannons for certain missions that have everything close by and almost double your DPS. But Rails is more convenient in the average mission.
they sometimes kill marauders just because…
There are nowhere near enough gankers still playing for that to be an issue. By the time you lose a bil due to getting ganked, you will have earned fifty from grinding missions. Assuming the boredom doesn’t make you quit first, of course. Just take the basic precaution of not running missions less than three jumps from Jita.
Yeah so what? I don’t waste my time using a ship half as efficient (which everything below a Marauder is), beause of the small chance that I might get killed by some Yolo-Squad once every 10 years.
