Please note: This page is the opinion of the authors. These are only suggestions, not necessarily the best setups.

There are two broad schools of thought on how to do level 4 missions most effectively. One school of thought places the most emphasis on creating a large, capacitor-stable tank and treats damage-dealing as secondary, while the other school places emphasis on doing more damage, and is willing to compromise on a tank in order to get it. These can both make sense in different contexts - the former is good for a solo missioner who wants to avoid losing ships, while the latter is better for missioners in gangs who can just blow everything up before their tank cuts out.
