The following fits are specifically for handling the two Sentry Towers in the back room while hacking the local Remote Defense Grid Unit. The hardeners can be upgraded to their T2 equivalents, along with Electron Blasters (or AutoCannons for the Magnate) if possible, as they will do more damage than railguns. The same fits are useful for shooting the Restless Sentry Tower in the middle area.

'''Propulsion:''' The Afterburner is vital for keeping the ship moving.<br>

'''Tank:''' The EM and Thermal hardeners resist the damage types of the Sentry Guns, and the buffer tank can absorb one or two (maybe three) hits at the most.<br>

'''Analyzer:''' The Data Analyzer is necessary to hack the Remote Defense Grid Unit.<br>

'''Weaponry:''' The guns and the drones are there to kill one of the Sentry Guns.

One alternative is to fit a Heron with a Medium Ancillary Shield Booster with Heron. However, buffer is what makes resistances worthwhile, as the damage has to sink into something, and frigates and destroyers don't usually have the native HP to tank damage without a buffer (something normally reserved for cruisers and above). Therefore it's easy for a lucky hit to alpha an insufficiently tanked ship off the site.

It may also be possible to use two Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcers and one T2 active EM hardener, which may enable fitting a shield booster. Experimenting with a friendly [[Bantam]] or [[Inquisitor]] pilot can help, or bring a [[Scythe]] for extra drone damage. (Use light drones. The 50m signature radius of the Towers means medium drones can hardly track them.)
