multiboxing L5s is fun as far as a multiboxing experience goes, you will get jumped on, you will have plenty of fleets engaging you. the problem is you wont make isk, you will barely break even.

if you go with 3 or so ships, you will either need to pimp them or it will take too long to clear, and if you fly expensive stuff or too many ships, you WILL get jumped on. don't doubt it. you will show up on intel channels as soon as you complete a mission or two due to the NPC killed stat. (damn free intel...)

in the end due to their static nature, the only way to do LvL5s is to blitz them with an AF and take the missions with the alts. far from a multiboxing experience. anf if you WANT to box them, then you cant really fly anything more expensive than a BC.

if you want to avoid incursions, then wormholes are better for making money, or lowsec exploration which will be much more fun and will make just as much ISK. a C4 will be ideal for Wh. you can do them with t1 cruisers (at least 4) with logi support. lots of isk, lots of pew pew with the random pirates.

and about the Sleipnirs, with perfect gunnery you are looking at 24km with phased (with two T2 Ambit Extensions), that means that 50% of the time you will deal 75% of your DPS, and 50% of the time 50% or less. you are looking at 600dps with 4 gyros + DCUII in the lows (best fit due to heavy penalties on falloff) also that dps is shooting t1 ammo, because shooting faction or T2 will cost you a fortune.

compare that to the 634dps with the SAME tracking up to 32km optimal from absolutions, with about 30% more tank, slightly lower sig (sansha misiles are monstruous) and the 30% tracking increase from effortlessly swiching to multifrecuency for targets under 10km (lasers have instant ammo swich), not to mention the retarded damage increase. (779dps with my skills )

the only upside i see on sleipnirs is the "free" midslot you get, you can add a SeBo for faster lock time after jams. obviously, if you only have sleipnirs then they are by far the second best Command ship to use on incursions.

comparing current CS to battleships is kinda pointless... they take forever to warp and align and the lock times are dreadful, T1 bs are twice as expensive as CSs due to rigs and extra fitting, and to reach the same levels of tank they need to be pimped, so they end up being 4x as expensive. which makes the fleet way too vulnerable to Disconnects.

and if you want to upgrade them for pirate ships you are looking at 2 billon a ship. and without resorting to webs the only viable ones are the nightmares. which are still inferior to sleipnirs and absolutions in terms of damage... :/ (tracking and gun signature)

Btw after some practice i got to make 482 million an hour including LP. and that's with only 5 dps... i need to find something to do besides losing t1 cruisers with my main...
