new rattlesnake...
for l4s.

I guess RHML with heavy missiles for the smaller ships, some brick tank and mix of gecko\sentry drones?

The snake is good and even better with perfect skills for running L4's now. I keep a gecko in the hold along with Heavy drones. 2 berserkers and 2 wasp or Ogres. The rest are light drones that I call throw away drones since alot of the missions give light drones for loot. I'm also looking into the Integrated Heavy drones until I have T2 trained up. That 275% bonus makes the gecko an instant go to weapon once you pull complete aggro (otherwise be prepared to make it dock and switch out to the heavy's).

For missiles I run with navy Issue cruise and 1 heavy launcher with Navy again. You could also just use FoF with the heavy and focus on the bigger targets to give more brain power to drone management. The Rattler is an awesome ship that shouldn't be over looked.

One last point if your going to run with gecko's don't overlook the drone durability rigs.

Drones uesed:

2 Curators
2 Gardes
5 Hornets
Gecko

2 faction drone omni's
Drone range rig.

Pulling over 1700 dps with the gecko on angel missions.
Over 1500 constant damage.


Nothing is better.

From what I've seen people fit theirs, yes. Split the lows up between 3 DDAs and 3 BCSs (as always, faction to your taste), fill up mids with TP/Omnidirectional and active tank (pulse is better/cheaper but you can fit a medium SB for perma-tank), MJD if you like. Cruise missile for the highs, DLA in the 6th. Rigs seem to be all over the place, but most fit a drone rig (Scoping or Sentry Damage), missile rig, and the third is dependent on what Calibration you have left over.

That'll get you DPS like a Vindi with a tank that is actually that...a tank.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

was wondering about tank...
how much we are talking about active tank wise...
let's say 1 X-large + 1 shield amp and using pulse repairs. using only 2 specific hardeners according to the rats damage profile.
really the basic setup...

considering 1-2 min cap time it can hold with shield rep active.
will it work well without mjd just brawling in there shooting stuff with the idea of clustering the wrecks in close proximity or I'll need to toss in cap800 potions as well?

EDIT:
otoh... considering changes to drones...

cheap dominix with 5 sentries and mjd.. don't even think t2 armor will be needed.. thoughts?

Can't comment on tank as I operated mine on buffer (more than one account). I just say that rattle actually makes it viable to dronetank missions if yyou have logi support. Two rattles with two geckos plus scimi is what I tested. Four things four while transfers.

Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... THWONK! GOT the bastard.

OP,

Many of your questions are seriously basic. Is your EFT broken?

indeed it is a very sexy ship after the change....
on eft with 1 gecko I get almost 500 dps (just the gecko not including missiles).
