Ok so looking for a change of pace from mini BS's and thinking about grabbing a rattlesnake my drone skills are decent but no T2 sentry yet. I am wondering if you guys have a nice fit that can do patrols or hordes up close and personal while using a gecko while I train sentry up?

Is the Rattlesnake tank enough to handle a horde up close that a lot of spike damage if things pop weird. I can use t2 cruise launchers. Or I could just grab a navy scorp for little bit more money as I know the tank on those things are pretty beast. Would love to use a vargur but bastion mode in null sec doesnt sound like a very good idea.

If you can tank a navy scorp to do it then you can tank a rattlesnaketo do it.

the rattlesnake is extremely powerful and very underated for its cost.. $500 mil for hull

My rattle running level 4 missions ( as something to do)

1602 dps
167,000+ effective HP and thats without boosting my Large Gist type shield booster for 9 1/2 minutes :)

I use tech 2

Sentries
Ogres
Hammerheads
Hobgoblins

In drone bay

Highs: I don't use the cruise missles, i get more dps and more benefits from using RHML x5 insanely powerful on a rattlesnake when using Kin/Therm missles :)

just shield tank it, add your ballistic control units/drone damage amps and smack everything, i never go below around 94% shield passively!

Hmm might be woth a try ... with RLML did you use you heavies since range is pretty short?

So you used 500 million dollars on your ship, sounds very stupid.

not posting where i run missions, this post is about a player wanting to know about a Rattlesnake



and yes I use Rapid Heavy Missle Launcher II

with T2 High Damage missles i get 46k/m range, with T1 variants i get 58k/m

Put my implants in for flight time and velocity can hit roughtly about 65k/m

anything outside this range is taken care of by Bouncer II's

the Drones by far do more dps so usually only use missle volleys on cruiser size ships.

hope it all helps..
