I have around 5 skill injectors, and I'm curious if I will be able to get into a solid T1 battleship that can run level 4 missions. I've already got basic light drone skills, and some decent core skills.

Should I go with the,
1. Raven
2. Typhoon
3. Rattlesnake

Or is there an even better one that I'm missing?

Only have around 2.5m SP to inject.

Technically the Rattler would be the best out of the three you listed.

However for an entry level you would best using the raven. Since your apparently new I would go for that and learn everything before you go on put all your eggs in one basket. I havn't ran level 4's in a while but I remember rats with point you and keep you from warping out so if where to lose something, the raven would hurt less.


Also down the road the Mach is a good level 4 Blitzer.

Best entry level BS for missions is a Dominix.


From your list ... Raven.

Rattlesnake is not entry level.

I'll add my suggestions with a few fittings, all these fits are t2 fits and you better use a Drake or Gila until you can use t2 mods.
All these fits have good damage application to the rats which is a problem for BS in general and especially cruse missiles.

Make use of refitting in mission as loot table from lvl4 missions is horrible atm.
I like to use Coreli A-Type Adaptive Nano Plating on my fits as it's gives good resists for low isk, they are about 60m isk now.

Domi, use sentrys and fight at 50km+ (civilian gun to agro rats), pulse repper when needed.

Best all rounder but need a Capacitor Booster if you want to be able to apply the damage, pulse shield booster when needed.

Can apply damage better than Raven and have more dps, drawback is lower cycle time (more missiles used) and less tank.
