How much is this Spaceship? With all these modules combined I do know that the Hull of a Rattlesnake is around 500 - 530 million isk.

Rattlesnake
Hi-Slots
Cruise Missile Launcher II x4
Drone Link Augmentor I x2

Med. Slots
Large Shield Extender X3
Caldari Navy Mag. Amps x2
Caldari Navy Heat Amps x2

Low Slots
Shield Power Relays X6

Modification/Rigs Slots
Large Core Defence Field Purger I x3

With this fitting exactly, though what's the most pricey Fitting?
No Officer fittings please, I don't want to be a target of Pirates. =P

Not very expensive at all -- though if you're not expecting energy neutralization there's no reason not to use active hardeners. You'll get a significantly improved tank out of them. Just swap shield power relays with power diagnostics until you have enough capacitor to run them reliably.

And what exactly does 'not expensive' at all mean? I would like some numbers; since I am slightly going for a Rattlesnake in the future though right now I've been using my Drake for LV4 Mission Running since.

I also have this fit since I hate Blood Raiders, they are a pain in the ass with their NOSing; though lately I haven't ran into missions against them which is slightly weird.

I only use Active Hardeners on Rogue Drone Lv4s and Mercenary missions since those are slightly much more needed for Active Hardeners as I see it since they do a lot more Omni Damage than Passively Tanking; like I do.

Well, cheap by faction battleship standards. Aren't rattlesnakes selling for less than half what a Nightmare or Machariel will run?

Then again, you get what you pay for...Roll

Short answer is not much.

Long answer is go and do your own research. EVE is a game that rewards those who learn for themselves. Check contracts and see what the prices are. If you shop around you can get it all for less than Jita price.

The question is: Why would you want to use a battleship that is specialized in an enormous passive tank for Level 4 missions that don't require even half the tank that a rattler can field? If you just like the look of the ship and don't care about efficiency then that is an answer. Just don't give yourself the impression that the Rattlesnake is going to be some sort of mission running behemoth. This is especially true since you aren't using torps on it. It has a velocity bonus for missiles that enables it to run torps out to a respectable range.

So let me get this straight, you want to fly a Rattlesnake, but you're too lazy to look up the prices of the modules you want to fit it with? Seriously?

As another poster said, figure it out yourself. Stop being lazy.

Oh I was just asking a smart Economical Question, without being to lazy. Guess this community has a lot of Negativity to people who ask Stupid questions. Though it will take awhile to fly the Rattlesnake since I have a long train ahead of me since I am training every single Drone Skill even before I get the Skills to fly the Rattlesnake.

Though sorry with the rudeness of the post I made. I am slightly bored, though at least I have most of the equipment for the Fit just will have to buy the other equipment and I will be set for the Rattlesnake though it's too early to buy the Rattlesnake itself since I won't be able to use it til' Next year...

Also on the Torps, thing I dislike close range weapons for Missiles. I am a Long Range Barrage Type character.. since Heavy Missiles for a Drake is better than using HAMs... Even though the Rattlesnake does have bonuses to Velocity I enjoy the Cruise Missiles a little bit more.

Oh on another note; I am calculating all this up now by looking through the Market where I like mission running instead of going all the way to Jita to get everything. Even though Jita is cheaper, but I am looking for Convenience over non-convenience; of the matter. Sorry if this troubled your rage and yelling at me to stop being lazy. You are all great help I hope you enjoy your day, year, decades in Eve Online.

I've calculated it in the region of space I like to mission run it'll run me, 674,303,190.12 ISK for the Rattlesnake Battleship, just with Amarr Prices. >.>

People get bored of others asking questions that you can easily find out for yourself with some simple market/contract clicky clicky!

And as for the Rattler fit, you will need drones as these will be a nice chunk of your DPS, train for something Like Ogre II or T2 Sentries. You'll need drones for all the small stuff your torps can't touch. Otherwise you could end up in perpetually Warp Scrambled by Frigs.
Also perhaps loose some of the tank in the lowslots for BCU IIs, as others have said it has a super tank of which you only need to utilize about half of it to get the tank required for a lvl 4 mission.

Either way have fun with it, then when you get bored of it skill up for a Golem or any other Marauder which will eat your missions up.

Above all else have fun doing it. Smile

I already, calculated the price of the Rattlesnake Battleship, the Price of the Golem would probably a lot more... slightly more. than what I calculated for the Rattlesnake only 674,303,190.12 ISK while the Golem is slightly expensive... though I already have a ship classified as a better salvager than the Golem aka the Notics.

Nah, I enjoy how I fully passive Tank, though I probably need to grind some ISK, to get another CN Ballastic Control Unit if I feel like it. =P

I don't like using contracts I would just buy everything from; some of the Contracts are kinda out of my price range... or I want to spend on a Rattler.

Python Fitting Assistant (Pyfa), an alternative to EFT, gives you an automatic rough estimate of cost at current prices.

Thank you Barbelo Valentinian; that might help me in the future a lot more. Since I use EveHQ for all my fitting needs anyway. =P

In the time it took you to write the OP, you could have checked the prices for everything yourself. Not to mention checking the thread and writing more replies.

Sometimes my stupid question, leads me in different ways of getting what I want, and I got something very important something like Eve Fitter but better since it has Prices on everything. And looking things up is usually something I do after I sleep, but I need to do something else soon so that's why I stayed up to see what is the responses I get in posting this Topic. And seems I got what I predicted for posts.
