The price speaks for itself.

Its cheap because demand is low.
Demand is low because overall its not that desirable.

It simply doesn't do enough DPS.

internet spaceships are srsbzns. Maybe you don't use the tank on the RS but some of us who undock occasionally do. When you say "in PvE" and really mean "in level 4 missions that I run" it makes me laugh.

internet spaceships

are serious business sir.

and don't forget it

Actually a T2-fitted RS can go up to 965 dps with rage torps and sentries, while keeping 489 omni-tank. The torp will, of course be utterly useless with the crappy range and the huge explosion radius.

A more reasonable LVL 4 runner fit would be to use Cruise launchers with standard ammo, in which case you get ~700 dps, which is OK for a semi-AFK T2 fit. Planning to multibox with 2 of these very soon (TM).

RS DPS comes from drones. As for price, it's about the same as a CNR. Just about right.

Why would one play a game that is not fun?

What we really need is low slot drone damage modules and suddenly the shield tank of the rattlesnake means that it can use its lows to increase drone DPS.


Which would end on a negative footing since it would force through a rebalance of general drone damage - as they already have an overwhelmingly generous damage-to-reach ratio (balanced by application limitations). If the damage modifier would be too weak, it would rarely get used and if it was competible as a standalone module it would make things horrendously powerful.

That aside, this thread isn't very interesting to me. On a general note, i bet you are going to have problem convincing all the budding empire enthusiasts of a change, but the best of luck to you in your attempts Roll.

IMHO the only problem with the rattler is its drone bay, should be bigger than the Gila's.
For the most part I find the Rattler to "feel" right for the Gurista's BS but my own play style makes my shy from BS's.
As is I'll always take the cheaper Gila over the rattler as I get as many drones, and lose the torps to get a faster hull which I prefer.

I wanted to paint my space ship red, but I couldn't find enough goats.
