I'm kind of bored with my Rattlesnake and really want to hop into a ship that's more.. Interactive, I guess. I absolutely love the aesthetic of both the Rokh and Machariel and was wondering, which would benefit me in running Guristas Null sec anoms more?

I'm heavily into Caldari but can make room for the Mach.

Vindicator is pretty nice... You can use your Gallente BS skill that's already trained and all you'd have to train is Minmatar Battleship.

Vindi, unfortunately, has a bit too much of a price tag for me.

rat for an extra hour in the rattler and buy a vindi?

rokh is probably just a big step backwards, unless you want the safety of sitting 100km off and doing less dps than either your missiles or drones in the rattler.

I dunno that I'd want a mach for guristas space. that said it does a lot of deepz and will probably work alright.

or maybe change up your rattler fit. I feel like the rattler is micromanage heavy to get optimal dps out of. Then again with anoms you don't have to worry about most of the variability that the various missions will throw at you.

If, 'interactive' means slower, and more sketchy to survive for you, then use the Rokh.

I've never even flown a Mach, but I know it has to be better for PvE than a Rokh. Because speed and selectable damage.

What about a Navy Raven? Also kind of boring, but it has range and kills small stuff decently too.

You deff should try Rokh in full faction fit, that would give you the feeling you are looking for Bear

Well. I guess I'll farm up the isk and grab a Vindicator. It seems to be pretty magic for PvP and pve both. Thanks for the input, guys.

You've what? You seriously owe yourself a shot at a Mach. Cruiser agility and speed, high end of the BS spectrum damage.

Not necessarily for Guristas of course. But seriously, take one out and just get a feel for it. For at least a short time it made missions somewhat fun for me.

How can you ever get bored with an isk printing machine like the Rattler??

This seriously made me lol.
ok, I'll fit one up and give it a go. I have like, 50 ships in my hanger already, another one can't hurt. And, I should really have had one 5 years ago.

Confirming a Windicator works really nicely, but you'll need to spend a bunch of ISK to get the best from it.

Also god damb, it noms a hell of a lot of Null L. Make sure you have good ammo supply

The answer was in your Title. Obviously Mach since you should never use the Rokh for anything.
