Hello Guys i am a new player that would like to live in nullsec and since i can only fly up to minmatar cruisers i would appreciate if someone could suggest me a nice fit and tell me also the isk/hour ratio when ratting in nullsec..My alt is running incursions but i cant always wait For queue (running with Vallhalaproject).

none of the minmatar cruisers are particularly good at ratting I'm afraid

Maybe scythe fleet with heavy missiles but you're better off just training for gallente cruisers and getting a Vexor Navy Issue if you want to make significant Isk

This: The ratting heirarchy (in general this is true but some can debate specifics).

Vexor -> Vexor Navy -> Ishtar (unless a specific resist fit is needed, the Vexor Navy is superior due to lower cost, assume you use heavies for both) -> Rattlesnake -> Carrier (still highest tics for one toon even after changes)

A mach can be used in many cases and the Vindi is hard to beat depending on the rat types.

Don't know why people keep pushing larger ship class over what is usually asked for.

The Loki is a very good Minmatar gun ship for ratting and it's also a Cruiser class hull. Granted it's a Tech 3 Strategic Cruiser but that makes it even better for operating in Null Sec space.

Since you're already training for Minmatar, it wouldn't take long to get that ship class trained.

If you can fly T2 and are flying against Sansha or Blood the Muninn is pretty good.

The Resistance Profile of Minmatar ships is very good against EM/Therm but pretty rubbish against anything else.

I used to rat in my stabber out in provi for a while.

Pretty easy tbh. Run the anoms as well. (can't remember unto what grade though.)

All race have viable ratting ships. Or ship for any role TBH people rally od just need to remove their blinkers when it come to what you can do in eve!!
