Hey all looking for some advice for a SNI fit for null sec ratting, was going to take an active tank CNR but figured the SNI has the better tank and less risk of needing to warp in/out from hubs

any advice welcome especially with the rig selection etc

Active tank it, that allows for rigor rigs which help you apply your dps a whole lot better. The real answer is ofcourse "Get a CNR as that will do more damage and you don't need that extra tank anyway" but here's a fit that should work fine.

No, it won't. Use a std raven. In fact, use a bomber.
