note: I don't mind to completely refit my ship, but i can't pay for Deadspace or Officer mods.

if you need any more information please contact me :)

Thanks!

THATS PROBABLY FINE

THOUGH YOU SHOULD CONSIDER GOING WITH DRONE DAMAGE UPGRADES

INSTEAD OF BCUS

BECAUSE THE RS IS BONUSED PRIMARILY FOR DRONES

ALSO SOME SHIELD RIGS COULD MAYBE FREE SLOTS FOR MORE DAMAGE

ALSO I SUSPECT YOUR CAPSLOCK KEY MAY NEED SOME CHECKING

AS IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN POSSESSED BY SOME SORT OF IFRIT OR GREMLIN

If you're going to use CN launchers may as well go with faction BCUs and invul too.

Was going to help until:

1.) I spotted a teenager's abuse of the capslock button. Normal text would have worked just the same or even better.

2.) You don't need officer mods, faction will work. Saying you are too poor to use them while trying to fly a RS.......

Where are you running missions with this?

Alright let me share my "Lazy Arse Mission Muppet" Rattlesnake fit:

High
1 x Medium S95a Partial Shield Transporter
1 x Medium Remote Hull Repair System I
1 x Small Tractor Beam I
1 x Medium Remote Armor Repair System I
2 x Drone Link Augmentor I

Medium
5 x Large Shield Extender II
1 x Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
1 x Large Micro Jump Drive

Low
3 x Drone Damage Amplifier II
3 x Shield Power Relay II

Rigs
3 x Large Core Defense Field Purger I

Drone Bay

5 x Hornet I
5 x Hobgoblin I
5 x Valkyrie I
5 x Hammerhead I
5 x Salvage Drone I
5 x Warrior I
5 x Curator I
5 x Infiltrator I
5 x Acolyte I

WTF?

Notice something missing? That's right, no weapons. It's a drone ship. Drone ships don't need frikkin' weapons. Drop those sentries down and you can tag targets out to 60km away. Damage isn't godlike but c'mon - 60km! If I can target it, I can tell drones to shoot at it. Even if they're past 60km and I miss I still get their attention, and nothing is going to survive the gauntlet of fire running in from 60km to return fire range.

Plus Ammatar/Amarr space means fighting Sansha, and Sansha are vulnerable to EM, so it's actually the right choice for what I'm doing. Don't laugh, it works. Should something else come up on the mission list... well, we've got drones for that too. Every damage type, in fact. No need to go back for different drones. No need to go back for ammo. No need to go back for repairs when drones are damaged (if they've got even 1 HP left in hull I can repair them back to full health in the field). And when you're regenerating 200 shields per second in a inherent-shield resist ship odds are you will never need to repair yourself, either.

The key here is cheap & autonomous. No ammo, no repairs, no need to even go back for a Noctis. You can just surf from one mission to the next and only need to stop to empty the loot out of your cargo bay once or twice a day. If I put 5 mining drones in cargo I can even do half the "materials" storyline missions that pop up without having to switch ships.

So yeah, I turned my battleship into a recreational vehicle for the true space hermit. Suck it, Marauders.

Expect a visit from the GFMLLF (Goonswarm Faction Missile Launcher Liberation Front) in the near future

This will not end well.

If you arent yet sure if it will shield tank LvL4 missions, do yourself a huge favour and leave out the faction launchers.

I'd even go so far as to say leave em out anyway if you cant afford any deadspace tank, some DS stuff is fairly cheap.

The best rattlesnake fitting
