Ships & Modules

Rupture or stabber might be pretty okay.

Thrasher

Allow me to present, the most successful Minmatar ships for the RvB environment. This is based on a solo perspective, so don't fly the thrasher into fleets.

Slasher: I like EWAR

Highs:
150mm Autocannon II (x3)
Small Unstable Power Fluctuator

Mids:
Experimental 1mn Afterburner I
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler
X5 Prtotype Engine Enervator I
Balmier Series Tracking Disruptor

Lows:
Damage Control II
200mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I

Rigs:
Small Projectile Burst Aerator I
Small Anti-Kinetic (or explosive) Pump I
Small Trimark Armour Pump I

This fit pretty much kicks and frigates ass that depends of cap to run or has bad(ish) tracking. It cripples Slicers and makes blaster ships flail as you kite them at ~7500m with Barrage ammo. DPS is paltry (about 97dps non overheated with close range ammo) but with enough time it will chew through anything.

Thrasher: Lock pop it pod it

Highs:
250mm Light Artillery Cannon II (x7)
[Empty High Slot]

Mids:
Limited 1mn Microwarpdrive I
Faint Warp Disruptor I
X5 Prototype Engine Enervator I

Lows:
Gyrostabilizer II (x2)

Rigs:
Small Ancillary Current Router I
Small Projectile Collision Accelerator I
Small Projectile Metastasis Adjuster I

This Thrasher fit will absolutely demolish anything frigate or Dessy sized that makes the mistake of clicking approach. It can burn like no other and on my alt with her nav skills it tops out at around 1700m/s. The tracking is fairly good for artillery, and in the off chance that a frig gets into web range, simply apply it to him and burn away. A note on the web, keep it overheated at all times, because the extra 3km of range may just save you from a brawls frig like a Merlin or Incursus. Stay away from ships that are know for housing at least 1 tracking Disruptor. These include but are not limited to, Hookbill, Condor, Kestrel, Crucifier, and to a lesser extent, Slasher (many slashers are AB, Scram, Web, MSE).

Thrasher: 400mm Plate

Highs:
200mm Autocannon II (x7)
Small Unstable Power Fluctuator I

Mids:
Limited 1mn Microwarpdrive I
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler
X5 Prototype Engine Enervator

Lows:
Damage Control II
400mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I

Rigs:
Small Anti-Kinetic (or explosive) Pump I
Small Trimark Armour Pump I (x2)

This fit is a damn good brawler. That's about it. This thrasher is a nice and simple brawl fit. No bells and whistles attached, just gank and tank. Eats most brawl fit frigates but has an issue with scram kiting frigs, but you can't always have your cake and eat it too.

Now for something a little bigger,
Stabber: Get Stabbered

Highs:
425mm Autocannon II (x4)
Small Unstable Power Fluctuator I (x2)

Mids:
Experimental 10mn Microwarpdrive I
Warp Disruptor II
Small Capacitor Booster II (Navy Cap Booster 400)
Large FS-9 Regolith Shield Induction

Lows:
Tracking Enhancer II (x2)
Gyrostabilizer II (x2)

Rigs: For these you can either go with more tank or more speed, or a mix of both
•Tank: Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Medium Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender I
•Speed: Medium Auxiliary Thrusters I
Medium Polycarbon Engine Housing I (x2)

The Stabber is the king cruiser of kiting, but it often runs into cap issues with running its point, MWD, and occasionally Neuts. This fit solves that all by sacrificing some tank, for more stamina and gank. It can nearly perma run the MWD while injecting Navy 400 boosters, and can reach out and touch someone to 30km+ with Barrage. The DPS is paltry at around 230 with Barrage, but is a wee bit higher at 293 with RF Phased plasma (or EMP or fusion). Don't expect to kill anything quickly, but do laugh as they flail around trying to catch you. With the speed rigs fitted, it tops out at around a cool 2700m/s, or 2200 m/s with shield rigs. Your main prey of choice in RvB with this fit will be frigates or destroyers that have become separated from the pack, and the occasional solo cruiser. I really can't say enough how well this ship crushes destroyers, it just does. Stay farrrr away from anything with a scram or a web, becuase they spell death for your poor little Stabber.

I hope this helps and I hope you have good luck and kill many things with these fits.
Fly dangerous

Slasher and Rifter are very good choices indeed. I personally have had a lot of fun with the following too, it might give you some ideas...C:

[Talwar, Talwar PvP R]

Ballistic Control System II
Damage Control II
200mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I

Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler I
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
Limited 1MN Microwarpdrive I

Rocket Launcher II, Nova Rage Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Nova Rage Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Nova Rage Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Nova Rage Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Nova Rage Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Nova Rage Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Nova Rage Rocket

Small Bay Loading Accelerator I
Small Trimark Armor Pump I
Small Trimark Armor Pump I

CN Mjolnir/Inferno/Scourge: 174/205DPS @ 15.2km with 392 Volley
CN Nova: 218/256DPS @ 15.2km with 490 Volley
Nova Javelin: 175/205DPS @ 22.8km with 393 Volley
Nova Rage: 262/309DPS @ 12.7km with 590 Volley

EHP: 7.992 EHP
RESISTS: 66.0/44.8/36.3/23.5
CAP: stable @ 41.0%
SPEED: 290ms with 4.70s align. 1506/2114ms with 6.05s align when MWD is on.

The above projects a ton of DPS when flying in the outer scram/web ranges. Rockets cannot miss and the damage is also augmented by your capacity to immobilize targets (scram+web). The talwar also has a very nice damage type bonus against armor tanked ships (making this hull a good alternative for the Corax as a rocket brawler), as well as a MWD signature bonus that provides you with extra survivability when spiralling in to make a scram.

Kite at the outer skirts of heated web/scram range so that you can deter damage from ACs and blasters, and keep pounding with Rage rockets. Kills almost any frig/dessie it can catch.

Yes, but armor slasher is superior.

armor slasher?

Look at the one in my post above. You know the really long one.

I still dont see much difference between the two...

So top one is the one u linked, and bot is the one i linked:

What makes yours a "armor slasher" ?

The armor repairer, that's what :)

Id pick a Breacher before Slasher or Rifter anyday. Awsome Brawler with a nice tank. Also a fine kiter.

Also the Thrasher can be great for many things
