Out of curiosity, why are you using a rattler? And specific reason?



The 'name' rattlesnake make's it cool alone. min/max is so relative when you're playing EvE, especially if you pay out of pocket and are actually enjoying the game and not worrying about your min/maxed isk/hr


I approve of this playstyle. Its good for the rest of us.

Two things that might help.

1. Do not use this ship until you are skilled for T2 Cruise Launchers and T2 Sentry Drones.
2. Fitting a propulsion module will help at mitigating damage away from you/your drones. A MJD fits setups like this very good.


T2 Cruise add very little DPS to Rattlesnakes. They're drone boats, T1 Cruise is fine. If you compare the DPS gain vs training time for T2 cruise, you'd be far better off maxing your drone DPS.

And yes, T2 sentries are great, but the ship works fine with just T1 while you train for them.



"T2 Cruise add very little DPS to Rattlesnakes." - With great skills they add a nice amount to bs and Bcs . Your 100% right. Drones skills are what matter and missile skills are superfluous. Most ships in the rattler you never even fire missiles at , your drones destroy them before missiles would ever reach. Thus the greatest weakness of the rattler is discovered. (But this is because your popping those small targets so quickly so thats good). I often send my missiles on a bc while taking a frigate, pop it, then switch drones for the combined damage.

Here is probably the best i have seen for l4s

Quick notes 4 DDAs is what you want, mjd for sure, Fed OMNIs are cheap and very good (2-3 of these is very nice), that ionic rig provides they extra range you need while keeping a mod slot open .

Fun story: Faction Sentries do

a) have significantly more hitpoints
b) 5% better tracking

at the cost of

c) 10% or so less dmg
d) less range (Which is almost totally irrelevant since you're using 3 Omnis.
