BC's are not very good for null ratting.

The Drake is probly the best of the bunch.

I started with Amarr ships and moved to Gurista and glad I did.

Amarr ships are used a lot in cap fleets so if you are going to Null and want to be in the big fights they might be a better option for you.

You will want to go to area where the NPC's are weak to EM/Therm.
Any of the BS's will do.
If you want to go to other areas of null the Armageddon will do better with the drones/missiles and help you with training if you move to Caldari/Guristas.

just let you know most of the items u need for BC are same one as Cruisers (medium weapons etc..).
Also for L2s I used the Arbitrator while I trained some drones skills and due to drones it got selectable damage as well.

Free tip,
there is a system called "Youl" in amarr space with Amarr navy station. if you do L2s there are 4 l2 agents + 3 L1 agents + 1 event agent + 1 storyline agent. all of them are security. great for the newer players.

A properly tanked Cruiser can easily do lv 3's. But if you're going to do lv 3's in a BC I would suggest the Harbinger as it has the damage bonuses. Shoot for this fit:

This will be a good starting point, and as you replace your tank/dps with T2 modules you should be able to do Lv4's with it as well, though really you want a BS for 4's.

i loved my passive shield tanked harby, it sounds so wrong but worked great for me. tight on cap, better choice might be 2 rat specific amplifier + 3 purgers out of cap reasons (4m20 up to 5m30)
