op since rattler is not gonna roll back and not many any other options....


have you even tried active tank rattler? I found the switch nice. Lose that LSE, SPR and whatever combo of CDFE/Purge you liked and that sig radius reduction might work out better.

With the light and medium focus you will be moving around a bit I imagine so you get some attempt at sig tanking with your speed tank. As best as a BS (not a mach bs lol) can do this anyway. You should see incoming missile damage drop at least. Passive rattler gets hit harder for sure. At some point your aren't even burst tanking that much really when incoming dps starts to get cut down.


And with the lost SPR's you can split BCU and DDA. While not your old bonus...them lights and mediums will hit pretty hard still with DDA and I am assuming high skills.

Or come in at range and blap the frigates. They fly in straight, ergo they melt even to bouncer at range if you did nothing much to fix tracking.

Since you like torps not having what I am guessing was the usual 2/1 split of purger and cdfe you got the room for the missile range rigs.


You can find a few 3 slot rattler tanks, decent ones, that will even get the room for 2 paints of so desired. Not tanky enough go 4 slots and see what mids you can drop. Passive rattler was not much on room for paint to begin with...again active might be up your alley here.


Seems you don't like change, don't know that history. But barring a surprise ship later this month...time to let it go is looking real good about now.

I am letting things go. I've chosen not to renew my sub that expires at the end of this year.

I spent a lot of time training for the Rattlesnake because that is the play style that I wanted. Apparently, there is no other ship that supports that unique play style that was taken away from the Rattlesnake.

Changing the Rattlesnake so drastically, removing so much of its versatility when it was not considered OP was an extremely callous way to treat your customers. I am saddened and greatly disappointed by the unnecessary removal of this unique playstyle that I had set out to master over 3 years ago.

If I had to guess, I'd say that 90% of things people complain about on forums (or hell, in general) is really personal failings/quirks that they are trying to blame on something external.
