Hi, i've been ratting guristas anoms in a tengu and now i think its time to upgrade to a pirate battleship. a lot of corpmates say that rattlesnake is the best option, but i would like a solid opinion from veterans and forum warriors.

Thanks

Rattlesnake is good. Only issue is the travel time of missiles. Which actually work better on gurista since they're fast and slow. Plus if you deploy drones early enough then getting jammed is less of an issue.
Vinducator would be good as well.
Nightmare is kind of meh because of it's em damage.
Mach will do well enough with faction or t1 phased ammo. The t2 ammo is meh due to it's exp damage.

Rattlesnake is definitely one of the best choices. THE best choice I would say for Guristas ships. Would you like a fit/breakdown of how to use it?

Abraham you old dog you! Rattler works well as above. If you have the choice of anoms then Vindi is the fastest on the ones where the rats all spawn close, think its Rock Santums.

Either will do you well. Mach is also Mach so good for anything, but as above if situation is perfect then Vindi will get best ticks.

Rattlesnake is very good.

Smartbombing Macharial x3 + Vindicator makes for great ISK/hour.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

You would be looking for the good ship 'Friendship'.

Rattler at 75km+ with wardens, a sebo and learn what the jam ships are so you can get your wardens to shoot them first before you get jammed out. rapid heavies+ rigor + paint works decently against any frigs that get in close but the rattler has low max range on rapid heavies so YMMV.

Other good ships would be Domi/Ishtar because again, drones.

Oh for god sake man.

Just get an Ishtar. The goons have a fit that will perma-tank Sanctums and any solo hunter that tackles you while you're up at the local bar. Ishtar + T2/Caldari Navy Wasps.

rattler will do damn near 2x the dps of an ishtar, and doesn't cost too much more. Plus if you insure it it probably costs less.
