With this fit i have 300km targeting range and missile flight range at 306km, would it work for ratting angels or do i need to have more tank? Open to any suggestions/changes/overhauls of the fit :)

A few things:

1. Targeting range is capped at 250km. Anything greater than that showing in a fitting tool is bogus.

2. Your 4x damage mods are all stacking penalized, meaning that each module after the first provides successively less benefit. Your fourth BCU, for example, only provides about a quarter of the benefit of the first. That RoF rig you slapped on counts as a fifth bonus so it is pretty well worthless aside from making your launchers take up more CPU.

I get what you're going for, but I think you pushed it too far. I would replace one of the BCUs with an iStab or a nanofiber (makes for quicker getaways and reduces time transiting between belts), reduce your number of sensor boosters to to get you to about 150km lock range and add some semblance of a tank in the slot(s) you free up, and replace the RoF rig with a flare catalyst rig.

If you're still interested in going for a full 250km range-tanked ratter, I would suggest a rail Naga. Your paper DPS will be less and you lose the MJD ability, but instant damage likely means far less time killing each target and your base agility/speed will be higher. The hull is also considerably cheaper and, more importantly, a far less appealing target to hostiles than a CNR.

Good hunting.

Thanks for your answer, I changed the fit and have been trying it out, works pretty good actually :) warping to havens at 100km, mjd out another 100 and start nuking them down, took some getting used to, to not waste missiles on ships that are dead already but after a couple of hours im getting 12-18mil isk a tick with it, without ever getting hit by anything(the reason im still using 4 bcu´s is because i needed an extra volley of missiles without it on some bs´s)

As a regular of the Crime and Punishment forum, I feel compelled to point out to you that there are folks who take a particular interest in perusing this forum looking for people like you asking for advice on decked out nullsec 'ratting ships and hunting them down using locator agents and cloaky probe ships. This explains the emphasis in my post about suggesting you try doing this in a cheaper ship.

You just broadcast to the world that you fly a very expensive, non-PvP fit ship in Angel nullsec and also described your particular MO as well. A quick check shows that your killboards are also largely red. In other words, you just painted yourself as a perfect target.

I wouldn't be surprised if you get some...company in the near future.

Have fun 'ratting....

Oh not me, I haven't set foot in nullsec for years.

But be he bait or blaster fodder, I expect that there will be some good times had by someone in his near proximity.
