I can handle myself in a 0.5 system with just some hornet drones in my retriever when I am mining. Now the question I have is this:
Me and some members in the corp I'm in (who are also newbies) want to do more mining ops, but the corp only goes out twice a week. I want to help these guys out and protect them at the same time. But, will the NPC Rats become more difficult to kill if there is a larger fleet of us? I don't want to tell them I can offer protection and than it turns out that the NPC rats are way too much of a challenge and my corpmates ships are all destroyed.
Thanks for the help and please dont laugh about me stating that 0.5 rats could kill me lol

If you guys stay in a 5.0 system, the rats will be the same.
Rats will be different when you change security systems. Rats in a 8.0 system are easier then a 5.0 system. Rats in 0.0 are quite harder to deal with. But even a propper tank on a hulk can tank nullsec rats.
So it doesn't matter how large your fleet is

Edited by: minx trader on 27/05/2009 11:44:56 i pop rats in null easy with a curse, its only a cruiser at the end on the day, your be fine in .5 and rats dont get harder or spawn quicker if in a fleet
except null officer spawns, they are a nightmare

Run a level 4 mission. If you can tank 3 or 4 battleships and cruisers you can tank .0 rats.

There is no way you can tank 0.0 rats with a Retriever. It can barely survive in lowsec... remember Retriever is one of the crapiest tanks over Eve Online
Now a Hulk is a different story, it can survive 0.0 with good skills and drones.

if you are not sure you can tank the rats start in 1.0 and work your way down to 0.5 (don't go lower or you will be wtfpwned by players or NPC) the moment you can tank the rats in, for example 0.6, stay there and mine all day long... _________________________________________ Symbaloo - start simpel http://www.symbaloo.com/ |

With a Retriever and no shield booster, I found it best to send my drones to attack as soon as the rats were in range (20km + scout drone range bonus). This way I could easily handle 4 rats at a time in 0.5 systems. The Retriever would take too much damage if I waited for the drones to defend me.
