Crellion is right, aside from the golem thing (golem is much, MUCH better than the rattler for missions).
If you're going back to salvage with a second ship, by the time you've warped back to the mission you've already lost the advantage you gained by that fraction more dps you did with the mach. By the time you've looted and salvaged the mission the guy in the vargur has now burned halfway through his next mission, and is now beating you in terms of isk/hour. |

I've got to question whether you've played with rattler fittings since the advent of the drone damage augmentors and ancillary shield boosters. It can get downright scary now. Drone damage mods take the drone rattler to like 700 DPS, which is still awful. If you put torps on it then you've got the same problems as a golem, but no TP bonus and less DPS.
If you want a ship that makes good use of the drone damage mods, fly a navy domi (I think I got my mission fit to 1400 DPS with rails but I'd have to double check that) |

I get 800 dps with drones and t1 cruise missiles (crappy missile skills), so your numbers are way off. Furthermore, that dps can be projected 50km with garde's w/ excellent tracking and no loss of dps due to falloff. Can a Machariel boast that? The 700 was without missiles. If you had perfect skills, and went full on gank fit, you'd get about 1300 out of a rattler and 1400 from a golem, and the golem will outperform it in the end because of that target painter bonus.
Mind you outperforming the rattler in missions isn't hard, a regular t1 domi can do it with some mild faction bling, |

I'm still toying with the exact fit, but THIS is what I'm currently using, and in most missions I'm not even turning on the tank <3 |

1) I use ogres because I prefer them to sentries most of the time; I like the option of moving around while I shoot things. People get way too obsessed over using sentries for my taste. If it really bothers you that much I could post another picture with a set of gardes (where the damage goes down by a whopping 25 DPS)
2)The ~50km range with drones is plenty since most of the time the rats you'll use these in are within that range anyway.
3)Please share your 1300 DPS fit that includes a viable tank, multiple omni links, and the loss of a gun for a drone link augmentor |
