Edited by: Spiffers on 10/05/2006 06:20:30 I've searched a bit and been unable to find much help w/ that. There's plenty of PvP setups out there, but I don't really want 7x multis for PvE.
Working on raising security to -1.9 at least (only -2.3 atm, so not a huge deal), so looking at low sec ratting.
Any tips?
Note: I have Torpedo 4, Cruise 4. Area I'm lacking is gunnery... but I figure fitting a few small/med turrets into my remaining slots would help vs. smaller rats?

not true :-))
OP:
get cruise, med+light drones, sensor booster and as many racial jammers as you can for the rats you will hunt (I use 3 multi/3 racial). balistics and cap power relay in lows (or armor tank as backup to failed cycles).
it's ok for belt ratting, just needs some cald bs and signal dispersion levels to be decent. however it takes loooong to kill some targets. also you are completely vulnerable to player rats other than your npc sensor type. ------------------------------ if you want peace, prepare for war ... ------------------------------ Removed due to offensive content - Laqum

I've got Cald BS 4, so I can take advantage of that.
And, I can just set up a few safe spots in the systems I'm hunting in.. and the second I see a player, warp and pray. Hehe.

Laughful. And laughful config. No tank? Very, very funny. Why not hunt in belts in dread? Effect will be similar. One Raven is more effective than two Scorps.

Alright, so... I have heavies 4 and caldari cruiser 4. Should I go back to a Caracel for PvE and just keep my scorp outfitted for PvP?
Would a Cara really be more effective than a Scorp in ratting? Also, I can't afford a Raven right now, much less afford to insure + equip it.

no tank ? what do you think those 6 jammers are for or armor tank in lows? belt ratting in scorp is quite easy when done right. a raven will ofc be more efficient but that was not the question. and as the OP wants to improve his sec status, missions are out of question (I would never take a scorp solo on l4 missions, that's plain stupid). ------------------------------ if you want peace, prepare for war ... ------------------------------ Removed due to offensive content - Laqum

I rat in a caracal in 0.1 ... takes som skill but is not that hard.
a ferox would be the best solution :-) ------------------------------ if you want peace, prepare for war ... ------------------------------ Removed due to offensive content - Laqum

My setup (for my cara) is:
- 5 Malkuth Heavy w/ Scourge
- 10mn Afterburner - Med Shield Boost - Sensor Boost - 2 Shield Hardener
- 2 Ballistic Control
I swap out the heavies with assaults for L2 missions since it's mostly frigs. But, with lower sec belt ratting, it would probably make more sense to swap the malkuth heavies back in, no?

ok lets be totally honest who in the hell would pick a scorp over a raven for npcing... please ITs all about dmg and tanking.. and screw the jamming rats.. by the time you finish that 3 angle bs spawn i would have take out twice as many. Yes u can use a scorp for pve but its more suited to pvp.. Do u see people using Blackbirds for ratting... its the same!!! people would rather use a carcal.. Anyone whos telling u otherwise prolly thinks Ford doesnt mean Fix or Repair Daily. as for frigs.. m8 just use lights.. save those highs for vamps and sieges.
