Hey guys, first post on here. Its time for me to go to 0.0 for a ratting expedition, but i need something cheap, fast and durable. And preferably Amarr, though Gallente is OK.
This will be in Angel space but its a long flight down there and I dont think a BC would make it...was thinking along the lines of an Arby, but would like to know any good cruiser ratting setups you have.
Thanks for your time.

I am not familiar with Amarr ships, but I will say that Gallante has a LOT of good ships you can rat with. For 0.0 I'd go cruiser size. I won't be so bold as to give you a loadout, but I can give you some advice.
Don't be afraid to carry two setups, one in your cargo hold for when you get there, and another just to get there in the first place.
A cloaking device is your BEST friend and will often save you from gate camps and asshats.
Be aware that warp bubbles can pull you OUT of mid warp and can suck you AWAY from the gate you are landing on. In either case, the cloaking device is your bestest buddy in the whole galaxy.
Don't forget your ammo either :) If it has a SAVE button...I'm not interested. |

Are you suppose to be ratting where you are going to rat? I know alot of people say cruiser size, but BS is okay also. Just get a friend to scout in a ship ahead of you and do it not during peak times. Domi is a great ratter, so is all of its little brothers, Myrmi, Vexor, and Ishtar. Just drone boats of different sizes. Here is a general domi set up.
[Ratters] Armor EM Hardener II Armor EM Hardener II Armor Thermic Hardener II Armor Thermic Hardener II Large Armor Repairer II 'Protest' Large Armor Repairer I Damage Control II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II Omnidirectional Tracking Link I Salvager I Salvager I Small Tractor Beam I Small Tractor Beam I 425mm Railgun I,Antimatter Charge L Drone Link Augmentor I
Ogres, Hammeheards, and Wardens or change for the needed damage type. That tank can pretty much perma run with CCC's and another cap recharger.

If you got shield skills, then a vexor tanked with two LSE IIs, damagecontrol and rest of the low slots full of shield power relays. Was playing around with that on sisi and tanked a triple angel throne spawn. And the best thing is that your shields reload while you're cloaked in a safespot, no need for repping.
This works with the arby too, but vexor can push out more dps with right drone setup and medium guns if you got good skills for it.

My recommendation if you are setting up camp in Angels space is to train into a Drake or a Hurricane. In fact if ratting is your thing, both of these ships can do it almost anywhere. Selectable damage type is the key. The Harby is an awesome Sansha/Blood Ratter, but I really would not use it anywhere else. With the hurricane Phased plasma works well on just about everything except Angels, and you have Fusion for them. Drake is nice for the same reasons. Personally I don't like ratting with drones. I prefer to warp in gank the BS's and GTFO.
I trained for about 6 days to get into a harby to rat sansha, and it was very effective. If you already have gun skills, training projectiles to 3-4 and training to cruiser 3 (Enables BC) in minmatar does not take long.
Sorry the sacrilege is a good plan too, but the build above is wayyyyy overtanked.

blaster Harpy. Never met an Angel spawn I couldn't take (including triple Seraphim). Bring lots and lots of Void S though

I'm a fan of the Sacrilege. The t2 resists will match up very well against angels.
Otherwise, imo, find yourself something you can shield tank.
