I've never looked seriously at the Gila and Rattlesnake, because they're primary drone with missiles as a secondary weapon, and I'm a missiles primary with drones as a secondary weapon.
I do have maxed drone skillz (all of them, as far as I recall, or if I'm missing one or two that'll only take 1-3 months to fix, not long in my perspective), though, and I'm thinking these new drone-damage boosting modules in LOW slots...
Am I on to something?
I shield tank, of course. Passive or active, although in my experience active works better for missions because it frees LOW slots for more BCS or - in this case - drone damage modules.
Are there any other shield-tanked drone boats I should be aware of? What about smaller hulles, like a drone frigate or detstroyer-sized drone boat? I doubt examples of the later exist, but I could be wrong.

No mention of Ishtar yet? 
The Ishkur could qualify too, I suppose. Don't have an awesome fit for it popping into my head, though... |

Shield-Gank Vexor
and thats basically all the viable shield-tanked drone boats out there.
PS: The Rattler can project 900 dps to 100km with Cruise + Bouncers with the new drone damage mod while still maintaining 3 Rigors, a TP, 2 Omnis and enough tank to run an L4. |

Honestly, I'm not sure why you'd bother doing anything with the cruise launchers on the RS now. Way too many slots wasted if you want to make them worth a damn. |

TBH I'd say that using the RS at all is a bit iffy. Navy domi (or even a normal one) will have much more DPS. |

That was the conclusion i came to after buying and fitting one. I also realize I was comparing the RS with decent skills to a NH with near perfect skills. I didn't realize how much the NH's speed tank was helping me (you know, because it has a sig radius close to that of a BS and doesn't move all that much faster.) |

looks like some basic market manipulation (and probably a good bit of increase from mineral prices). it keeps jumping up and coming down quickly. overall there has been a bit of an increase. Navy raven went from 350m to 550m, and the rattle went from 500m to 700m, same story for most of the other faction bs (although some have started to come down now)
either way meh, the rattle still isn't a great ship. I still think it should get 6 launchers, or change the special ability to something missile damage. then it would probably be one of the best mission battleships the 302 missile dps (t2 launchers, faction bcus, faction missiles) is just weak |

Suffers CPU issues. It's a good drone ship but might struggle to get those dmg mods on.

Nice.
Any idea how the Ishtar makes out?
=
Now me, I am wanting a Rattler, this is just more reason to buy. Only thing holding me back is that sleepers sometimes like to eat drones. I am not sure of how useful it would be in my primary environment, and I am trying to avoid hangar ornaments. |

Gila is better than ishtar (because slots/fittings and natural shield tank.
Rattlesnake better than domi because same bonus but +fittings +slots =better tank and +drone mods. If you play with sentry rig+missile rigs, ad Tp and you can for sure get out of some standard fit more dps than Domi.
Thing is that usually people tend to forget to use rigor rigs for cruise, and those are not an option if you mission with cruise, you need 2 to make those work properly. |

I'm sure if you officer/dead space fit it you can do better, but tell us where you mission so we can come and test that thing, mkay?
