Have no clue how to run projectile ships
Ac, gyros, te, 2/3 low slot + rig armour tank if you lack shield skills otherwise shield. Falloff with t1 ammo will be greater than your targeting rang iifc. There's no benefit in a tiny increased in targeting range for a ship so capable of dictating range. More importantly it only reduced your applied dps.

Uh yeah thats deffinitly not any fit id use for a machariel. 800 ACs, Auto targeter, gyros and TEs in the lows, Double invuls, shield booster, shield boost amp and an AB (or an extra shield boost amp in place of the AB, or perhaps a mission specific hardener).
Lol, I'll take these comments on the chin. However, I interpreted the request being for 'snipe' usage and Arties on a PVE ship are not unheard of.
Anyway, so my point is not lost: The rig sucks in the face of modules that provide the same bonus. Avoid it.

Autocannons work in falloff (currently my falloff is only 62km), what im asking is since its possible to kill things from very very far away with Autos, if its worth the slight drop in shield hp for a chance to lob a few rounds downrange a bit earlier.
At your optmial+falloff range (~65km?) you will be doing 50% damage, dropping to zero at somewhere around ~125km. For killing frigs and cruisers this is probably fine since they will typically only take a few shots to pop. However, if you are looking to kill battleships frequently beyond optimal+falloff range then it's probably not worth it. You would do better to close the distance and kill the ships faster.
It probably is worth being able to kill some of the smaller ships earlier and may speed up your mission time. So long as you are tanking around 500dps to the mission resists it's probably a worthwhile gamble.
