I struggled with keeping it whole, but agree that it is a better active or buffer tank (active probaby best). I switched to a Rattlesnake due to its insane tank.
I think most would say that the CNR is a better ship for this as it does better DPS.
I would actually like to find a really good use for the SNI I have (as it is not selling and about to drop off contract).
I would like to see ideas on what this ship is really best for - Seems like the CNR or Rattler both do things better.

No thoughts on the best use for the SNI?
Is it really viable beyond what the CNR or Rattler can do?
I really prefer this hull, but have not found a great use for it.
Anyone flying it to great effect?

Yea, you need a TP for anything smaller than a Battlecruiser and it bloody well cant hit small fast ships/drones worth crap. That is why I switched to the Rattler as I can deploy drones to cover just about any need.
Here was the fit I was running before I mothballed it (Have it for sale in Jita with rigs).

Quote: True dat. 1 shotting targets 100+km away is sooo nice.
Oh, the range on an SNI with Cruise is fantastic, no doubt. At 100+ you can pretty much sit and beat stuff to a pulp. However, getting to that range is kinda tough in missions where you get ACC gated to 0km.
At that range the Rattler can sit and just take a beating while it drone's stuff to death or the RNI can DPS it's way through the pack. The SNI tries to balance that between the two, and not that well.
For what its worth.

I tried it with torps, but my torp skills were crap and I couldn't fit T2 launchers. So my experience there was not good. Course that is a poor comparison.
I hear the Golum is much better for that though.
Also, and again this may have been a skills thing, but getting the SNI into range was not always that easy.
I am curious how a torp SNI did against small targets.
