I'm recently back into EVE after a 1.5 year break. When I left I was sporting a nice -6.0 security status and I now need to clamor back into the realm of the legal.
I'm planning on ratting through low-sec space and I'm trying to maximize my time. I was planning on sporting a Wolf fitted as so:
[high]
4x 150MM Autocannon II
1x Rocket Launcer II
[mid]
1x 1mn MWD
1x Medium Shield Extender II
[low]
3x Gyro II
1x Co-Processor
This should give me sufficient DPS to take out pirate BS with some tank due to the shield extender.
I, however, keep hearing about how great the T1 cruisers are since the expansion. Is there a Rupture or Stabber fit that would be competitive to the Wolf? Wouldn't going to a cruiser considerably increase the chance of PvP since aligning and warping out is going to take longer?

I was planning on keeping the MWD in just to close distance quickly. The fast I can close, the faster I can kill, the faster I can get to the next system to find a BS rat to up my sec status.
Dibblerette wrote:Just a note, but belt ratting is often more dangerous and less lucrative than taking a bit of time to scan sites and run anomalies, but those tend to require bigger ships in lowsec.
Does fighting in anomalies do anything for my security status? (I've never bothered with them, so I honestly I have no idea!)

The fit the way it is now, maxes out CPU and power. Is it that wasteful to not fill a slot if I'm maxing those out? I'm really just trying to max out DPS. I'm planning on avoiding engagements with other players and hoping the single shield extender and speed tanking keep me alive. |

Alua Oresson wrote:If you are anywhere close to flying a stealth bomber I would go that route. You can pop a BS rat in a few seconds and be on your way to the next system. This also means that you can just cloak up at a gate with a camp and not worry about being tackled at all. Frankly, an assault frigate just doesn't have the DPS to pop the BS sized rats fast enough to be worth your time.
I'm weeks away from a bomber.
Hence, back to my original question - would I be better off running a Rupture with 425MM Autocannon IIs? (I'm still working on an optimal fit). |

Thanks all for the direct and pointed advice. So I've worked it out in EveMon and I'm 15 days to having a workable stealth bomber fit. (I knew I shouldn't have put off Electronics Upgrades V *sigh*).

PS did you have T2 launchers?
That being said it's another 21 days to Torpedos V. Is having a Hound with an 'Arbalest' Torpedo Launcher going to cut it in terms of DPS? |
