I guess people miss the niche role, which I use it for quite well. Its a great nurse for fleet PvE. I fly both the Fleet tyohoon and the RS. The Phoon has way better numbers, but only completes missions a few percent faster than the RS. But the RS is bitchin in C3/4/5 wormholes where you need a cap budyy, healing, and moderate DPS.
Its WAY overtanked for L4 missions, yes, but L4 missions aren't the only PvE in the game.
And loosing any pirate faction battleship in a mission is shameful, not just th4e RS.

Currently, the Dominix can happily MJD away and snipe from afar, while a Rattlesnake pilot cannot project drone damage beyond 108Km, and that's with 2 x T2 Drone link augmentors AND E-war drone interfacing V trained.
Fitting more DLAs in a Rattlesnake implies NOT fitting a full rack of launchers. And I'd feel pretty stupid fitting two or three unbonused launchers on anything and pretending they are useful.
A drone control range bonus would increase the Rattlesnake's usefulness dramatically, putting it right back at the expected level of performance for an expensive pirate BS hull. It doesn't even need the tracking bonus of the new Domi.
It just needs a slightly better drone damage projection, in my opinion. Hardly a game-breaking advantage.
The Dominix is terribly overpowered at the moment, using it as a benchmark is bad.
The 50% velocity bonus should be split in half with a ROF or explosion radius bonus to bring it up to par with other pirate ships.

Quote:No. It's not terribly overpowered. And its damage projection potential I mentioned was there BEFORE the changes, by the way.
Its the most overpowered ship in the game ATM.
The damage projection was not there before they changed the damage projection, that statement is ridiculous.

Or explosion radius & explosion velocity (see a few posts up).
Its really a great ship. There is no other "Jack of all trades but master of none". People just get pissed about the "master of none" part because they are min/maxers.

Vindi chewed everything, Bhaalgorn was a little jackass, Nightmare did the same, couldn't hit the machariel with jack, and against another rattler it was a brickfest. I want the rattlesnake to be useful and fun for pvp but that stupid worthless velocity bonus can be so much better.
Because solo PvP in pirate faction battleships gets chicks.

Look at this post ^^...
My mach is lackluster with average mods compared to what it is with good mods. So is my TFI. I recently broke the 3 up and took the RS to Caldari space to run my kill everything missions that the Tengu doesn't blitz. And when I put an ACS on it and re rigged it it sucked in comparison (to a 3 slot deadspace tank). Short story long, you can't compare faction/deadspace/officer fits to vanilla fits when comparing ships. When you "bling out" the RS for PvE it is absolute beastmode 2nd only to the Mach. It completes missions/complexes/anomalies in the same time or less as the TFI. It has better projection of slightly less DPS.
Every ship cant be good at solo PvP, but ppl are mentioning the Balghorn like its a good solo PvP ship? Apples oranges much? RS not a good gang PvP ship? Are you kidding?
All in all I think the Domi will still be a bit OP after the nerf tomorrow, and the RS will be ever so slightly underpowered compared to the other pirate hulls, but right on the money for the price.

The skinny is simply that if you do like the Snake, the Scorp offers more. The rattlesnake is quite possibly one Ship that should really be looked at and rebalanced.
Show me your 1300 DPS Navy Scorp please. Thanks.
