Hello,
I'm currently in a Maller that I'v been useing for the past 2 weeks. My current setup was put together from the only Maller setup post in the sticky.
High:
5x Focused Medium Pulse Laser I
1x Medium Nosferatu I
Mid:
10MN Afterburner I
'Langour' Drive Disruptor I
Fixed Parallel Link-Capacitor I
Low:
1x Medium Automated I Carapace Restoration
2x Capacitor Power Relay I
2x Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane I
1x 400mm Reinforced Crystalline Carbonide Plates I
I really like this setup for ratting. I can eaisly take 2 BC (125k bounty I think) spawns in 0.3 system. The only proublem I have with this setup is that I found out today I and open to being killed by pirats. Now, for a little story.
I was ratting in a belt in 0.3 sec, watching local for low sec people to come in. I see a new guy come in, I check his sec status and it's 4.4 or so. I'm like, "Ok, no proublem. He came for some other business or something." I keep ratting, and about 5-10 min latter this guy shows up in my belt that I just cleaned out and he's flashing red. My first reaction was to hit my warp to a safe spot I made earlyer, before I even click the "Warp to" he's targeted me and I get a message "You are prevented to go into warp blah blah". Ok, that was expected. I then decide that if I cant run, I might as well try to fight. Try to target, wait a sec or 2. "Why the heck an't I locked yet?" Try again, nothing. At this point I just gave up and I noticed that he asked for 5 mill in local. I remembered that the last market value for a Mauller is 8 mill, so I figure I got a deal.
Anyways, to the point. What should I change in the above setup so that I can some how survive something from the above from hapeing again while still being able to kill the rats with about the same speed/ease of tank as I can now.
Thank you and sorry for the long post,
Keshi

Thanks

he can't be flashing red with 4.4 sec status. It must have been another guy. You probably couldn't lock on him because he had Sensor Dampner or a Jammer on you.
Can't really do much against a skilled pvpier in a Maller. Plus pvp setups are fundamentally different from ratting setups that you would have trouble finding one that would do ok in both, unless you're flying a battleship that is, but then again you're going to lose a lot more money if you fly Battleships.

Just get rid of those 2 Capacitor Power Relays and place couple of wcs instead. I believe that will be enough to escape from a single enemy.
It really seems strange that you need so many cap devices: T1 lasers, especially pulse ones, do not consume so much.

Of course someone can be flashing red and +4.4 sec. He/She just has to have attacked someone and they'll flash red for 15min. As for the setup, I'd fit rat specific hardeners instead of the EANMs. I would also consider replacing the unnamed T1 AB with perhaps a named one or even T2 (very low skill requirements for a big increase in performance). If possible, I would try and fit an 800mm plate in there instead of the 400mm as well.

Thanks for the replys. I put together my setup from this post here. I saw that every setup had 3 cap recharge rate increas mods and with them I can turn on my armor rep for a while and not worry too mutch about my cap. I think I'll try takeing off the 2 cap boosters in my low slot and puting wcs in there and seeing how bad my rechage rate is.
I had orginaly planed to use this ship on missions and I did not know what rats I would be faceing, so that's why I got the Adaptive Nano Membranes. Recently my corp moved to a area that had really crappy agents so I think I'll grab 2 rat hardeners instead.
Thanks again for the replys,
Keshi

For low sec ratting, a Crusader is excellent imo.
4x dual light pulse IIs(or named dlp Is)
1x 1mn AB II, 1x 7.5km Scrambler
1x SM armor Rep II, 2x CPR, 1x HS II
Works like a charm against .1+ rats, Ive taken on dual 175k BC spawns + 4x frigs and 900k Commander Cruisers Spawns + 4x Frigates.
Also a good pvp setup if you ever want to go pirating at the same time :D Or you can always just run away with that setup.
