I currently fly Dominix to hunt rats in 0.0 and am wondering if there is somthing better. I like the Domi setup because my tank is currently unbreakable by the normal rat spawns.
I have decent gunnery skills, but large T2 rails are about the only t2 thing i can not use yet.
I am considering training for another race of BS just for rat hunting. My current skills would make it relatively short training until I can fly Amarr bs (with lvl 4 skills). Would this be better than training for t2 large railguns?
My alt is training for raven, because they are supposed to be uber rat hunters...
Which BS do you favor for 0.0 belt rat hunting? What setup?

usually raven, because of the ability to pick damage types

Raven against most stuff, although Apoc does better against Bloods/Sanshas due to it's naturally high EM resistance.

I've trained up all races BS, and given them all a go out in the belts.. My favourites are below:
1. Megathron (Blasterthron).. I love this ship for ratting, my tank runs 24/7, bounce from NPC to NPC at almost 1300 - 1500m/s, and 1300dps tears the NPC apart. 2. Raven.. Usually with an armor tank, and an MWD.. Again, good tank that runs 24/7, damage isnt bad. If something starts doing more damage than you can tank, just get the transversal up with the MWD :)

if you got the skills a domi is very good at killing rats
at low sp though raven is better since it takes alot of skills for the domi to deal decent dps
The only good fix is a DEAD fix |

Mind sharing that mega blaster setup you have?
My domi skills are not top notch yet (note: just returned to EVE after a year away) because I don't have t2 heavy drones yet.

Dominix is good cause you dont have to worry about restocking drones if you do it right.
Apocalypse is good because it tanks amazingly well and never runs out of ammo.
Raven probably kills fastest, but missiles go fast.. ------ FPDOMS MINER KILLBOARD |

Serpentis, beggs for either a Dominix or an Ishtar.
and Why?
Gallente space > Serps > Thermal damage > gallente drones = ogres = No ammo. Ishtar has great drone bonusses, can tank serpentis with a small armor rep. And is fast to pick up loot. Dominix = the battleship version of the Ishtar.
Train for drone skills when using the Dominix as you are. They don't need ammo.

I like my Dominix. I rat against Sanshas, so I put heavy beam lasers in the highs and proceed to rat and rat and rat until my cargo hold is filled with loot. No ammo requirements 4tw!

Dominix is one of the best ratter BSs in the game atm. Next imo is an armageddon then Tempest. Ravens can pwn but they use missiles up fast like Jim says and they also cost a fortune.

blasterthrons are awesome for ratting.
setup:
7x modal neutrons, 1x tractor beam,
mwd/web/2x cap recharger 2s LAR2, 2x n-type hardeners (kin/therm for serp), 4x cap power relays
you can run your LAR2 100% while bursting the mwd and you can run your guns the whole time. use Ogres against serps.
Even better: Vindicator =] it's amazing what that ship can do w/ a mwd cap bonus and an extra mid slot.

Probablly cruiser nuetrons.
Which is kinda pointless since BS Electron blasters do more dps... ................. |

7x Neutron Blaster Cannons, MWD and LAR fits with Engineering V alone. Not enough pg left for anything else though.

Until you see what a Dominix and Armageddon can do with less isk and SP investment.

Learn large rails and take the mega when you're feeling like being there all the time and switch to domi for semi-afk ratting.
Those two are the best against serpentis, raven included.

Raven.
Anyone who says different is just being retarded or contrarian.
Raven will always be best for this simple reason: NPCs have a weakest resistance to ONE damage type.
Raven can do full damage to that singular damage type, and do it very well. It will outdamage a tempest or a megathron or an apoc.
It's very simple.
Raven. Every, single, time.
End of story,

Apocalypse agains any rat that is weak on EM or Thermal. Reason, no need for ammo.
For missions or hunting in fatory system, Raven is strong. My pick depends totally on situation.

Even when considering ammo, Raven beats Apocalypse. The time it takes to move a giant secure can to a system full of cruise missiles is irrelevany, since:
1) it requires little time to do proportionate to how long you will NPC, and
2) It's not like the Apocalypse doesn't have to drop off loot anyways.
As I said. Raven always is better.

ok.. we have established that raven = pwn, and that domi is decent...
now... what would best compliment a raven for team rat hunting? I'm thinking that fit raven with torps and 1 or 2 tractors, then a geddon set up for medium/short range gankage...
Plan - warp raven in and get agro, start pwning BS rats, warp geddon in at 15km, pwn frigs, then help pwn bs rats

I would say
dominix - good tank, no ammo, can shoose damage type raven - good tank, can choose damage type apoc - good tank, no ammo, damage depending on rats (but can always fit rails if needed)

tempest - reason
sniper setup - warp in at 100 insta pop all frigs and cruiser take 2-3 volleys if there tough trash the bs's move on - never get touched
if a hostile shows up in local you can just warp to safe and use scanner to try to see if he's at a gate and maybe if it's your lucky day kill him too

serieusly dont use more than 1 bs for ratting, its so damn easy to rat that killing them alone gives you: 1. more isk/h 2. all loot 3. not having to wait for that other guy _________________________________________________
