considering you can 0.0 rat in a cruiser, I think that any basic fitting from the sticky, or any fitting that sticks to common sense, will be plenty of overkill.

well getting it to work is one thing but getting it to work at max efficienty is another.
i trained command ships for the sole purpose of getting more isk/hour from ratting.
i checked the thread for the astarte and the RMR fittings in there are ancient and not specifically aimed at ratting sanshas in belts.
theres gotta be people out there with hands on experience?

Sansha = you want EM damage, hybrid guns = bad. Tanking them is easy on armor though.

Aye hence i figured a absolution might be a good id to train for(need to do amarr cruiser 5 and some gun skills).
For now i need to figure if the astarte or the sleipnir woud be the best and what sorda fitting that woud be with.

Sanshas are also weak to thermal, so its not all bad. Just use blasters and T2 EM drones (they do more damage against Loyals and True Sansha than thermal drones).
If I had an Alt I would probably post with it... |

Dual rep and a cap injector/800s might be better. ------------------- My opinions (ie, all of my posting here) are not my corporations. Nor should it be taken as such. |

Cap injector + ratting = nono. Only, and probably not even then, if you're ratting in a system with a station.

nah booster charges are mad to use those for npcing in belts:p
i tested the setup and it seems to work decently, since it can run the mwd pretty much non stop the fact that it has little range on the blasters compared to rails still seems to make it worth using blasters for the dps difference.
Now i wonder how a sleipnir woud perform? Anyone got experience ratting with one?

Do you really need the thermic hardener or could it be swapped out for a magstab.

Didn't see it was for ratting, silly me. Still, I can see the Dual reps being handy. The one might not be able to keep up, even with the bonuses from the ship. ------------------- My opinions (ie, all of my posting here) are not my corporations. Nor should it be taken as such. |

Just turn it on and go for it.
Assuming that your going to farm high end bs's only you could switch a web for another cap recharger and keep everything running sexy. Ive been doing this for gurristas and it works like a charm.

may sound weird, but eos with lasers and ogre 2s would be better due to no ammo usage.

Ammo is a complete non-issue for me, i got tons of minerals im not using from the loot i melt and i got a carrier to move ammo around when needed.
As for how much and what sorda reps i need. Im running 1 medium rep now non stop and that seems to just about be enough for tanking triple bs spawns. 1 small one woudent be enough, 2 mediums woud be overkill.
As for switching the thermic hardener for a damage mod.. dunno but im just barely repairing enough as it is. as the sanshas shoot with lasers with EM and thermal it coud get to dangerus to nerf the tank more.
The astarte setup im using seems to work, and the main flaw of the astarte as a ratting ship becomes apparent. It has a very crappy cap regen and is designed to cap injector tank (pvp not belt ratting).
Now i been looking at the sleipnir (i dont own one yet), but a guy told me that: 7 guns and a nos passive em hardener , large shield booster II, shield boost amp pdus for cap and some damage mods. Woud work very well. Because a lott of the shield tanking can happen passively and the sleipnirs high base resistances it needs little in the ways of tankign modules. I figured that since u need little tanking modules u can fit lotts of damage modules.
And say a sleipnir with 3 damage mods vs the astarte that needs to fit tons of cap relays and rechargers to sustain its tank, the astarte having more base dps from blasters might have less dps after applying 2-3 damage mods to the sleipnir guns? im not sure about the damage type the sleipnir does how it compares to hybrid guns though...

PVP setup works really well.... but basically, Blasters+MWD is the only way to go. Will make short work of an NPCs. -------------------------------------- ---"What's in your wallet?"--- "There are two kinds of respect, fear and admiration.... I'll take what I can get" |

if ammos not an issue
astarte
7x heavy neutron t2 antimatter ammo mwd, web, 2x cap recharger med rep, 2x passive rat type plates, mag stab / cpr
may be worth having jamming drones in drone bay against hostile players or hammerheads t2 if thats not an issue
rep amount rig and maybe cap recharge rig if you dont need a pg rig
resists should be high enough so 1 rep should easy be enough

If all your trying to do is get most isk's you can wouldn't it be quicker to just rat in your carrier?

I'd go for Sleipnir, easier to tank in that one while doing nice damage.
7x 720mm Howitzer Artillery II (Quake M) 1x Medium Diminishing Power System Drain I
1x Pithum A-Type Heat Dissipation Amplifier 1x Pithum A-Type Magnetic Scattering Amplifier 1x Pithum A-Type Medium Shield Booster 1x Invulnerability Field II 1x 10MN Afterburner II
3x Gyrostabilizer II 2x Power Diagnostic II
2x Core Defense Operational Solidifier I
87 EM/82 Thermal resistance. Pithum Booster ups your shield for 313 every 2.17 seconds if you ever get into serious trouble. Has about 309 DPS against Sansha Beast Lord (takes roughly a minute to down it at 15km range).

Edited by: Richard Villiers on 31/03/2007 12:10:53 7x t2 250mm Rails 3x t2 Cap recharger, t2 AB Corpum EM/thermal passive, EANM II, DCU II, corpum med rep, best named cap power relay
86 EM/Thermal resists, cap-stable (35 cap/s needed, 42 cap/s recharged), about 280 dps VS beast lords while not having to go close-up (36km optimal with Antimatter ftw). Switch rails for Neutron Blasters for extra damage (310 DPS vs beast lord), but then you'll want MWD instead of AB as well and cap won't be stable anymore (it'll invert to 42 needed/32 recharging per second). Corpum rep on Astarte = win. 643 HP every 9 seconds.
Edit: put 2 repair time rigs in on top to go crazy (643/6.5 secs) _____

In the case of sansha ratting, this is wrong.
Feel free to use cap injectors; The reason for this was when I used to rat sanshas, pretty much any and all ships in 0.0 drop cap boosters, be whatever size they are.
When I noticed that, I fitted one injector, and it just worked wonders. Free'd low slots (no need for cap relays). Every 2 out of 3 kills would get me 10 boosters of whatever size, i'd keep a few, and would keep the injector on constant use, so many were the boosters.
...who of course promptly went bat****, flipped out and killed some people. |

Ratting + blasters = meh, the only rats you can rat with blasters imo are Angels (not sure about serpentis).
All other rats stay at various ranges, so efficiency-wise rails would be faster. Since you don't have to get in range.

Serpentis + blasters work very well. They stay reasonably close, and with a webber it isn't much trouble.
Guristas + Blasters doesnt. Not because of range, but because they have high jamming strength VS Gallente ships, in a Deimos I spent more time jammed than firing, eventually just went back to using alt + raven. -----

I used to do it in a brutix with t1 guns. You dont NEED em and thermal.
