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.

7x neutron blaster II (lotts of AM ammo)
2x cap recharger II
fleeting web
10mn microwarpdrive II (i was thinking of getting something like a gisti B type for some more speed)
1x medium armor repairer II
1x armor em hardener II
1x armor thermic hardener II
3x cap power relay (true sansha)
infiltrator II's
woud this be the right fitting to go with for the astarte ya recon?

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?

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...

When your done training for the Absolution come back to ratting sansha. Makes life easier.
absolution fitting?
6 x T2 heavy pulse with multi (and some long range ammo if spawn is far away)
1x 90% web
1x cap recharger II
1x 10mn AB II
1 x energized reflective membrane II
2 x energized thermic membrane II
2 x cap relay
1 x true sansha heat sink
This seems to have the cap hold at about 40% with everything running non stop.
Something i dont like about the absolution is its cap regeneration rate sucks bad. It seems to be completely uncapable of running a sustain dps / tank + mwd fitting.
The only sustainable setups seem to have to be with ABs.
