Problem with pure EW ships are their crap damage output.
Also, as far as i understand, you're new and cant afford battleship losses, or t2 ships for that matter. Also, if you are both gallente and haven't yet invested much skills in other races, don't bother.
Therefore, to be able stand a chance against other ppl, i'd sugest you both get in BCs.
A Brutix is a really good choice if you want to be able to ***** some battleships without using one yourself.
Fit 7 Ions or Electrons with a singe magstab in lows, then a cap injector, tackling gearand MWD, and then see how well you can tank it using the remaining slots and power.
Play around and see if the damage output is high enough. Then add 5x Hammerhead IIs or 5x medium ECM drones respectively.
Now, time to add some EW, NOS and drones.
4x NOS (best ones have range of 12 km, just outside a 3x dampened average battleships locking range)
2x small neuts or small guns
3x Dampeners
1x MWD
1x cap booster w/800
2x MAR II
3x Armor Hardeners II (Exp, Therm, Kin)
1x DCU II
5x Ogre/Berserker IIs
Yeah, you guessed, a Myrmidon. No tackling gear kinda hurts, but the EW really does help put in those situations when neither of you can tank the victim's damage.
However, if your brutix got those ECM drones i talked about, you can at get id of one of the damps and get a 20k scrambler yourself.
But i guess it's all abit out of your range aswell...
So, while you still train towards that, a dampening Celestis and Thorax will work well enough to score you some kills and gather some nice loot.
Celestis, there isn't much difference what you fit here, except for the damps.
3x Damps will work well enough with it's cruiser skill bonus
An 800mm plate will prolongue your existance enough to warp, if something goes horribly wrong
MWD, 20k Scrambler, small armor repper, cap relay or 2.
Then you can experiment with highs and try some remote reps or small guns/launchers to kill drones off with.
Now, for the Thorax.
5x Heavy Electron IIs
1x MWD
1x web
1x Scram
1x MAR II
1x 800mm plate
2x MFS II
This is a general good setup for a rax. Works well both solo and in gang. It can also work with t1 guns, just lose the medium repairer for a PDU or MFS and upgrade your plate to a 1600mm.
Now, for the drones, one of you should use pure ECM drones, and the other DMG drones.
This can ofc vary on who got better drone skills, however seeing as the Thorax has a slightly bigger dronebay, i'd suggest it to be damage dealing drones, and leaving all the EW stuff to the Celestis.
