Hey, I can use Shield Hardners etc...but only t1. Can someone give me the ideal setup for ratting in 0.0 with a great active tank and damage output?
If you can, that would be absolutely amazing!!
Cheers!

This should be an active Drake setup you could use with caldari early character (just for ratting):-
Highs
7 x Limos Heavy Missile Launcher (scourge)
Mids
1 x Large Shield Extender (best u can fit) 1 x Large Shield Booster 1 x Shield Boost Amplifier 1 x Active Kinetic Shield hardener 1 x Active Thermal Shield hardener 1 x Medium Cap Booster (with 400/800 charges)
Lows
2 x Power Diagnostic Systems (PDU) 2 x Ballistic Control Systems (BCU)
This should see you well for ratting. Change the shield hardeners for the specific rats you are going after (above is for Guristas).
The only flaws to an active setup in 0.0 is running out of cap charges and then having to make the dangerous journey back to the shop. Drake is a sluggish ship as you know by now so always stay aligned to a planet at >75% speed for quick getaways.
To avoid the need for cap charges go for a passive setup for your shield tank:
Mids
3 x Large Shield Extender (highest HP you can afford) 2 x Passive Thermal Resistance Amps 1 x Passive Kinetic Resistance Amp
Lows
4 x Shield Power Relay (best you can afford)
From memory this should give (depending on skills) about 13K shields with a recharge of somewhere near 300 seconds. From this point you can train Shield Operation (faster recharge) and shield management (more HP) then rigs to finally get the UBERDRAKE:-
7 x Heavy Missile Launcher II's 1 x Auto Targeter
3 x Large Shield Extender II's 2 x Thermal Resistance Amp II's 1 x Kinetic Resistance Amp II
4 x Shield Power Relay II's
3 x Shield Purger Rig II's
Hope this was helpful  YAAARRR

Take the drake and leave it in the hangar until you can fit it T2 everything except heavy missiles. In the meantime, salvage for a corpie with a caracal.

Go. Passive.
7 HAM launchers 3x T2 LSEs 3x rat-specific active shield hardeners 1-4 SPR IIs 0-3 BCU IIs 3x Core Defense Field Purger Is 5x rat-specific light drones
Oh, and RUN if you see any pirates in local. You will not survive a professional gank (though you'll certainly be able to tank single pirates till they get bored). ------------------------------ One more soldier off to war... And one Velator in my hangars. |

This, but not the HAM's, just use normal heavies with kinetic missiles.

Try this similar build, but for people with only T1 skills: Highs: 7 limos heavy launcher Mids: 2 Large shield extenders (best named but you really need T2 when can) 1 Shield Recharger (get T2, doesn't take long, and its the same skill as for the T2 extenders) 3 Rat specific Shield hardeners
Lows: 0-3 Ballistic controls (T2 when Possible, if you need more tank, go with less ballistic controls, if you need more damage, go with more ballistic controls)
Divide your remaining slots between Shield power relays and power diagnostics depending on how much cap you need to permanently run your hardeners.

The above quote is an example of a perfectly useless post.
Now for something diferent.
Friend's drake setup ( the guy is 2 or 3 months old in the game also and mostly rats or mines )
Highs - 6x Heavy Missile Launcher I, 1x Salvager, 1x Small Tractor Beam
Meds - 2x Active Hardeners ( they vary according to mission or area specific rats damage ), 2xLarge Shield Extender T2, 2x Shield Recharger T2
Lows - 3x Shield Power Relay , 1x Named PDU
Drones - I think he uses some light ones. ( not sure here )
The little bugger rats well in this and has tanked L4 missions, Shansha and Arcangel Rats without a worry, has he is a newb only T2 he could fit and afford was the shield extenders but i guess named or T1 stuff should work ok.
Notice that he can also deal with 0.0 rats decently so i found this is a very user friendly ship for most low skilled players. _____________________________________ Hello, i like to shoot random people.

Edited by: ThaDollaGenerale on 04/10/2007 15:33:34 ^ Did you read his post at all? He can't use T2, the drake is good T1, but a noob flying it with all T1 stuff is throwing it away.
Also, 1 BCS I in the low isn't going to help that much for upping his DPS. The dps of the drake sucks and it should only be taken out as a gang support ship to help shield/armor rep other ships.
I ratted in a drake for 3 months and hated every minute of it because it took FOREVER to kill BS rats.

Drake fitting is the same for T1 and T2, but you may have to play with low slots to get more PG.
High 7 x Heavy Launcher
Mid 3 x LSE 2 x Amplifier 1 x SR/Amplifier - Amplifiers or extra SR depend on rat dam type(s)
Low 2 x SPR 1 x BCS 1 x BCS/SPR (or items to help fit 7 launchers)
Rigs 3 x Core Defence Purge
I have skills for T2, but I rat in 0.0 with no rigs in a crappy T1 fitted ship.
There are also cheap implants that help shield, recharge and PG.
