Been searching around the forums, looking at various setups for the Rapier. Sadly, I don't understand all the shortforms. Also, it seems there are many flavours for each ship. I like that.
Anyway, just wondering if I could get some input from any seasoned Rapier pilots as to what works well for them when out on their own in 0.0

Been using this setup for 3 months now, and have yet to lose my first rapier:
3 720mm Arty, Covert Ops CLoaking Device II
10MN MWD, 1 Scram (24km), 2 Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitors, 1 Phased Moun Target Painter, 1 Large Shield Extender II
Overdrive Injector, 3 Power Diagnostic Unit
Polycarbon Engine Housing, Aux Thrust
Goes around 2.1km/s without implants, and can (and have in my hands) survive being webbed by a while under heavy fire, for around 35-40 sec.
Both solo and in gangs the setup works great, and I have more than 50 solo kills in this ship, most being cruiser, BC and elite frigates. I dont know how many times I have thought this was the time I was gonna lose it and then it just made it anyway.
Also I use 8 warrior II drones as the drones are you main dps, they tend to be shoot, so its great to have reinforcements.

Ok, bear with me, is OD Overdrive Injector?
And I see people are using drones. I guess I should train that up yes?
I am very interested in a solo and a small gang setup, as I am not often at the same time as my corp mates, so this is helpful, thank you.
Any rigging recommendations? And please, use full words. Still learning the lingo.

If i remember correctly i use this setup
3x vulcan 220 II's
covops cloak
2x large extender II
2x web
10mn mwd II
24km scram
signal amp II
damage control II
2x Gyro II (or) 2x overdrive II
kinetic and thermal shield rigs, (they are very cheap)
8x warrior II's or Hornet II's
thing about these is with 1 shield extender you tend to die horribly really quickly, i always go for heaviest tank coz if your in a gang your gonna be primaried and die a very quick and expensive death.

Why use AC's on a ship which can dictate range of 20k+ when fighting?

I wouldn't say soloing in a Rapier is the best ideam but if you must;
2x 720 II 1x RPL 1x COCD II
3x Phased Muon RSD's 1x Webby 1x Domination WD (crucial to any minmatar recon setup imo) 1x 10mn mwd II
1-2x OD II 0-2x Nanofiber II
4x Hammerhead II
0-2 Polycarbs 0-2 Auxiliary Thrusters
I also suggest some rogue implants along with the Zor's hyper link.

i was gonna try
3x 650s 1x covert ops cloak
2x large extender, 2x fleeting, mwd, 24km scram,
2x od, 1 x gyro, nano(dmg ctrl)(another gyro)(signal amp)
2x polycarbs(or show i go with aux for fast non mwd speed)
4100m/s sec solo with rogues,
8x hobgoblins
i knows damps would work better vs missile /bs boats but my dap skills sucks.
sound ok?

Looks good to me, however i would look into Auxiliary Thrusters with 1 OD and 2 nanos. Its slightly slower, but you wont miss it. You will however miss the 90 mill you dropped on the 2xs polycarbs.
