Greetings,
I'm a 20 million SP Caldari pilot looking for something new. After incessant *****ing and moaning on the forums that Amarr ships suck(TM) I decided I wanted to see for myself.
Right now I'm browsing through ship loadouts, and I think a prophecy would be nice since I can salvage my Battlecruiser V already trained on the Nighthawk.
I never used armor tanks, lasers or up until recently, active anything. Tips for a good T1 setup for 0.0 ratting?

ohoh guristas are really not exactly great to rat with lasers :\
might i recommend using a harbi instead of a prophecy as the tank isn't the issue and at least the former deals out quite a bit of damage?
loadout harbi :P
6x heavy pulse
2x medium nos
1x 10mn mwd
1x web
2x cap recharger
1x mar 2
1x dcu 2 or better named
2x eanm 2 or ap 2
2x heatsink 2
3x ccc rigs
5x hammerhead
that should be able to deal with any rats you meet and is fully capstable, dunno if tank is enough with t1 though.

well get ur amarr and gallente cruiser skills upto 4 so u can try teh brutix as well. that thing makes guristas minced meat when u get near them. and after u can train the astarte. but the absolution is awrsome as well. but eyha lasers vs guristas arnt exactly good. My CEO uses a harb with ac's on it and he hurts stuff alot plus has plenty of cap for a fat tank

... i used a harb for ratting in providence, before i decided i wanted to find out how deep into 0.0 i could go and got it blown to bits. If you want a much cheaper harb to rat in, drop the mwd for an ab (its a pretty fast ship, surprisingly enough), and you can be almost cap stable without any ccc rigs (cap stable enough that you only have to turn off either the guns or the repairer for about 10sec. or so every couple of minutes).
my setup:
7 pulse lasers (largest that can fit)
1 tractor beam
1 10mn ab
1 web
2 cap recharger
1 mar 2
3 active hardeners (i used 1 em and 2 thermal, but i was against sansha... was really funny when someone in an ishtar jumped me and used thermal drones ;P... of course, then he switched to berserker's...)
2 heatsink
5 hammerheads
quite frankly, i had no problems whatsoever against the rats, though depending upon how safe your section of 0.0 is you may need to fit a faster setup and a cloak. But at least with the setup above, if you loose it, all you'll be out of is your insurance payout... this setup is almost excessively cheap...

Here's the thing about the Prophecy. it has no damage bonus. So use it if you want but I'd avoid lasers on Guristas. Even with very good laser skills Guristas shrug off laser damage. A prophecy with blasters or projectiles would be a very good and very cheap ratting ship.
As for tanking train up your mechanics skills. You want to have the skills needed to use energized adaptive nano II's and energized kinetic and thermic membranes. Also get your armor compensation skills up. Slap on 2 ean II's and a DCU II with good skills and you'll be tanking 3x bs spawns easily. With the harbinger and the command ships out the prophecy has lost a bit of it's buzz but it's a very good ship.
