Edited by: Arthur Frayn on 18/12/2007 02:18:04 I'm running a Rattlesnake for missions with 6 cruise + 2 blasters or rails depending on the mission type. I run a tracking computer in one mid slot and a tech 2 magstab in the lows to boost my hybrids. I also have one hybrid tracking rig. My question is:
Would it be better to put a tracking enhancer in the lows along with the magstab, and a target painter to replace the tracking comp?

Edited by: Arthur Frayn on 18/12/2007 02:30:49 I noticed in battleclinic item database that a tracking enhancer has a similar optimal bonus to the tracking computer with scripts, and it still maintains a tracking bonus too. Is that accurate? I'm posting from work and cannot test the setup for another 7 hours. It's torture, I tell you.

IIRC, yes.
I suggested the TP because it helps your cruise as well though.

I thought of that too. Pity there are no mods to boost missile velocity/flight time. they really need to add some.

TBH, look into the implants.
I picked up the 3% Explo Radius implant last night, and it's pretty hawt on top of a target painter.
I was single-volley'ing Arch Gistii frigs with PWNAGE + ZMU + 6x Cruise (Caldari BS 4, Cruise 4, Support at 4/5).

you all like men, and are poor at setting up missile boats. I'm not gonna tell you how, but the key word is MISSILE.

Yeah, that's why I suggested the painter, but I'm not going to begrudge someone fitting a pair of guns in those last high slots.

because with rigs/implants you can get what 40km? think someone said 70km with javs?
and uhhh how many tracking comps does it take to get blasters to behave like even pulse lasers?

Not me personally yet. I'm still messing around in highsec for a while. And no, I won't be dumb enough to bring my Rattler out to losec.

Let me get this straight... You are fitting 6 cruise and 2 blasters on a Rattlesnake, and are using 2 mods that affect hybrids to boost 2 weapons? Not a good idea at all.
First off, let me just clear this up... tracking computers and tracking enhancers don't do a damn thing for blasters. Don't do it. Just don't.
Second of all, why are you wasting a tanking slot for a tracking computer?
Finally, what are your lows? Would another BCU not be a better damage mod compared to the magstab? -----

Mid slots:
1 x Domination XL shield booster 4 x Rat specific hardeners 1 x Tracking computer
Low slots:
3 x BCS 1 x Magstab 1 x PDS
Always works for me. The tracking comp with range script gives me 12km with iridium, and gives me a tracking value of 0.08 with the tracking script. I use these mods because I want to get the most value out of all the Rattler's damage bonuses. There are also times where I'll use 4 blasters + 4 cruise for Serpentis missions where their battleships get close enough anyway and torps don't fit well.
