5 x HAM II(faction ammo)
1 x Faction Medium Neut(14km)
1 x Domination 10mn MWD
1 x Domination Warp disruptor
2 x LSE II
3 x Overdrive II
2 x BCU II
2 x Polycarbons
Very fast and lots of DPS.
That wasn't so hard.
Close, but not quite...
You won't orbit in HAM range for **** without at least 1x inertia stab. With snakes you'll probably want to use 2 (I do), and set orbit range to 11k. More realistically you'll orbit around 16-18k... that's WITH 2x inertia stabs.
HAM range is 20k max skilled, unless you use velocity rigs, so the faction disruptor is a waste of isk. Also, I go 5.5k/sec with just a t2 mwd. That's fast enough IMO, and again doesn't justify the cost when a Rapier can uncloak and make short work of your investment. It's bad enough the polys cost over 100m... but if you have isk coming out your ass, sure why not get a domi mwd.
This is coming from an experienced nanosac pilot who flies with snakes.
Navy HAMs are a must, but please don't buy them. The prices on them are high enough already.

The key here is orbit speed. This effects how much you slow down between turns when manual piloting as well.
A pilot with top nav skills, harwires, and snakes will be better off with 1 or 2 inertia stabs. Otherwise you'll find yourself out of HAM range quite often. If you set your orbit range really low to compensate, you'll find that you actually orbit slower with 3x OD than say 2x OD and 1x istab.
Just try different lows, go outside and orbit something making sure you're -1k or less of your max HAM range the whole time. You'll eventually find the sweet spot.

Actually fulled skilled you can get HAMs out to around 70-80k fully skilled, but that's only with Advanced Long Range Heavy Assault Missiles.
True, but using javelins causes your top speed to drop... which kind of defeats the purpose of using a nanosac.
