Almost every ship and *guide* I've seen recommended so far in this thread is a quick way to get you killed in hostile 0.0 and give the aggressors some decent loots. But then again I'm going to assume thats the posters intentions.
Considering this is a thread about ratting ships, I'm not sure what you're on about. Ratting (as with missions) is intrinsically risky in a hostile environment, and most fits that are well suited to ratting simply don't cope well with PvP. Your main goals for a ratter are: kill the rats as quickly as possible, get safe as quickly as possible. The best way to achieve both is to be able to kill rats at any range and to be able to stay stationary (moderate warp) or aligned (instant warp). A third goal if you're into it is to loot/salvage as quickly as possible (in Drone regions this is a must since your loot is your pay day).
Some of the fits suggested in this thread fit these goals... Some don't. But suggesting that they're all attempts at getting cheap kills is disingenuous.
For being able to also travel around safely (and I'm kinda contradicting the above paragraphs), a nano-Ishtar is the best ratter hands down since it's fast and fit for PvP. The only downside is that Guristas rats and their 5,000km range missiles will still cause you grief - but other turret based rats will cry as you orbit them at high speed while your drones *****them.

armageddon, tachs, cloak, wcs x 5, mwd, medium armour rep - the rest cap rechargers.
that will get u in and out, and do the job nicely.
and its cheap.

I personally rat in a Domi. It's slow and I'm lazy, so typically I just align to a SS and drop sentry drones or heavies if the rats spawn nearby. If there is a chance that you will run into hostiles, ALWAYS make sure that you have a heavy neut, a large smartbomb, and a set of ECM drones if possible.
Neut will help scare off nanos/intys, smartbomb will clear up drones, and ECM drones can break a lock just long enough for you to escape. I've lost enough Domis to realize how important this rule is.

In a previous post I mentioned the Harpy and Wolf as being favourites, but now after realising I could fly a Myrmidon after a little cross training, I'm sold... Relatively cheap and the setup below is great for Guristas and Serpentis ratting. It paid for itself in one session.

isthar is the best one.
1. Doesnt use any ammo 2. Can fit 3 salvagers + 2 tractor beams 3. Big cargo hold. 4. Capable to kill any rats (can choose damage type, does exellent damage)

Vexor. Quite agile and can kill stuff. Killing takes some time and those webbing frig/cruiser supports can ruin your day, but it still gets the job done. With under 10mil price tag.

ROFL. That's good for getting TO 0.0 but not surviving there...
It's funny... I made my 1st trip to 0.0 not too long ago, and I chose a Condor for this. There was a huge gate camp with a dictor among them, but they just let me get out of the "vortex" and continue on my merry way. Meanwhile, another ship that jumped in right next to me got trapped, and he kept screaming in local for someone to save him. No one even touched me. I still cant understand why. I could have had implants or an expencive item on board..

Originally by: ShopperDuck ChopperRock Edited by: ShopperDuck ChopperRock on 05/02/2008 21:29:32 I was wondering which ship is the best for a solotrip to 0.0.
I need something to be able to tank a trible bs-spawn, and yet fast/agile enough to travel tru 0.0 without the big risk of getting ganked. (all ships can be caught, i know)
Is it a recon or hac or ? what is the best solo-trip-to-0.0-ship?
in my opinion, a battleship is out of the question because you will probably lose it by the time you get to your system. it takes too long to align after jumping in. HAC is a slightly better option.
if you dont have the skills for the HAC, i recommend a T2 Ishkur. gets through battleships spawns really fast. if not ishkur, then T2 fitted rax, which isnt as mobile.
