I'm looking for some input as to what ship would be best to create a blaster boat. I'm still low SP (nearing 3M) but I'm on my way to getting the skills required for assault frigates (Currently at 4 in all 3 skills that require 5). I would think a Harpy would be a good blaster boat, since it's fairly fast, resilient and I could actually use T2 guns with it, as opposed to medium guns, which would take quite a bit more time to train for.
I'm not really looking to pvp with it, mostly just ratting for fun to break mission tedium (Using a drake, don't really like missiles). Are there any other ships (BC, Cruisers, frigs, destroyer, AF) that would be better than the Harpy?

Thorax: Great low SP/high efficiency cheap blaster boat.
though from what it seems, you fly caldari, and in that case the Moa is decent as a blaster boat. 4 Ions, 2 Heavy Assaults. buffer tank, mag field stabs in lows.
9/10 situations, the blaster moa would outperform blaster harpy...and it insures fully.

Moa is, as stated above, a decent choice.
The Ferox does it better though and is a surprisingly good blaster ship. 6 ions, a MWD, a web, some shield extenders and invuls (for buffer tank) and mag stabs. It can also carry more drones than the Moa.
In a pinch, a blaster-ferox (Blerox?) can also be a nasty surprise in pvp.
The Harpy is a fun little ship, but does less dps than either of the t1 ships and hurts more to lose. On the other hand it's swifter and more survivable against larger rats (thanks to a combination of resists and being small). "I got soul but I'm not a soldier" |

I've got over a hundred kills in a blaster ferox, and that was BEFORE they got the extra turret.
Go for it.

Taranis. Can equip 3 small blasters and gets a 50% to their damage if you have Interceptors V. Small, fast and packs a punch although you'll want good drone skills as well to take advantage of the two light drones you can carry. ----- http://evenewb.blogspot.com/

Blasterox can be very nasty in PvP without sacrifing too much tank on it, although a Blasterokh would be even nastier, though you'd probably need a fleet for that. ------------------------

i'm 6 days from a Deimos (already have the hac skill to 4 but i moved from caldari missiles to gallante blasters as they're more fun)
now i'll probably use the thorax most of the time when solo pvping in low sec but i was thinking of pimping a deimos for when i'm feeling risky
anyone got a good fitting suggestion without going into insanely expensive fittings? ___________________ What was that word young man!?!

Meh... I hate those slow plated small blaster fits on a Thorax. I would recommend something with medium blasters and more DPS like this:

Hmm, last time I checked the moa was relatively ****. The only advantage a blaster moa had in PVP was that people didn't expect you to have blasters! So they came in close.
But that was over 6 months ago, I took an eve break since then. Has it been buffed?

No. but here is the deal. Mids are for tank, and lows are for MFS IIs. and shield tank mods cost less grid so you can use larger guns (ions) and still field a decent buffer tank and easily run 3x MFS. (where a thorax can only fix 800mm plate and DC II for resistS)

True but the rax is still better. It has an extra turret and dps bonus, not to mention it can fit 3 tackling modules and 2 tank modules (with3MFS) where as the moa can only fit one tanking module, not including PDU's.
Ah I just noticed the Moa has been given an extra turret, that canges things somewhat.

isn't it a wonder how everyone just ignored the fact that the OP didn't want pvp setups?
anyhow, if you feel like training gallente frigs then the enyo is also a good choice for blasters; ratting in hi sec is so ridiculously light on incoming damage that for the most part some rudimentary armor tanking skills will get you by
on the other hand as suggested before, the ferox is sturdy choice, though in reality most anything will do for hi sec ratting (I assumed hi sec because if you take a ship to low sec, you will pvp with it whether you like it or not)
