dont use the rattlesnake to "actively" do missions, as mentioned there are way better and cheaper options out there. But the Rattlesnake does AFK missioning better than any other ship in the game, and that i how you should use it.

this will tank all serpentis missions with full room aggro, while the drones kills the rats. It wont be fast, but you dont have to do anything either! watch TV, play on your pvp alt or whatever you feel like, and when a pocket/mission is done, do it again. This works for all rat types, just switch hardeners and drones accordingly. with a few exceptions:
Buzz kill and angel extravanza because of drone aggro
against sansha, mercenaries and pirate invasion you will need 4 hardeners to be sure
not tested in most storylines
not tested in the new scarlet mission
i dont do faction missions, dont know how it works in them
your blood raider fit will need to have passive hardeners and a LSE, because of neuting
i have perfect skills for this ship (low skills->more hardeners and maybe cap)
and some stuff i might have forgotten
the golden rule being never do the mission afk the first time. you have alot of mids and fitting space for tweaking your fit (like massive attack, i like to have a fit with 2 sebos and an extra drone link, because of the distance to the rats) the mwd is rarely used, worlds collide being one of the exceptions. you dont need the small drones for anything, there is just room for them, heavies can kill anything even interceptors and spider drones (the omnilink helps, but isnt needed)
the entire fit, with hardeners for all rat types will cost around 2.5b isk. the Gila can almost do the same but for a fraction of the price if money is a problem. Dominix and ishtar can be used for some rats, but the pirate ships are better all around, rattlesnake being the only one i have been able to take on all rats with.
so if you are tired of doing the same missions over and over and over again, this is my suggestion. i have tried blitzing in a mach and it is very effective, but boring nonetheless. missioning in eve is more knowing the mission than what ship you are using. its easy to switch your fit, use it! and the obvious, eve survival is your friend |
