Which will be better for active Null-Sec ratting in anomalies without paying stupid ISK for bling?
So i can fly Rattlesnake and Machcariel, most popular ones, pretty well.
Spaceship skills are all 5 for them.Torps and Cruise are in LVL4 specialization. 800mm t2 cannons are LVl2 spec now. Racial drones are lvl3 now.
Any other suggestions within 800m - 1.3 bil range?
Well alot would work some I can think of gila Ishtar loki tengu but that’s me cuz I mostly prefer faster smaller ships
I do not know why people think of gila or tengu if OP asks for Battleship, but this is the cheaper version of my rather blinged Rattlesnake I used when I rat in Impass:

The problem is that you have to watch out your targets health and switch launchers to next one as soon as it is in half armor. Otherwise you lose volleys.
Other problem is that in some escalations you will need something like that:

With best implants you can afford to kill final structure (it is repping very fast.) And even this may not have sufficient DPS to do it solo. Truely speaking being not able to finish escalation myself made me thionk about skilling to

How Nightmare and Vindicator rat in anoms nowadays with fits please? I’d really like a ship which will not be dependent on drone DPS and just warp off at the first sight of neut in local without clicking drone recall

This is something I copied and improved from my local friendly neighborhood bots theirs are way cheaper and have no propulsion module
Finally! A use for bots! 
Copying their fits…
Seems way too much bling for Nightmare. With that tank it oughtta be staying still and sniping, not running circles. Whet’s the optimal and what anoms you do in it ? How does it fare?
He said angel cartel, so lasers will perform rather bad. I suggest a minmatar boat like the typhoon or tempest.
I don’t know if the maelstrom is a good ratting boat or not but the former ships should do fine.
Use nova missiles on the typhoon and the autocannon ammo that does explosive and kinetic damage on the tempest.

How about this? just change resists and ammo for Angels/
While that is true, I believe nightmare theme came from thta post:
not from OP.
And since the posted nightmare fit is a nightmare, I dare to suggest something, that tanks better, strike harder and cost about half:

It require to stay at keyboard (cap booster charges must be used when needed, not all the time) but is more effective, IMHO.
Ouuuh, nevermind then. I do love the Nightmare but I can’t fly the vindicator, so I take your word for it.
