BS or below for Guristas ratting in -0.9 Null

I’ve been looking all over for an active fit (actually using the ship versus AFK VNI style) for sites, in the hopes of getting faster clear times, and quite simply because AFK VNI isn’t really my style, and surely there’s another way? (even if it’s a tiny bit less optimal)

I based these fittings off of a C3 BS fitting list, with damage-specific hardeners fitted.
Am I overtanking? (This gets ~850 DPS tank against Guristas)
Is AFK VNI ratting really the only option?
I can’t fly a carrier and AFK ratting seems boring to me, I’d like to at least interact with the game when I’m ratting.

I’ve listed my 4 experimental BS fits below, if anyone has any fit that isn’t an AFK VNI feel free to post them ^~^

Rattlesnake is the step up. Then use the ISK you’re making to inject into the carrier :slight_smile:

I’d suggest the raven with cruise missiles or domi with wardens. sit out at range and just fling damage. Apoc I wouldn’t for gurista ratting, tempest might be fun to try ac brawling, but 1200 arty fit sounds painfully slow for rat killing.

this is the standard pve raven, might make sense to swap for some missile speed rigs so you waste less volleys. also if you can’t use t2 cruise you don’t need so much application. And if you are going to sit at range you can drop some tank, I’d probably drop the cap booster for a cap battery, and just pulse the booster, or drop to a pithum c-type that you can set it and forget it. Lastly can probably drop the target painter for a guidance computer. Probably want to use the low for a signal amp for the extra lock range, and sensor strength. and the empty mid for a prop mod.

here’s a domi, adding some neuts, like you have on your fit, to shake a tackler is a good idea. Or if you want to be more active can try fitting guns. can get some high dps fits with guns + drones and a shield tank, and even higher on the navy domi as it still has the double damage bonuses.

and some misc other drones, I’d suggest a few flights of lights and Ecm drones for gtfo power.

oh yes, and of course the rattlesnake, thing is like a raven and a domi in the same hull. Pretty sure that ship was designed for ratting.
