I faced this challenge not too long ago when Nam was caught with his pants down in the Outer Ring area. With a -7.8 sec status it was quite difficult to move on in the game as I didn’t want to focus on PVP then.
After reading posts from others about using a stealth bomber to rat I gave it a go. Three days I spent with that blasted ship and I learned something, 0.0 ratting was never meant to be done with a SB.
With some thought on the problem and some isk to burn I decided to go with an Arazu for the ratting. Good tank against the rats, decent DPS, and cloak.
Here is the fit I used to solo triple BS spawns in 0.0:
[Arazu, PVE]
3x Heavy Ion Blaster II (Antimatter Charge M)
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
10MN Afterburner II
2x Heat Dissipation Field II
Ballistic Deflection Field II
2x Large Shield Extender II
Damage Control II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
2x Shield Power Relay II
2x Medium Core Defence Field Purger I
4x Hammerhead II
Effective HP: 74,365
Tank Ability: 492.53 DPS
Damage Profile – Guristas (EM: 0.00%, Ex: 0.00%, Ki: 83.63%, Th: 16.37%)
Shield Resists – EM: 12.50%, Ex: 56.25%, Ki: 88.19%, Th: 87.67%
Armor Resists – EM: 57.50%, Ex: 23.50%, Ki: 72.38%, Th: 58.56%
Capacitor: Lasts 2m 48s
Volley Damage: 505.20
DPS: 161.50
Now as this is tanked against the rats I was facing out that way and the stats reflect that. Having the cloaked warp saved this ship more times as I can count, and it didn’t take long to get my sec repaired.
I would use different ships for this task had the system been more friendly, but given the challenge of local more than the rats this was the ship of choice.
I use a similar setup for PVP activities, actually 2 different ones I will share:
[Arazu, PVP]
3x Dual 150mm Railgun II (Spike M)
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
Sensor Booster II (Scan Resolution)
10MN MicroWarpdrive II
2x Domination Warp Scrambler
2x Phased Muon Sensor Disruptor I (Targeting Range Dampening)
1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I
Damage Control II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Signal Amplifier II
2x Medium Inverted Signal Field Projector I
5x Hobgoblin II
3x Warrior II
[Arazu, PVP2]
3x Heavy Ion Blaster II (Null M)
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
10MN Afterburner II
3x Large Shield Extender II
Warp Scrambler II
Stasis Webifier II
Damage Control II
3x Shield Power Relay II
2x Medium Core Defence Field Purger I
4x Hammerhead II
