I suggest popping into a WH to show us what this puppy can do in those sites now!

[@Arjunvandemataram]

Finally Battleships feel more like Battleships.

[@fas609]

You use shield flux and DC2 in the low, get rid off shield booster for another extender, also rig is extender as well, it will become a brick with 600+ hp/s regen, with snake shield resist bonus + multispec resist, you are talking about 1200+ active dps tank and no cap required.

[@Monte_Cristo_R]

If you dont care about cap stability add MWD instead of the AB, if you dont care about speed then just use another shield extender. Plenty of wiggle room.

[@TheodoreIchabod]

You can also swap another shield extender for another multispectrum, the results are comparable. Better resists and EHP but about 11% less regen.

[@rhufnagel]

I love your fits and how you explain your thinking but I do wish you would show your high end fits, and also show a less expensive version of the fit as well and see how they both do.

The 599k EHP is huge. When I am flying mine, I am using it.

I'd like to see a buffer/hybrid anti-gank golem it with these changes.

[@seven9766]

golems (all marauders) aren't very tanky by themselves, but they do rep REALLY hard. So, you only really need enough buffer for your shield booster to not restore more than your total shield hp, assuming you can run it.

[@briancampbell1413]

Ive done a similar fit only with a Scorpion for running level 4 missions in HS, works a treat :)

[@lives2fish911]

excellent build ! i was about to give up on the rattlesnake and shoot for the golem but it has been redeemed with this fit .i wish i could squeeze out a little more damage but i am kinda leery to sacrifice tank .thanks for sharing this fit .

[@omegaai7282]

It was quite obvious to anyone from the initial statement like ~10 days ago. Increase of 100% to shield extenders translates into a massive increase to passive regen (probably not 100%, but close to it). What I didn't expect last week is that Praxis (the BS I own as an alpha) would be the only ship excluded from the buff.

[@inspector4133]

They're saving the good buffs for the paying customers. Not really a surprise.

[@paulsd9255]

Why don't you do SOE level 4 missions? Very good rewards and LP store is amazing

[@zaqq]

The new battleships are absolutely obsurd. I was gutted when I read the Praxis wasnt getting the bonus's, rip the 1.35mil ehp video lol.

[@robertodelatorre3829]

Hey Ace, when I try to setup my rattlesnake just like yours I have way less HP. Even when you took off all the shield extenders you had 54k shield hp while I only have 34k shield hp. Where are you getting the rest of the hp from? I have 170 mil skill points so it's not from skills.

looks like nirvana implants and t2 rigs

You just need to pick a mission hub that is not within a few jumps of LS.

[@guigolum]

elite rats have T2 resists. They usually have some ewar, but not a lower sig.

[@AwoudeX]

at 200k with such resists you can solo efficiently level 4 missions in a snake... having triple the shield doesn't add anything to efficiency and unless you're not in HS, those hp are a waste. Everything else in damage for efficiency!

@@Aceyface One TP isn't enough for Torps. I use two for CMs, and have used 3 in the past. You don't have Rigors/Flares fitted in rig slots, so one TP is not enough IMHO. A Rattlesnake should always be dual prop fit for PVE; LMJD to control range and MWD for burning to gates.
