What ship to choose for pve in provi

[Kung Flu]

Okay here my thoughts, rattles snake, mackerel or a t3 cruiser, someone recommend t3c to me because I'm new so they will be more affordable and I will get away quicker, whats everyone else's thoughts?

Have been running lvl4 missions in both a Tengu and a rattlesnake.

The meta of a Rattlesanke in a lvl4 is to MJD out to range and pop your sentry drones and snipe with cruise missiles.

The Tengu however you have to fly around and kite the enemys and kill them with missiles. The key for the Tengu to survive is speed and range since the Tengu dosen't have much EHP.

Depends ofc on your playstyle.. If you like to be on the safeside and sit at range with a buttload of EHP and snipe go for the Rattlesnake.

If you want to be a badass and get some action and fly a ship thats both fun to fly and looks good, go for the Tengu.

Leave the ego behind. No need to be a badass in PVE, no one will be impressed, lol.
You ALWAYS go the safe route in PVE. It's your money maker, not your rep builder. Go Rattle, do like Gjerri said, make some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ISK, then get you some killmarks on your PVP fits.

recommending t3c to somebody who's new is backwards as their skill wall is hyuge

faction ships are easier to skill into and manage they just cost a bit more ; if you've got the dough use guristas stuff for that easy life ; don't get ganked

If you wanna rat normal green sites in provi , just use a vexor navy issue.
You don't need a T3C for normal ratting, only if you do DED sites.

Agree , Vexor Navy issue is just enough. There is tons of neutrals which would murder your expensive toy.
