http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1177474&page=1#3Second part of our faction ship revamp for Dominion, we are here going to focus on vessels that are offered to pod pilots from the five major pirate organizations here (Angel Cartel, Blood Raider, Guristas, Sansha's Nation and Serpentis).
The plan is to bring the four pirate factions that haven't been boosted yet into the same level of usefulness than the Sansha's Nation, while tweaking this last one a bit to bring it in line with the new changes*.

Quick, someone do the maths, did they just make the rattlesnake the best mission ship?
5 heavy drones, with room to carry different 2 waves, plus a flight of medium and lights.
Along with shield resistances and 4 launchers.
