I just hit T7 today.
I have the choice between a Phantasm / Ashimmu / Harbinger Prototype / Prophecy. The reason I can freely choose between these is that I have a very kind corporation member that will fund me whichever ship I choose.
Up until T7 I have been flying the Maller with medium lasers and the VNI as a drone boat. I therefor have both drone, medium laser and armor skills trained already.
The purpose of whichever ship I choose will be for ratting. So, what do you suggest and why? Phantasm / Ashimmu / Prophecy / Or Harbinfer Prototype?
