My Level 5 Setup
Rattlesnake
Highs:
4x caldari navy cruise missile launcher
1x drone link augmentor
1x corpus x-type nos
Mids:
depending on mission
1-2 drone Tracking link
1 x T2 LSE
0-1 x T2 Shield recharger
4-5 assorted pith a-type or c-type resistance amps (for example 3xem/2xthermal for sansha missions)
Lows:
6x SPR2
Rigs
2x T2 purger rigs
1x T1 purger rigs
Drone bay:
Loadsa Drones! (not trained for t2 heavies unfortunatly)
Notes:
The nos mostly just so you can get a cycle of it off on the last ship you kill, I dont waste time killing neut towers, failing to get a cycle of nos just before you warp out is a problem, it takes a LONG time for a ship with 6xsprs fitted to recover from a totally empty cap
Nos Vs Rats
I've read a bunch on the forums and in other places about how Nos work Vs rats, so I spent an evening testing diffrent things and came to these conclusions
1> rats have a finite amount of cap
2> this cap doesn't recharge in a reasonable amount of time (I would say not at all)
3> the rats don't use this cap for anything, their lasers/shield boosts etc don't drain it and draining it doesn't stop those things from working*
4> a nos will drain cap from the rat even if you have more cap then them.
*I read a few posts that state that draining a rats cap will reduce the frequency of repair cycles or ecm bursts, however I cant see any way of verifying either of these as both of their frequencies vary wildly anyway.
