Vni Nerf Bars
This Worm is a direct upgrade from the traditional kiting Tristan. Pretty much plays the same.
With the Overmind 'Hawkmoth' Drone Tuner S10-25T implant, which is pretty cheap right now (~50m), your drones gain 10% speed while loosing 25% of each drone- shield/armor/structure
... but nobody shoots the drones of a Worm :)
I recommend not loading any scripts as you gain enough lockrange from the Sensor Booster itself to lock others at a decent range, with the pro of locking faster and being more ECM resistant aswell. A target that is keen to fight you will probably also burn after you; the Sensor Booster allows you to lock such targets early and apply damage way before being in Warp Disruptor range. Also you can replace the Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer II with another Small Core Defense Field Extender II as you gain overall more shieldtank against every opponent that doesnt use EM damage.
Be aware of capacitor issues!
Playing it right you can kill ratting VNI's under the right circumstances (even more so with the recent VNI dronespeed nerf):

And surprisingly, all of this isn’t a complete nerf to the venerable platform of the VNI. The added bonuses to turrets make it a fairly solid Cruiser that’s great for PvP when facing short-range frigates or Destroyers. And it’s speed is great for chasing down enemies. If you do all of those things above, then maybe you will address the bounty problem, but no nerf to ships in the game will actually do it. That being said, Carriers are still decent for making isk, just switch your ratting to a thanny with a fighter durability mod and you shouldn't have too much issue.
