Ships & Modules

I recently returned to the game and I see that my Crow is not much use these days except as a fleet tackler, but there are everywhere ships (big ones) that do the job better.

Assuming I like the playstyle (high speed, maneuverability and small size) is there anything out there that would manage level 3 missions solo, and would fit in well with a fleet for incursions or level 4-5 missions.

For Information: I have a Drake and Raven, and thus am specialised in missiles. I'd like to stick to missiles, if possible. I also have very high navigation skills, which is why I'd like to stick with something that doesn't just sit there and snipe, or soak while firing missiles.

In a dream world, I'd love to see Tech 3 Interceptor, where the skills and cost required were significantly high, but the reward was proportional.

Finally, I don't mind playing a support role, so if there was a logistic ship, that needed maneuverability, I'd be interested.

With regards to PVE Assault Frigates are very capable of doing lvl 3 solo and even doing lvl 4 in a group. Ishkur is nice, Wolf is also very good with AB/AC fittings.

With regards to PVP if you want to keep high-speed but want to add DPS the answer is Slicer, Daredevil, Jaguar, Wolf, Scythe Fleet Issue, Stabber Fleet Issue, Vagabond and Cynabal. With all of them you can easily hit 3000m/s and dish out a decent amount of damage.

From the sounds of it, for PVP, you would probably enjoy recon ships or maybe scimitar. Both require good management of navigation to keep in one piece while delivering valuable resources to the field.

Its a fine ship but also very much like a crow in meany ways just slower tougher and more DPS, I do my guristas story arc's in a missile launcher crow over it though as a speed tank is always best Vs. AI.
It can be fit for range and passive tank but is as good if not better with rockets and an active tank. And in that regard a vengeance is almost better at that job.

Alternately: Cross-train Gallente Frigates V, fly a Taranis instead.

It doesn't fix your "only flying interceptors" issue, but it does neatly solve your "my interceptor is only good as a fleet tackler" issue. 'ranis is pretty boss.

The Malediction is an armor crow. You might like that.

so wrong
caldari ship have almost he same or sometimes even better align time than minmatar ships before mods, minmatar ships just have more speed

Im fairly sure that the base agility for Caldari and Minmatar t1 ships are the same, they are at least for Drake/Cane.

A very nice Caldari frigate that would be a step up from interceptors, the Hookbill, its relatively fast and thanks to the 5 mids has loads of versatility. That is of course for PVP.

In PvE you cant really go wrong with the standard Caldari line for mission running. Kestrel>Caracal>Drake>Raven.

Caldari actually have some fairly good combat frigates now, the AF buff was very kind to them. The Hawk being boosted enough to push the Hookbill out of the way as a straight up combat ship for example.
