The fit is fine, really, but I think you can do a better job overall with a dualweb hawk, harpy or hookbill. You'd be fighting mostly the same targets with similar chances to kill them, and you'd be better at evading gate camps.

But if you like the flycatcher then go for it. Pretty sure it'll destroy most frigates/dictors.

Nice kill....

I would like to point out that this was either a very good fight, or the flycatch was improperly flown. The flycatch should easily be able to stay out of your blaster's range, and then its a question of webbing and killing a flight of medium drones before they kill the flycatcher.

No damage control, and he clearly flew it wrong if you could hit him in a thorax. The range of the 'catcher is enough to negate blaster DPS.

Fit looks decent, should be able to kill the majority of frigs you will find if you fly it right.

Also has no reputation as a good solo ship, so you should get more fights.

The only comment I have, and it goes for all slow frig / dessie hulls is that without an mwd you don't get to call the shots on who you engage and are stuck fighting only very bad or willing targets. You also have zero survivability if you hit a half competent gang on a gate. AB only fits are perfectly viable and I use them in certain cases, but I don't know if I would want to do so on a flycatcher.

With rockets, once you have something locked down you should be able to melt most targets before they creep out of scram range anyway so range control during an engagement isn't so urgent.

It ultimately depends what you intend to target in all honestly and you sound like you more or less know what you are up to so have fun ♥

I'm not sure any dictor without mwd is viable in low-sec. Even with mwd I think you're going to be targeted as an expensive destroyer.

If you have something VERY specific in mind then OK give it a go. Otherwise it'll be "ooo T2 shiny with no tank or speed, kill it now".
