Ships & Modules

I'm pretty much exclusively a solo pilot, but here's my failfit I threw together in pyfa in the last 10 minutes. As a general rule though, tacklers aren't supposed to be doing massive amounts of damage. A good tackle fit is just supposed to hold a point and keep them in place while the cavalry arrives. That said, I designed my fittings to be able to take a supplementary damage role once your friends land. Just don't expect them to woo the crowd too much.

Small Anti-Explosive Screen Reinforcer I
Small Anti-Kinetic Screen Reinforcer I

This one is supposed to close in fast on a target and then stay mobile *enough* to take a beating while your friends get there. If they have a web they might slip, but the fitting is fast enough that your friends*should* arrive before you lose them. Overheat your scram and AB until someone else lands a point, then turn it off and proceed like a normal combat ship. The nos is there so if you're getting neuted heavily you can still maintain your point long enough. Or, if you're facing a much larger ship it allows you to ignore their neuts and maintain orbit and somewhat speed tank long enough for backup to arrive.

This one is a more "traditional" ship in that it is designed to hold a tackle from 18-22 km out. You establish a safe orbit and proceed from there. The presence of a cap booster allows you to keep a point even on a battleship with heavy neuts, and the autocannons are for popping drones. Depending on what you're expecting to do, I would switch the guns down to 125mm if you expect to take a lot of drone fire and have very slow friends. Otherwise, stick with the 200mm. When the real fight starts you'll want to close in and provide supporting fire, and the 200mm give better range projection and damage.





Both of these fittings provide a great deal of tank and some cap drain immunity so you can survive while your mates arrive, and both have upwards of 160 dps for when the fireworks start. I put ancillaries on both of them because the module is OP atm, and I don't fully know what you expect to be doing. A pure tackle ship might opt for webs to better kill drones, or dual prop + web to maximize range dictation ability. But, I'm operating on the hunch here that you want a tackler that can transition into a brawler as things heat up. Also, I'm hestitant to run artillery on a jaguar because, frankly, it doesn't have the damage of a thrasher, and it's much MUCH better for close range scenarios most of the time. It can arti just fine, but I just like it with autocannons.
