I never realized how "rock, paper, scissors" this game was. Seems like every time I adapt my fit to counter a ship type it slams the door shut on 5 other ship types. It's like I'm always bringing a knife to a gun fight. Also I realize missiles is and easy fix to the problem but I don't want to scare away all my targets by flying a missile ship. Same reason I don't just say "to hell with frigates" and fly a destroyer. Honestly this game makes my head hurt sometimes.

Get good with a duel TD Tormentor and you will be able to take on any non missile frig (possible not the fast frigs, haven't tested against them). Specifically focus on range scripts, not tracking.

Of course, it will take a while to kill them, even longer for them to kill you.

I've been running into a lot of Firetails fitted with TDs in minor plexes lately and am somewhat at a loss as to how to counter them. I guess a tracking computer is the answer? I kinda hate to fit one because mid slots on Amarr ships are somewhat rare. Any other options?


Just bring in 10 griffins with jams, should do the trick.

Not very constructive I know, I'm just not in a very helpful mood tonight.

Sorry.

"Keep at Range" (minimize scan res scripts), and long range ammo (counters range scripts) work for me most of the time. Add some tracking enhancers to your low slots too. Slicer/Coercer have quite a few of them available.

Your other option is to get a Coercer; you should be able to pile on enough tracking and optimal to ignore an unbonused TD. Destroyers 5 is a quick train and well worth it; it was the first hull skill I took to 5.

Also, train Minmatar.
