Ships & Modules

Honestly anything that can hit it would probably kill it because it has such a weak tank. If he orbits at 10k he's only gonna be doing ~300dps at that range which is still a lot but not nearly as bad as 500. Secondly, finding a DD pilot who is completely faction fit, especially faction damage mods, will probably be somewhat rare. Any dessy with good dps out to 10k should be able to handle this fairly well, anything with rockets and tank, or a nano frig that can kill it outside of web range. The biggest problem will be getting a DD this shiny to engage you. He'll know what can kill him and what he can kill so you come cruising in with a hawk he'll probably be pretty tentative to engage that. I like flying enyo's so what I would probably do against a DD is overheat mwd, load null, and try to get within damage application range for as long as possible. If I can get within ~5k for about 10-15 secs he'll be dead.

FYI - this guy wasn't sitting at range, he did a boomerang to get in close and get his blaster max vollys off.

None of these T2 Frigs are allowed in Novice FW sites. If I was in open ground, some of these fits/ships would be interesting...

Dual MASB Hawk looks sweet. That would torch him if he stayed engaged. Can it hold him? It seems like he can close at-will because of his web bonus, and it also seems like his faster speed means he may be able to disengage at will. Though if he's committed to a flyby boomerang he should die.

This Blarpy fit looks like a decent counter. More than enough EHP to make up for the slight dps disadvantage. If he boomerangs, i expect he'll go splat.

What Arty Wolf fit would survive him? He's faster so he can dictate range, and his web is ridiculously boosted by that hull bonus, so basically he gets to fight at his 2k optimal at will. The Wolf fits I see are 150-200dps, and don't have enough EHP/tank to come out on top vs 500dps. What fit would you use?

What Enyo fit can catch him? This high-dps-and-tank Enyo fit would survite him, but can it keep him in range? He has a massive web boost and faster speeds to boot.

* About the only T1 frig solution I've seen is this fun Griffin ECM idea....

Griffin seems like a fun diceroll response. This super cheap 1M ISK Griffin Fit is pretty funny. If the jam lands it might just come out on top.

And now consider "novice" FW plexes wher DD can enter but no T2 frigs can. Completely balanced.

Btw I don't think you will find anyone flying a DD as pimped as OP one without links. Few are that crazy.

Yeah, just remember that this DD can fit into a novice plex (T1 frigates and faction/pirate frigates only).

OGB's will give hima 20km web if he has a factinon web.

You're only reliable option is to fly an interceptor with disruptor range bonus, and pull him apart from well outside his effective damage range.

A Condor is another possible option.

What about a succubus with a neut? or a armor repped punisher or asb merlin, maybe a worm with warriors, just some random thoughts. But as said above, anyone in a faction ship is not really solo as they will have off grid boosting..

You edited the novice thing in later!

Still a linked incursus/merlin would win! (as would a pimped dramiel)

Condor has a shot aswell (land, heat mwd, aply dualdamps hope you got away more than the few km he has lockrange left). Otherwise if you are inside and he comes for you a raildevil will win comfortably!

problem with that is that hes on zero when the fight starts and that he has a 27km 90% web.

Assuming he's sitting directly on the beacon, there's nothing tech 1 Frigate sized that's going to pop it before it dies, and anything it can't kill it can run away from.

Hehe. So true :)
