Does such a thing really exist ? :)

i mean the true question in here is for the fw peeps is ... say ur cruising around systems looking for a target , u see a novice/small or even a medium opened by a wt in a frig , be it t1 , t2 or faction/pirate frig .. and u are in X ship , Whats the frig that would get u the most interested in chasing after ?

Whats that 1 ship that when u see it u immediatly know that he is gonna pop the second u scram/point him ?


Also curious what ship would u use to counter x frigate of your desire ?


I'd answer to this question myself but to be honest i couldnt cause i haven't found that 1 particular ship i'm interested in since most often people run away .



excuse my bad grammar if u spot it

1.) TORMENTOR!
2.) KESTREL (yeah Ytterbium did it...... no other words needed)
3.) Punisher

The worst frigate is the one you have no idea how to fly but it was so awesome in the last youtube video you watched. Rifter is not the king of beasts that it once was but it can still kill people. I've even seen ventures turned into pvp ships...sometimes you have to realize that it is not the ship that sucks so much as the guy flying it...

And the Condor and frigate are pretty good for t1 tackle.

The Tormentor is one of the best scram-range kiters out there. You're doing it wrong.

My vote for worst: Rifter. I won't think twice of taking two on at the same time.

I thought the best scramrange kiter is the Tristan?
Don´t agree with the rifter as worst ship. Main problem is that often bad pilots fly it.
But for example Dagren Darius has proved that it can be a good viable brawler.
Kestrel on the other hand..... okay a rookie ship can do more :P

i'd say all frigates are good, especially the tormentor and executioner

but if i absolutely have to state frigates that i wouldnt be afraid to shoot , it would be a rifter and the punisher unfortunately


rifter , because he's a jack of all trades , but master of none

and the punisher , because he might have decent damage and tank , but he has no way of applying that damage , just a frigate orbiting at 500 and he has trouble tracking, also if the fight goes for too long , the cap fails (about one minute) despite the use of a NOS

IMMA FIRING MA LAZAR!!!

I'd say I'd be most interested in chasing down things that are commonly AB brawlers and least interested in chasing down Daredevils and Dramiels.

The Rifter is now the worst frigate, by proxy of everything else being made better than it with the re-balancing.

I find your lack of faith in Noobships disturbing.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Worst - Punisher
Would be worst but doesn't have a ******** design that leaves it with two mids - Rifter

I don't think the Tristan/tormentor are very good either but you can sort of make them work


And while my corpmate is right about the pilot/fit being more important than the ship


A great pilot in a rifter will lose to a great pilot in an incursus 99/100

It's funny how CCP always does this. They manage to take ships that actually work well and nerf bat them into the ground while improving all it's contenders. This will be the same story with the Drake & the Hurricane in the near future.
