I'm a big fan of the Condor because it's so darn flexible. My standard fit is a 'Trumbone'.

I'm using a few different ones, but my go-to T1 frigate is Merlin. I just prefer a straight puncher :)

There's really no rocket science to it (pun somewhat intended ;) ), I'm just using it as a mini Blarpy. Pushes out about 170 dps unheated with CN AM, has around 8k ehp and travels at just a bit over 1k m/s unheated. It's not its bigger brother, but costs like a third as well.

It will forever be the Kestrel. Its name is Super spikinator's Kestrel. It was the first frigate that I bought and it made it through a level 2 mission after a bit of warp hopping and kiting. Then when faction ships were first released I took that Kestrel through a complex, got a Succubus BPC and reprocessed my Kestrel so that I could build my Succubus. RIP Super spikinator's Kestrel. RIP.

Condor is awsome .... mwd kiter, mwd scram ASB or buffer,ab scram ASB, ab buffer .... so many options ;) ... I am expecting soon some scream about Condor is OP call the nerf bat.

other frigs can be used too, but are very situational and sometimes they are one trick ponnies.

Incursus, has a strong tank, uses blasters (So instantly cool) and is quite fast.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

My favorties are the Incursus, Breacher, Comet i think


Been trying to get some use out of a lml kestrel but being terrible at kiting + having ****** dps is bad

Caldari Navy Hookbill is currently the most powerful and flexbile frigate. It has good DPS is damn fast and with 5 med slots you can do a lot of e-war. Finally, you can't tracking disrupt it.

Minmatar frigates currently seem to be the worst since they are jack-of-all-trades and last rebalance rounds have completely ignored them resulting in all other ships got now ahead of them.

I'm a dedicated Merlin user. It's quite the little beast with a MASB. My secondary would have to be the Atron, however. I've done some reeeeeally surprising things with that little Atron

I wear my goggles at night.

At first I saw a few ab scram condors but now its 90% kiters.

If you want to go solo you can either take a condor for kiting or a tristan for brawling. These 2 ships probably account for about 70% of the the t1 frigates I see in low sec.

But to op my current favorite is the kestrel. I can have decent chances against most frigates, assault ships, destroyers, and even some cruisers if they are alone. The wide envelope allows for allot of fights.

The AB/Scram Condor can probably take a Tristan. The ship is really amazing.

Dual rep incursus. Tanks n brawls like a beast. Get up close and personal with a full supply of navy cap 400s and your good. Just avoid those damn pesky kiters! I call it DR Doolittle.

As for kiter I love my WhyskeyDyck rail, td atron. Very fun to hunt blaster ships in.

Kestrel, 4 launchers, selectable damage, decent mix of speed and tank, wide range of fitting options, what is not to love? Rockers for high dps, missiles for range, it is just plain fun.

Rifters. Because you see them on d-scan and think 'nomnomnom'

I fly the Tristan a lot. The thing is a beast in FW plexes. There are very, very few fits that can beat it in a straight 1vs1.
