Ships & Modules

T2 em rig and t2 dmg rig, then your set :)

you'll be doing craptastic damage tho. probably taking too long to kill anything bigger than a shuttle

Apparantly the Rook can do it quite well, and the Scorpion definitely can do well solo.

sure, it can be done if you have 15 mins to kill a single target that has no drones. Solo scorps were the rage way back when, but the WCS nurf really ended that one. And the Rook uses its weapons more for point defense then for offense.

Like I said, in theory it can be done, but its never been practical - and - if I were, it would be imba and would be nurfed.

I like the EAFs. Kitsune has very nice jam strength, if not range. The Keres is a nice little tackler. and The Sentinel is one of the best frigates out there. A single Hyena can really screw someone's day when dropped in a gang of larger ships. Their biggest problem is an abysmal lack of dps and less slots for their EWAR mods.

not quite.

while the sentinel and the kitsune can both be a good addition to a gang (and the sentinel can do it solo), the keres and the hyena aren't really that great.

as a tackler, the keres isn't better than an ares, while said ares is much faster thus more survivable, which trumps out the extra warpjam range that the keres has. sure you can cram damps there, but then again, you're making it even harder to even fly about due to the cap consumption of damps. in addition to all this, the ares is cheaper, which coupled with the above mentioned speed, makes it have a much better return than the keres.

the hyena lost quite a huge amount of its pvp value with the nano nerf. Compounding to that the general flaw of the EAF's which is lack of survivability makes the hyena an easier target than the vigil. An expensive vigil at that.

Oh look another no risk pvp thread.

Nicely put mxzf...
It's funny cause rarely there is any PVP outside large fleets and in most cases, when a target engages you without having complete superiority (aka Cane vs. rifter), it's 99% a trap for ganking...easy case, a falcon will decloak or logi-alt will rep (some ppl reached #1 in BC KBs with the last one ehm...clear throat)...the large (or ex-large) alliances will routinely hot-drop supers or "simply" bridge 20 man gangs with titans to get single BC kills...

The kitsune could be effective in getting fights, exactly cause it's completely underestimated as a solo boat.
I would modify at least rigs, so that I could do without the faction PG upgrade - side-benefit = with a PG rig you can fit a MSE II which provides more tank against anything but EM, and in overall the savings (without navy aux + named MSE) are considerable.



As of the "no more than one opponent at a time"...well...that's true for most frigates in PVP...unless we are talking noobs in T1 frigates and/or completely out-gunned long-range ceptors that come into scram range, even the best PVP frigs have a hard time to engage multiple targets at the same time. Picking fights and separating the enemy (if he is in a pack) is more than 50% of each successful kill.

I would stick away from Dramiels or Drone frigs in general. Remember you cannot jam drones.
Your DPS are enough, and your EHP respectable. T1 frigs should be good pray, and in theory they would carelessly burn to you for an easy kill.

Keep it as cheap as possible, and do not lose faith too soon...be prepared to lose a lot of Kitsunes trying to solo, but that's true in every kind of true solo pvp...

Let the "pro" ppl hot-drop or gank loners. Most of them smack pirates and war-decking corps, but are no better. They are gank or nothing.
- you do it your way...and yes, it's the hardest, and most rewarding one.
