The tristan's been excellent ever since the rocket buff; it's already very competitive with the rifter in frig fights. The rifter's a much better tackler, though.

The Tristan violates the rifter even now before buff - so not much changing on that front really.


Your doing it wrong Shocked

But i look forward to see what will happen. I mean "back in 2007" the Firetail was the number one frigate with a top speed at 13000 m/s. Then we had the speed nerf and alot of the frigates was changed, the firetail totally turned and dropped from the 65m to about 12m and became to light version of the Jaguar. The Dremlin took its place.

I like the balance today as is, and there will always be a ship to complain about. Im unsure what changes will give, but i guess we start seeing alot of new tactics and fits.

If the Tristan will become the new Rifter.. Only if it moves faster...


Wouldn't that mean I'm doing it right ? P Tristan with ions + rockets + drones = delicious om nom nom nom - you have the same tank as the rifter and the same slot layout but higher damage output. tracking on both is excellent. Tristan is awesome.

yeah i think a tristan should already out brawl a rifter...but the rifter has the advantage of speed and versatility giving it more control over the engagement
