Hi.

I do not understand the point of Federation Navy Comet in PvP situations.

Imperial navy slicer has its point in range bonus. Stay at 20 km and melt everything. With 125 % damage bonus at level 5 skills...
Caldary Navy Hookbill got 3 very much bonused launchers. Rockets are point by themself, actually.
Republic Fleet Firetail has speed , 125 % damage bonus and a rocket launcher. So the point is to use speed and weapons, that do not require cap.

But how I supposed to use Federation Navy Comet? In factional warfare, for example... with 100 % damage bonus and 3 scout drones it will not make much against other 3 racial frigates... Nos is useless against caldary or minamtar as their weapons do not require cap. Should I use 3 EWAR drones?

Or 244 DPS at 10k;

Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I

The FN Comet is amazing, anybody who thinks it isn't is wrong.

I would consider the Comet to be the best of the faction frigates. It's not a one trick pony like the Slicer is and it can pretty much counter all of the other faction frigates when fit and flown correctly.

A fit to get you started:

[Federation Navy Comet, Rail AB Plate]
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
200mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I
Damage Control II
Small Ancillary Armor Repairer, Nanite Repair Paste

Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler I
1MN Afterburner II

I put your Incursus fit on a Comet, yes. Or at least something that comes very close to it. Didn't know you flew Comets though.

Comet is a great ship.

I just wish it still had its flashing police lights

The point of the Navy Comet was to drop on people with your flashing police lights of awesomeness, then chase down those that try to flee from you while you quote cheesy lines from cop movies. . .

alas this is no longer the case. .

A million times this.


And green engine trails.

first kiting condor will send this build into grave
like some bad guy did to my precious Comet yesterday

The Comet can also kite at warp disruption range pretty well in its own right. Target selection is important, but it is by absolutely miles the most versatile frigate out there.

Does blasters up close, incursus-style scram kite, dual prop, a passable neut intercept and also a decent kite. The drones make, not break, this ship. And it's very, very fast.

This fit isn't 100% perfect and I'm sure people will chip in with tweaks, but try this:

150mm Railgun II / Navy Iridium
150mm Railgun II / Navy Iridium

Warp Disruptor II
Limited 1MN Microwarpdrive I
Medium F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction

Pseudoelectron Containment Field I
Magnetic Field Stablizer II
Micro Auxiliary Power Core II
Overdrive Injector System II

Small Hybrid Collision Accelerator I
Small Core Defence Field Extender I
Small Core Defence Field Extender I

Hobgoblin IIs

With all skills at 5 (and you really need top-end gunnery, drone and nav skills to wring every last drop of performance from it), you get 7378.5 EHP / 154 DPS with guns overheating. Cap lasts 2m 10s. Plus you're doing this at a max speed of 3,891 m/s. Generally you can afford to keep at distance at about 18,250m - 18,500m rather than any orbiting, overheating the WDII if your opponent is attempting to wriggle out of it.

Arrest. Brings to mind the amusing albeit impossible notion of being able to 'scoop' pods into cargo, 'arresting' the criminal.
