Ships & Modules

I've googled this but mostly what i see is either old or has no real suggestions.

I really just want to make a few ships, and go get blown up, but hopefully i can set my skills for a specific type of frigit and a suggested fit?

Id appreciate any and all suggestions. thanks in advance.

Well thanks!

I'm guessing my primary use will be FW in the short term, hopefully nul sec asap. My thinking is more for pure pvp and the ratting can just be a secondary concern as my income seems like it will be coming from playing the market and my main focus will be pvp.

The cost of the ship isnt a big deal within reason, i bought a timecode and sold the cerebral thing for 260 million and then have since made some more money with that first 260.

I'm caldari right now but I dont mind spending a day or so training a different faction, just whatever is better is fine.

I'm currently without a corp but im hoping to join one soon. I have 250,000 sp.

Most of my SP is in caldari / missles / hybrid turrets atm.

Here's some fits to get you started, they all have different play styles and it will take a while to learn everything about PvP, but frigate FW is a great place to start.

In your face brawler with high dps, use keep at range 1km, overheat everything and hope you kill your opponent before you die. Avoid fighting enemies which will try to kite you (Slicers, Condors, Firetails). Your ideal situation is sitting at 0 on the beacon inside a plex and having an enemy come right on top of you.
[Kestrel, PvP MWD]

Ballistic Control System II

Limited 1MN Microwarpdrive I
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I

This one isn't really an in your face brawler, the MWD allows you to catch enemies that try to kite you using the 'slingshot' technique which is an important maneuver to learn (there is a good guide for it on the EveIsEasy channel on YouTube. Generally it has good all round stats, but you will lose to dedicated brawlers like the Merlin fit above, but your engagement profile is slightly bigger.

[Condor, PvP]

Ballistic Control System II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II

Limited 1MN Microwarpdrive I
Warp Disruptor II
Phased Muon Sensor Disruptor I, Targeting Range Dampening Script

Finally the good ol damp kite Condor, one of the most annoying ships. This is a kiting ship, your whole fit revolves around keeping the enemy at 20+km while wearing them down with your long range missiles and damping their targeting range so they can't hit you back and so it's harder for them to catch you. If you let someone get within 10km of you and they scramble you (which will turn off your MWD), you're pretty much dead. Kiting ships are the hardest to fly IMO but they have a very large engagement profile because if you think you're losing, you can just warp out.

My final advice is to joint a goof FW corp to show you the ropes, having friends to show you the way is the best way to learn.

Listen child, oh have no fear
The end is coming, the Worm is near..

Aand then I lost my thought.

Anyhow, all the frigates have been put in a good place not too long ago as far as I have heard and I suggest you try them and see what you like.

Some are better at brawling, some better at kiting and as soon as you find one you like, play with piloting styles and fittings.
