, the phantasm is mostly used as a kitey ship because it is amarr and they use scorch to hit optimal at long ranges, gila can kite using minmatar drones, orthus has ability to fire heavy missiles at extreme speeds, vigilant is just like the thorax which can be railed but isnt, stratios is an exploration ship and the ashimmu is most often used as a support/brawler. all the pirate ships have the capabilities to be used as kitey and as brawlers, its just your preference/skill that fills in the rest.


Yes!

And the current pvp meta is kiting. Very small gang warfare cannot be done with brawling and kiting has been strong since EVE went online.
Kiting also lets you engange multiple targets at once. Hence why matari ships were considered the strongest ones before tiericide.

For most of the combat and attack cruisers and battlecruisers and as Kagura already said you can do both with them, it is not something that is limited to pirate faction ships alone.


Should be noted that minmatar could in theory almost kite as they always did. Just that today everyone else is better at that. And usually better at brawling. Derp.
