Ships & Modules

To clarify; Solo pvp (real solo, NO links). Can fly every single race and class of ships. 0.0 space, I got other stuff for low-sec.
Also have been out of pvp for a while until recently due to RL.

Playstyle; split blob - kill stuff before blob gets in range - ideally GTFO, Alternate; get attention - kill them because they underestimate.

I have flown the Taranis and Crusader for a long time as combat interceptors. However, T1 frigs like the Atron just gets a lot more fights and is still highly effective.
Trying with T1 frigs from the other races has not been as successful. They either lack speed, effective application range or raw dps for this, something the Atron hits a very good mix of.
Got me thinking, what other ships draws a lot of fights, yet has the ability to win them/kill stuff before DIAF like the Atron does?

Class, race, SP's, neither matter as I can fly it all.

Slicer or coercers do the job very well. (Scorch FTW)

But most t1 frigs should do the job if flown well. Look up the EVE is Easy videos by Sutonia.

Thank you.

A further question, a certain Orthrus has been camping in the area I fly, fit like this; Fit or this Fit2
I was thinking of using a 100MN AB vagabond to kill that, but have never flown one before, is that a good idea, or is a different ship better?

Can fly pretty much everything near enough max skilled that is not a capital nor is isk an issue (some restraint is ideal ofc :P).

Problem with the ships mentioned is I dont see how I am ever going to catch it with them as they are slow.

Good point about overshooting.. However I cant think easily of a different way to get within it's 18km+ scram range as MWD will not work for that.

sure... or a friend in a huginn/rapier, etc.

But that is hardly solo, nor makes for good pvp footage

Wondering if perhaps simply another Orthrus is the best to kill one...

Most Garmur pilots that have at least as much common sense as isk in their wallets are going to have their Garmurs Snaked/Linked. So trying to fit anything specialized to engage one without both of those seems silly to me. Unless of course you are counting on them not having those, but a strategy that relies on the opponent being fit less than optimally seems like a bad one to me.

Kestrel..

I dont think I've ever lost a 1v1 with a Kestrel vs an inty. They all come flying in, expecting to wreck you... and you obliterate them. Only time you will be in trouble is if inty pilot is decent and knows how to hold range / keep it without you getting them scrammed or webbed...

If you hold your range right you can kill them with multiple people on you as well...

Beam Coercer

Slicer is a great choice, it does extremely well vs both buffer or active tanked garms.

hmmm. Beam confessor might actually do well to, for those 70km point garmurs that love to kite. I've not actually gone up against a garmur in one yet, but it certainly does melt stuff like daredevils.

dram could be a fun fight, but you may need to count on a garm pilots arrogance. a scythe fleet issue is awesome for insta blapping frigs, rapid launchers and warriors makes frigs cry.

i have had a few frigs engage for reasons i have no idea, but they get blapped.....like one volleyed.

and they engage like im the worst frig pilot in the world....assume they are linked, boosted, and implanted.

based on that, fly a juicy cruiser....one that looks like its easy to kill. then rake the KM's all day...and make rad videos.

garm pilots will freely engage cruisers that look like they are easy prey. as with any frig pilot. especially when they are linked.
