Ships & Modules

Just coming back to the game from a long heitus and was wondering if anyone could give some insight on the current meta. What ships would you suggest?

I can run any T1 / faction ship, so maybe you could give me a T1 ship and a T2 ship I should be working towards. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Start with frigs until you get the hang of things again.

Slicers are an amazing ride if you can fly manually with good speed control.

I just started riding dual prop Taranis but am totally in love with it. We're going to run away and get married on a beach in Vegas.

Incursex is also good on the side when Taranis isn't home or when you're "Working late."

Much this

If you've also got some pretty decent frigate skills and want something that works well both for a fleet situation and flying solo, an Enyo or a Wolf can make an excellent tackler/anti tackle for fleets. You'll lose the speed of a ceptor, obviously but the tank on those things makes them pretty damn good as heavy, sustained tackle for any fleet. On the flip side, the agility and ferocity of an Assault Frigate makes it capable of taking on cruisers while still remaining relatively unscathed. It takes a bit of skill and knowledge to both pick the fights you want and how you should react to a certain situation, but assault frigates are great fun to learn and fly in any situation.


Another option, which is my personal favorite is buying a combat fit Astero and doing solo exploration. You'll have to drop quite a few iskies for a reputable fit, but an Astero as a solo ship is capable of going toe-to-toe with any frigate (except some Assault Frigs) or destroyer and survive almost every time. And if you see something warp in that you don't wanna fight? Burn away from can, cov ops cloak and warp away. Extremely fun little things that can also get you a decent payout from Data and Relic sites.

orthorus with Rapid Light missiles are all the new rage.

Tristan -> Vexor -> Nexor -> Ishtar

Drone tracking these days is simply absurd.

Sleipnir with HG crystals and an offgrid booster.

are you doing pvp or pve or both?

the vexor and the ishtar are pretty good at both. edit - tho the ishtar is getting a little nerf soon (unless that already hapened)

marauders are decent as well becuase they get ewar immunity and double local reps while in bastion. they can be expensive tho.

It's not locked, so why shall we care?



And Cyno fitted of course to call in the friends

Solo Sacrilege? Pls. Show Fitting.

I haven't been playing for more than 2 years.

But I would recomend Cynabal, Vagabond and Stabber fleet issue. The SFI is probabaly the most underestimated of the 3, so if you are solo. You want people to think you are weak, otherwise hey wont engage.

SFIt can fit warp scram, double webs and Gyro/TE pure DPS fit. Or a scram + web _ cap booster, duel medium t2 armour rep fit.

Both are viable.

I also recomend 220 t2 vulcan cannons, carry republic fleet EMP, RF phased plasma, RF tit sab/ dep uranium rounds. and maybe a few houndred barrage rounds (no point sing barrage if you've got a scram, but you never know)
