Ships & Modules

I am not good at fitting ships. My ships rely more on wits and intel than anything else to survive, but Battle clinic does not rate on those factors.

Recently I was on a long trip and looked at the tutorials, something I have not done since 2006, and saw the tutorial on production. It so happens that I had a Navy Comet blueprint sitting in the hangar and certainly no shortage of modules I don't need and could reprocess.

So for the first time, I made something!!!!


But otherwise I don't know what to do with the thing other than make it a hangar queen. I hardly even fly Gallente. that it can hold 6 light drones is awesome to me as I am up to all 5s on drone skills, but the CPU of the ship is in poor shape so drone enhancement modules take up a lot of CPU. Same goes for drone rigs and the CPU penalty.

For a week I was using it as a (don't laugh) exploration ship, quite adept at hacking, salvaging, and analyzing while the drones take care of the baddies. But it's back in the hanger now.

One thing it has going for it is that it looks, even with the bad camo and the removal of that flashing blue light (pox on CCP for that) it's what every Gallente frigate should be in attitude.

So, what are good fits for this thing? I have a lot of faction and deadspace goodies from my exploration endeavors, and so perhaps with your help we can make this one heck of a frig.

It all depends on what you want to do with it and where. Low sec pvp, 0.0 pvp, perhaps more exploration etc etc. until we know what you want to do with it it's impossible to give solid advice.

That's the problem, I don't know what to do with it, and I am open to all kinds of suggestions. I expect to fit it accordingly to a specific role, and keep the ship on hand for when the need arises. I do everything from missions, to 0.0 roams, exploration in WH and 0.0, high sec activities, and live events when they occur. Hangar space is free so I'm not worried about just keeping it around.

didnt know the make t2 meta 4 webs hehe
trimarks w/o a plate is abit pointless imo

What kind of speed do you get with that?

Shield version is fast and does crazy dps:

[Federation Navy Comet, Justice]

Light Ion Blaster II, Void S
Salvager I /OFFLINE
Light Ion Blaster II, Void S

J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
Medium F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction
Coreli C-Type 1MN Afterburner

Damage Control II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II

Small Core Defence Field Extender I
Small Core Defence Field Extender I
Small Core Defence Field Extender I


Hobgoblin II x3
Hornet EC-300 x3



Armor version is not far behind with dps, and is active with a NOS:

[Federation Navy Comet, Judge]

Light Neutron Blaster II, Void S
Light Neutron Blaster II, Void S
Small Diminishing Power System Drain I

Warp Scrambler II
Stasis Webifier II
Cold-Gas Arcjet Thrusters

Adaptive Nano Plating II
Damage Control II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Coreli C-Type Small Armor Repairer

Small Hybrid Collision Accelerator I
Small Hybrid Metastasis Adjuster I
[Empty Rig slot]


Hobgoblin II x3
Hornet EC-300 x3

You'll need a grid implant for the shield fit even with AWU5. Keep Null in cargo and go to ball, it's a great ship that can take on any other frigate.

I used something like this for a while, less DPS but can avoid scram/neut range

[Federation Navy Comet, Solo Comet]
Damage Control II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Tracking Enhancer II
Tracking Enhancer II

Coreli C-Type 1MN MicroWarpdrive
Warp Disruptor II
Medium F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction

125mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Thorium Charge S
125mm Railgun II, Caldari Navy Thorium Charge S
[empty high slot]

Small Ancillary Current Router I
Small Core Defence Field Extender I
Small Core Defence Field Extender I


Warrior II x3

If you'll take my two statist cents as a person of low experience but an affection for frigs, I think the Comet looks best as balls to the wall DPS.

Other frigs may well shoot at your drones before trying to kill you which gives you some indirect defense, and a DCU II goes a long way on such an even spread of defenses where your major shield hole is your armor's strength, and your armor hole is your shield strength, and you have a decent amount of structure. Use an overdrive injector for speed since it has no drawback to EHP.

The Comet bonuses also mesh with Void S very well. Tracking is a net gain, and optimal + lower optimal penalty is a gain. In fact you do better with Void S, than a non-tracking bonus ship would with CN Antimatter S, and with the right drones for the target you're pushing Daredevil DPS.

Damage Control II
Federation Navy Magnetic Field Stabilizer
Federation Navy Magnetic Field Stabilizer
Overdrive Injector System II

1MN MicroWarpdrive II
Warp Scrambler II
Stasis Webifier II
(Adjust mids as you like and your wallet allows I just used T2's to show roomy fitting.)

Light Neutron Blaster II (1.9+1.6 w/Void S)
Light Neutron Blaster II (1.9+1.6 w/Void S)
Offline Salvager / Empty / Neut or Nos with lots of faction mids for CPU.

Small Hybrid Collision Accelerator I
Small Hybrid Locus Coordinator I
50 calibration - as you see fit.

325 unheated w/ Warrior II's
377 heated w/ Hobgoblin II's.
3,891 m/s

I said I am bad at fitting ships - the DPS I am seeing is better than some of my best battle cruisers.
