Also, what is in your 4th high slot? Against a merlin, using a neut instead of a rocket launcher is a huge help. Killing the capacitor on a Merlin helps a lot.

by then neuting it, you'd be dead before it's cap out. Thats the sad part of rifters, I have tried a lot of different tanks against merlins with neuts etc.


Have you considered using your afterburner to stay within 6-8km of a Merlin? Within that range, neuts can work. Also, you are faster than the Merlin and can hang out at that range. Finally, you will do more damage against the Merlin with your falloff bonus. You aren't supposed to 500m a blaster boat in a Rifter or any other frigate but blaster boats such as the Incursus or Merlin.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

PLEASE CCP MAKE RIFTERS GREAT AGAIN, THEY'RE SO USELESS WITH NO TANK OR DPS AND ONLY GOOD WHEN IN A FLEET TOGETHER IN THE SAME SHIP, BY THE TIME I'M AT SCHOOL AND BACK I WANNA SEE THIS THREAD AT LEAST MOTIVATED SadWhat?


I wanted to move your discussion to the Player Features and Ideas or Ships & Modules since those sections would be better for this type of discussion.

However Your original post has no suggestions of how you think it should be improved specifically. Your terminology is borderline political and typing in all caps is considered shouting/ranting.

Please follow all Forum Rules when posting in the future.

I hope I have sufficiently motivated you to post a constructive Idea to improve the Rifter based on some ideas that have already been provided to you here and feel free to engage in any existing discussions in the forum sections I mentioned above.

23. Post constructively.

Negative feedback can be very useful to further improve EVE Online provided that it is presented in a civil and factual manner. All users are encouraged to honestly express their feelings regarding EVE Online and how it can be improved. Posts that are non-constructive, insulting or in breach of the rules will be deleted regardless of how valid the ideas behind them may be. Users are also reminded that posting with a lack of content also constitutes non-constructive posting.

7. Discussion of real life religion and politics is prohibited.

Discussion of real life religion and politics is strictly prohibited on the EVE Online forums. Discussions of this nature often creates animosity between forum users due to real life political or military conflicts. CCP promotes the growth of a gaming community where equality is at the forefront. Nationalist, religious or political affiliations are not part of EVE Online, and should not be part of discussion on the EVE Online forums.

Quote:
3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.
