Slasher does everything the rifter does but better

Rifter is garbage until ccp decides to fix it and the punisher.

Listen to these fine folks disparaging the Rifter. Remember - if you see me in my Rifter you should always attack. I die easy.

Actually, yes it was an "I win" button. For example, there was no version of the Tristan that had a chance against a properly fit rifter. (We tested it out many times.)



To be fair though the tristan was never that great so to use it as a base to measure another ship is not a great idea.

I think both ships have merit, and how you fit and fly each is Gunna be the deciding factor. Having said this, since the changes - the Slasher has become a very effective T1 frigate. If flown right it can give hybrid fits a very difficult fight. With a neut it can really stress a Gal and/or Amarr frigs capacitor. While the rifter may have been brought slightly closer to the Earth - the Slasher has gotten a little closer 2 the heavens. So in the end - I'd say the Mins got two good usable frigs, which is a nice problem to have.Blink

I CBA so just fly whatever one you want to as they are both good.

That is the Way, the Tao.

Balance is everything.
