I understand that, but it seems much easer to kite someone than to try and catch a kiter


Fly ab fitted with a spare mwd, when you spot a kiter just refit and blow him off.



Yah i believe i will go for this. Seems like my only real good option rite now aside from say, a dual prop Firetail.
Which i very much enjoy to fly but thats dem ISK's!!! So ill take the cheaper route i guess and just carry a spare MWD in my cargo. I understand how to slingshot and how to aproach/catch kiters, i just need more practice.

Any other frigs out there that maybe i have looked over that also offer a decent dual prop option?


You may try an executioner dual prop pretty nice if you like lazor.

is really how it goes

AB frigates are great in FW because of how plex mechanics work and the prevalence of solo/small group, but you just have problems catching people who start off at range.

MWD frigates are everywhere else because you need to split opponents before the blob kills you.

I was under assumption that you want to look for empty plexes and wait people to come at you if you're fitting with AB. But indeed, if those are occupied already...

Tristan works pretty well against most frigates, kitey or not.

Kestrel and Breacher might also be worth a try.
Otherwise, straight up dualprop Comet.

tristan's are very nice ships. i have the problem with which drone to use. Don't really know if the Hobll or Warll are better. Warll=speed Hobll=damage so i guess just depends on situation.
