Hello community,

I wanted to ask for advice on T1 frigates for fleet combat ops. I'm interested in learning your picks for the best T1's for the following roles:


  • Tackler
    • Tank / DPSer
    Logistics
    ECM/EWAR


I don't want to have my fleet pilot anything that we can't afford to lose, so I'm limiting it to T1s for now.

Thanks!

It is really fun to downgrade your ships.. I have had some extremely fun fleet ops in T1 "fail fitted" frigs. It costs nothing so if needed you can pretty much wipe whole fleet if you want to just for laughs. Last time Slasher was nice with T1 fittings only and some EWAR. P

For example:

LOL1

LOL2

LOL3

I like to kill stuff.. and stuff.

Fly all Kestrels. They're fun and versatile and not on the (Tristan) bandwagon.

Also consider RR setups with some tackle thrown in. Tristan/Algos traditionally do this well and you wont have to look far for a solid fit. Only downside is herding everyone to stay within the limited RR range but it can give some excellent fights for new players and teaches people about watch lists etc.

RR Navitas bundles are also an option we have used it multiple times to kill frankly ridiculous stuff.

We fly a LM kestrel doctrine, but unfortunately they are outclassed in every way by shield tristans :(

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the great advice! I appreciate the information and will try a few setups and see what happens!

Dual rep blaster incursus is obscerdly good at fighting up ship I.e. **** twice its size or more,
particularly if they aren't bonused for drones,
admittedly that is somewhat of a nech but it exells there none the less.

Ishkur isnt as afraid of drone bonuses but then that's not a t1 ship, still worth thinking about though.

I've been wondering about the incursus for a solo FW fit but I wasn't sure how viable it was. Maybe Ill give it another shot.

i can only speak for the blaster fit but imo if you are going to try and take a cruiser + i wouldn't recommend anything els

Dual rep fits are annoying.
