I've heard different things about this ship, cries of it sucking from people who can't see past its 1 Mid Slot, but also claims of its epicness from others, I've heard things about it being a mini-abaddon and a mini-zealot, but was wondering what the fits used are for these purposes, the only one I can come up with atm is this.
[Retribution, PvP] Small Armor Repairer II Capacitor Power Relay II Thermic Plating II Damage Control II Heat Sink II
1MN Afterburner II
Dual Light Pulse Laser II, Amarr Navy Multifrequency S Dual Light Pulse Laser II, Amarr Navy Multifrequency S Medium Pulse Laser II, Amarr Navy Multifrequency S Medium Pulse Laser II, Amarr Navy Multifrequency S Small Nosferatu II
Energy Collision Accelerator I Energy Burst Aerator I

In gangs, it works fine. A enyo is better.
Solo, you will die a lot. An ishkur/harpy/jaguar is better.
Reason for both statements: One Mid slot

It's surprisingly competent for a ship with one midslot and the combination of damage + range + frigate gun tracking is pretty nice, but you're flying a frigate with no tackle and no ewar which raises the question "why are you in a frigate?"
It's comparable to the coercer, with about the same damage (coercer is harder to fit for damage), a little less range (unless you have AS V), a lot less tracking (oh well, frig guns track well anyway) but faster and much more durable. __________________________________

The 1 midslot is not something that you can simply 'get around' like a big fat booty on a hot babe... <-------------------------------------------------> "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -Albert Einstein |

Solo its lol. For gangs there are other AFs that can do its job and do it better, while tackling the target. But its not useless, so fly it if you want.

You're likening something (very) good to only having one midslot???
On a more serious note; I fly a Retri and it's great fun but it can't really do anything the coercer can't, and the coercer is approx 1/20th the price. Losing the 5th high slot and gaining a mid would improve it a lot though.

[Retribution, MWD PVP] Small Armor Repairer II Fourier Transform I Tracking Program Fourier Transform I Tracking Program Heat Sink II Basic Heat Sink
Phased Monopropellant I Hydrazine Boosters
Medium Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Medium Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Medium Pulse Laser II, Scorch S Medium Pulse Laser II, Scorch S [empty high slot]
[empty rig slot] [empty rig slot]
Take off basic heat sink and MWD, put in AB with 2nd Heat Sink II if you prefer. The MWD setup is good. You can also take out basic heat sink for an Adaptive Nano plate or cap power relay. Really your call.
With my skills I get 150+ dps using scorch and can reach over 19km. 2x Tracking Enhancers (I personally prefer the fourier but you can use others) are essential on any retribution. The AB fit retribution is good if you have a frig gang of 5+ people who have MWD's. Gang jumps into a camp? Let your gang mates decloak and get locked first. THEN you decloak and burn back to the gate ;-)
You can play around with those lows. I always work with 1x SAR and 2x TE's though...good way to start. T2 frigs of any size will be very upset with you. ---
