I am a 60 year old single man living with my beloved Australian Shepherd from whence comes the name of my character. I am still pretty Noob so if my questions seem mundane just cut me a little slack. I know the answer to PVE frigates that tickle your nose is Drones but Drones give me a pain since you have to wait for them to board when you have to bug-out. The only gun that will track them is a 200mm Scout which does no DPS at all and anything larger has pitiful tracking. I have looked at and tried Blasters and Railguns but you need coverage from 0-10km with good DPS and tracking and that doesn't seem to exist. I have improved the tracking skill to level 3 and will take it to 4. Any ideas for a Frigate Killer in PVE?

Some great ideas. It seems it depends on what the mission writer has written the frigates. The worst offenders are Gallente Support frigates. I just did it again and as I approached I told my Raven to keep current distance which happened to be 13km. Good Luck. Until I set all four Arbalest Heavies with CN missiles on one frigate with a Tracking Beam (Phased Weapon etc) it got them after about 200 missiles each. The four 425mm Scouts couldn't hit one round. Amazing because now that I have trained up the appropriate skills anything coming inside 10km is one or the other. Instantly dead or untouchable. No mid-ground at all. Even the Rat drones or frigates take about two bursts of Med Plasma to blow up. The webifier is a great idea and I thank you all...well most. At least one fool in every bunch.

I have no idea what trolling is and don't really care because I don't waste your time or my time with garbage. Really is amazing because once these frigates get close enuff to lock into their close circular orbit even best named webifier won't let guns touch them. Just have to throw enuff DPS with heavies to pop them. Drones are no fun to me. When my guns catch them coming in they die very quickly. Inside 1000m forget it. Made sense to me that the webifier would be their demise but oh no laser breath(me). Still training up applicable skills like Surgical Strike and Motion Prediction is up to 4. Go Figure.

Thx for the info on Trolls. What a stupid thing to do. Almost as stupid as people that attack people they don't even know. The crazy agent ran the 3 parter a second time back to back that has those blasted Gallente Support Frigates. Motion Prediction is good, finishing Surgical Strike now and the list goes on. The Webifier visually slowed them but obviously the person that wrote the program gave them attributes of being almost bulletproof. Having to put 4 Arbalest launchers with CN Heavies on the same frigate to kill him is absurd. I just added Fourier Tracking boost and we'll see.And incidentally that's a cost of 54k isk per frigate to kill them. The pay ain't near that good.

I'm the only ausdog that I know of:) I should think you could tell from clues in my writing. Anyway it's me, love me or don't. No diff to me. And I really don't ignore advice given in a constructive manner. I know a lot of the things are true but it's fun for me to figure a different way to get from A to B. And actually I am doing only level 2's as it is better for my beat-up heart. I have trained up Motion Prediction, Surgical Strike and any others to help this problem. Put on an 8% boost to Tracking item in lo-slot. I begrudge the loss of a Med slot but as soon as training is completed an Optical Tracking Computer with Tracking script should finish the job with a 24% boost to tracking speed. When they hit the 425mm Scout cannon with Phased Plasma do a neat insta-pop on anything inside 10km. All the effort is paying off as they are doing WAY better at tracking. I was amazed that the webifier wasn't the 100% answer. I am not driven to master level 4 or 5. Just to have fun. And I have quit fooling with Torps and Cruzers on frigates. Indeed they do virtually nothing. Talked to a fellow in local and he didn't want to believe that but thanks to you guys I learned. Thanks. Aus

Regat. What's your point? I did get a virus from a download one way or the other and it wasn't nice. No I don't float around in forums aimlessly causing trouble. That's not my idea of fun.

And Regat if having posted to more than one forum guarantees my admission into Trolldom, by all means go drag up my old posts to Corsair Memory and Warbirds. I think I had a few to a motherboard forum but don't remember the name. That should be enough to keep you happy for a while.
