Im thinking of trying the Caldari Navy Hookbill for solo/small gang pvp.
Im using crow/hawk allready for that, thought it might be fun to try a Hookbill, so im looking for some tech II fittings, thx. |

I quite like my Dual MSE fit, plenty of buffer for solo, and when the inevitable OMGZFACTIONSHOOTITNOWPRIMARY in small gang warfare.

Imo, I would either fit it as dual prop, or dual web.
Dual web Hookbill kills minny AFs easy at least, and Intys, and most other frigs.

Is this how you would fit your dual-web, Lindsay? Or do you have something different?

Pretty much, except I'd go for MWD, and probartly Aux Core to support it. Hookbill does 3000+ m/s with MWD, and thats nice. I am a fan of fleeting webs for more strenght, but X5 work as well. T2 MSE is also nice if you got the skills.

Cool, thanks for the information. Always interesting to see what other people do with these updated ships.

All in all the Hookbill got a nice idea behind it, only downside is the low CPU forcing you to use lots of named expencive modules.
One thing about the dual web version is that it helps to make the rockets apply full dps.
I, for one, enjoy the hookbill, it is great agianst other frigats, but you might want to avoid ishkurs in particular, they can be quit leathal, and need lots of player skill to handle in a good safe way. Not impossible to kill, just gotta keep your toung straight, use 1 web to kite and 1 to kill the drones asap.

Been having good fun in mine. No eft to hand but off the top of my head:
3xRLii w/thorn rage C-type burner, fleetingx2, faint 20k, MSEii BCUii, Nanoii ACR, EM, Therm
Kills frigs nice, also fast enough to engage most cruisers and GTFO if needed.

Unfortunately not every faction ship can be a WTFSOLOPWNMOBILE.
Look at the bonuses, and then realise why youre wasting the ship with rockets on it.
Seems it might make a good Sniperhac gang/small gang support ship.

Locks at 76km with a scan res of 1200+, The standard missiles volley for around 650 damage at up to 71km (more with better projection/velocity skills) with a velocity of over 9500m/s. Should certainly deter cheeky tacklers, and catch any stray pods.
With scan res scripts has a res of over 1800, and carries a point. A good small fast locker for gatecamps. 3500m/s, 2.9s align time.

Yes it works for rockets too, but its akin to dropping blasters on a ship that gets an optimal bonus. Really quite a minimal benefit in that respect.
This would shine as a small gang support that can maintain high velocity and transversal without worring about tracking, and retains the ability to deal identical damage at any range 0-70km.
There are better ships for getting up close and personal with.

It applies to rockets. And imo this ship is wasted with SMLs since you gain no tank. Want SML ship? Use Caracal with AMLs, cheaper and better.
Hookbill is nifty, tho it has severe design flaws wrt CPU.
I have used the dual web variant (use MWD! AB is simply too slow and will fail you.). 20km point is nifty, but I have used 9km due to CPU again. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's too slow to catch it so you rely one a minnie AF entering web range, which reduce the choice to AC Jaguar. Arty fit will be out of web range for both AF as well as AC Wolf. -- 081014 : emoragequit, char transfered to a friend, 090317 : back to original owner blog |

Im not guuna get into the whole "ab's suck argument" because its not worth it and would like everyone to believe it so ill have a cont. advantage in null and low sec...
After having such success with my Rocket hookbill i kinda started to fit sml's on it. Infact i have regulated most my caldari ships to only being in fleets because they have no equal in that role! Plus! I was getting ****d by a griffin and hookbill combo in my firetail when i first encounterd a Sml/hookbill. The hookbill fired standard missile that was doing alot of damage to my mse firetail. The hookbill is full of surprises and while i dont solo in it anymore my corp mates do along with are newly redone rocket vengeance...
This was the firetail v hookbill/Griffin fight! Check the hookbill setup btw very intresting... http://tuskers.killmail.org/?a=kill_related&kll_id=5348609
This is my new standard hookbill fit that can solo because its speed but i have relegated it to fleet work...

Com-on... If you cannot web an AC Wolf in a frig hull, you fail! Also wolfs fitting disruptors instead of scrams are not that common, and the same goes for artie Jags...most ppl AC fit them for a reason.

AC Wolf operate perfectly well far out of web range. I flew a 2 TE wolf recently, the changes to projectiles and TE gave it an awesome range. And a Wolf is still faster than most frig hulls, and those that are actually faster are usually shredded fast unless it's a Jaguar. 22km falloff with AC on a frig hull, it can really be flown like a Vaga nowadays. e.g. a Crusader that was running from me died at something like 32km, the range is now that good. -- 081014 : emoragequit, char transfered to a friend, 090317 : back to original owner blog |

Fortunalty most minni frigs engage me . And there are also a good few AB frigs out there still.
But 3000 m/s un-overloaded Hookbill maks reaching targets fairly easy actually, might not get some Intys but I certanly get many AFs.
And not only minni ships, most others as well, but I like exploiting minni kinetic weakness and laugh at their ****iness.
So just stating its too slow is kinda wrong, overloading in the rigt moment makes it easy, but it comes down to player skill. I usually have easier times killing wolfs actually, and teh ammount or Arfy AFs out there is very low. Yet at any rate.

All good I see about the ship is tackler with 5 mids. Now the question is do we want 5 mids or are 4 awesome enough?
