So as the title says. I wanna know the best T1 frigate for small scale pvp.
Other than the rifter. We all know its a great ship but I want opinions on the other frigs.
I currently fly gallente and can T2 fit frig sized stuff.
I am gonna go a different route for cruisers and up as I don't like hybrids at all. I am gonna go amarr as I love the way the ships look.
But I enjoy frig pvp and want to know the best ship other than the rifter so I can buy a small practice fleet of ships. I can go any race for frigs except for caldari as I don't wanna train missile skills so much.
Even though I have been using a drake for a while lol.
Sorry I went off my own topic a couple times there.
Would I be better off just goin minnie or stay going for amarr?
I have about equal weapon skills for all races except I have way better skills for gallente as I can T2 fit small hybrids. But I just don't like the pidgeon hole of up their but for good dps or crap dps anywhere else.

Well small missiles and small projectiles are fine I just don't plan on getting T2 for missiles after frig sized weapons. And I will be training projectiles as I have better medium projectile skills than hyrbid skills lol. Frig hybrids are fine. I have been flying a comet and get 189 dps out of it before overheat but I have to be up their butt to do 110 of that dps. The other 79 is from drones with it as I can field T2 small and med drones. I figured that the rifter was by far the best bet for frig sized stuff. Now cruiser and up ireall kinda plan using amarr. But then again I haven't really traied any medium laser stuff so I may just stick to getting my minnie skills up

I know that you mentioned your disinterest in Caldari ships, but the Merlin really is a fantastic frigate. I rate it as just barely under the rifter in terms of effectiveness and versatility. I like mine with blasters, some people prefer rails or autocannons.
You mentioned that you already putz around in a Drake, so you already have some missile skills. Training for T2 rockets won't take you very long, but you can always use meta-3s if you don't feel like it. The Arbalest rocket launchers are very overpriced for what they provide.
I'm not thrilled with the Punisher because it only has 2 mid slots. It can tank very well for a frigate, but tanking doesn't keep your opponent tackled.
The Gallente frigates don't do much for me either.
Here's the thing though... It doesn't take long at all to train all of the frigate skills up to 5, same with the small weapons skills. Take two months and train it all up - you'll have a lot of options at your disposal. Then, when you train for assault frigates, or stealth bombers, or whatever... Like magic, you can fly ALL of them. You are now FOTM-proof. 
Yeah I can fly AF's already but have not bought or fitted one yet as I just moved to low sec with a indy full of incursus. But I am so underwhelmed withthem. So I flew back to my highsec home and picked my comet up for ratting duties. It takes out the blood lowsec battleships without really even reaching armor. I do love the comet.
As I said I am a few days away from interceptors. I am training evasive manuvers 5 as we speak. I do not mind caldari frigs but I am not a fan of their cruisers and not a fan of gallente cruisers either . From what I hear the rupture is a great ship. What is the comparable amarr ship to a ruppy?. I am pprobably gonna go amarr for the long ruun but am focusing on frigs for now.

And on the subject of the comet verses incursus. It takes about 800 rounds of ammo to take out the blood BS's with the incursus. In my comet it takes maybe 300 max. And the 3 hobo
II's take out the non BS rats while I orbit the BS not taking any damge. I love it. I can kill 3 belts worth of rats in the comet in the time it takes me to kill 1 of the BS's in the incursus

I'd cast my vote for the Incursus, but if you're 4 days away from the Ranis then just wait for that, it's a fantastic little ship that you'll have a lot of fun in...
I am looking forward to the ranis.
I was aiming for a harbi for my main BC ship.
I wanna know what's the bad ass battleship for amarr??
And is there an amarr inty that's worth a crap?
I wish I could have all the sp I dumped int AS 4 to transfer to something I will get more use out of . The seeming lack of a role that AS have these days. Why fly an assault ship when an inty seems to be able to do the same thing only better.
I am about a month away from flying a harbinger worth a damn. But that's. Also with T2 guns as far as I can remember.
And anyone wanna pvp with me I am hanging around in vehan these days I can't remember if its the low sec or if the lowsec I have been roaming is 1 jump from vehan. Been a few days since I logged in while training for inty's.
After I finish getting inty 4 I am goin to get started on amarr small turret skills and then get frigs to 5 as I already have it 3.

Heh I forgot about HAC's for a reason to get AF trained up. Hell I think that was the orifpginal reason I did in the first place.
Yeah I am gonna go amarr long term.I just love the designs. I like armor tanking but gallente turrets just are not great above frig size. And I really don't want drones to be my main source of damage. But short term I am finishing skilling up for the ranis. Then finishing up the fitting skills I have left after getting amarr frig to 4 and then cruiser to 4 so I can start skilling up for my harby. I don't mind gallente for frig size but I can fly a dominix but just really don't like the giant sneaker. And if I am gonna commit the time to fly BS well I want it to be a ship I will enjoy. The dominix nor the mega really did that for me
About 34 days from Saturday and I will be in a T2 fit harby :)
