A frigate that hits at 8.4K? A frigate that hits at 12K? Viable? Fail? Does it have to be under 5K or GTFO? Some frigs with faction mods can tackle and hit at ranges farther out than the typical close range fit. I'm just wondering if they are generally considered a bad idea. Mostly in a small roaming fleet.

Considering 125mm rails, possibly faction web and a Fleeting disruptor. Around 12K striking with plutonium I believe and I can still utilize faction web and disruptor of course. Not sure if even possible with a MWD fitting wise, but a faction AB will fit. Cap is horrible and it seems a faction Nos you still have to maintain a range of 8.5K for it to work, which puts you in web territory yourself. Seems tossing the web on your end, adding a cap recharger in it's place, hopefully fitting a MWD and basically trying to hit outside of 10K range. Leaves an extra high slot but that seems to be the sacrifice. Curious if a ship like the Cruor with its web bonus can work in around 8K range as it will always be faster due to superior web.

So with either an artillery or rail frigate I am, in most situations, wanting to be at 13K+ range. Otherwise I might as well be at 1K. Is this the consensus?
Thanks

I guess the main problem is that in a roaming gang you never know what you may encounter. What's perfect against one opponent is weak for another. But I've been curious, I've seen long range set ups on a Jaguar, Comet, even a Daredevil. Seems that unless you know you are going up against a frigate gang that otherwise you must fit to either be under the guns of your opponent(s) or beyond web/scram range at let's say 13-15K. Also if you hit at above 10K you would need a MWD to avoid something sneaking up on you, unless you knew in advance the opposing gang had no frigs in it. Which all in all makes a small faction Nos at 8.6K kinda useless.
