Hey guys,
So I've been playing EVE for about 2 months now with my brother (We both started at the same time). We've been doing our best to get into pvp and have been met with nothing but death after death. This is fine with us, however, as we take each loss as a learning experience.
Yesterday we finally got our first kill. It was vs a Tristan and, obviously, wasn't even a real fight. But hey, I'll take it.
Anyway after this kill we were feeling good about our abilities to scan and track easy targets when we came across a Caldari Navy Hookbill. I was a bit worried that it was a Navy issue ship and, thus, may be slightly more powerful than our slashers, but i'll take a 2v1 frigate battle any day.
We started the fight from 300km out. Having Slashers with good afterburners we were able to run the Hook down after a few minutes. It was at this time that he turned and headed straight for me. I attempted to turn around and kite him back towards my brother and it was at this time that everyone engaged. In less than 10 seconds my Slasher went, "POP" and my brother only got the Hook down to 1/2 shields before he eventually met his inevitable demise.
My question to you guys is.... How the hell did this happen? how can a tier 1 frig hold such an advantage over other tier 1 frigs? We had him outnumbered and still never even stood a chance. It's been bothering me ever since I logged off last night. Any light you could shed on this would be greatly appreciated.
TL;DR How the hell can a Caldari Navy Hookbill dispatch 2 slashers in less than 30 seconds!? |

^ this gave me a chuckle.
I realized it was a faction ship but I really didn't think there would be that much of a difference. Before entering the fight I check the market and the price for the Hook was the exact same as the Slasher (If not slightly cheaper).
That's what had me all confused, because, for all intents and purposes, it seemed like a pretty equal ship. |

You MIGHT have stood a chance had you both been in rifters with heavies tanks.
Thanks for this....
I did not know there was a difference in T1 Frigs.
So I guess the new question is; Are Slashers good frigs for a new player to get into PvP with? If not, what would you recommend?

Thanks for all the help everyone. I really appreciate the help.
I'll our fits for our slashers, as they were exactly the same:
3x 150mm Light AutoCannon II
1x 5W Infectious Power System Malfunction
1x X5 Prototype Engine Enervator
1x Medium Ancillary Shiel Booster
1x 1MN Afterburner II
1x J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
1x Overdrive Injector System II
1x Pseudoelectron Containment Field I
2x Small Projectile Metastais Adjuster I
1x Small Projectile Burst Aerator I
Cap Booster x7
Republic Fleet EMP S
Republic Fleet Fusion S
Side note... I don't actually have enough CPU to use the Infectious Power System Malfunction so that was offline.

OP, you can learn a lot from this guy.

Not too shabby, for a Slasher. You went to Battleclinic, didn't you? 
Actually no I didn't go to Battleclinic. I got this fit from one of my corpmates after he LOL'd at my Incursus fit. ;-)
