why heat away since i load javelin ? Ty btw i just need to learn more xD

I don't know, i use orbit and keep range a fuckton ^^

Its more about knowing when to not use them rather than trying to avoid using them.

Hi guys i d like to ask some things about Gallente frigates... i usually fly Fed navy comet , incursus ,tristan and sometimes atron

My main question is : How to counter A scramble range TD ship like slasher or Firetail.. For example when i use blasters and hes out of range (scramble range) switch to Null is not a option cause i am gonna lose eve more tracking (+the TD)....if i am Rail fitted also what ?

Secondly if someone could tell me what frigate fights and even Destros i should avoid .

And the last one When should i use orbit or keep at range ( i mean Vs what guns ) For example vs autocannos do blasters have better tracking so i could orbit them ?

Thank you in advance just trying to become better..An article could help too ;P

Eve is rock paper scissors. In this case, you have paper and they have scissors. Change your fit to become rock and they die pretty fast. Of course, if you look like a rock, scissors isn't going to want to fight you.

I have increasingly moved away from small blasters, rails are where it is at.

Tristan is probably my go to frig, rails and drones mean a TD on the target ship is pretty much a wasted slot; Comets drone compliment is also rather useful.

Just remember the spare drones also, a couple spare ECM drones can get you away from a MWD TD or RSD kiter you cannot touch.

ECM drones

Maximum dishonour bro. Especially in frig fights.

People have very fixed and specific view points on what is fair and what is not the little book of ship honour.

I am generally solo, not sporting off grid links and in a flexible brawler with DPS projection style fit.

Did the lightly tanked E-war based fit frigate really stand a chance as I overwhelm them with DPS on the warp in with my brawler? Same goes for the reverse with the Mwd kiting frigate already at range, with dual TD or RSD, they have a distinct advantage.

I always use combat drones but am in a habit of warping in on condors and hook bills. My comets and Tristan's generally carried spare warriors but even they are pretty useless against fast frigs, fit dependant but lately, yes ECM drones (yes it's a broken game mechanic) are useful to break e-war effects which are increasingly common and I find that with a limited counter I am even more likely to risk warping in on the condors already set up in a plex.

Believe it or not, not all fights are won before they begin. Of the ships he listed, a Comet, Tristan and an Atron should absolutely destroy a kitey Slasher if piloted right, and an Incursus stands a decent chance. Firetail is a bit harder, but I'd still bet on a Comet over a scram-kite Firetail, and if it's an arty tail an Atron could very well win as well.

Funny someone from your corp saying not all fights are won before they begin when you guys only fly shinies with tons of expensive implants, drugs, and OGB.

Pretty sure his point still stands.

Even though i highly disapprove of the use of OGB's.

So true. I've found in order to get anything close to a fair fight you've got to use some sleight of hand either by fitting your ship in a totally unexpected way or being somewhere unexpected. Destroyers seem a bit more balanced and maybe cruisers too, but frigates are definitely "rock, paper, scissors".
