Been in game for 2 days (in 3 years) all I can say is. Nano is awesome. But yes hard to get kills vs competent players that understand the risk of chasing such a gang/ship. However many will try and chase so good times I guess.

Frigate PvP is iffy cause as someone else mentioned its a rock paper scissor game now (of AB, scram, web, mwd more so then anything else ofc some hulls might have some advantages) where as before you "knew" what people had fitted and could fit to counter.

Caracal is awesome. Come on 20k ehp, 200active tank. almost 300dps that is more or less guaranteed .You don't risk loosing drones, don't risk missing hits. This is with MWD so speed is decent. And it can handle most frig sized hulls with ease with this fit so even if it gets tackled it can get out fairly quick.. Solo or in gang awesome. fly 2-3 of them and the dps ain't to be scoffed at.

Saw a navy omen yesterday that pushed 4000m/s and over 6km/s overloaded. Decent dps and a really long range scram (36km if Im not misstaken). Lot of isk but what kind of gang you need to catch that? Add 2-3 more ships like that together and you won't hold them down without heavy losses. OFC if you manage to kill just one might be worth it, chances are you won't though.

Brawlers in solo PvP can work but you need to trick opponent into range and then hope you can kill before backup arrives, and that you have the better fit. When you go for it with a brawler you do or die. Kiters can play much more aggressive and test waters and if opponents get to overconfident can capitalize, if things go to **** simply warp out and continue to poke and dance again at new location.
