Thanks a ton everyone!

@ergherhdfgh: Choices, choices, choices!!! Yes, I was using specific hardeners on my coercer before when I was missioning L2s with it. Trouble is, it fills two out of three low slots. That's why I was looking at single hardener/membrane to be able to fit a rep & a heat sink while still tanking a little damage (even if it won't be as good as having specific hardeners).

@Daerrol Yes, I'm absolutely in love with Coercers too!! Keep wishing for that extra low slot though, and an extra mid come to think of it :D For PvP, yes, you are right, cap isn't an issue. Most of my 'deaths' have happened way too fast to even know if I clicked all the buttons !!! But when ratting, I find that cap helps a little. I'm not worried about being capstable or anything. But just enough to... well... kill those buggers!

@Cara: Hey!!! I'd love that ratting fit! I watched the video. It is excellent. I don't know who owns the site and who made the video, but both did a stand up job (and if you are/can read this: thanks a million !!) I've been doing something similar against clone soldier transports without realizing what I was doing (I just double clicked in space to get a bit of angular velocity whenever I saw hits coming). Recently, I was trying to down one with a punisher. I managed to avoid all damage and get into a sweet 1000m orbit with conflag. But just couldn't hit it hard enough and fast enough to make a dent in its armour before two condors and someone else (I ran before I could see what ship it was) arrived. Hence another try with a coercer.

@Phig Neutron: Hey Phig. Yes, Assault Frigs are next on my list. But just waiting for skills to catch up - mainly fitting, but also frigate V, hull V, etc. Right now, I'm at that stage of my skill training where everytime I train a new skill and see that I can now fit another T2 module, my face breaks up in a wide smile (yes, yes, all noob pleasures :D) I'd like them to be my first T2 fits (having shelved the idea of graduating to cruisers/battlecruisers for now - I'd love to stay within frig/dessie parameters for the foreseeable future).
