Hey, new player, looking for some advise.
In your opinion, for PvP, is the Rifter or the Firetail superior, or is it just a matter of preference? |

which can you afford to lose 10-12 of to learn?
Both have perks Firetails got buffed a while ago and are pretty good now. Rifters have always been tried and true.
I suggest you start with rifters and then move to firetails as you become more confident |

Good advice here. Rifters are pretty bad these days, but they are cheap and the right kind of ship to learn on. Firetails are great once you learn. |

rifter is really bad.
i'd go with a slasher if you want to practice before moving to firetail. Hull bonuses and 4 mids layout makes it more similar to the firetail as well |

This, Rifter is bad. It's subpar in pretty much every single type of fit it has. Slasher on the other hand has some nice perks like having 4 mids, being fast and having a tracking bonus. |

Yeap, you can even speed tank non-tracking bonused light neutron blasters with a TD while not webbed in the Slasher whihc is pretty amazing. However you're pretty much never going to be able to kill a flight of lights before dying which is abit sad, it would make a great big-ship tackler if it was a wee bit more tanky. |

I dislike the firetail, it never seems to perform in my hands. I much prefer a Slicer for Brawling, or a Comet for... anything else. |

In FW low brawling in anything with 2 mids is a terrible idea. Any competently flown Ab/Scram/Web frigate can beat a brawl slicer with no issues. |

Propless slicer with a web/scram and neut can be pretty funny. |

rff with dual webs and artys is fun to fly, mostly because everyone engages. |

RFF is probably a great choice for a newer pilot because you can get good performance out of meta 4 artillery, weak navi skills can be compensated for by dual webs, SAAR tank is not very skills-intensive and if things aren't going your way halfway through the fight then you have speed superiority over any three-mid-slot frigate and should be able to disengage. Still, be wary of Tristans... |

Only problem with firetail for newer pilots is that you have to have minmatar frigate 5 trained to get decent dps.
