things to take into consideration:

Kitsune - you won't be using 1 of the bonuses in the kitsune (check max targeting range and optimal of jammers either racial or multispec. EAS lvl1 on multispecs give you 55km range, and kitsune targeting range is 52.5km). so you have 3 choices: either slap a sensor booster, cram lows with signal amps or use 2 targeting range rigs.

Keres - due to the new nature of the dampners, this ship is a bit.. sub-optimal using them, and using warpscrams in this ship, altho viable, is a bit of a waste, due to the fact that the interceptors can do almost the same, for a fraction of the cost.

Hyena - tbh, it's a mini-huginn. treat it as such.

Sentinel - full rack of neutralizers will need lots of cap modules and they will only hit up to 18km, so you'll be out of range from a crow for example. TD's aren't that good either.


in general: these ships are too heavy, and even with mwd, they won't be able to reach speeds above 3km/sec. the most flagrant case is the sentinel where you are totally helpless vs a crow, unless you manage to pop him before he pops your drones.

Basically they are all crap for the price vs performance. What's the point of using damps now, especially on a fat slow frig?

Frig sized neuts, wow.. you will get popped before you dent someone's cap.

18k webs, good, but no where near enough to counter nano setups. Plus the ship is a sitting duck on a frig hull. Say "Hai2u" to warrior II drones.

Kitsune is the only decent one there, but it needs a sensor booster and to sit as far away as possible.. may as well use a Blackbird.

AS for noob friendly.. t1 EWAR cruisers are better. Dirt cheap, better performance.
