What about it? They are comonly flown ships. Even by many high-sp players.

I agree, hence the very little. Yes a cruiser fit for frigate work or a destroyer will eat you; but destroyers are few and far between and cruisers fit anti frigate are not all that common.
Err.. I am rn bonnet wrong profile :p

1-2 Overpowered T1 Friggy Punch.
Rifter to put down the point and Punisher to hit with the web.
Nerf them both.

Just recently our corp had a "figate war" competition, and wouldn't you know it, the team that had all rifters repeatedly pwned the other teams. I think that in itself is a freat statement of the superiority of the Rifter. And all the rest of you are just suffering from "Rifter Envy" 
Rifter = The Little Frigate that Could
The winner of our frigate tourny was in a Tristan, and he beat a number of Rifters....
There are lots of good frigates. The Rifter is one.

Most of the time a T1 frigate is tackling a BS, a BC, or some tech I cruisers. The tech I frigates sole role in PvP is to give low skill players the ability to tackle. ThatĘs what everyone from Goons, to BoB use them for and they do an acceptable job at it.
Yeah, in 0.0 alliances which need disposable tackle. Many lower-SP (and higher-SP) players in low-sec use them for general piracy in small groups or solo. Sole role in 0.0 is not sole role in general PvP, you see.

Your cyclone example is completely irrelevant fyi, why where interceptors even close to your optimal in the first place?
Duh, erm, optimal, yeah. Do I need to link Barrage M to you? 
Originally by: Rn Bonnet
Why where they running an intie gang and going after a nano ship? Why didnĘt they disengage earlier?
1.55km/s is hardly 'nanoship'. One tried, tried to turn in the opposite direction which is, I admit, a stupid move, but, hey, something has to give you the nice T2 loot and salvage ;)

Why didnĘt the crow stay and let you run out of cap than solo you?
Because when you get to half armour in 15-20 seconds, you don't stay for the remaining two minutes? And if you suggest going further out so I shoot in deep falloff, I'll miss more due to range and hit more due to better tracking, due to the way radial velocity works. Anyway, we're derailing. Point is, you need speed, speed and more speed to tackle safely, and the only T1 frig which comes close is the Vigil.

Er, I think you were looking for the expression 'a cruiser fit semi-decently will eat you' ;)

From my own experience...
Imicus outranges it by miles and miles. The Imicus has the longest effective range of any frigate due to its drone control range bonus, it even outranges most cruisers. You'll need a sensor booster to get the full range benefit of course, but even if you don't want to fight at 50 kms (because they'll just run away), keeping just in warp disruptor range and letting 3 T2 hobbies pound away on it they'll barely touch you. I've also had success fighting Rifters in an ablative-tanked Imicus - it doesn't have the slots to fit a bunch of extenders and plates but it can very effectivly fit one of each and if you forego a repper it really doesn't matter.
In a straight-up slugfest a well-fit Comet will beat a Rifter every time. Sure it's a faction frig, but still T1  .
