Hi All,
What are people using for faction warfare minor plex running? Only destroyers and frigates can use the acceleration gates, but I still want something that can contribute to fleet ops.
Thrasher:
7x250mm Artillery I
1MN MWD, Cap booster, sensor booster (un-scripted)
2xOverdrive injector
The above setup pretty easily clears out the minor plexes solo and can run from larger NPCs and players.
I'm a little unsure on what else to put in the lows as swapping out an overdrive for an istab or nanofiber doesn't seem to make much difference. I've left the last highslot free as a rocket launcher doesn't do DPS at the ranges I like.
Suggestions? Comments?

Not even a Thrasher with it's MWD running forever will catch a fast frigate. Instead, make them come to you by camping the gates or the warp-in points:
[Thrasher, FW Arty Thrasher]
250mm Light Artillery Cannon I x 7
1MN Afterburner I
Warp Disruptor I
Stasis Webifier I
Gyrostabilizer I x 2
This setup is slow as hell so isn't as useful for a roaming nano-gang, but it's a great 'plex camper. It also should cost less than 2mil.
If you wanna go fast and still do good DPS while packing PvP utility, go with a Rifter:
[Rifter, FW Rifter]
200mm AutoCannon I x 3
Rocket Launcher I
1MN MicroWarpdrive I
Warp Scrambler I
Stasis Webifier I
Overdrive Injector System I
Nanofiber Internal Structure I
Gyrostabilizer I
I get over 3km/s with this, it does pretty good DPS, and it should cost right around 1mil. A pack of these invading a small 'plex would be scary.

I would also love to see setups for destroyers to counter interceptor gangs. I've met some of such destroyers with my crow until now, and they mostly managed to scare me away. A good skilled pilot with a well fitted coercer is a very scary thing for every ceptor pilot. And you can enter every FW plex with it, which is very nice.
Wonder if there are such setups possible for like the cormorant. A shame I can't enter with a flycatcher... wish I could use turrets, sometimes..

The problem with the Coercer is that it only has a single mid-slot. You can't PvP effecitvely with a fleet of nothing but Coercers or solo in a Coercer, but they make excellent support ships because of the nice balance of range, tracking, and damage that you can get with pulses on one.
[Coercer, FW Anti-Ceptor]
Medium Modulated Pulse Energy Beam I x 8, Amarr Navy Radio S
Warp Disruptor II
Tracking Enhancer II x 3
Heat Sink II
Does about 80 DPS out to 24km/2.4km, will run for about 7 minutes solid, and has a tracking of over 0.5 rad/s. If this doesn't scare the **** out of any Interceptor, I don't know what will.

Merlin would be a good choice too if CCP hadn't forgotten it in the recent railboat buff. But yeah, the Punisher, especially one using projectiles, wins hands down for T1 frigate tank that's at least moderately useful.

Solo Cormorant
-Highs:
7x t2 75mm Rail , Ammo to range (AM is good out to about 13kms)
1x t2 Rocket Launcher
-Mids:
1x t2 1mn MWD
1x web
1x warp disruptor
1x t2 MSE
-Low:
1x t2 Mag Stab
Tracks fairly well, I know for a fact past 10 kms I can hit transversals of about 7-8km/s. Obviously not the fastest thing on the block but only 2 mods really cost any sort of isk so it is cheap fun. Has over 2k shields to work with and will blow up any ceptor or frigate you catch without too much trouble. Probably could handle most other destroyers as well, although it would be tight depending on starting range and setups etc. In a gang the corm could also fit out to be a 80-100km sniper.
