ok Im rather a newb but I have an idea of what I want to do as a char. Small frigate stuff. I like the idea of being a small little ship flying in and out in a pvp area using my ship to freeze the electronic capacity of other ships.
So each race has an electronic warfare frigate that has very different bonuses.
Which of these races frigates is the most benificial for small scale pvp found in faction warfare? and which is most benificial for large scale pvp?
Or is it all situational? thank you

Edited by: Jack Gilligan on 16/10/2008 13:28:25 The Caldari one most likely, because they are e-war jamming ships.
But in general EAF's are useless mostly because they aren't survivable, you are going to get primaried on sight and blown up in a single volley because they are paper thin and have no tank. They also are quite slow.
One way to make them useful would be possibly to move them to the "covert ops" class of ships and make them a frigate sized alternate to the force recon cruiser (ie: has ewar and has the ability to warp while cloaked using the covert ops cloak).
Note that they pretty much have the same prerequisites already that covert ops frigates take to fly.

Use a falcon. The Ewar frigates are very very weak, and a mean glance will explode them __________

It's very situational, yes. All the Electronic Attack frigates are nice IF you are in a speedy frig gang only. If there are bigger ships around like Tech1 cruisers, it just doesn't make sense any more to field a ew frigate, as you also could be in a more effective ew cruiser then.
The amarr Sentinel is very nice with it's tracking disruptor that helps frig gangs a lot. If you encounter an enemy gang, Kitsune can be a good choice. Keres and Hyena can be used in every situation but they are more tacklers and less real ew ships tbh.

Edited by: Mithfindel on 16/10/2008 13:33:15 The exact use of each ships does depend on the composition of the allied fleet, the opposition and so on. Also a bit on the availability of possible command / gang assist resources, a good vulture pilot can make a difference on EW. Generally, scan resolution reduction and ECM are best friends (i.e. work well used together, and actually in near every situation), damping hostile locking range has definite uses in long-range battles, as is disrupting their optimal and falloff. Up, close and personal the ECM+damping combo works well, and tracking disrupters can switch to disrupt tracking instead of range.
When getting "closer", the ships can also use their "secondary" form of EW (some might argue that this is their primary function, except the Kitsune which has only ECM), making the Gallente ship (coordinated with the Minmatar ship) tacklers and having the Amarr EAS help with breaking tanks and snuffing out MWDs. (Though the MWD role might change with the possible change in how warp scramblers work.)
Just as a general overview on the subject. The only problem I can see with the frigates is that if the hostiles primary EW ships and you don't have some plated big brothers to be targeted first (since they have greater EW potential, too) you'll die fast.

thank you for replys. Ill look at piloting an interdictor for now and work on skills to pilot larger ewar ships. your right about them not having much of a tank.
BTW dude... what happened to your face?

Nano sentinel kills about any other frigate sized wessel out there.
Kitsune + Keres can work as a nice support for small roaming gangs.
Hyena is a bit meh. -----
