I am wondering how strong a fenre is? I don't understand everything there is about hit points and velocities and technical terminology right now.
Can it withstand a battleship, and for how long?
How about a fitted rifter with warp scrambler and all that?
I know they are slow as blazes, but I am wondering what it takes to bring one down and how long it would take to get it there.
Thanks |

Fen... rir?
It's a hauler, once damage taken > hitpoints, ship is no more. You're average battleship does around 1-1200 dps with a closerange gankfit(It's not like you can dictate distance), a fenrir got around 174k hitpoints including average resistances. So it can withstand a battleship for up up to three minutes. Infinite number of minutes from a poorly fit battleship.
A rifter will kill it given enough time, in fact anything dealing more than 20 dps will.
That said it's defence can be slightly altered with implants. |

I haven't looked into implants yet.
From the sound of it though, it seems that it is pretty strong... a few minutes (I know it is an estimate) with a battleship firing away is pretty good I think.

The Fen has a very low shield recharge tank, so even a Rifter could eventually kill one. However, the Rifter would be killed by gate guns before it caused noticeable damage to you. Even if it were a war situation and no CONCORD or gate guns to contend with, you can still slowboat back to the gate or station webbed before you get killed.
I'm not sure how long it could withstand a single battleship, but freighter gank squads tend to be made up of several ships fit to web you to a standstill and destroy you before you can get back to the gate. Never go to Low Sec with a freighter unsupported. You might beat the odds a couple of times but eventually you'll hit a camp and die.
The velocity of a freighter is so low, and the signature radius so high, that transversal rates really don't play a factor AFAIK. |

No, not really given how slow the Fenrir aligns for warp. A good BS can probably take a freighter down before it finishes aligning.
