Apparently nou killed that raptor, yay for nou!

Edit : surely that cap booster isn't standard? I don't fly inties or use hybrids so I'm not sure.

Scan Resolution Rigs, also. I credit Nou both for taking the war to them and for eliminating another caldari 'ceptor from Eve.

Story would be better if they weren't sissy arties. Man up and use ze auto cannons. Or even better, use blasters.

I resent that Firebolt. All my posts are heartfelt with truth behind each and every word. I do my best to contribute to the betterment of this thread. You shall have a hard time finding a post otherwise (don't actually do it mkay?).

Are you telling me Gallente is a bad race. How dare you. I have it on good authority courtesy of 2 previous posters that Gallente ships are immensely good and will destroy any other equivalent race's ship regardless of any logical rebuttal. The gall that a fine poster such as yourself could have at times.

Gallente was the FOTM back in '08 after CCP decided to "fix" ECM so that not every capsuleer and their dog would cram multispecs onto spare midslots, leading to sensor damps becoming the new ECM for a while. Then the web nerf/scram buff came and, combined with the overall ship hp buff, spelled the end of Gallente and solo pvp as a whole.

What you asking is if the solo fit rifter is any good for solo. I honestly dont know what to say. Maybe you should take a look at it. If you show info on modules and go to the prerequisites tab you can see if you can use them as well as what skills you need to use them.

But then again you dont even know if the solo rifter fit is good for soloing. I would have to agree it's hard to tell since you arent able to tell the purpose of a fit by its name.

Seriously though a properly fit battle helios or buzzard is going to give most frigates trouble unless you are able to literally start on 0 with everything heated. And dont use the fleet tackle fit for 1v1. Its purpose is to be really fast and cheap to quickly get tackle on something, then die, not something you tend to want out of a 1v1 fit.

The question wasn't really if it's a 1v1 fit, the intention was if it's any good in reality and if I will be able to kill something without having to get a 10mil+ frig like all those hookbills, t2 frigs or whatevs.

The full t2 solo rifter should be able to take on most basic frigates, which makes it so great. It can even take on some t2 frigs, particularly interceptors, when piloted well.

You can look up Wensley for more information regarding rifters, he wrote an excellent guide about them a while back.

I think that what wasnt mentionned (or not enough to me atleast) is that you really should not fight Helios unless you truely know what youre doing. Due to their 5 mid slots, they usually have a plethora of gay shits stucked there, ranging from tracking disruptors, to ECM, to lots of webs. They are usually just gimmicky ships made to kill people in t1 frigates (and often faction/t2 frigs) that just think to themselves ''oh look, i just decloaked a helios''.

Also, dont want to pick sides in the tofu vs risen debate, but I think we can all agree that nergalion is not the smartest pilot in eve. (Of course saying that hes an idiot goes a bit far...but ya know)

edit : shield management 5 has got to be one of the gayest skill to train t.t (its really not but it annoys me)

Hey so my trial account just joined the corporation...but I looked into it and managed to reactivate an old account of mine close to 2 years old. So many skill points to spend :D

So if anyone is around to recruit my name is "Klainger".

I'm a gallente drone guy, a bunch of my drone skills are level 5...dunno if drones are helpful at all in the pirating you guys do, and I'm still a nublet since I only used to mission (and its been almost 2 years!). I'm trying to figure out how to spend all the skill points I have from before, wanna know if I should commit to upgrading from a myrmidon to a dominix and focus on more drone skills, should get a bunch of electronic warfare type skills (i have none pretty much), or if I should be getting myself the proper skills to fly a rifter (which, I suppose,w ould include electronic warfare skills). Or something else?

Not a domi, that's for sure. Ask for someone to go through your api and recommend the best things you should do with your unspent sp.

karah suggested a 1v1 merlin, guess I'll try that since I already got rapid Launch V and warhead IV. At least those 2 t2 rocket slots will improve a bit based on my skills, the blasters obviously not :D
Sucks to only have 4 mids... want medium shield extender + booster

But yeah, caldari frigs suck except for griffin, but nobody will fight me if I show up in a griffin. Will do a little eft and have a look if a merlin is viable

Merlins are monstrous, chat me up in-game and I can show you some super secret fits and talk tactics. You can pull off the active setup you want, you don't need the extender.

Edit: I'm Aeth!

ok will do tomorrow, although karah said without crystals buffer (mse, + 2 extender rig, 1 anti-em rig?) > booster fit.

€: mmmh, if I go for booster instead of mse I'd have lots of spare grid and no need for aux core. Could totally add a bulkhead for teh lulz
