EPTDuring the December H-W battle and EC- battle I used a long range nano Celestis. Was able to damp a Rook to being useless (<26km lock range according to pyfa) and damped a Tornado that was trying to separate us forcing it to either ram us or disengage. Also saved people that were longpointed by Drakes: "Oh god help I'm pointed by... oh, I'm not pointed anymore..." etc.

Note: Tank is in case of sticky situations such as jumping into enemy gang, otherwise could put ewar rigs and cap booster. Smartbombs are for drone swarms, cause that's pretty much your only threat. EC-600s cause dishonor.

Keep in mind I was doing this all safely from around 100km away.
I proposed a while back (like, during ATX era) of using ewar frigates when light tackle isn't necessary. With the recent patches, Tracking Disruptors and Sensor Dampeners are becoming quite common and rage inducing lately. Which brings me to the Maulus and Crucifier.
The Maulus is pretty straight forward. Not only does it go really fast, but unlike the Celestis, it has insane agility, which is useful if you are using a tackle Maulus or even just in regular scenarios of elite nano.

Even with an MSE, Maulus are paper tanked, AKA, do not fly through 200 clicks of space directly into a wall of gunfire.
The Crucifier is less interesting because TDs only affect turret ships, which isn't useful against the currently popular Talwar and Caracal doctrines. Nonetheless any turret ship that is double bonused Tracking Disrupted does no damage to a nano gang. That and TDs have better projection than Damps.

Kwark had an alternative fit to this concept, but this is my original concept fit from pre-NEO. I've only flown it a couple times (where it didn't really do much) but from fighting unbonused TDs with a turret ship (ie. TD Slashers) I must say TDs can be pretty frustrating.
Both my Maulus and Crucifier fits are range-tanked and designed to project comfortably at 55-90km (Maulus) and 100-140km (Crucifier) without links.
