Shintoko Akahoshi	Posted - 2004.11.14 19:10:00 - [40] Originally by: Dust Puppy Don't expect to many I think most people will tell you that an Incursus with a blaster setup is possibly the most lethal t1 frigate. If you are talking about elite to then a blaster taranis is better than Incursus and some I think have had good success with Ares probably because with a mwd it's I think the fastest frigate in game (definitly very high in that list) and with it's 2 launcher hp it doesn't need good tracking to kill it's enemy although a lot slower than Taranis. Personally I like the Ares better than the Taranis, because it's faster and makes a better armor tank. I fit mine as gunships, though. Since the Ares gets a tracking bonus (as opposed to the Taranis, which does not), it makes a superior close range/high speed fighter. The main drawbacks are the relatively small damage output (only 2 turrets and a launcher, as opposed to 3 turrets on the Taranis) and that it only has 2 mid slots. Still, it's one of my top 2 favorite interceptors (the other is the Claw, which is basically the Minmatar version of an Ares with another turret duct-taped to it). Part of the problem with the Ares today, though, is that it was designed back when frigates could carry cruise missiles. An Ares with a pair of launchers firing cruise missiles was far deadlier than a Crow in frigate combat, since you could tank it to be able to withstand 4+ cruise missile hits and most other frigates and interceptors would be destroyed with a properly selected and well timed pair of cruise missiles. Now that we're back to light missiles, and the Crow has it's obscene damage bonus, the Ares has been reduced to a merely adequate interceptor. The addition of a fourth high slot (ala the Claw) would do wonders for the craft. Oh, and my vote for the best Gallente standard frigate: Incursus. There's no meaning to life when you cling only to common sense

Hows that for raw frigate firepower? WTB: Imicus with 2500m/3 drone space. The awnser: have your main in a Dominix, launch 10 drones and then have your Imicus pilot scoop and relaunch.. scoop and relaunch.. until you reach the magic number of 10 wasps. I know this is too much of a hassle for PvP, but its allot of fun rat hunting.

Sphalerite	Posted - 2004.11.15 16:57:00 - [46] The Incursus gets my vote for most dangerous Gal frigate. I've seen them take on interceptors with fairly even results, and they have a huge advantage over Interceptors of being nearly disposable. That is a huge advantage when using blasters becuase with blasters, one side will nearly always be riding an egg home. For interceptors, the Taranis can put out such an huge volume of damage, that it can be in structure when it starts shooting and still take out an enemy frigate. A blaster Taranis that picks the wrong fight will die a quick death however, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't already developed the reflexes needed for frigate PvP.
