I tried having a discussion in various channels ingame, wich actually didnt yield very much. Thought I'd give the forums a try. So here goes.
I'm looking for the fastest ship for lvl 1's. Suggestions has been Harpy, though I cant really see how that would be fast at it, as its got quite a low damage output, especially if you consider the time for targetting, getting in range, clicking etc. Theoretical DPS just doesnt really count here. Claw got the speed but not the damage platform.
Cerebus was another sugestion, however, it wont even fit in many of the lvl 1 missions. WC comes to mind.
Best idea so far seems to be a flycatcher. I havnt tried it yet, but noticed when using a railbased destroyer that the longest time is spent targetting or clicking the different ships as they died from a shot or two of 125mm rails, even at low skill. This is where FoF's came to mind. Warp in, flip your AB on, fly to your main objective, set off your launchers. If theres a mission where you only have to destroy a single building etc, just load it with light missiles and fire away asap.
Anyone got a better suggestion then a flycatcher using FoF's/light missiles?

A well fitted tier 2 frigate will breeze through all level 1 missions with no effort at all...
Best ship probably would be amarr as no ammo with lasers
fastest ship... crusader maybe... Jaguar Rifter

If the FoFs work as you plan, that's probably going to be your best bet for easiest kills. Fit your extra highs with small smartbombs for even more targetless carnage.
I suspect that most AFs and interdictors would be able to rival your speed of completion, but only at the cost of a lot more micromanagement.

you dont seem too concerned with looting... so why you wouldnt think harpy is the best is completely beyond me. For fun i went into a l1 with my harpy when I was at af 1 and small hybrid 3, and i couldnt target fast enough to keep up with the instapopped frigates.
Of course this doesnt cover the question of why the hell you'd ever want to run l1s fast. Connections will get you to l2 with most anybody, and l2s are a much faster way to gain standing if that's what you're after.

if you really want an answer... id vote for the vexor.
put some tractors in the highs, and one gun for pulling.
medslots get 2 large peroxide batteries and an AB lows get the hardest tank you can fit.
warpin, aggro everything. release drones, and concentrate on looting.
or a caracal with FoFs is also fast.
but if you really want a frigate... for this one mission.. i dunno. -- Only you can save MMORPGS - Stop whining today! |

You sound like you have a Caldari bias.
But the best FOF in the game is called a drone.
Vexor's fine but its slow and wont fit in those few missions that restrict the ship classes.
Ishkur gets around fast and finishes these missions in seconds, you wont be able to actually target things because the drones will already have eaten them up.

There is a lvl one you cant do in a cruiser.
A Caracal(and obviously a Cerebus) with assults does a lvl 1 extremely fast.
I have ran a good deal of lvl 1s with a rocket hawk - also extremely fast. Even a Crow does them extremely fast.

I imagine an ishkur would be rather quick, just let the drones go to town on whatever they please, while you one-shot all the rats you target with your guns. ---------- My sig is boring. |
