So I'm now being given missions in a .4 system known for pew pew and I thought to myself "well, why not just fit out a nice little fast ship that can hold it's own for at least a few minutes and cruise through ahead of sending your mission ship in?"

So I picked out a Fed Navy Comet because they seem versatile enough for a frig, they can be fitted to be quite fast, and they look hella cool. Does anyone out there have a fit or two they can throw down here for me to ponder over? I've hit up the Google and found a few that seem like they're decent, but I thought I'd come here before I fitted it out and ask for the wisdom of you forum warriors.

I would really suggest you use a standard T1 frig or a 'ceptor for the purpose rather than a faction frig, but I guess that all depends how much money you have.

If you really want a ship that is just for scouting your way to a mission in lowsec, you may as well get a covops. You can also sit it off the accel. gate cloaked to give you extra warning if someone probes you out.

the real reasons why you should fly any given ship. fly what you want as long as you won't kill yourself if you lose it - not what 'wins' or boring cookie cutter fits.
