The only problem is... it's a Caldari ship, and I just can't seem to bring myself to like them, no matter how über some are. I have flown the Drake when its specific advantages warranted it, but even that rarely. I may change my mind since I am really starting to like light missiles and rockets, but I'll have to see.<br /><br />But while I agree that using a Purifier for Frigate combat is a stupid idea (incidentally that was the name of my most recently lost ship), I think you missed one detail... :)Druur Monakhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299435488090977357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-147266287869790004.post-24050405912550819392012-10-30T11:28:08.257-06:002012-10-30T11:28:08.257-06:00The main problem with a purifier taking on a friga...The main problem with a purifier taking on a frigate is that the torps really don't do great damage to ships of that size.<br /><br />However, there are options that are (a) cheaper and (b) much like the sort of fight style you're already working on. The condor, for example, is an excellent t1 missile frigate and should be an easy cross train for you, assuming you can't already fly it. As an added benefit, you'll be picking up good skills for flying the new Caldari missile destroyer (the Corax) in December, an update to the game that will also update the minmatar/Burst (missiles + active shield tank bonuses) and introduce the Minmatar missile destroyer.<br /><br />TL;DR: try out the Condor! :) Eve Altruist has a number of fits here: http://www.evealtruist.com/2012/10/what-to-fit-slasher-and-condor.html<br /><br />This is a pretty low-skill version I share with new pilots that might work for you. It's quite cheap and surprisingly durable, if you can maintain range.<br /><br />[Condor, T1 TD Kite]<br />F85 Peripheral Damage System I<br />Ballistic Control System I<br /><br />J5 Prototype Warp Disruptor I<br />Small Ancillary Shield Booster, Cap Booster 25<br />DDO Photometry Tracking Disruptor I, Tracking Speed Disruption Script<br />Limited 1MN MicroWarpdrive I<br /><br />Experimental TE-2100 Light Missile Launcher, Caldari Navy Scourge Light Missile<br />Experimental TE-2100 Light Missile Launcher, Caldari Navy Scourge Light Missile<br />Experimental TE-2100 Light Missile Launcher, Caldari Navy Scourge Light Missile<br />[empty high slot]<br /><br />Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I<br />Small Auxiliary Thrusters I<br />Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586295585650827603noreply@blogger.com
