You get a bit more overall performance than your run-of-the-mill T1 frigate for not a lot higher cost. They work well with the standard minmatar approach of 'my ship is too fast for your ship to handle.' Although with the mini-interceptor T1 frigates out now, it does change the dynamic. Unbonused TDs got nerfed a bit, but can still be viable.<br /><br />For some reason, I like flying MSE firetails so much more than using that mid for ewar. Just more straightforward, more neut resistant, and a little better tank. You've got better range control as well. Something like this:<br /><br /><br />[Republic Fleet Firetail, MSE]<br /><br />Gyrostabilizer II<br />Nanofiber Internal Structure II<br />Tracking Enhancer II<br /><br />1MN Afterburner II<br />Medium Shield Extender II<br />Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I<br />Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler I<br /><br />200mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP S<br />[Empty High slot]<br />200mm AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP S<br /><br />Small Projectile Burst Aerator I<br />Small Core Defense Field Extender I<br />Small Core Defense Field Extender I<br /><br /><br />Oh, and no more sentry aggro when you warp to gate or station from a fight, Naoru.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967533318309432575.post-78586541535433761722012-12-14T01:26:48.105-08:002012-12-14T01:26:48.105-08:00The Firetail is such a cool looking ship.

Never had much luck with it myself.<br />Best fits I've tried are a MWD kiting arty setup (zero tank so don't warp to gate with sentry aggro) and a dual prop, scram, TD, nos repper setup (tagged a bad sentinel in null before dying to his snaked linked cynabal friend).<br />Hmmm I'm off to grab a few of these from Jita.Naoru Kozanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970574576930878118noreply@blogger.com
