This is a basic T1 setup for use in a PvP-BASIC Hydra gang.
 
  
−
The merlin offers a good alternative to the Kestrel - it has an excellent 4 mid-slots, meaning plenty of electronic warfare, as well as more HP and capacitor, although it is slower and deals slightly less damage. Merlins are very versatile ships, and are popular among Agony pilots.

You will have to adjust the 3 EWAR midslots as needed to balance the fleet so bring several different kinds of ewar modules with you.

The following ewar modules will fit in spare mid-slots for this setup:

The Merlin offers a good alternative to the Kestrel - it has plenty of CPU and 4 mid-slots, meaning it can fit plenty of electronic warfare. It also has more effective hitpoints than other frigates due to its shield resistance bonuses. It is, however, one of the slower, lower-dps frigates. Merlins are very versatile ships, and are very popular among Agony pilots.

While blasters are too short ranged for PvP-BASIC, one possible variant would be to swap the Standard Missile Launcher Is for Rocket Launcher Is - this reduces your range but deals more damage, and more importantly, gives you enough spare powergrid to remove the Micro Auxiliary Power Core and use this low-slot to enhance your speed or damage output.

General Info

  • Bonuses: 5% bonus to shield resistances and 5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret damage per skill level

The Merlin offers a good alternative to the Kestrel - it has plenty of CPU and 4 mid-slots, meaning it can fit plenty of electronic warfare. It also has more effective hitpoints than other frigates due to its shield resistance bonuses. It is, however, one of the slower, lower-dps frigates. Merlins are very versatile ships, and are very popular among Agony pilots.

Additional Notes

You should carry with you:

  • 500 units of short-range ammo
  • 500 units of longer-range ammo
  • Scripts for any electronic warfare modules that need them

This ship makes a good "chaser tackle" ship, pulsing the microwarp drive to get into scram/web range then holding down the target while it dies. Students should NOT use this fit, as microwarpdrive = death until you are familiar with evading bombs and smart-bombing battleships.
