Basic T1 setup for use in Hydra gang.  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.

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
