This is a basic T1 setup for use in a PvP-BASIC Hydra Gang.

The Rifter is an excellent frigate, with a balanced slot layout, good damage, and nice speed. Due to the size of PvP-BASIC fleets (and the many smart-bombing battleships thrown at us), this artillery setup is preferred over autocannon setups. While typical autocannon fits deal more damage, many pilots find the range of the artillery setup allows them to start dealing damage earlier and maintain damage dealing at range.

Remember that you should bring a range of EWAR modules though, since you will probably be asked to change them when we set up the fleet. For the full list of modules to bring, see [[PVP-Basic_Preparation_Checklist#Recommended_modules_for_Basic|Recommended Modules for PVP-Basic]].

General Info

  • Bonuses: 5% bonus to Small Projectile Turret damage and 7.5% bonus to tracking per level.

The Rifter is an excellent frigate, with a balanced slot layout, good damage, and nice speed. Due to the size of PvP-BASIC fleets (and the many smart-bombing battleships thrown at us), this artillery setup is preferred over autocannon setups. While typical autocannon fits deal more damage, many pilots find the range of the artillery setup allows them to start dealing damage earlier and maintain damage dealing at range.

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
