The rifter is an excellent frigate, with a balanced slot layout, good damage, and excellent speed. They are very popular among Agony pilots. Due to the size of PvP-BASIC fleets, this artillery setup is preferred over [[T1 Hydra Rifter|the autocannon setup]]. While the autocannon setup deals more damage, many pilots find the range of the artillery setup allows them to start dealing damage earlier.

Named (meta) versions of modules typically require less CPU and thus are easier to fit on ships. Many give better performance, some use less capacitor per cycle, and some may even be selling for cheaper in trade hubs than non-named vanilla T1 modules. T2 modules typically grant higher performance but at very steep fitting costs and prices. Fitting your ship with named of T2 modules will give you higher damage output on killmails as well as greater survivability in fleets. Note that you can also purchase faction ammunition for increased dps.<br><br>

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
