Introduction
The below setups are good examples of frigate fits that can be used in PVP-BASIC Class. If you have been pvping solo or in small gangs, the lack of tank and MWD may stand out as odd. Keep in mind, however, that EWAR and agility are the Hydra Fleet's main tank.
Feel Free to upgrade from T1 to Named or T2 as your budget and fitting skills allow. Meta 1 or 2 Named is sometimes cheaper than T1 non-named modules while being more effective and usually easier to fit. These suggested setups have been upgraded to cheap named modules, but are designed to fit a complete T1 non-named fit if needed.
If you want to bring a Frigate not listed below or make a different fit, note the following when fitting for the BASIC Class:
- Lowslot Priorities
- Damage Mods for DPS Frigates; or EWAR Support for EWAR Frigates
- CPU Upgrade / RCU / MAPC as needed
- Agility Mods
- Speed Mods
- Tank
- Midslot Priorities
- Afterburner required (MWD allowed for Alumni)
- EWAR in all remaining Midslots
- Hislot Priorities
- DPS (see WARNING below)
- Remote Repair (Offline as needed)
- Salvage
- Drones: An armor maintenance bot is highly recommended if your ship has a drone bay. It will typically be used between runs pvp to repair you gang members. If the situation changes suddenly be prepared to lose it. Carry a couple extra drones in cargo for refit if the FC gives the fleet a break at a station.
WARNING: Setups utilizing blasters, autocannons, and rocket launchers with low missile range skills are vulnerable to smartbombing battleships. We will cover how to see & avoid this in class. If you choose to fly one of these high DPS short range setups, then pay extra attention to Ventrilo to hear "No Bombs" recon before approaching a Battleship closer than 6km.
