Electronic Warfare
A small handful of ewar ships can wreck havoc on your fleet, so it's key to always disable or destroy them as quickly as possible. The most dangerous ewar is probably ECM, although dampening and tracking disrupting can both cause issues.
- Frigates - Griffin, Crucifier, Maulus
- T2 Frigates - Kitsune, Sentinel, Keres
- Cruisers - Blackbird, Arbitrator, Celestis
- T2 Cruisers - Falcon, Rook, Pilgrim, Curse, Arazu, Lachesis
- Battleships - Widow
Anti-Support
These ships are masters of quickly destroying light ships. Most of these ships will easily kill your tacklers and ewar ships very quickly, and so should be dispatched quickly by your own support/anti-support. These targets make good TTAP options if you're in a light ship.
- T2 Frigates - Taranis, Claw, Crow, Crusader, Harpy, Ishkur
- Cruisers - Vexor, Arbitrator, Caracal
- T2 Cruisers - Curse, Ishtar, Vagabond, Muninn, Cerberus, Eagle, Zealot, Rapier, Huginn
- Battleships - Dominix
Sniping
These ships can hit at long range(~50km for destroyers, ~100km for HACs, up to 250km for battleships). Always be cautious if you see these at range, and if they have the potential to instantly destroy you you'll want to keep up your transversal or warp out.
- Destroyers - Cormorant, Thrasher
- T2 Cruisers - Zealot, Muninn, Eagle
- T2 Battlecruisers - Vulture
- Battleships - Apocalypse, Rokh, Tempest, Maelstrom, Megathron
Other ships can snipe, but these are the ones which are most commonly used.
Tackling
These are the ships that are going to be tackling you. Always be suspicious when you see one of these ships on its own because it will often have friends.
- Frigates - Vigil
- T2 Frigates - Stiletto, Malediction, Raptor, Ares, Claw, Crusader, Crow, Taranis
- Interdictors - Sabre, Heretic, Flycatcher, Eris
- T2 Cruisers - Rapier, Huginn, Arazu, Lachesis
- Heavy Interdictors - Broadsword, Devoter, Onyx, Phobos
