Bad Rifters will still die, but being able to kill bad frigate pilots is the baseline for any frigate fit rather than the aim. <br /><br />At T1 frigate level, I mostly use brawling frigates since the DPS is too low to drop tackle fast once they're caught.Suleiman Shouaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457363105618764197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-11280926239888142842012-05-10T14:21:37.859-05:002012-05-10T14:21:37.859-05:00It does fit.

And to any curious onlookers has stats like this:<br /><br />[Statistics - All V]<br />Effective HP: 17,411 (Eve: 14,828)<br />Tank Ability: 3.68 DPS<br />Shield Resists - EM: 12.50%, Ex: 56.25%, Ki: 47.50%, Th: 30.00%<br />Armor Resists - EM: 76.09%, Ex: 61.75%, Ki: 64.14%, Th: 68.92%<br />Capacitor (Stable at 89.73%)<br />Volley Damage: 162.02<br />DPS: 75.01<br />Range: .600km Optimal 5km Falloff<br />Propulsion: Speed 364m/s Align 5.01s<br /><br />I don't think I have to tell you just how bad those propulsion stats are. I don't think I could recommend this ship for anything more than bait, as it would have no survivability just jumping through gates and DPS/Damage Projection/Speed are so low that I don't think it could keep any ship on the field long enough to kill them. Then again, if you wanted to bait someone, any Cruiser hull would do the job better.FNGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728186789797445881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-17930175280708334082012-05-10T14:12:14.684-05:002012-05-10T14:12:14.684-05:00I'm glad I could at least provide you with a g...I'm glad I could at least provide you with a good chuckle. While I think it's great that the Punisher finally saw a damage bonus to Lasers, I don't think it means the AC Punisher has no place anymore. The freed fittings alone give it unique advantages that a similar Laser fit doesn't have. As far as people dictating range and whittling you down, it just doesn't happen nearly as often in practice as one would think. I've won more fights against Rifters trying to do just that in an AC Punisher than I've ever lost. Usually because the Rifter pilot, so far into his own falloff, says. "My DPS isn't breaking his tank at this range, and he's doing almost no damage to me, I should dive in close to finish him." When they realize their mistake, it's just too late to do anything about it. In my personal experience, the added range of Scorch did more to drive people off than it actually managed to get anymore kills.<br /><br />I'd really like to see your take on the Frigates after the change Sule, because I've always been much more of a Brawler than a Kiter, and I'm sure your take on the new potential of these ships would be a lot different than mine.FNGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728186789797445881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-73445970724098065212012-05-10T12:01:22.890-05:002012-05-10T12:01:22.890-05:00I'm still chuckling over people using Bleeder ...I'm still chuckling over people using Bleeder AC Punisher fits. Hint: any frigate with a web will dictate range over you and just whittle you down whilst you curse how bad Barrage's projection is unbonused.Suleiman Shouaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457363105618764197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-87907059624487297532012-05-10T10:53:01.236-05:002012-05-10T10:53:01.236-05:00Your AC bleeder is very similar to the Punisher i ...Your AC bleeder is very similar to the Punisher i run, however i recommend 150's. They allow you to hit the much faster Rifters and such-not while you are being webbed or just being slow as hell in general. You can also use cheaper mods instead of the M4's due to lower fitting reqs. Unless you are kiting, 150's will always be better vs frigs at close range orbit.<br /><br />Also, as Lunkwill mentioned, buffer/rep may be second-rate now due to the improved DPS laser fits have. <br /><br />Love the LoLEHP fit btw. :DShegunna Blowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558989472139196537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-20051085248453484232012-05-10T03:57:24.348-05:002012-05-10T03:57:24.348-05:00The following fits should fit:

My preferred punisher atm is a buffer/rep hybrid. I'm wondering if it'll go the way of the dodo.<br /><br />Also, CPU rigs will be introduced by then, which will open up more possibilities for the punisher and the slicer.Lunkwillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01059304867177952430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-26818037021744634212012-05-09T12:39:36.564-05:002012-05-09T12:39:36.564-05:00The Punisher is not the slowest ship off the once ...The Punisher is not the slowest ship off the once getting changed the merlin is.Kelsarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00801896168803163207noreply@blogger.com
