The Comet's design comes from one Arnerore Rylerave, an engineer and researcher of the Roden Shipyards corporation. Originally created as a standard-issue police patrol vessel, its tremendous maneuverability and great offensive capabilities catapulted it into the Navy's ranks, where it is now a widely-used skirmish vessel.

Summary

The Federation Navy Comet, sometimes shortened to FedNav Comet or just Comet, is the Gallente faction frigate and, while technically upgraded from a Tristan, flies more like a souped-up Incursus. While it lacks the role bonuses of pirate faction frigates, the Comet's frigate skill bonuses can almost match them in power. Its exceptional base structure allows a pilot to hull tank it on top of armor tanking it, and coupled with its insane base damage it has one of the best Damage/EHP ratios among frigates. On top of that, its base speed is very decent.

Quite a bit more costly than a T1 frigate, but not nearly as much as pirate frigates, the Comet's primary purpose is solo PvP, though it might find some uses in small gang frigate PvP too. It might also let you blitz some lower level missions.

Skills

Training Gallente Frigate to IV or even V is strongly recommended due to the massive DPS increase with each level trained.

Tactics

The Comet is one of the most versatile T1 frigates. It is commonly flown in two variations: Brawling may come in several variants, active armor tanked with a NOS, buffer tanked with a Neut or even dual-propped. Its drones coupled with great null damage make it very difficult to scram-kite.

The scram kiting comet too can be either active tanked, buffer tanked or dual-propped. Its drones coupled with long range ammo might come in very handy for fending off kiters, even with an AB fitted.

The comet is also flyable as a kiting boat, it is mostly inferior to the Slicer stats-wise but a kiting Comet brings a big element of surprise. It is also more forgiving than a Slicer to fly as you get a defensive web.
