When there's only one target on the field it's pretty obvious whom you should be tackling. Normally however, there are multiple targets to choose from and you're not the only tackler in your fleet. So whom do you tackle? As described in the [[The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops#Rookie_Tackler_Tips|Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops]] '''you should pick a target whose character's name starts with the same letter as yours, or as close as possible in the alphabet'''. Naturally '''if your fleet/wing/squad commander has given you other orders follow those'''. But in the absence of specific direction, following this guidance will help ensure that your fleet's points are spread amongst the enemy fairly evenly. Pay attention to calls on Mumble and try to pick a different target if somebody else has already pointed the flashy you were headed for, or if your designated target is too far away or too fast for you to catch.

=== Gate Timers ===
=== Weapon and Session Timers ===


'''Once you commit a hostile act, you cannot use jump gates (or dock) for 60 seconds.''' A canny target with sufficient tank can stop aggressing, wait out their timer, and then jump through the gate and get away.
'''Once you commit a hostile act against another player, you cannot use jump gates (or dock) for 60 seconds.''' A canny target with sufficient tank can stop aggressing, wait out their [[Timers#Weapon_Timer|Weapon Timer]], and then jump through the gate and get away.


To prevent this happening, most FCs will reserve a small number of tacklers that do not aggress, so that they also can go through the gate and engage any target attempting to flee. Often these tacklers are sent through first, so they can take up position ready to catch a fleeing ship.

In this situation, tank can be important. In the worst case, you might need to hold a hostile ship for the full sixty seconds while your allies' timers expire, plus another 10 or so while they jump and load grid.

Some T1 frigates can use at least 1 small drone and you should utilize that, even if it wont make much difference individually. Not using the drone bay pretty much equals not using a slot on your ship. A simple combat drone like a hobgoblin or a warrior is fine, if you trained up your drone skills you could maybe use an e-war drone. Anything is fine really, as long as you use it.

=== Close Ranged 'Scram' Tacklers ===


While the attack frigates are fast, they are also quite fragile. Because of that, many people prefer to use the t1 'combat' frigates for their close range tacklers - the Rifter, Merlin, Incursus, Punisher and Tormentor.


The job of a scram tackler is to get in close and hold a target until it dies. This means carrying a warp scrambler and plenty of tank to help you stay alive. If you have a spare mid slot a stasis webifier is a natural fit. Despite what you might think, being in close usually much safer than orbiting at range, because it makes you harder to hit. Often the best plan for a scram tackler is to orbit as close to their target as possible.


The fits below work with either microwarpdrives or afterburners. Remember that you'll take more damage with a MWD running, so only use it to get into range and then turn it off. Like long ranged tacklers, the most effective tank for a scram tackler is usually a shield tank for extra speed. However since they don't rely on speed quite so much as their long range counterparts, an armour tank can also work well.

While most Amarr ships armour tank, the tackle Tormentor works very well as a shield tanker, allowing it to use its low slots to enhance its speed. Thanks to the tormentor's strong powergrid, it doesn't even need a micro auxiliary power core in order to fit a shield extender! Perfect! It also has room for two drones - don't forget to use them. You might need to leave a turret off until your skills are more developed.

* The slasher is an excellent tackler thanks to its natural high speed, low signature radius, and four mid slots allowing it to fit both a shield extender and a sensor booster. Since it's autocannons don't use capacitor, it also has more cap spare to run your tackle modules.

In fact, the Executioner has enough powergrid that even with starting skills you won't need to use a MAPC to fit it, although you leave your high slots empty or fit autocannons instead of pulse lasers (like above). While shield tanking an Amarr ship may seem a little odd, the extra speed makes a big difference for a tackler.

* Thanks to its shield resistance bonus, the Merlin is one of the best close range tackler frigs around. With a medium shield extender this Merlin fit is very tough, while it also has plenty of mid slots for tackle or electronic warfare.
* This fit has plenty of CPU spare so you can easily swap that stasis webifier for a tracking disruptor or other ewar module if you prefer, allowing you to cause even more pain for your target.
* If you have reasonably good fitting skills and want to do some more damage, you might be able to squeeze some blasters on there instead of the 75mm rails.

* The incursus is a great tackler thanks to its three mid slots and good speed. Despite having a bonus to armour repairers, a tackler incursus works very well with a shield tank. Like the tormentor, it has plenty of powergrid allowing you to fit a medium shield without needing a micro auxiliary power core to do so. With its four mid slots giving it excellent speed, this is arguably one of the best tackler fits around.
* This ship has a reasonable amount of cpu left, meaning you can fit a warp disruptor if you prefer. If you have decent fitting skills, this ship is a natural with blasters.

* Thanks to its large number of low slots, the Incursus also makes a good armour tanker. This takes less powergrid than the shield tanked version, letting you fit blasters more easily for some close range damage as well as freeing up a mid slot for another tackle or ewar mod.
* The armour Incursus is slower and more fragile than the shield tanked version, and since armour rigs are more expensive than shield rigs you might not want to rig it. If you have the choice, the shield Incursus is probably a better setup for tackling.

* With a good mix of speed and HP, this is an excellent tackler setup. Unfortunately the Rifter doesn't have as much powergrid as the Incursus or Tormentor, forcing it to use a micro auxiliary power core in order to fit a shield extender. Thankfully its excellent base speed makes up for this lost low slot.
