The Rifter is the primary damage frigate for Minmatar. For tackling, a [[Slasher]] or [[Merlin]] is by far better. While the Rifter used to be considered the best T1 frigate in the game (leading to many memes surrounding it), it has been nerfed to be similar in abilities to the others. A balanced 4/3/3 layout gives the Rifter the ability to either shield or armor tank and provides flexibility in fitting.

The Vigil is the Tech 1 [[Electronic warfare|EWAR]] ship of the Minmatar Republic. ~~This ship is the fastest standard T1 frigate, and makes a decent first-strike tackler. The bonus to target~~ painters ~~isn't that~~ useful~~, as target painters~~ are stacking penalized in effectiveness, and work reasonably well on hulls without bonuses to them.

The Vigil is the Tech 1 [[Electronic warfare|EWAR]] ship of the Minmatar Republic. Target painters are only situationally useful; they are also stacking penalized in effectiveness, and work reasonably well on hulls without bonuses to them.
