Tristan: Difference between revisions

Line 104:

In small-scale frigate versus frigate PvP, the Tristan can brawl with blasters, drones, and a basic tank, or it can try to kite and let its drones bring its target down. It is also possible to fit energy neutralizers for [[capacitor warfare]], much like in some of the Tristan's bigger siblings, such as the [[Vexor]] and [[Dominix]]. Neutralizers can be a nasty surprise for a frigate that has underestimated the Tristan and gotten too close, but their energy drain on the Tristan itself will have to be managed carefully, and might well require a cap booster to inject more energy.

In larger-scale PvP the [[Atron]] is a more effective pure tackle frigate than the Tristan, and new characters are likely to extract more DPS from the [[Incursus]]. The Tristan finds niche uses nevertheless, because it has a huge drone bay for a ship so small and so cheap. Swarms of Tristans can launch enough drones to deliver ferocious DPS, even achieving enough damage to attack structures, making it a low-SP siege ship. The Tristan can also boost its drone control range and fight at surprisingly long distances if other ships can hold its targets in place; it is even possible for the Tristan to use one (but only one) sentry drone.
