|info=The Kestrel is the most commonly flown frigate in EVE, even beating the Rifter. This is due to its strong PvE capabilities with four standard launchers. It is perfect for Level 1 missions, static complexes up to DED 2 and can also complete virtually all of the Sisters of EVE Epic Arc. It can be comfortably flown with fairly low skills, primarily due to its ability to 'Range Tank'. ie; stay at sufficient range to eliminate or mitigate a great deal of incoming damage. Furthermore, missile systems make for ideal starter weapons as they do not require capacitor energy (so reducing the need for good capacitor skills) and their damage is not affected by such factors as tracking, optimal ranges and falloff. This greatly simplifies matters for a beginning pilot. The Kestral also has a role as a tackle ship or anti support ship as it has a good slot layout and decent damage output. | |info=The Kestrel is the most commonly flown frigate in EVE, even beating the Rifter.
