The main focus of any Blackbird fit should be the midslots, followed by the lowslots. Note, when flying a blackbird be careful as you likely will have little to no tank so you will be dependent on your jammers or your fellow Unistas to survive. Try to always fight aligned in a Blackbird, that means you select a close by planet or some such, hit align and then start jamming away. When you get shot at and you have no warp-disruptors on then you can go instantly to warp, allowing you to return to the fight again. A dead Blackbird is no use to anyone. | ||

*The extra midslot thus freed up can be fitted with a Sensor Booster, or a fifth jammer. This example fit has an extra Minmatar jammer for lowsec roams -- although Minmatar ships have weaker sensor strengths, they're also very popular with lowsec pirates. For war fleets or nullsec work you may want to consider a different race. | *The extra midslot thus freed up can be fitted with a Sensor Booster, or a fifth jammer.
