It has a bonus to both [[Turrets#Hybrid turrets|Hybrid Turret]] tracking speed and [[Drones|Drone]] hitpoints and tracking speed, which gives it high damage application and projection at any range. The drones are an excellent tool in both PvP and PvE, and the Tristan is the only Tech 1 frigate that can field a full flight of 5 light combat drones. | ||

As a Tech 1 frigate, the Tristan is a cheap and relatively forgiving ship. New pilots should feel able to step into one with minimal preparation. Like any ship, though, the Tristan's performance can be boosted dramatically by improved character skills. Furthermore, its reliance on drones makes it more skill-intensive than the [[Incursus]] for very new pilots. | As a Tech 1 frigate, the Tristan is a cheap and relatively forgiving ship.

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 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.

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. Fitting some Tech 2 Drones and blasters can achieve shocking DPS (150-160 or so). 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. | 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 ship is probably named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristan Tristan], a hero from high medieval chivalric romances. Most versions of Tristan's story involve a doomed love affair with Iseult, the bride of Tristan's liege lord, and the legend was eventually incorporated into the cycle of stories surrounding King Arthur. | The ship is probably named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristan Tristan], a hero from high medieval chivalric romances.
