| === Tactical Choices === | | === Tactical Choices === |
| Your choice of ship may be based on the racial weapons training that you have done in your early days. Luckily, each race offers a selection of [[frigates]], one of which can be used for close in fighting, and one of which can be used in long distance fighting. Thus, you can be sure that a Caldari frigate will use rockets or missiles, that an Amarr ship will use energy weapons, and so on. Cruisers and larger ships can deviate from this pattern.
| | Drones are a specialty of the Gallente. The Tristan is the only frigate that can carry a full flight of light combat drones. This makes it an easy choice for players who want to focus on drones. |
|
| |
|
| This chart shows typical frigate choices for the two types of tactics. These are just observations - you should always do a close analysis of a ship relative to your skills before you buy one.
