Minmatar Republic Standard Frigates Rifter Class RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES EVE Online Ships Overview EXTERNAL LINKS Rifter on zKillboard Rifter on EVE Workbench Rifter on Janice Rifter on EVE Ref Rifter on Eve Online Wiki

The Rifter is a very powerful combat frigate and can easily tackle the best frigates out there. It has gone through many radical design phases since its inauguration during the Minmatar Rebellion. The Rifter has a wide variety of offensive capabilities, making it an unpredictable and deadly adversary.

Summary

The Rifter is the primary damage frigate for Minmatar. For tackling a Slasher or Merlin is by far better. While the Rifter used to be considered the best T1 frigate (leading to many memes surrounding it), it has been severely nerfed.

Fitting

Generic Eve Uni Fittings

These fittings were designed by Unistas to help a new eve player, as a consequence they are designed to be a fit that is quick to get into and cheap to fly, not necessarily the best.

• You could run the afterburner indefinitely either by training Afterburner III and Energy Systems Operation III or by replacing one Shield Power Relay with a Power Diagnostic System I (weakening the tank slightly).
• With Engineering IV you have the option of fitting 150mm autocannons.

NOTES

• The rigs are the most expensive on this ship, but it gets the job done. Alternatively one can chose to use +resist rigs in the form of EM, Thermic and Kinetic resist rigs.
• This is a skill heavy fit. It's useful as secondary point and as a damage dealer. One sacrifices the MWD for heavier guns and a passive shield buffer.

Tactics

For Tackling in a Rifter, spiraling is key. The ship is agile and fast enough that a pilot can use a standard spiral with a MWD. The only concern will be on final approach (30 km or so) to pulse the MWD so that the increased signature radius doesn't come in to play as much. If the ship is AB fit, the pilot may consider tightening the Spiral slightly, risking a little more (but still tankable) damage in order to decrease closing time.

Both of these techniques are elaborated in the EVE uni guide to tackling

Roles

Solo PVP

The Rifter is an excellent ship for rookie pilots to learn their trade in due to the ship's endurance and it's low cost.

The Rookie Rifter guide nothing more needs to be said aside from reference to this excellent piece of work.

In Uni blobs

Mainly used in a tackling role. Focus is therefore on EITHER a MWD or an AB - MWD for sheer speed but at increased sig radius, AB provides a speed boost without the penalty to the increase sig radius, It is much a matter of personal preference but bear in mind that a MWD makes you a whole world easier to target!

For more on tackling please see: EVE uni guide to tackling

Notes

This vessel qualifies for the University Ship Replacement Program, PYOS, and BYOM.
