=== Damage Dealer ===

Damage Dealer frigates are typically split into two sub categories, Launcher and Turret, as they have slightly different focuses. In general, they tend to have the ability to take a little more damage than their counterparts and deal out a little more damage in return, but they are little match for a larger ship when alone. ~~Interestingly, the Gallente have two turret-focussed ships, as they do not tend to use missiles - although the Tristan can fit launchers, it receives no bonus for them.~~

==== Launcher ====

* [[Kestrel]] Good Level 1 mission runner, kites well.

* [[Tormentor]] 10% bonus to Small Energy Turret capacitor use and 5% Small Energy Turret damage per skill level.

* [[Merlin]] Four midslots. Can mount big tank, or full tackle plus a sensor booster for fast lock-ons.

* [[Incursus]] Nice DPS when close up with blasters but short range. ~~Lack of low slots.~~

* [[Incursus]] Nice DPS when close up with blasters but short range. Can mount a strong active armor tank

* [[Tristan]] ~~Unhelpful split turret/launcher hardpoints~~. ~~May be dangerous with good, well-skilled pilot~~

* [[Tristan]] Can field a full set of five light scout drones.

* [[Rifter]] High DPS, fast and effective frigate. Primary role as tackle or frigate DPS. Buffer tanked usually.
