* Combat scanner (either in a Tech 1 exploration frigate, or a Tech 2 Covert Ops frigate). If an agressor is monitoring us from a safe spot, it might be useful to scan him or her down using Combat Scanning Probes.

* Anti-frigate support. If our opponents are flying lots of fast frigates--unusual in low sec, but possible--they may be able to evade the turrets on our heavy tacklers. Light missiles are a great counter to frigate swarms. the rapid light missile launcher-fitted [[Caracal]] is probably the most common counter to frigates, but missile destroyers like the [[Talwar]] or [[Corax]] also work.

* Damage dealer. Along with the four heavy combat cruisers described earlier, each race also a light attack cruiser: the [[Omen]], [[Caracal]], [[Thorax]] and [[Stabber]]. These cruisers are bonused for damage rather than tank, and so are useful to add that extra bit of damage necessary to finish off an opponent. I expect that we will outnumber our opponents, and when this is the case, heavy tackle is more appropriate. Nevertheless, I can imagine situations where more damage might help.
