[[Kestrel]] - {{co|#bfbb7d|Caldari}} - {{co|#768d31|Missiles}}. This ship has four standard launchers. Such missile systems make for good starter weapons because they need no capacitor energy, and [[missiles]] fly directly to their targets without worry about falloff, tracking speed, and the other limitations of turrets. Missile ships usually stay at long range and "snipe" their enemies, a tactic that can be used even by players with minimal skills. | [[Kestrel]] - {{co|#bfbb7d|Caldari}} - {{co|#768d31|Missiles}}.

[[Punisher]] - {{co|#bfbb7d|Amarr}} - {{co|#768d31|Laser Turrets}}. With excellent armour | [[Punisher]] - {{co|#bfbb7d|Amarr}} - {{co|#768d31|Laser Turrets}}. With excellent armour strength, a bonus to armour resistances, and five low slots for installing armor fittings, this is one of the strongest T1 frigates in terms of defense. Its four turrets can give a reasonable damage output. (But note that laser turrets only do thermal and EMP damage ... no kinetic or explosive is available.) | ||
[[Rifter]] - {{co|#bfbb7d|Minmatar}} - {{co|#768d31|Projectile Turrets}}. The Rifter has 3 mid and 4 low equipment slots, which gives it the ability to either shield or armor tank and provides flexibility in fitting. Its speed is an advantage, and it has bonuses for projectile turrets. None-the-less, other factions' frigates tend to be chosen ahead of the Rifter. | [[Rifter]] - {{co|#bfbb7d|Minmatar}} - {{co|#768d31|Projectile Turrets}}.
