===T1 Frigates===

Solo T1 frigates have become rarer sights in FW space, and many that are seen are either "farmers" (players capturing Complexes for FW points who will run away from any combat), or part of a small gang rather than truly solo. For this reason, any player flying T1 frigates in Low Sec should not expect to get many fights against similar fitted players, and should expect to also take challenging fights against Faction ~~frigates~~ or T1 Destroyers, and ~~should~~ prepare accordingly. T1 fits which work effectively tend to be "~~surprise~~" fits designed to out-wit more expensive ships, such as a dual web [[Merlin]] or kiting [[Punisher]].

===Faction / Pirate Frigates===

Line 83:

Faction frigates are a slightly more expensive, but still affordable step up from T1 frigates. While powerful, they can still be killed by a skilled T1 pilot, and should be seen as an extension of the frigate meta game when devising tactics. The [[Federation Navy Comet]] is arguably the most popular frigate in Low Sec space, due to its excellent balance of low cost (and SP requirement) against high combat effectiveness. Other ships such as the [[Caldari Navy Hookbill]] and [[Imperial Navy Slicer]] are also effective at fighting a wide range of opponents.

Pirate frigates are substantially more expensive, but also have subtantial advantages versus almost all other frigate variants, and are some of the toughest opponents in PvP. ~~In skilled hands they~~ are ~~able~~ to ~~take on ships substantially larger than themselves~~, ~~or multiple other frigates simultaneously~~. These are quite advanced ships, and new pilots should probably not be flying nor fighting them without backup.

Pirate frigates are substantially more expensive, but also have subtantial advantages versus almost all other frigate variants, and are some of the toughest opponents in PvP. Many, such as the Succubus or Daredevil are deliberately designed to "break" the typical rules of the solo PvP meta in some way, making them hard to counter with tactics alone. These are quite advanced ships, and new pilots should probably not be flying nor fighting them without backup.
