Tackling: Difference between revisions

Line 314:

In addition to the actual hitpoints, the high speed of the tackler frigate should help reduce the amount of damage that they take. It generally does not reduce it enough to prevent damage entirely - even on a specialised Tech 2 interceptor - however combined with a few tanking modules it should keep them alive for longer. If the tackler has any low slots or rig slots left over after fitting the tank, it's a good idea to fill them with modules which enhance the tackler's speed (such as Overdrive Injectors or Small Auxiliary Thruster rigs).

For simple PvP guidance, noting that a Warp Scrambler (scram) shuts down MWDs, remember that you should first decide the range you plan to fight at. If you will be fighting within close/brawling range, a Warp Scrambler will give you good bang for buck but you should expect to be scrammed back and would lose your MWD perhaps consider choosing an AB first. If you are fighting at longer ranges, you may choose to use a Warp Disruptor (point) and get away with an MWD but taking care not to get to close enough to your prey to be scrammed and your MWD disabled.

There are the extra considerations mentioned above, such as increased signature radius and speed from an MWD, but as a starting point the choice to combine scram with MWD likely means losing use of the MWD as you get into scram range. Similarly, point with AB means the prey can speed around with their MWD still on and control the battlespace, potentially zipping off out of point range and warping away, even though you managed to point them. So, perhaps consider starting with close range+scram+AB(+web) or longer range+point+MWD.
