The Merlin is the most powerful combat frigate of the Caldari. Its role has evolved through the years, and while its defenses have always remained exceptionally strong for a Caldari vessel, its offensive capabilities have evolved from versatile, jack-of-all-trades attack patterns into focused and deadly gunfire tactics. The Merlin's primary aim is to have its turrets punch holes in opponents' hulls.

Summary

The changes brought to the Merlin in Inferno (found here) have made it one of the best- if not the best- Tech 1 frigates in the game, especially for running Level I combat missions. Pilots may fit this ship to fulfill almost any need, whether it be a swift shield tanked tackler, a very tough shield tank or an above-average damage dealer.

Skills

Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Merlin for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.

A PvE Tech II fit, with MWD and excellent shield resists.
With all skills at V and before boosts, this ship has 9.4 K EHP, flies at 2814 m/s (4028 m/s with MWD on overheat) and align in 5 s (3.4 s with MWD off). The capacitor will run off in 2 min 51 s.
Damage varies between 170 dps at 0.9 + 2.5 km with Caldari Navy antimatter, and 143 dps at 2.6 + 3.5 km with Null. Like most Merlin fits, it requires an "up close and personal" brawling approach to be effective

With all skills at V and before boosts, this ship has 4.9 K EHP, flies at 977 m/s (1272 m/s with AB on overheat) and align in 5 s (3.4 s with AB off). The capacitor is stable.
Damage is 155 dps at 1.1 + 3.1 km with Caldari Navy antimatter.
If speed is required instead of dps, replace the magnetic field stabilizer by a nanofiber module. If additional dps is required at the expense of armor, replace the damage control by a magnetic field stabilizer.

An advanced and more expensive PvP fit, with MWD, rigs and Tech II modules.
With all skills at V and before boosts, this ship has 7.6 K EHP, flies at 2814 m/s (4028 m/s with MWD on overheat) and align in 5 s (3.4 s with MWD off). The capacitor is stable.
Damage varies between 165 dps at 0.9 + 2.5 km with Caldari Navy antimatter and 132 dps at 2.6 3.5 km with Null.
If additional speed is required instead of dps, replace the magnetic field stabilizer by a nanofiber module. If additional dps is required at the expense of armor, replace the damage control by a magnetic field stabilizer.
