These will generally just be tacklers. Point, web, speed mod, overdrives etc in lows & mids, irrelevant ~~dps~~ or ~~nos~~ etc in highs.

These will generally just be tacklers. Point, web, speed mod, overdrives etc in lows & mids, irrelevant DPS or [[NOS]] etc in highs. Notable exceptions: The Rifter is one of the best T1 combat frigs, and by most people even considered THE best. In a dogfighting fit with autocannons, afterburner, web and scram, it can take on most other frigs, and even some larger targets, and win (watch out for the Taranis (Gallente combat interceptor) and all the [[Frigate#Assault Ships|assault frigates]] though). Punisher and Incursus are the Amarr and Gallente equivalents, but they don't quite reach the level of the Rifter. [[Frigate#T1_Frigates|(More Details)]]

=== T2 Frigates ===

====Interceptors (Inty / 'ceptor) ====

These are the primary tacklers in anything but 0.0 (where dictors and hics take over). They have the highest scan resolution of any class, and only Vigils (Minmatar electronic warfare frig) can match their speed. Their main purpose is tackling, and that's what they do best, but many interceptors can also be refit to be effective combat ships in an interceptor only gang. Their firepower and tank will be low compared to other types of ships, but they have the advantage of very high speed (even when tank & gank fitted) and awesome agility.

==== Covert Ops ====

They can warp cloaked, and are used as scouts and for probing stuff down. Can also be used for tackling stuff it has scouted/probed out, but that's only for experienced people that know what they can and can't hold long enough for help to arrive, and ~~what~~ targets are worth the risk.

==== Stealth Bombers (SB) ====

Super high ~~dps~~/alpha frigates that can warp cloaked and doesn't have a sensor recalibration delay after decloaking. In 0.0, they can also launch bombs (basically a large, higher damage smartbomb). They have trouble hitting small targets with their torpedoes though. [[Frigate#Stealth_Bombers|(More Details)]]

==== Electronic Attack Ships (EAS) ====

These vary ~~allot~~ from race to race. Basically, they are frigate sized ~~version~~ of the combat recons that will be described below. [[Frigate#Electronic_Attack_Ships|(More Details)]]

==== Assault Ships (AS / AF) ====

High tank, usually high ~~dps~~ frigates. If you get tackled by one of these, you're generally not going anywhere, they're a pain to get rid of when properly fitted. ~~The~~ disadvantage compared to interceptors is that they're slower, and often sacrifice their MWD and fit an AB instead to be able to survive longer after getting the target tackled.
