Summary
The Federation Navy Comet, sometimes shortened to FedNav Comet or just Comet, is the Gallente faction frigate and, while technically upgraded from a Tristan, flies more like a souped-up Incursus. While it lacks the role bonuses of pirate faction frigates, the Comet's frigate skill bonuses can almost match them in power.
Quite a bit more costly than a T1 frigate, but not nearly as much as pirate frigates, the Comet is a good and fun ship that can let you blitz some lower level missions, solo in PvP or small-gang tackle PvP. Just be sure you can replace for when you lose it.
The comet is one of the most versatile t1 frigs. It is commonly flown in two variations: Brawling (fitted with blasters), a small neut, and 2 drones it can devastate any t1 frigate (given that you get into range) Scram kiting (with 150mm rail guns) and afterburner, this strategy allows to engage targets at 9k distances and far away targets (with spike or iron ammo), the drones allow for versatile dps to be applied at any range. The scram kiting comet, is commonly active tank with a single armor repper and hull enhancing rigs (t2 ideally)

Tracking Speed Disruption Script x1
Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S x1
- A fast PvP fit, with good dps, an energy neutralizer, a tracking disruptor and a scram. Overall a nasty frigate for small roams. For fights with a large number of opponents it however lack tank to be able to survive long.
- As fitted, with all skills at V and before boosts, this ship has 5.6 K EHP, flies at 3285 m/s (4705 m/s with MWD overheated) and align in 4.3 s (2.8 s with MWD off)
- The cap will last for 1 min 2 s
- Damage is 297 dps, 59 dps from the drones and the balance at 1.1 + 3.1 km with Caldari Navy Antimatter
- The energy neutralizer removes 9 GJ/s of cap, draining most frigates dry in 20 to 40 s.
- The tracking disruptor reduce the opponent tracking speed by 47%, allowing for a much safer approach as long as you keep some transversal.

- A tankier PvP fit. Compared to the previous fit, a bit slower, lower damage, but almost double the tank and has both a point and a web.
- As fitted, with all skills at V and before boosts, this ship has 9.1 K EHP, flies at 3090 m/s (4401 m/s with MWD overheated) and align in 4.9 s (3.5 s with MWD off)
- The cap will last for 2 min 13 s
- Damage is 193 dps, 59 dps from the drones and the balance at 0.8 + 1.9 km with Caldari Navy Antimatter.

- Kite your opponent at the edge of scram range, using approach and keep at range to ensure your tranversal stays low and your shots hit. Use antimatter and hobgoblins for anything you can scram and warriors and iridium for anything that is kiting you at long point range.
- This fit is quite viable with blasters, with some tweaks, but is less flexible with its lower range, and more suited to supporting a fleet with high DPS.

- This fit may be used solo or in a small gang alike, you'll need. It is comparable to a beam slicer: it's going to be slightly worse than one stats wise but it will be a lot more unexpected, it also packs a defensive web so it's more forgiving to fly. (pre-overheat it and spam the button if someone is getting dangerously close to you). It's going to struggle with cap just like a slicer does. This ship can be flown in lowsec but you might struggle to track AB ships so you should be careful. Thorium will be your default ammo, Spike is for poking at long range and Javelin is when you get caught.

- This fit is to be used in Nullsec. It is the easiest scram-kiting MWD fit to fly and is great for beginners as it's buffer tanked and has a web, if you watch eveiseasy videos (and you should if you want to solo in null) you might consider this as a more expensive, more powerful and tankier kestrel. However, being easy to fly means it might be suboptimal, a dual prop active tanked scram-kiting comet would be harder to fly but theoretically more powerful.
- Antimatter is your default ammo and hobgoblins are your default drones, Iron and warriors will help you fend-off kiters. Spike S will allow you to poke at long range and Javelin should be used against ships trying to get under your guns.

- This fit is to be used in nullsec. It is a harder scram-kiting MWD fit to fly but has the best Damge/Tank/Range control ratio you could hope for in Null, the exact same fit is usable with neutron blaster in a brawling variant if that's more your thing. Be careful of AB only ships as they might screw with your tracking if you weren't careful and are being outtracked by someone orbiting at 0, double clicking in space and overloading prop will help a lot. Be careful with your cap as you'll need to manage it carefully, if a neut ship manages to brawl you you'll be better off deactivating your amor rep all together and count solely on your hull rigs.

Void S x320
- This fit is to be used in nullsec, the Nos is going to help with your cap issues, the web will allow you to apply void DPS to the MWD ships you manage to catch as long as you manage to negate transversal (which is not too hard when both ships travel at 200 m/s). You may drop the NOS and replace the web by an afterburner. That would allow you to have better range control in exchange of worse capacitor and no void.
- Antimatter is your default ammo, warriors will help you poke kiters while you are trying to slingshot them. Null S should be used against people who are succeeding at scram-kiting you. Void S can be used if you are succeeding to brawl and the other guy is bad at picking up transversal. This fit might be usable in gang of small frigates too but you will be committing hard as you'll generally struggle to disengage once you are in scram range. The dual prop variation of this fit might be better to fly in gangs as you'll disengage more easily if things go wrong.
Tactics

Notes
There is also a reskinned version of the Comet, the Police Pursuit Comet, which has identical attributes to the Federation Navy Comet but a mostly white color scheme with grey and dark green Gallente accents, and of course blinking blue and red lights. It is usually slightly more expensive than its navy counterpart.
