Triforce Frigate Fleet

Triforce Frigate Fleet

Concept

The concept is simple: A Three-pronged fleet consisting of DD/Tracking, Logi, and E-War. More than anything, this is an experiment in the viability of a shield-based frigate roam with logi/E-War support.

Fits

The fits below are recommended for a fleet of this composition, but any shield-fit frigates (including T2 frigates!) are more than welcome.

DD/Tackle

Any shield-tanked DD frigate will do, but here is one example fit from each race. All of the DD/Tackle fits are courtesy of the UniWiki and Azual skoll. All players are encouraged to fit to their skill level between the low-skill and fully-T2 versions of these fits.

Logi

Both Bantam and Burst are acceptable ships, but I've listed two Bantam fits because the Bantam has a slightly larger capacitor than the Burst. Again, players are encouraged to fit as high as their skills/wallet will allow.

Tactics

Mobility

One of the biggest advantages of a frigate fleet is its mobility; small ships can travel quickly and engage/disengage quickly. A shield frigate fleet is preferable for this very reason; The obvious downside to this mobility is the fragility of the ships; an FC must choose fights carefully and understand how to engage and disengage in ways that protect the fragile fleet.
