Tristan
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES
|
Often nicknamed The Fat Man this nimble little frigate is mainly used by the Federation in escort duties or on short-range patrols. The Tristan has been very popular throughout Gallente space for years because of its versatility. It is rather expensive, but buyers will definitely get their money's worth, as the Tristan is one of the more powerful frigates available on the market. SHIP BONUSES
Gallente Frigate Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret damage and 7.5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret tracking speed per skill level.

Summary
The Tristan is the gallente heavy frigate. It is superficially similar to the Rifter, with the same 4/3/3 slot layout, but there are a number of things that make the Tristan much less popular. The Tristan is not particularly fast or agile compared to the Rifter. It has 2/2 split weapon systems between turrets and launchers, meaning you get less extra bang from the hull bonus. This is especially problematic for new gallente players, who will not have encountered missiles before and may even have trouble finding the skillbooks for them in gallente space. Finally its preferred weapon combinations - blasters and rockets or rails and missiles - have high combined powergrid requirements, making for trickier fitting. All of this is somewhat offset by its 5m3 drone bay.
Despite these negatives the Tristan is not a bad ship in absolute terms and can serve well as a solo ship for players that are willing to train the extra skills to graduate from the easier to fly Incursus.
