Development
The Comet's design comes from one Arnerore Rylerave, an engineer and researcher of the Roden Shipyards corporation. Originally created as a standard-issue police patrol vessel, its tremendous maneuverability and great offensive capabilities catapulted it into the Navy's ranks, where it is now a widely-used skirmish vessel.

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. Its exceptional base structure allows to hull tank it on top of armor tanking it, coupled with its insane base damage it has one of the best Damage/EHP ratio among frigates. On top of that, its base speed is very decent.

Quite a bit more costly than a T1 frigate, but not nearly as much as pirate frigates, the Comet's primary purpose is solo PvP, it might find some uses in small gang frigate PvP too. It might also let you blitz some lower level missions.

The comet is one of the most versatile t1 frigs. It is commonly flown in two variations: Brawling may come in several variants, active armor tanked with a nos, buffer tanked with a Neut or even dualpropped. Its drones coupled with great null damage make it be very hard to scram-kite. The scram kiting comet too can be either active tanked, buffer tanked and dual proped. Its drones coupled with long range ammo might be come in very handu for fending off kiters, even with an AB fitted. The comet is also flyable as a kiting boat, it is mostly inferior to the Slicer stats wise but a kiting Comet brings a big element of surprise, it is also more forgiving than a Slicer to fly as you get a defensive web.

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.
