Any ideas would be welcome, this is for 2/10 only, if you have one and would be prepared to share the fit, I would be eternally greatful.

I am currently training up all weapon support skills for guns and missiles.

Thanks in advance.

the Hookbil has a shield boost bonus, the worm has a bit better dps if u fit it right i think.

Even with gate restrictions, there is nothing a worm can do, that a merlin cant do with a similar degree of effectiveness. Faction frigs are purely for epeen, bar from the hookbills hp tank. And thats of no value to you, as even when fitted for dps...well - HA!

Well its quite simple in terms of reason why... I'm getting bored looking at the Merlin! The plex thing suits my playin style at the moment, I'm logging on for very short periods, but quite often.
My skills are predominantly tank based, and am working up gankability, I also fancy a nice ship, I dont really wanna train Frigate V, or indeed assault ships, but still enjoy the fast and furious action that the plex has to offer Laughing
I also would like to invest some time in both guns and missile skills, which I guess leads me to ye olde Hookbill... I guess?

If you have mostly tank, but not very much gank I'd actually suggest getting amarr frig + small energy turret for the succubus. You'll notice how incredibly superior it is compared to other faction frigs.

I don't think it takes more than a day for you to train up so you can use the succubus.

/e: oh and you won't regret having amarr skills once amarr becomes fotm.

hookbill tank > any other frigate. Even most AFs. So no, Succubus isnt better at tanking. Nor was it on the list Very Happy

Worm, no doubt - 700m/s in deadspace for as long as you like, full damage out to over 50km - can clean out plex rooms with rats not even getting into attack range.

In less than 10 seconds I chewed through a Hookbill's tank in my retribution (1x heat sink only)....and with Scorch S btw.

If that hookbill had the standard fit with 2 medium shield extenders that means your retribution does over 750 dps. Now somehow I doubt that, so my guess is that is was a badly fitted hookbill.

Setups vary my friend. With the setup i use, i can permatank a drake/myrm, with 14k shield hp too. Plus, EM has never been caladri's friend. And even more so, i never said an AF cant break its tank. I said no t1 frig can get a better tank, and most AFs cant.

With a tank like that you must be doing AWESOME DPS. With that AWESOME DPS doing plexes must be as exciting as watching a piece of bread mold.

Wow, you really do like shooting yourself in the foot dont you?

At this time, ill point you to my original post of:

Now, perhaps you should pull your head out of your backside, and stop regurgitating your own ****, and instead...READ the information people present. Rather than running your mouth of like a chav in a shopping mall.

Judging by this post and some of the spam email I get, I believe your native form of english must be of the nigerian dialect....Wink
