Tuskers Frigate FFA - Part Deux

Hey there space friends! While I spent the last few weeks falling down mountains with plastic strapped to my feet, the rest of the Tuskers have been busy organising you a belated holiday gift. On Saturday 5th January from 1800 - 2400 eve time, we will be hosting the second round of our infamous Frigate FFA.

If you didn't hear about the last one the Tusker Frigate FFA is a huge frigate brawl, last time lasting featuring over two thousand kills with upwards of 150 participants at any given time. Not only do you get hours of non-stop combat, but thanks to a generous donation from former Tusker I Legionnaire, we also have billions of isk worth of prizes to hand out! Check out the prize haul from last round to give you an idea.

The format for this round will remain roughly the same, except for a few small changes. Firstly, we're extending the event from four to a whole six hours of frigate mayhem! We're also extending the event to include destroyers from 2100 onwards, giving you a chance to put some of Retribution's new murderboats through their paces. You can find the full details of the event here.

The choice of system for this round will be announced 48 hours before the event begins. Don't fear though, the Tuskers will be offering a courier service for anyone who needs ships and modules moved into place, and will also have plenty of fitted ships available to those who need them.

See you there!

Retribution Ship Balancing Review - Part 2

Retribution has arrived, and with it a fairly large chunk of my Know Your Enemy articles have become outdated. It's going to be a while before I can write the updated versions - while I can EFT warrior to my heart's content, until the meta has stabilized a little bit I can't really say for sure how they're all going to be fit (I can have a reasonable guess, but I've never been a fan of going off theory alone).

However, I can give you a quick run-down based on my initial observations. This post follows on from part 1, which covered the new frigates and destroyers, and will instead be focusing on the newly balanced cruisers as well as the (technically) non-combat ships that I missed out before - the exploration and mining frigates.
