The atron in particular is a better ship than you'd think from reading this article, I've actually seen them to do quite impressive things. When I get around to doing the full rewrite, I'll definitely try to do it more justice (of course it will probably have been buffed at that point anyway)!Azualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284543108965798013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194738944223601630.post-75136742083392590802012-05-06T13:52:13.721+01:002012-05-06T13:52:13.721+01:00Thanks for the feedback.

It isn't just the tier 1 frigs that got a short overview here - this was the first KYE article I did, and the original intention was to do a high level overview featuring only the commonly used ships (I later decided to include the others too, but only briefly).<br /><br />That changed, and now the series is much more about giving a detailed look at every ship in the line, including the unconventional ones. The plan is to rewrite this article completely to be in line with the others, but it doesn't make sense to do that until after the planned t1 frig changes go through (otherwise I'd have to rewrite it twice).Azualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284543108965798013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194738944223601630.post-67162468298180621802012-05-06T10:50:27.622+01:002012-05-06T10:50:27.622+01:00You're missing my point. This is 'know you...You're missing my point. This is 'know your enemy' and you said you wanted to inform people of what these ships are capable of, correct? You gave the other ships, including the rookie ships, intelligent and thoughtful analysis and then you surmised that all the ships in this class were absolutely no threat in all of 3 sentences. Not only does that not explain what any these ships are capable of should you encounter them, it's ignorant. I think if you can set aside your prejudice you would be pleasantly surprised to find out what you can actually do with these ships. The Atron and Executioner can fit a decent tank, tackle, and do decent dps and are respectable frigates. The Slasher and Condor have a more limited tank but other options are available with the 3rd high slot, especially in a gang. I love your site and have about 7 tabs open to different things that I'm learning, but I think you're being lazy and obtuse here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194738944223601630.post-74519978418075566862012-05-04T13:51:33.232+01:002012-05-04T13:51:33.232+01:00I don't really think that much has changed sin...I don't really think that much has changed since I wrote this article - I'll do a proper rewrite instead once CCP's planned t1 frigate balancing comes into effect.<br /><br />I may have been a little dismissive of the atron - unlike the other tier 1 frigs it's actually viable, but it's still pretty weak. Sure the numbers look nice, but consider the range you need to be at to actually hit with electron blasters + void, and how easy it is to stay at that range when you don't have a web.Azualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284543108965798013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194738944223601630.post-8364727867208699972012-05-04T12:02:36.877+01:002012-05-04T12:02:36.877+01:00I really appreciate your insights but I think this...I really appreciate your insights but I think this needs updating (ammo and hybrid fixes, rigs are very cheap now, etc).
