Where? :)<BR/><BR/>The first month or two I pirated in the Amamake area in an Incursus, I could never beat a decently-fitted and decently-piloted Rifter (and there were LOTS of them in that region). There is pretty much no other frigate that it can't beat (or at least run away from) in a fight. Hell, I think I'd rather fly a Rifter than a Caracal in most situations even.Spectrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633811678597504887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2826644557463580695.post-18658373652472998702008-09-16T09:13:00.000-07:002008-09-16T09:13:00.000-07:00@ keystoneAt least Minmatar Frigate 4 to start wit...@ keystone<BR/><BR/>At least Minmatar Frigate 4 to start with, Gunnery and Small Projectile Turret, Use of either a 1mn AB or MWD, a Warp Scrambler and Stasis Web. The the ability to fit armour plates, a small armour repairer and either a damage control or Gyrostabilisers.<BR/><BR/>That's just the basics, getting gunnery support skills up as well as aiming for tech 2 small autocannons would be a priority IMO. Engineering skills are also important in terms of capacitor energy. If you have any other questions join the Novakane ingame chat channel and I'll try answer them best I can, either that or Independence channel where many other Pirates hang out.Kane Rizzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106493724032118699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2826644557463580695.post-17953994123334224042008-09-16T08:46:00.000-07:002008-09-16T08:46:00.000-07:00I'm new to EvE and I was wondering what are some s...I'm new to EvE and I was wondering what are some skills associated with operation of a Rifter?Keystonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01397792246346162886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2826644557463580695.post-61288258268335600812008-09-16T07:58:00.000-07:002008-09-16T07:58:00.000-07:00Another great entry and I was in local when Kane w...Another great entry and I was in local when Kane was educating the rifters. I sat back and watched the KB get populated....<BR/><BR/>The rifter is a wonderful ship; cheap, fast and versatile. It hits hard too and while it has some definite weaknesses - in the hands of a skilled pilot; it can take down most ships. A pack of them will give a BS pause for thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2826644557463580695.post-51852189624124197412008-09-16T06:42:00.000-07:002008-09-16T06:42:00.000-07:00Very good read.

All weekend I saw about 2 possible targets and yet you seem to see nothing but noob Rifters!<BR/><BR/>I definitely agree with you on the simple joys of Rifter piracy.
