Hello, Taking a bit of a break from 0.0 to bring you a guide for the Kestrel intended for lowsec FW PvP. The Kestrel is a really strong ship that has a lot of favourable match-ups with common and traditional AB/Scram brawl style setups used within Factional Warfare.
If you have any suggestions or requests please let me know in the comments and I'll my best to honour them.
[Kestrel, New Setup 1]
Damage Control II
Ballistic Control System II
1MN Afterburner II
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
Medium Shield Extender II
Rocket Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Rocket
Small Warhead Calefaction Catalyst I
Small Bay Loading Accelerator I
[empty rig slot]
Caldari Navy Mjolnir Rocket x1000
Caldari Navy Inferno Rocket x1000
Caldari Navy Scourge Rocket x1000
Caldari Navy Nova Rocket x1000
Scourge Rage Rocket x1000
Nanite Repair Paste x50
Scourge Javelin Rocket x1000
Total Cost for the ship is about 10-12 million isk. I don't think I ever ended up using Rage or Javelin in any point of the 8+ hours of PvP that I did, so you can probably forego those if you want to save some isk, and 1000 of each missile type is a bit overboard.
Implants used;
3% Mwd Speed, 3% Maximum Shield, 3% reduced explosion radius, 3% Rocket Damage, 3% missile rate of fire. (approx 70mil~~ for the set)
If you don't want to lay down that much isk for the implants, then 3% hull + 3% MWD Speed and 1% Shield HP, 1% rocket damage and 1% rate of fire will cost you under 6mil. The Implants are worthwhile because there is little risk of getting podded in lowsec if you're careful.

I had forgotten you folks were still alive out there. I look forward to watching these. Maybe they'll inspire me to return to Eve. The universe is surely to safe without me there to wreck the place. ;)

@eveiseasy 10 лет назад

Not totally alive: Will Adama is still on a hiatus from eve, Garmon and Duncan are fairly busy in real life. Garmon suggested to me (Suitonia) that I upload the videos I made recently to the eveiseasy channel as he thought that the people who were previously subscribed would be interested in the content. Garmon may be bringing you some Alliance Tournament related video soon (no promises though! just what he suggested to me on Skype).

@QueenFiria 10 лет назад

eveiseasy It's good to breathe new life into the community, even with the old guard on hiatus. Frigate fights were content that the older crew didn't deliver on to often, so I think it's a solid addition to what's available. I hope your next video doesn't take as long as the last time the channel was updated. ;)

@Uandme1988 9 лет назад

Hi and thank you for your awesome video. I have been watching it a lot since I started FW and I followed your guide for the Kestrel. In game my corp mates told me to change the laucher riggs(Small Warhead Calefaction Catalyst I and Small Bay Loading Accelerator I ) for shield riggs, (Anti em, anti thermal and shield extander). What is your opinion on this ? I am new in PVP so I don't know if I need more dps or more tanking. Thanks in advance, bye.

oh god he's come back!

@Flackyncc 9 лет назад

as a new aspiring pvp'r... I have a simple question.... the first fight with the merlin... did you use an orbital strategy or a "Keep at range" strategy?

@eveiseasy 9 лет назад

Flackyncc It doesn't matter too much, Keep at Range and Orbit at the same range is more or less identical in function when kiting someone in a Kestrel, the benefit of orbit is that it does give you some traversal so it can be easier when fighting multiple ships or when you need to mitigate DPS in some way through speed. The only real drawback with orbit is that it's slightly easier for your opponent to escape as orbiting makes you stay slightly further out than the range you use and trys to come in at a sustainable angle rather than approaching, so something to keep in mind. (Both orbit and KAR are pretty much identical in that fight though).

@Disappearation 10 лет назад

Actually Executioner doesnt get tracking bonus, nice vid tho, keep on :D

@Disappearation 10 лет назад

Also, looking forward to the Tormentor video

@ninjabastard666 9 лет назад

Would help if you credited peoples music in your video then I can go and listen to the whole track.

@Dudeabides422 10 лет назад

You never seem to have issues dictating range in what is a fairly slow ship- are you using links by any chance? it seems like a lot of your opponents could have disengaged if they wanted to. Range dictation is so huge in frig 1v1, (to the point where many will fit dual web on their kestrals) and I'm wondering how you seem to keep it. Nice kills :)

@doomingwithdoogie9624 10 лет назад

I use the Tormentor. I love it.

@Uandme1988 8 лет назад

Hi, today I lost a close fight against a Tristan (with neut and armor tanked) with my Kestrel. What range do you recommand to fight it at ? Thanks in advance, your vids are really useful.

@eveiseasy 8 лет назад

+Uandme1988 you'll probably want to stay at 8-9km to stay outside the neut range and any off-spec weapons he has. It's still a hard fight though.

@Uandme1988 8 лет назад

+eveiseasy thanks a lot for your answer. The hobgoblins 2 are so strong. Maybe I should put shield resist riggs. Take care.

@ilarrandar6970 9 лет назад

The unfortunate thing is that this setup requires all 5 skills (perfected kestrel) which is never gonna suit those people who are relatively new to the game.

@eveiseasy 9 лет назад

Ilar Ran Dar I have a guide to the Kestrel (although more focused towards 0.0) for new players on the channel. The new player fit will work just fine in FW space, just replace the MWD with an Afterburner (And AB is easier to fit than MWD). This fit should be fine too, you might need to use a named Medium Shield Extender instead of T2, or a named damage control if you need the CPU, but should be good to go.

@dddarklord 10 лет назад

That is not close to merlin dps...

@nrosthan 9 лет назад

dude.. the tracking on the Lasers is crap regardless of tracking bonuses, always orbit lasers 500 that is part of your problem. Also you got lucky with the hookbill, don't try to take hookbills in your kestrel...
