The gentleman's agreement to kill third parties is awesome, I will have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing, Sabre SG. It's always a treat to see you out there picking fights.
@sabresg fit is lethal. Great fun and fw completely changes perception of engagement for a player like me who perhaps spent too long in indy avoiding fights. Looking forward to any more content you have planned. One satisfied viewer. Made EVE thrilling again. Good luck k SabreSG!
Nice, I fought Minnie the other day, she had an MWD Tristan and kited me out, I managed to get away XD Also Ra Hova will be added to my dishonor list and ill make sure I fight extra dirty if we cross paths lol
haha! there was a kestrel video coming :D I'm happy I didn't even try shooting you at that gate... you would've wrecked my beam confessor with that fit.
Could you explain for a newbie what you do when the enemy pops up in your dscan in a small site, what buttons do you actually press to engage? orbit at range (keep spamming?) dependent on enemy, afterburner (leave on?), dual web (leave on?), and fire rockets pretty much it?
hey mate, enjoying your vids and they've given me some inspiration to reinstall eve and check out the new FW stuff - any tips for getting off to a decent start?
Another great video! On the topic of choosing to tank hull instead of armor (or, more generally, to tank X instead of Y) -- and with the Kestrel VS Kestrel fight as an example, where once the target was down to hull they just melted -- assuming a buffer fit including Damage Control: isn't it always best to tank hull, because that's where the highest resists are, across the board?
Armor rigs give more ehp than hull overall, but you are vulnerable to explosive damage. Hull has slightly less overall but no resist holes. Armor rigs slow your ship down and make you take more damage from missiles/slightly harder to control range. Hull doesn't slow you down but impedes cargo space, which is a non-issue for frigate 1v1s.
His ancillary armor repper was holding up - while it still had charges. But the dual webs let you get in a tight orbit and together with the low sig radius from armor tanking lets you get under his guns.

As long as it's a pirate 3rd party not in each others milita, leads to some pretty cool fights. 😀
Nice! Glad to see you're still making content SabreSG. Love your stuff!
Hey, thanks! 👍
I love the kestrel. nice flying
Thanks. Got my first kill in this fit today. Awesome!
Nice work, glad it's worked for you. Dual web are great for controlling the fight. 👍

Geez I dunno confessor would be a very tough fight. 😀
i love this man! keep it up.
Thanks, will do! 👍
good job, How do you like to use the overview? Do you have any tips on this?

Join a corp! both factions in our WZ have good leadership to guide you.
I agree with Max, Joining a good corp is half the battle, I/ pretty happy with corp im in your welcome to join to. 😀
@@sabresg cool, thanks - I see you have a discord, I'll jump in have a chat

It depends as while you get good resist across the board some ships have a very low amount of hull tank and it's not wirth doing.
Armor rigs give more ehp than hull overall, but you are vulnerable to explosive damage. Hull has slightly less overall but no resist holes.
Armor rigs slow your ship down and make you take more damage from missiles/slightly harder to control range. Hull doesn't slow you down but impedes cargo space, which is a non-issue for frigate 1v1s.
can someone explain to me why this kestral build does so well against the executioner who has an armor repairer?

Kestrel is such a power house in solo frigs
Yeah mate it pretty fun to fly! 👍
