Review - Kestrel

4 light missiles that keep firing can rack up quite the bit of damage! Especially with the high bonuses from the ship itself.

In a small fleet, once aggro has been established, a few kestrels can help kill the smaller ships quickly and then move onto the large battleships.

I personally love flying this frigate because if you fly it fast enough and close enough to the enemy, they can’t hit you with very much damage. While your light missiles are still doing the maximum damage.

If engaging a bigger ship that is shooting big guns or big missiles at you, don’t worry too much. If you don’t know what I am talking about, check out this guide.

Quick gang PvP raids can include circling the target at 1000m/s with a microwarpdrive, web, and scramble. Try not to use rockets on the kestrel as it does not have a bonus for it.

Anyways, the missiles will launch at very fast speeds with the necessary skills trained up. When you are on the defensive, be sure to equip a booster or some hardeners to keep the shields up.

Overall, I think the Kestrel is a very good frigate to start out with. Or if you just want to fool around in low sec, it is a cheap and effective ship.

Either way, I’m sure you will have a blast with it!
