Flying the Nano SFI or Cynabal is almost like flying a frigate (with more firepower), you can hunt for targets anywhere in EVE with very little fear for camps or blobs. This mobility allows you to do things larger ships can't, like flying solo through hostile null sec to find blobs you can get kills from. Because of how fast and agile these ships are, you will find the Adrenaline Rush of flying and fighting in them VERY addictive.
The Armor SFI and Tech 1 Stabber are less "balls to the wall" type ships, and more Tactical and Methodical. The Armor SFI is outrageously flexible and if you execute right (just look at the Cheat Sheet) you can take on 90% of the ships in EVE 1 on 1 with no fear.
The Tech 1 Stabber is a kill mail magnet!
Why? Because most people assume it's a long range ship and go in close, this misdirection puts them in your "kill zone" where you can dominate multiple targets at once. In Faction Warfare, you can do some serious damage with this thing!
If you have any of the other EVE PRO Guides PVP Guides you know how detailed and powerful these guides are. But in case this is your first Guide, let's go over what you're getting...
- Detailed Fitting Guides that give you the exact fittings you need plus recommended (but not required) implants and drugs.
- Fitting Guide Discussion Videos that explain the fittings and how they effect your tactics.
- Illustrated Tactics Lectures where you learn the PRO Tactics that you will use for each ship to get the upper hand and teach you how to get fights and escape when things go bad.
- Narrated and Illustrated Real PVP Fight Footage - There's no substitute for the real thing, so I've included over 5 hours of PVP Footage where I use my "sports replay" software to not just narrate, but stop the video and draw on the screen to help you learn even faster!
- Cheat Sheets you can print and keep beside you when PVPing that tell you exactly what tactics to use for every ship you are likely to encounter. This means less mistakes, and faster decision making. Both get you more kills!
If you're ready step up and take your place as a PRO SFI Pilot then you need to get your copy of the new SFI PRO Guide right now!

Three very cool ships however I am curious how they rank to each other. Cynnibals are considered one of the most imba ships in the game as anyone who knows by looking at their stats and price tag. SFI is good but are you saying that you could take on either of these ships with a regular stabber?
Still with that said...I like the fact that you are covering three very different ships with very different bonuses.
The bonuses vary but as far as nano is concerned the tactics and flying style are very similar.
Under the right circumstances a Stabber may be able to defeat the others, but that's not what I meant. I like the tech 1 Stabber so much because I can get kills in it very easily. Target come to me instead of running away.
Thinking about making this my first purchase. Been testing stabber, sfi and cynabals on the test server.
Noticed alot of people tend to run when they see the cynabal even when you pretend to be afk to bait them, Would this guide benefit me?
Yes it would... The fact that people avoid Cynabals is exactly why I focus mostly on the SFI. Most people don't know what to expect from it. Many times they think you are armor fit since that's the old way people flew them. So it's much easier to get fights with a SFI.
Thanks for the reply. Buying the guide now. Thanks buddy
Hi, got the wolf guide (awesome btw). Could a wolf take on a cynabal if I found myself being in the 5km zone and had not taken any dmg as yet etc. ?
I wouldn't try a Cynabal unless I knew he was low SP and/or poorly fit (no neut).
What's this 5km zone you talk of, I don't see that range listed on the wolf cheat sheet.
Hi Snake, sorry for any confusion, I found myself within 5km of a cynabal the other day - from there i could have mwd to get close to him or jump away b4 he targets me etc. (we both werent expecting each other) so i chose to jump away.
All the guides here not only teach you how to fit the ship or how to fly it -- narrated fights show you that 'hey, this is possible to do!' Once you know that some battle situation CAN be handled - there is much more chances that you will be able to actually handle it (or at least try to) instead of sitting and watching your ship exploding.
And another benefit is that you'll be able to identify the most deadliest tactics when they are used AGAINST you. For example you'll be able to identify the usual target isolation tactics and not try to chase a Cynnabal on a MWD-on frigate ;)
And yes, I've bought the guide in the first 10 minutes in become available and I'm pretty sure it is worth its money.
Quick question i see you have a hurricane giude. Are your video guides up to date for odysey/ retribution. A lot has changed esp with fittings . Wanted to ask before i grab them up ty
I have updated the guides to reflect the fitting changes. The videos are from before retribution so you will notice two neuts, but the new fits just have one. However, everything you learn in the videos apply the same as before.
