Unlikely Solo PVP Ships = Win

From time to time I like to fit out some unconventional ships and see what I can do with them.  The best part about them, other than the fact that they are fun, is that people underestimate them so it's alot easier to get a fight.

First up... The Anti-Inty Imicus!

Targets: Raptor, Malediction, Stilleto, Ares, and any other Frig that is typically low HP like bombers, ewar frigs, etc.

Tactics: Approach and get scram (Heat MWD if needed) then get in close and heat guns for entire fight.

Small Ancillary Current Router I

Small Hybrid Ambit Extension I

Hobgoblin II x3

 

Next up...  Anti-Inty Cormorant

Targets: Any Frigate besides a Assualt Frigate

Tactics: Sit out at 100km or so from a gate and wait for a Inty to run at you for tackle. Try to Keep him at 20km or so for as long as possible. Your tracking is good but at < 5km it's not a sure thing.

Most inty pilots get a big shock from this one.

Caldari Cruisers are usually laughed at in PVP because many people believe they suck at PVP. However, with the right fitting and the right pilot, they can do well.

The Moa alone can make a good PVP ship, but if you add Drugs and some Crystal implants it can easily surprise unsuspecting enemies...

Targets: Cruisers, Frigs, Some Battle Cruisers

Tactics: Orbit 500 and brawl.

The Caracal is another underestimated ship, but when fitted with a single purpose in mind it becomes a powerful frigate killer.

Targets: All Frigates, Some Destroyers

Tactics: Web, Point, and Kill but watch out for blobs coming after you engage a frigate.
