My advice, depending on what you can already fly, is to build a Punisher or Merlin specifically designed to combat Rifters and fly about lowsec in that for a while. I'm currently prowling the space lanes in a Vengeance. Best of luck to you.FNGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728186789797445881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491992585611173248.post-72999675255829423782011-02-17T13:06:04.562-05:002011-02-17T13:06:04.562-05:0020km optimal on a frigate and several hundred DPS?...20km optimal on a frigate and several hundred DPS?

If you didn't have your web on him from the start then you never had a chance to win that fight. I'm not sure why he didn't point you... seems odd.<br /><br />The big lesson to be learned here: manual flying beats the orbit button every time.
