Do you want to learn how to PvP in EVE? Give the 20 Frigate Plan a try

I feel like maybe 10 brawlers, then 10 kiters then 10 neut focused would be the way to go.

I tried with kiting tristans with this and struggled to get positive results. I then went to more of a brawl fit (well… an 8km Tormentor that didn’t need to focus on range much) and it was much easier. when I came back to the Tristan that was easier too.
