Caldari Frigate Hybrid Turret Setup

Recommended Caldari Frigate Usage

Condor - 1 Slot
Merlin - 2 Slots

The turret uses charged energy taken from the Ships Capacitor to shoot out ammunition shells each time they fire.
They use a magnetic rail to fire solid chunks of matter at hypersonic range hence the name Rail Gun.
They are good all-around turrets.
They have good range and firing rate.
They have medium capacitor drain and damage.
They do kinetic and thermal damage.
They are NOT "Specialized" for shields or armor.
Thermal Damage works against shields
Kinetic Armor works against armor.

The Hybrid Turret uses ammunition that is consumed with each shot.
Hybrid ammo is available in four sizes and many different kinds.
Frigates Use Standard Charges = Small
The hybrid turret, can load any kind of hybrid ammo.
Each ammunition type has its own statistics.
You can load and switch out ammo for another type from your cargo bay.
Tech 2 Turrets utilize advanced Ammo types.

Defenitions:

The accuracy falloff of a module is a measurement of distances at which the module becomes less than 100% effective as it is at its optimal range. The 1st falloff range is where chance to hit drops from 100% to 50% 50% to 2%. Falloff ranges do not affect damage dealt, only chance to hit.

Chance-to-hit is determined by the formula: C = 0.5^((R-O)/F)^2 where C = chance to hit, R = target range, O = optimal for weapon, F = falloff increment

This example illustrates the accuracy falloff concept. A Frigate is fitted with a Railgun Turret that has an optimal range of 10,000 m and an accuracy falloff of 5,000 m. Aa target that is less than 10,000 m from the ship, will always hit its target and cause damage If it can Track the Target. At a range between 10,000 m and 15,000 m (the first falloff range), this turret will hit 90% down to 50% as often still doing the same damages as in optimal range. In the second falloff range from 15,000 m to 20,000 m the weapon will hit 50% of the time down to 0% doing the same kinds of damages. After the second fall-off weapons can not hit their target.

The table uses the example weapon with
optimal range of 10,000m, falloff value of 5,000m

Some modules that have an optimal range do not have an accuracy falloff. These modules are completely ineffective on targets that are beyond their optimal range.
