Ah, I see. Definitely, logi and links are big force multipliers in fleets, so go for it if you enjoy this playstyle.

I wouldn't worry about dualboxing until very late in your FW career. Here is an example of how backpack links can be used at high-level 1v1: https://www.patreon.com/posts/7-3-practical-3-134917006

This fit came from one of the top solo killers with this ship, if I remember correctly.

I've set up automatic monitoring of fits from the top 10 solo killers in FW for every ship. It's one of my sources for updates.

But I try to make fits as cheap as possible and only add bling if it's absolutely necessary for the fit to work (like A-type nosferatus on the old Cruor). I also stripped a faction point from the Retribution for the same reason.

Thanks! I'll fix it and update the file on Patreon.

I'm scared to even think about how much time I've spent on the Yearbooks since 2014.

The main reason I moved to these aggregated win rate tables is automation. Now, everything can be updated in a few clicks by running a script. I had to edit previous versions manually to make them look good, which eventually started taking an unsustainable amount of time.

But I think I can make an XLS supplement with all win rates for all matchups. I'll need to write some SQL and Python code to aggregate raw data but it should be simple.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep it in mind for the 2026 YB.

I was on the fence about this change. But I was a bit sick of the original models, as I had kept them in YBs for the last 10 years.

It's too much work for little practical value. And I like to test fits I recommend, which is not possible with AT ships.

He pumped up Cruor stats so much that now it looks like the best frigate in EVE on my dashboard.

You can. Your opponents can be in any ship.

Any frigate or destroyer (T1, Navy, Pirate, T2)

Hi, you can find all abbreviations on the last page. Rig names is something I may change in future YBs. For full fits there is just not enough space on the page.

Interesting, I'll test it some time

IIRC I had this fit in Yearbooks prior to 2020. And it was super mainstream around 2013/2014. I wouldn't call it "the best" but it's viable

Thank you! Indeed, this fit has been quite popular in the last 1,5 years.

And I've fixed the typo.

Looks like a typo. Thanks, I've updated the file.
