Added a few things which I missed earlier. Totally blanked on EAFs, though honestly probably for good reason. :P

Sentinel: a real bitch to fight in a gunship.
Kitsune: a great EW support ship that can GTFO fast.
Keres: isn't the best, but it's okay as primary point and secondary EW against missile boats.
Hyena: never come across the Minni EAF.

Oh I know what they do. The problem is they are almost always paper thin compared to the alternatives and tend to have limited utility in a mixed cruiser/bc fleet when recons do the job 10x better. At least how I fly pure frig fleets are rather rare, which is the only fleet comp I can think of that can find a good use for them.

I usually only FC Frig or Cruiser gangs, BC rarely. BS are too fat & slow for the tactics I prefer, despite the fact they can throw out the damage to make the hit & run gangs blow things up faster.
As FC, I prefer to only really use BS for POS bashing, but in that case, I may as well undock the Dread & Carrier.

Updated it again with the more recent stuff I added/removed. Major change was seriously tweaking the forward scout list, but the more I try to fiddle with it the more annoying it can be to try to order it in a way that applies to every gang comp (pretty much impossible).
