The Stabber Fleet Issue (more commonly called the SFI) is a popular ship for destroying destroyer and frigate sized ships. A good slot layout coupled with an excellent tracking bonus makes the SFI one of the very last ships to pick a fight with in a frigate. While outshone somewhat by the faster and longer ranged Omen Navy Issue, the SFI is still a capable ship.

Responding to voices stating that the Stabber needed an upgrade to be viable as a fleet vessel of military standards, the Republic Fleet commissioned the creation of the Fleet Issue Stabber; a slower, hardier version of the original that packs quite a bit more firepower. Being as new as it is on the battlefield, the Fleet Issue Stabber hasn't seen many large engagements yet, but its engineers as well as Fleet command are very optimistic about its performance.

• Minmatar Cruiser II

Minmatar Cruiser bonuses (per skill level):

• 5% bonus to Medium Projectile Turret rate of fire
• 10% bonus to Medium Projectile Turret tracking speed

• SFI: 3 rig slots, 6 lows, higher base EHP, smaller sig radius, stronger sensor strength and scan resolution
• Vagabond: 2 rig slots, 5 lows, higher Base Speed, bigger sig radius, slightly higher resists
• Considering the previous facts, its fairly obvious which is better for brofist-style gangs.
