About this converter
These are base max velocities in meters per second with no skills, modules or implants, taken from EVE University Wiki ship pages that mirror CCP attributes. Attack frigates top the list: Slasher at 430, Atron at 420, Executioner at 410 and Condor at 400. Combat frigates cluster lower: Rifter and Breacher at 365, Punisher at 355, Incursus at 340, Tormentor and Venture at 335, Kestrel at 325, Merlin at 320 and Tristan at 315. That makes one Slasher equal about 1.37 Tristans at base speed. Roles explain the order: tackle hulls trade tank for pace, while drone and missile boats sit slower.
How to use it
Pick two ships and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first ship, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds speed in m/s or km/h. Try Slasher against Tristan for fastest against slowest, then switch m/s to km/h.
Skills change everything after this table: Navigation and Evasive Maneuvering raise real speeds, and afterburners and microwarpdrives multiply them. Faction, Tech II and pirate hulls are absent on purpose and the page says so. All 13 rows are Tech I frigates plus the Venture mining frigate, so comparisons stay within one class. Patch balances can shift a hull by 5 or 10 m/s, and notes will track any move.
FAQ
Which frigate is fastest here?
Slasher at 430 m/s. Atron follows at 420, Executioner at 410 and Condor at 400.
Which frigate is slowest here?
Tristan at 315 m/s. Merlin at 320 and Kestrel at 325 sit just above it.
Are these speeds with skills and modules?
No. Base hull velocity only. Skills, rigs, afterburners and microwarpdrives all raise real flight speed.
Why is the Venture in this table?
It is a Tech I frigate hull with a published 335 base speed, so it fits the class even though it mines instead of fighting.
