The Dragoon follows old religious tenets - ones thought rather dark by the majority of the cluster, but found perfectly normal by Amarr minds - that to exist as God's chosen people means fulfilling a very definite and often forceful role. This includes not only imposing the will of God, often through the time-honored methods of mindless proxies, but also profiting, even being nourished, off the energies of others.

As such, the Dragoon focuses on sending out a mass of drones, ones capable not only of swiftly hunting down their targets but also of inflicting tons of damage once contact is made. Moreover, the Dragoon is able to drain the target's energy in the meanwhile, all with the aim of leaving it little more than a trembling husk.

Summary

The Dragoon is an Amarr destroyer with bonuses towards drones and energy neutralizer range. Like its cousins, the Sentinel and Curse, the Dragoon is designed to cap out the enemy, rendering them helpless while the drones do the work.

The Dragoon is not seen in PvE because its hull bonus to energy neutralizers is useless against NPCs.

Skills

Minimum skills to be an effective energy neutralization platform.

  • Drones V
  • Advanced Drone Avionics I
  • Capacitor Emission Systems III
  • Capacitor Management IV
  • Capacitor Systems Operation IV

Tactics

Energy Neutralization

Nosferatu has been changed to work if your target has more raw capacitor rather than a higher percentage. This means that the Dragoon with its tiny battery can easily run Nosferatu on larger ships until they are almost completely out of capacitor. These Nosferatu can in turn be used to power Neutralizers which are used to quickly drain your target of capacitor. This makes the Dragoon a very effective platform for Cap warfare against cruiser sized ships.

Drones

The dragoon is also a good drone platform, but it's not very commonly seen in this role. This is likely due to the fact that it requires a lot of training in drones to make the Dragoon an effective drone boat, and this doesn't fit in well with the initial training that Amarr players are doing. By the time an Amarr player has the drone skills needed to use the Dragoon effectively as a drone boat, they are probably already using cruiser sized hulls.
