RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES

The Thorax-class cruiser is the latest combat ship commissioned by the Federation. While the Thorax is a very effective ship at any range, typical of modern Gallente design philosophy it is most effective when working at extreme close range where its blasters and hordes of combat drones tear through even the toughest of enemies.

Summary

The Thorax is a gun boat, designed to use hybrid turrets. In PvP the Thorax is used as a hard hitting blaster boat, using a Microwarpdrive (taking advantage of its secondary bonus) to close quickly and deliver high damage. This can be highly effective but is very "do or die", and will make most Thoraxes lives glorious but short. In PvE the Thorax is less popular, partly because its secondary bonus to MWDs is not used and because the slow and steady style of the Vexor is more suited to mission running. Despite this the Thorax can be popular as a first mission running cruiser, because most pilots will have trained gunnery skills while piloting frigates and destroyers, while they will probably have neglected the drone skills required to use a Vexor effectively. Having said that, the Thorax has a 50m3 drone bay, so will also benefit greatly from drone skills.
