The '''Typhoon''' is one of the two Minmatar attack battleships, and is focused on missiles. In many ways it serves as a counterpart to the Caldari [[Raven]]: both are missile battleships with 6 launchers and a fire rate bonus, however the two ships differ in two important aspects. First, the Typhoon is almost exclusively armor-tanked, due to its extra Low slots (while the Raven is usually shield-tanked). And second, where the Raven has a bonus to missile range, the Typhoon has a bonus to missile damage application. This makes the Raven more favored for long-range missile sniping, while the Typhoon is more favored for closer-range brawling with Rapid Heavys or Torpedoes, aided by its generous 5-slot Mid rack and 100MBit Drone Bandwidth. (This being said though, a Typhoon can still combine Cruise Missiles and 4 Sentry Drones to great effect.)

Among well-resourced players it sees niche use as an extremely fast small-gang battleship.

Much praised by its proponents and much maligned by its detractors, the Typhoon-class battleship has always been one of the most hotly debated spacefaring vessels around. Its distinguishing aspect - and the source of most of the controversy - is its sheer versatility, variously seen as either a lack of design focus or a deliberate freedom for pilot modification.

Summary

The Typhoon is one of the two Minmatar attack battleships, and is bonused for missiles.

In many ways the Typhoon serves as a counterpart to the Caldari Raven: both are missile battleships with 6 launchers and a rate-of-fire bonus. However, the two differ in two important aspects. First, the Typhoon is usually armor-tanked, due to its extra low slots, while the Raven is usually shield-tanked. And second, where the Raven has a bonus to missile range, the Typhoon has a bonus to missile damage application.

This makes the Raven more favored for long-range missile sniping, while the Typhoon is more favored for closer-range brawling with Rapid Heavys or Torpedoes, aided by its generous 5-slot mid rack and 100MBit Drone Bandwidth. That said, a Typhoon can still combine Cruise Missiles and 4 Sentry Drones for significant long-range DPS.

The Typhoon also has an unusually high speed (for a battleship). With high character skills and fitted for speed, it can MWD at about 1.5km/s; with drugs, expensive implants, and the right Command Bursts from fleet-members, this speed can rise above 2km/s, or above 3km/s with heat. Among well-resourced players it sees niche use as an extremely fast small-gang battleship.
