No cruiser currently in existence can match the superiority of the Cerberus's onboard missile system. With a well-trained pilot jacked in, this fanged horror is capable of unleashing a hail of missiles to send even the most seasoned armor tankers running for cover.

Developer: Lai Dai

Moving away from their traditionally balanced all-round designs, Lai Dai have created a very specialized - and dangerous - missile boat in the Cerberus. Many have speculated that due to recent friction between Caldari megacorporations, LD may be looking to beef up their own police force with these missile-spewing monstrosities.

Summary

The Cerberus is a missile ship with extended range. This ship is definitively designed to use kinetic heavy assault missiles, with the Caldari Cruiser skill bonus doubling their range and increasing all kinetic missile damage by 20%. Heavy missile fits are also possible, but they do not benefit from the range bonus. Fit with Rapid light launchers, this monster becomes a definitive anti-tackle "flyswatter", especially paired with webs and/or target painter support.

The Cerberus can also be put to good use in PvE content, and can easily handle level 4 missions.

Skills

Tactics

Prior to the 2022 HAC rebalancing, the Cerberus was an extremely popular vessel in nulsec bloc warfare as an extremely long ranged (due to its dual range bonuses) and reasonably tanky missile boat. But with the 2022 Uprising Patch, the Cerberus's role has been changed fundamentally by the replacing of one of the range bonuses for a shield boosting bonus and the changing of its remaining range bonus to only apply to HAMs. The Cerberus quickly fell out of favor for bloc warfare in favor of the revamped Muninn and now sees use as a PvE ship or as a small gang PvP ship.
