Despite widespread disappointment within the State that Caldari researchers fell behind their counterparts in the Empire and Republic during the second wave of sleeper-derived weapons development in late YC116 and early YC117, the quality of their end result cannot be denied.

The Jackdaw is a versatile and powerful combat vessel, combining cutting edge advancements in missile and shield technology with the incredible breakthrough of the Self-Assembling Nanolattice to produce a ship that any Caldari pilot can be proud to fly.

Summary

The Jackdaw is the Caldari Tactical Destroyer, released in Carnyx. It is the 3rd Tactical Destroyer released, after the Confessor and the Svipul. The Jackdaw is the only Tactical Destroyer to utilize missiles. While slower than other tactical Destroyers, its 5 mid slots give the Jackdaw significant EWAR and other utility options.

Skills

Missile Fits

It should be noted that the Jackdaw is used in WH and lowsec space, so having scanning skills in order to more effectively use the expanded core probe launcher may be considered:

Tactics

The Jackdaw can be used to complete high security combat anomalies quickly. Simply warp into a combat anomaly, switch to sharpshooter mode, enable your shield tank and take out targets with the minimal amount of missiles for each target, prioritizing destroyers to decrease incoming damage. If done right, you can usually ignore the sentry towers, unless they are required to spawn more waves. It can effectively kill one frigate or destroyer per 2-3 missile volley (so either 1 or 2 ships per volley), depending on the target. It is best to ungroup your launchers to use them more effectively.

Notes

The Jackdaw was released in June 2015 in the Carnyx patch. The Tech 3 destroyers were given staggered releases from December 2014 to July 2015, with the order determined by players donating items to Empire NPCs. The Caldari received the third most donations and had their Tech 3 destroyer released third.

The Eurasian jackdaw is a bird noted for its intelligence and complex social structure within flocks.
