The Scythe Fleet Issue is a throwback to earlier days of Minmatar ship design, when the scarcity of resources meant that a single ship needed to be able to do almost everything. While often dubbed a "mini-Typhoon" for this reason, this versatile gunboat nonetheless has nowhere near the defensive capabilities of its larger ancestor. What it does bring to the table, however, is unparalleled agility and unpredictability. A squadron of these ships can be an immense thorn in the side of even the most able and well-equipped fleet commander.

Summary

The Scythe Fleet Issue is, unlike its basic form, not a logistics ship. It has so-called "split bonuses", with one bonus for projectile turrets and one for missiles, and an equal number of turret and launcher highpoints, 4, in a 5-high-slot ship. This means that to extract its maximum possible DPS, a pilot must have good projectile and missile skills, or else forego one of the bonuses and use a utility high slot for something else.

The SFI is also fast and agile, and it has a subtle but powerful advantage in its very, very small signature radius for a damage-dealing cruiser. These characteristics lend themselves to kiting tactics.

Skills

Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Scythe Fleet Issue for a specific or its common role(s) can be written here.

Tactics

Fast kiting is usually the name of the game with a Scythe Fleet Issue. Pilots can consider whether missiles or turrets serve their purposes best.

In some applications and fittings, it might be possible to take advantage of the tiny signature radius (for a cruiser) by fitting an afterburner or dual propulsion.
