Megathron: Difference between revisions

Line 94:

The '''Megathron''' is a gun boat, specializing in large hybrid turrets, and being something of a spiritual successor to the [[Thorax]] and [[Brutix]]. With 4 mid slots and 8 lows, it is almost exclusively armor-tanked, and can mount a thick armor buffer or a respectable active tank (though it lacks the [[Hyperion]]'s active tank bonus). It has the bandwidth and drone bay to field either a flight of 3 heavy drones or full flights of both light and medium drones to add to its DPS.

~~Though the selectable damage of drones leads many pilots~~ to ~~prefer the~~ [[~~Dominix~~]] ~~as a basic Gallente PvE battleship,~~ the ~~Megathron can perform adequately in PvE combat~~. ~~In PvP~~, it can be used as an ~~extremely~~ high-DPS brawler~~, or fitted~~ with ~~railguns as~~ a ~~sniper; at various times in EVE's history, sniper Megathrons have found favor in alliance [[doctrines]]~~.

In fleet combat Megathrons are usually fitted with railguns which can reach very good ranges due to [[Turrets#Hybrid_ammo|spike ammunition]]; at the same time the application is decent due to the bonus to tracking speed. Besides that, it can also be used as an high-DPS brawler.

The Megathron is also traditionally used to roll wormholes. This is because with the old wormhole mechanics it was favorable to have a ship mass of just under 100 kt before fitting. In comparison to the other options the Megathron has many lows lots for tank and enough mid slots for a range of prop mods.
