Maelstrom: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
Summary: It no longer has the same slot layout as the Vargur as the Vargur was changed.

The '''Maelstrom''' is the Minmatar T1 battleship with a tank bonus as such it has a bonus to shield boosters; further it’s bonused for projectile turrets. Its slot layout is the same as the [[Vargur]] and thus one might think the Maelstrom might behave similarly but just scaled down to a T1 hull. The bonuses the Vargur gains through being a Marauder are crucial to its strength though. So the Maelstrom is rather at a weird place.

With autocannons it can reach impressive DPS but has trouble getting into range as it is slow and has no range bonus. The popular autocannon battleships are either fairly fast ([[Tempest Fleet Issue]]), have a range bonus (Vargur), or both ([[Machariel]]). It also lacks a utility high which is valuable in short range PvP.
