==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Cyclone is the Minmatar Tier 1 Battlecruiser. If it were for any other race, it would be known as a decent gunboat with a moderate tank. Unfortunately, it lives in the shadow of it's more famous brother, the Hurricane, which is only a couple of training hours away and is superior to the Cyclone in almost every way, including adaptability. This being said, the Cyclone is often underestimated.
The '''Cyclone''' is a Minmatar Battlecruiser and, unlike its brother the [[Hurricane]] and most other Minmatar ships, the Cyclone is bonused towards missiles rather than projectile turrets. Unlike the Drake, which is designed to mount a large buffer tank and deal most of its damage with kinetic missiles, the Cyclone is bonused to take advantage of shield boosters to mount a massive active tank, albeit for a only limited period of time, while its rate of fire bonus allows the Cyclone greater flexibility in terms of the damage types it can use. The Cyclone also has a decent dronebay and bandwidth 50{{m3}}, allowing it to field a full flight of medium drones for extra DPS, or two flights of small drones instead.
 
== Skills ==
Like many Minmatar ships, the Cyclone is very skill intensive. A player looking to fly a Cyclone should have strong missile skills. Energy neutralizers or vampires are often equipped in the extra high slots for PvP, although this is not a very long train. Cyclones are shield tanked more often than not in order to take advantage of the ship's bonuses, so good active shield tanking skills are also recommended.
