'' | 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. | ||
