==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Velator is the Gallente Rookie Ship. This ship is given free of charge to Gallente players who, while flying the pod, dock at a station at which they have no ship. It has no blueprint and can not be manufactured or reprocessed.
The Velator is the Gallente [[Corvette]]. This ship is given free of charge to Gallente players who click on the "Board my Corvette" button while docked in a station. It has no blueprint and can not be manufactured or reprocessed.


As with all Rookie Ships, the Velator is a cheap and disposable hull, but is outclassed in every regard by almost any other player-piloted ship. Gallente pilots wishing to advance into different hulls may want to upgrade to one of the following depending on their preferred piloting style:
As with all Corvettes, the Velator is a cheap and disposable hull, but is outclassed in every regard by almost any other player-piloted ship. Gallente pilots wishing to advance into different hulls may want to upgrade to one of the following depending on their preferred piloting style:
* Pilots focusing primarily on Drones may find the '''[[Tristan]]''' to be an effective replacement.
* Pilots focusing primarily on drones may find the {{sh|Tristan}} to be an effective replacement.
* For pilots more interested in Hybrid Turrets, the Gallente '''[[Incursus]]''' is a good choice.
* For pilots more interested in hybrid turrets, the {{sh|Incursus}} is a good choice.
* If you are looking to work with a fleet in a [[Tackling_Guide|tackle]] role, the '''[[Atron]]''' is likely your next step.
* For pilots looking to work with a fleet in a [[tackle]] role, the {{sh|Atron}} will likely be the next step.
* For pilots aspiring to be proficient at [[Scanning_&_Probing|exploration]], the Gallente '''[[Imicus]]'''-class exploration frigate is an excellent tool for the job.
* For pilots aspiring to be proficient at [[exploration]], the {{sh|Imicus}} exploration frigate is an excellent tool for the job.
* If you want to support fleets by using [[EWAR_Guide|Sensor Dampeners]] on the enemy ships the '''[[Maulus]]''' is a useful ship.
* For pilots interested in supporting fleets by using [[Electronic warfare|Sensor Dampeners]] on enemy ships, the {{sh|Maulus}} is a useful ship.
* Last but not least, the '''[[Navitas]]''' offers powerful remote repair capabilities to those who prefer to [[Logistics_101:_Introduction_to_Logistics|aid their allies]] instead of dealing damage themselves.
* Last but not least, the {{sh|Navitas}} offers powerful remote repair capabilities to those who prefer to [[Logistics|aid their allies]] instead of dealing damage themselves.


==Skills==
== Skills ==
The Velator is meant to be flown right from character creation - as such no real skills are "required" to pilot it, and by the time you've trained some early skills, you'll likely have acquired several better ships through the career agents.

== Tactics ==
{{:Gallente Basic Ship and Skill Guide|Velator}}
The Velator has a quiet, rarely-noticed advantage over the other corvettes: it has double the drone capacity and drone bandwidth. This gives it a possible advantage in the extremely niche situation of pre-agreed corvette battles. It can field two light scout drones, or one medium drone.

== Notes ==
''No sub-article about Velator roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.''
